TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING ARE THE CHAMPS 2020-2022 THE NHL 2020-2021 SEASON THREAD (INCLUDING LIGHTNING HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

Pretty funny imo.

My useless Oilers didn't lose a single game against the Jets during the regular season so of course they're currently losing game 1 to them with 5 mins remaining

real shame what happened to the caps last night

90s hockey in a nutshell

On this day in 1997, Eric Lindros scored his first career playoff hat trick #Hockey365 #AnytimeAnywhere pic.twitter.com/eWY72SPED0

The game is better now

I hated Lindros so much for refusing to play for Quebec

Tavares--terrible.

Hope Tavares is ok.

Isles-Pens currently have 10 people in the penalty at the same time.

(Everyone on the ice got a penalty at the same time)

hockey is very crazy tonight

Great games happening at the same time

and also leafs-habs

amazing florida comeback

Did not expect that

That isles-pens 3rd period felt like a whole playoff series in of itself.

Never seen Montreal being less enthused by the playoffs than tonight.

this is a city that watches the playoffs together, not like in our living-rooms alone? spilling out of cafe olimpico onto the street etc. so the circumstances suck :(

oh no a short-handed game-winner, rip ontario

congrats to the leafs for not leafing

mcdavid better hats himself tomorrow

Good grief Oilers. You had a 4-1 lead with 8 and a half minutes to go...

today the Jets truly became canada's team

huge night tonight. pens/isles see who jumps ahead, and three teams on the absolute verge! (plus leafs-habs.) my nerves!

OMG that Bailey 2OT winner. Isles were basically bailed out by an amazing Sorokin performance, but what a game. Also, go Panthers! Barkov is so great.

ffs

huge respect to sorokin and the isles' D but damn as a pens fan i am crushed! i know it's not over but damn.

still can't believe edmonton got swept

welp.
fire bergevin, hire a young quebecois genius for their dream job.
fire ducharme, bring in joël bouchard,
give weber to seattle

well at least i didn't watch it

go jets

Wild making a series out of it instead of rolling over like I expected.

nine years into the dual parise/suter 13-year, $98m contracts and the wild have won two first-round series

not trying to rip on them; it's just disappointing. and tbf they kept running into the chicago buzzsaw in the first several seasons

ps i love the sweaters and the state and bill guerin but 'wild' is still a stupid team name

let's just... hold for a couple days about my whole fire everything everyone comment

<3

It has been noted that Jesperi Kotkaniemi, who wears #15, was playing in his 15th playoff game. He scored the winning goal at exactly 15:15 of overtime, ending his night with a time on ice of exactly 15:00. The winning goal in overtime was also the 15th total shot among the two teams.

Simulation must be glitching.

I don't watch enough hockey to know how routinely this happens, but I watched that overtime and Toronto demonstrably outplayed them; checked the shots on goal and it was 13-2 for the Leafs. Which is worth nothing, I know, but I hope that's a positive sign for G7.

more shots give more chances for weird deflections and rebound opportunities, but Price seems to stop what he can see. i think coming off an OT win gives that team some momentum for at least part of the first period of the next game. i need to find a way to watch this

I use sportsurge dot net

tyvm

you don't often see a nine-minute power play

predicting a leafs blowout tonight, but youneverknow

anyway it can't be as bad as game seven against the bruins in 2013, right?

would be pretty funny if joe thornton's veteran leadership resulted in teaching the kids how to blow multiple-game playoff leads tho

I think they might squeak by, but they’ll have their hands full with the Jets if they can’t get their Marner or Matthews going.

Avs look pretty intimidating so far.

yeah they look amazing. some beautiful goals last night

o shit

Lol, never change Toronto.

14 shots through two ffs

Two goals feel unsurmountable at the moment.

Exhausting

"lwafs blowout" in which direction? Like a leafblower?

Someone forgot to put 2 coincidental penalties on the board during NYI-BOS, and they wound up playing an extra minute of 4-on-4 hockey before play stopped/the officials realized it. I don't know how something that sloppy happens in a playoff game.
