8 ARMS TO HOLD THE STANLEY CUP THE NHL 2021-2022 SEASON THREAD (INCLUDING LIGHTNING HANGOVER AND KRACKEN SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

it's 2-2-1-1-1 but i salute your commitment

shit

whatever, double-down. i bet 40 doubloons

not going to be easy w/no biddington

wait, what??

umm....you get a 5-minute grace period on doubling down, right?

*reaches for doubloons*

god, i really let down the blues tonight. i knew they'd lose, but i didn't mean to hurt the kid

vasilevskiy has allowed three goals on 105 shots vs florida

tip your cap, he’s been incredible in clutch situations

Wearing the dark blues instead of something orange in the Battle of Alberta should be illegal and people should go to jail.

That last goal by Kane for the hat trick was a beaut

Still a little weird to cheer for him after that fake covid card nonsense, and all the other legal issues.

I’m def not cheering for him at all. Or the oilers in this series.

My god that dude is something

he giveth and he taketh away -- i think he had the primary assist on one of edmonton's breakaway goals in game two and he's certainly shutting down calgary's dump-and-chase game -- but it's an adventure every time mike smith leaves the crease and i'm not sure i could emotionally handle it if he were my team's goalie

lol the panthers are going to wind up with 60 shots and no goals

I need to rewatch tape of that blue jackets series sweep to remind myself Tampa can actually lose and give up goals

COME ON

panthers just cursed themselves by winning the president’s trophy

enjoy the banner tho

it would be one thing if they'd never been in the playoffs before -- i vividly remember the senators absolutely manhandling the penguins in crosby/malkin/letang's first berth in 2007, from which they learned a lesson

but they got smoked by tampa last year and they were not very impressive against the caps last round. bobrovsky is obviously not vasilevskiy but he'd have been plenty good enough if the high-scoring offense hadn't shit the bed. tampa is good, but three goals in four games?

It’s a shame.

Listening to the Avs radio broadcast can be fun since they are such blatant homers. They were just screaming “What’s your malfunction, David Perron?!” after his cross check on Makar.

Also enjoy the sheer goofiness of having one of your goal calls being “[goal scorer] is drinking from a fountain that’s pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain!”

oh no

blues outshot 15-3 but up 1-0 after one

good luck with that

Alexa play “Accuracy” by The Cure

I will tune in after I take care of business with the blue jays

look at what you did KM

This is the blue jays fault. The blue jays have betrayed the blues. Should have seen this coming

you got your walk off grand slam though

It was the yin to the Alonso yang

oilers honestly looking like they're having so much fun

omg that flames goal was shot from about 150 feet from the net

oopsie

I guess they can laugh about it now. It was a pretty funky bounce.

okay i didn't watch this blues-avs game but that is fuckin awesome

i mean they have no chance at all, but i love it . . . unless?

hat trick goal, should have been the series winner...

kinda feels like this could be a leafs-habs repeat

that is fantastic

but yet i'm also restraining myself from suggesting that makar or mcdavid could've done it better

fuck's sake boys

hate in-game coach interviews but it is amusing seeing reporters try to get three words out of darryl sutter

The fuck is this game lol

wtf

lol 4 goals in 71 seconds

fastest four in playoff history

sutter must *hate* this

bad call imo

good call imo

pretty remarkable game/series by draisaitl, who is clearly having trouble moving

this is v. gutsy and everything but what the hell was the flames medical staff doing when it cleared him to play

What a gutsy performance by Chris Tanev who played with a torn laberum, separated shoulder and had a sprained neck.

Surgery next week.

at the end of the first period, i may be beginning to believe in miracles

you will need it

ayoooooooo! what a game! this is some blues devils magic, outshot 20-9, winning 2-1 so far
