Oh and it would be great if we could win the opening faceoff on the PP. We should've traded for Giroux just to take faceoffs


I stand by this statement. Still can't win a faceoff

I really love that that goal involved three players we needed to see more from if we're going to win this series (Point, Killorn, Hagel).

Cal Foote appreciation sentence.

Foote's hustle on that icing with Engval right on his tail is the effort I love to see.

WHAT. A. GAME!!!!

I was literally sweating at one point in OT. Leafs were absolutely dominating, Kerfoot and Mikheyev had glorious chances to end the series, but Vasi was otherworldly after the 2nd, the main reason why the Lightning were finally able to get the game-winner/Game-7-forcer past Campbell off a great rush by Hagel (who I feel so good for, BTW-imagine if they'd lost, he would've had that empty-net miss replaying in his mind for the rest of the summer), good shot by Killorn and Pointer FINALLY gets rewarded for his quietly strong play in this series, pokes in the rebound under the pad and off to a Game 7 we go. #LET'SGOLIGHTNING

BTW, I was wondering what Marner was complaining about after Kucherov tied it on the 5-on-3-as Elliotte Friedman explains, Point's chinstrap came undone, and Marner thought that that meant Point should've been forced to go to the bench-but as Friedman explains (as the refs did to Marner and Spezza), it's not the same thing as a helmet, you're allowed to stay on the ice, and thus Point was allowed to keep playing.

Minnesota is going to be huge. They're going to be playing up the underdog factor the entire post season despite being an absolute beast of a lineup. 7 games deep of the best cup final we've seen in years.

Lightning over Wild in 6. (I could see the Avs making it over the Wild should Kuemper prove to be solid in net, but his late-season struggles have made me lose some of my confidence.)


Quoting: CoopsTroops
Conference Finals:
Tampa
Rangers

Minnesota
Calgary

And of course give me the 3peat.
Might flip to a Tampa vs. Calgary rematch.


And of course the Wild lose in the 1st round rolling eyes
