OT: NHL Playoffs

[king_kong_]

This is a great time of year with all the hockey/hoops stuff

I try to watch as much NBA playoffs as I can but always seem to have hockey on instead

Insanely entertaining product, tough MF’ers out on the ice

 

[Dylman]

Absolutely! Hockey is definitely my second favorite sport! Rooting for anyone in particular?

I live in CO, so I suppose the Avs

but I really don't care who wins it all & I watch as much of all the series as I can

several absolute beauties in Rd 1 - TORvBOS, Vegas v Dallas, the FL teams & more

 

[TampaBaySkers]

I think panthers win the whole thing !

nothing like baseball and hockey playoffs - any team can get hot and win it

NFL sometimes has the last seed in their respective conference make the Super Bowl but not often that they win it all

NBA playoffs basically never has early round upsets

Playoff hockey is incredible.
A good series is as good as it gets in all things sports.

Love playoff and live hockey. Big Blackhawks fan, but have adopted the Canes as my new team since I live here. The games at PNC are fun as hell and it's nice enough here to tailgate even during the winter, so that is a plus.

I would like to see Toronto make a deep playoff run, but I'm afraid the city is in for another letdown.

There's a reason they call the team the Make Beliefs.

I have some friends that are season ticket holders and they have such a love hate. He actually quit drinking because he was getting too hammered because of how much they always suck in the playoffs.

I think I posted last year that I ran into the Panthers in a hotel lobby in Toronto during the playoffs. Looked like a great bunch of guys to have on your side in a bar fight! That's the full extent of my hockey knowledge.

Alright. How many bar fights have you been in?

None directly. You?

Well the Make Beliefs force a Game 7 in Boston. Hope they can pull it off, but I suspect this will just result in soul-crushing series loss for Toronto fans.

As is tradition

I'm a Bruins fan. So frustrating. I do love breaking the hearts of Leafs fans each year. It's tradition, as kong just said.

 

[HominidHusker]

Winning 2 games without Matthews was pretty shocking to me.

Game 7 playoff hockey is great.

 

[Bugeater]

Boston fans have a bad feeling in their gut tonight!

It’s not good. I feel like the leafs owe us one…hope they don’t get it tonight!

 

[shine003]

😂

 

[bigboxes]

There has to be a cam on that winning goal. Samsonov had to be going fuuuuuuuu as Pasta made that move!

GO BRUINS

 

[HominidHusker]

Epic Game 7 - OT finish

I've only been to one NHL game in my life, an exhibition in about 1972 in Oklahoma City between the Blackhawks and the Bruins. Icons like Stan Makita and Bobby Orr. I could not believe (and this was about 50 years ago), the pace and speed of the game!! And man, could those dudes skate. Could not have been more impressed with the skill level in so many aspects of that sport.

I’ve played hockey recreationally for 35 years.
It’s still difficult for my brain to fathom the level of multi-faceted skill and coordination the pros execute.
They also grind through an impressively long season for a intensely fast and physical sport.

What’s great about the highest level of pro sport is displaying what the human body is capable of after years of dedicated training.
