    Game one was very good.  I have no pony in this race but love seeing 7 goals. Can someone explain why there are three days between games?  NBA finals?
    Wanted game on Saturday night.  NBA would be Sunday night if Game 7 is necessary.  Not a fan of the extra day but don't mind the Saturday night instead of Friday night game.  

    There must be a stat that says ratings are better on Saturday nights. 
    Yes, Friday nights are notoriously bad for sports and TV ratings.

    I fell asleep during the OT.  Got to see the 2nd and 3rd goal by Tampa though.

    These two teams will be duking it out for the whole run maybe?

    This should be an entertaining series.

    Don't stick a fork in them yet...

    Avs are a sick team though.  Their pressure is relentless.  I think they are at the beginning of a dynasty.  I'm not sure what their cap situation is, but if they somehow got an elite goal tender, they would be unstoppable.

    Love the high scoring games.  Great fun to watch.

    Last night’s game was fun to watch.  It was clear later in the game and in OT that the Avalanche had the advantage.  
    I hope the Avalanche clinch tomorrow so the team can skate the Stanley Cup in front of their own fans.

    And yet, Game 5 is on a Friday night. I don't know why you'd have a long break between two home games and potentially put Game 2 up against Game 7, and then have a short break between games 4 and 5 with the teams travelling from Tampa to Denver and have them play a potential Cup-clinching game on a Friday, when Saturday is available. Of course, I also don't know why you'd schedule a highlight show featuring Steve Levy and Barry Melrose. It's like ESPN got hockey back, and then said, "Yeah, but do we really want people to watch it?" Maybe it's spite over the NHL rejecting their offer of <nothing> in favor of <anything> from the Outdoor Life Network (Vs/NBCSN).

    I am going to bet on the Avalanche to win tonight.  That way we will get at least one more game to watch.  ;)

    Come on Avs!! As an Anaheim Duck fan I'd love to see Cogliano finally get a Cup. And Josh Manson

    Hey what about Corey Perry? You should be rooting for him!
  • mrussel1mrussel1 Posts: 29,641
    Nice reply by the lightning.  The series is close even if it feels like the Avs always have the momentum.  I think that's just the clash of styles.  I'm really proud of how hard the Lightning fight,  even with how beat up they are.  They are playing like champions no matter the end result

    Well he's now lost three cups in a row.  By contrast, Maroon just had his three straight cup streak broken.

    Nice job Avs!
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    Strong trade by the Kings, getting a 25 year old coming off a point per game season.  
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Wild left themselves no choice after the Parise and Suter contracts and then buyouts

    I'm not too excited for the new season. Mainly cause the Flyers are gonna suck this year. Only team that will have a worse record than them is probably Seattle. :neutral:

    What is the NHL package for those without cable or dish?  Is it thru ESPN+ this year?

    NHL doesn't make it very clear.  Will I have access to all NHL games for $10/month on ESPN+?

    Last year I had the package (probably was renewed this year but haven't checked) and it gave you access to the broadcasts UNLESS they were on national or ESPN+ only.  For the Lightning, that happened a handful of time.  I don't have Plus so I got locked out of probably 5 games during the year.
