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

i don't need luck. this is why i don't do that weird shit in the woods

sorry, typo

this is why i do that weird shit in the woods

gaaaaaaaahd my heaaaart

ouch

Tell Alonzo that he has gotten his retribution and then some! Uncle

Alonso

that's a hard way to lose but honestly pushing it to six games earns everyone more props than the flames managed

(flames did get jobbed but that's another story)

man blues had some chances too

how many points for mcdavid next round? over/under 15?

Hell of a cameo at the end

Here’s the worldwide, clean, Digital debut of @espn’s @E60 masterpiece, “Unrivaled.” @Avalanche/@DetroitRedWings was the @ufc on ice. The fiercest rivalry in hockey history like you’ve never seen before. This trailer is so powerful it made my eyes wet by the last 20 seconds. pic.twitter.com/lferqwOmG0

Guess I am going to have root for the Bolts again. Aargh.

rangers will finally get to take on a number-one goalie

well

this is CRAZY.

not surprised

just great end to end. nice saves (mostly) by the backups. was thinking, once it got to a 3 goal avs lead, of heading elsewhere, but it's too exciting and i want spoilers to win

fair
xp

this is good hockey

wake the fuck up, tampa

I hope this edm/col turns into a series. Really don't want it to end.
So much raw talent
And rly dgaf abt the Eastern teams at this point

i love it/them/him but there's no way this series goes back to edmonton

might not even go back to denver

yikes

rip

that was a bit of a shame. has there been a 2x overtime this year? woulda been a consolation if that game had gone on longer. not really invested anymore, but will watch and root for Col in finals.

i think there was a 2x ot in the first round? was really hoping oilers could make a series of it and really felt mike smith's anguish at that one. ultimately think that the avs are in best position to defeat whoever wins in the east and that's what i want at this point. like a lot.

mckinnon and crosby are buds who work out together in the offseason, so my wife and i like to joke that after each round there's a phone call.

"yo sid, nate. gonna be a little late again for our workout!"

Mike smith plays small

i think there was a 2x ot in the first round?

i'm a bad pens fan! first game, round 1. pens won in 3OT! seems like 3 years ago.

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

and god knows it would be unfair to note that the avs fucking slashed his ankle every chance they got

classic trouba; such a shame the rangers are choking away a 2-0 lead

Swing... And a miss. 🤷 #StanleyCup | #GoBolts pic.twitter.com/obEPhat2jl
