That wasn't even close to being worst this season. Granted CGY defended really well - we didn't get any actual chances there.

At least the lead did not increase.

Neither would I. I have been saying all along that it wouldn't suprise me to see either team win either of those series.

Join the club, this is painful to watch.

What's worst is that one of our "assistant coach" this year on my team had the same philosophy so almost everyone on my team used the dump and chase. That's why I hate it so much.

Up to 3-5.

William Nylander had food poisoning the day of Game 1. Bad sushi for lunch. He was puking before puck drop.

I don't think any of us needed to know this

Oh wow lol. I mean. good on him for playing thru it

i donno, sushi right before a playoff game is kinda questionable.

may the 4th be with u everyone

Pleasant surprise today with the extended Kenobi trailer

Man. Only 8 games played so far but playoff hockey is soooo much better.

too many filler games in the regular season. i know it will never happen because there is too much money on the line but a shorter regular season would be good for hockey.

Not really, shorter season definitely would mean lower salary cap

Last day to join and lock in your picks! we have 21 members which is awesome!

wonder how that game goes re carolina boston, if raanta isnt godlike.. expecting a different outcome tonight.

I'm predicting Carolina in 6/7. I think Anderson comes back later on though right maybe game 4 r 5?

Made an Off-season thread so we don't talk off-season in the playoffs thread. Since 16 teams are now in the off-season anyway. (And the draft lottery is next week)

Off-season thread.

carolinas offensive depth is unreal. i think trochek was the perfect piece to that offense and subtracting dougie from the defense and adding a legit goalie tandem has helped loads. they are a solid team for a reason. just comes down to execution. i think bruins have the guys to counter but idk if its enough.

It’s pretty crazy to still think about it that if there’s one forward you’re picking for a “Best of One” game; that it still probably Sidney Crosby.

He was an absolute beast in every inch of ice last night.

did i miss the goalie interference convo on the rangers last night? chytil doesnt really make a move to try and score and ends up taking the goalie out of position and passing it off. i dont see how anyone could argue thats not textbook goalie interference. he changes direction into the goalie and doesnt make a legit move to try and score.

i hate crosby, but respect the hell out of the competitor that he is and how easy he makes it look.

Oh yeah I ain’t copping a Sid jersey anytime soon; but last night was an incredible showcase in 6 periods of why yeah we could say McDavid/ Matthews are the best players in the world - but somehow you ain’t going for them in a BO1.

What's the series you're the least interested in?

Personally, it's vs for me

I'd say Edm-LAK, i couldn't care less who wins and I'm not really cheering for any of them

In terms of play and entertainment value you're absolutely correct.

Bowness hockey is incredibly boring, and CGY has no reason to make it interesting as it'd likely lead to mistakes.

Biggest challenge for Stars in this series right now is not winning games but scoring one (1) goal. Because we weren't even close last night.

Vegas should be in playoffs instead of the preds imo. But they blew it lol.
