Stanley Cup Playoffs

[cberkas]

Boston and Carolina with wins tonight to open the playoffs.

Can't wait for Bucci to be in studio only.

This year TNT gets the finals

NHL, 5x5 20 minute OTs are better than 3x3 for 5 minutes with a shootout.

Kings win in OT

Bad penalty to take in OT

Just on the shootout win fireworks alone @MafiaMan would vehemently disagree.

First period was all Wild but after that is was all Stars. Both goalies played out of their minds. Suter needs his ass kicked too

Was Suter that big of a jackass when we was with the Wild?  I don't remember him being that way, but I may have just had my Wild-colored glasses on back then.

Why no love for Suter?  Was it his cross check on Kaprizov?

The Wild got multiple breaks on no-calls in this game including a stick to the head (under the visor) and a couple trips.  Pretty good pace for the game; playoff hockey really ratchets it up a notch.

How tight is the pucker-factor in EDM after losing game one.
I swear I heard a group "Not again!" from the northwest.

Not really. He crossed checked Kaprizov in front of the Dallas net. It was completely unnecessary. Foligno had a talk with him. He’s becoming public enemy number 1

Dumba may play a similar role for Dallas fans with his hit on Pavelski.

It already has with Dumba. Boo birds were out in full force whenever he touched the puck after his hit on Pavelski

That is what it is becoming in the NHL, you touch our star like Dumba late hit on Pavelski and Foligno late hit on Robertson, and then there is retaliation.  All of those hits Kleven would have been suspended for in college.

[cberkas]

0.1 and you let in that soft backhand Toronto 

 

[farce poobah]

Dear Toronto, 

better be double-da## sure you are right if you challenge a goal during an opponent's major power play.  

Sincerely, everyone else.

PS Tampa says thanks for the 5x3.

Yeah, Wild fans wanted Suter’s head on a platter after smacking Kaprizov around.  Did they forget what happened earlier in the game?

And yes, the NCHC has advised the NHL to suspend Kleven for Suter’s cross check on Kaprizov.

Hughes with a PS goal for the Devils

[cberkas]

That was a nice goal by Tampa. 

[cberkas]

Seattle with their first ever playoff goal.

I like this matchup for Seattle.

He was targeting Kaprizov and one of the Wild should have rearranged Suter's face. It was dirty. He was like this when he was at Minnesota and wouldn't fight when he was challenged. He'd turtle and hide behind the refs.

So Minny knocks out one of Dallas’ players but the Stars can’t retaliate?

Seattle takes a 3-1 lead in Colorado.  15 minutes to go.   

Dave Hakstol is ecstatic. (on the inside maybe)
