2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs!

HOLY F**K THAT WAS A NAILBITER!! I thought for sure that goal was going to get overturned until they showed that front-angle where the puck is clearly sitting behind the line. Then I thought for sure the officials would find some bonehead reason to overturn it anyway.

NOPE - HAT TRICK OSHIE, GO CAPS!!!

Well, I only saw fragments of those games, but they looked exciting.
(I was sitting by my wife in the hospital. She donated a kidney. "Sorry Dear, I know you just got a cut in your belly to save someone else. But do you really mind if I go to a bar to watch the game?" She's improving, so is he.)

and a big save by mrs. Sand!!! (I had it in all-caps)

 

[JohnSand]

Nicely put Blizz, thank you.

 

[GrogNerd]

sadly, it's not just Flyers' fans

while it is true the sexual orientation of Pens' fans is questionable, yelling it on the street in a drunken, obnoxious manner is not an acceptable way to mock them for it

 

[Kevin79]

The momentum has shifted and we are bringing it home. Let's go Pens!

 

[jcaggiano]

Looks like we'll have a challenge with the Pens. If we get past them we'll do fine.

C-A-P-S, CAPS,CAPS,CAPS!!!

 

[JohnSand]

I expected a great series, and we're getting it. I don't have a dog in that fight, but the Caps do not look inevitable. Flyers took them to six, and they're split with the Pens. Maybe it's something about Pennsylvania?
Meanwhile, Isles split with the Lightning in Tampa too. Next game in Brooklyn.

 

[dsaavedra]

I think whoever wins this series is going to be taking home the Cup

 

[JohnSand]

I think that's likely too. One of the announcers called it "the hottest team in hockey vs the team with the best record in hockey".
I hope it goes 7.
But I'm still rooting for the Islanders.

 

[arturo7]

I hope Fleury has a comfortable spot on that bench. It doesn't look like he's coming off of it anytime soon.

 

[Qhrumphf]

No kidding. Murray has been on fire. Performing as well or better than Hotlby has at his best this season, in my estimation at least. Someone needs to put him out with a big hose.

 

[cannman]

As I watch Jones on SJ, all I keep seeing is the 2012 Jonathan Quick...

 

[SeraW]

Blues were hungry at home tonight...wowzers!

 

[arturo7]

I think Rousell is secretly on the Blues payroll. He's taken 4 stupid penalties and the Blues have scored on 2 of them.

 

[JohnSand]

Another wild OT game.
Pittsburgh looks likely to get to the finals.

 

[cannman]

Pittsburgh and San Jose or St. Louis?

 

[JohnSand]

I haven't been watching the West. Life and the East keep me busy. What do you think?

 

[blizz81]

Pittsburgh and San Jose or St. Louis?

This is tough. We've got two playoff choke artists here. Maybe the Stanley Cup gets awarded by forfeit due to neither team being able to win the WCF.

 

[Homercidal]

Pittsburgh and San Jose or St. Louis?

The only thing for sure is that Pittsburg can suck it.

 

[GrogNerd]

The only thing for sure is that Pittsburg can suck it.

pretty much how I feel about all sports teams from Pennsylvania

except the Hershey Bears

 

[JohnSand]

I'm still rooting for the Islanders. But the Pens have been scary for weeks.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Is it safe to come out yet? Are they gone?

Stats are stats. We've come from behind before. I hope so. I really hoped that this year was going to be different. That the teams I love so dearly wouldn't get right to the brink of glory and then blow it royally. And here I am eating a hell of a lot of foot.

Still a chance. Let's Go Caps!

 

[JohnSand]

You gotta believe!

 

[SeraW]

Hard fought game ends in a gut punch for Blues' fans...off to the next one.

(I had just poured a hefeweizen when the Stars scored the OT goal...)

 

[dsaavedra]

Caps broke my heart on Wednesday, I sooooooooo hope they don't do it again on Saturday. But I can't help but think they will.....

 

[cannman]

@dsaavedra

If the Caps don't win the series, Dean Lombardi was right.

 

[JohnSand]

OT again. At least it isn't dull.

 

[passedpawn]

OT again. At least it isn't dull.

Pretty short OT. Thank god.

 

[JohnSand]

Because you had to get up in the morning?
Lightning have a big lead. Isles have come back before, but it would be tough.
