Ah if you're talking about the Canes Isles game that was a great win for me hahaha
And you gotta respect how pretty the pass and goal in OT was, that's just good hockey

And yes that the Pens aren't in it. I knew this was coming for them once Rutherford became the GM, used to be the GM in Raleigh. He trades all prospects and draft picks for players now, get ready for 10 years of no playoffs.

Yes great goal but still I’m not going to say happy for y’all screw that! As far as the Pens they’ve had such great teams and cup winners they won’t be putting up with mediocre for too long, now it’s back to Long Island but I’m not feeling confident at all that they can force a game 5 back in NC

I'm a Pens fan, girlfriend's a Bruins fan, but we both cheer for the Jerks too.  We live in Virginia, so it's a lot easier and cheaper to go to Raleigh than DC.  Love Staal, Aho, and Brind'Amour. Hope the playoffs go well for you all.

Rutherford may have depleted our future, I'm not sure, but at the same time, winning a couple Cups is probably worth a playoff drought.  I do think the Pens make it back in next year, and will get swept by a NY/NJ team most likely.

I live in Richmond, but lived in Tampa for a long time.  We also go to Raleigh for games rather than DC.  It's an hour further, but everything is better (other than the Chinese food around the Cap One center).

Tampa is giving it to Toronto, again.  I know it's early, but I thought this might be the year that (1)Toronto doesn't fall apart, and (2) TB gets exhausted from years of deep runs.  Doesn't seem to be the case.  The Bolts are such a machine, it's impressive.  

I'd also much rather hang out with Canes fans than those that rock the red.

Yeah but both Hedman and Cernik were hurt in game 1, and they are d1 and d2. The loss of McDonough really hurt this year.  You really need your forwards back checking during the playoffs,  so that will be key to getting through Toronto.  

But Toronto is such a media pressure cooker, they really are playing tight.  We'll see.  Tonight might be considered their season.

Rangers deadline moves seem to be a success.  Great start.  I think they are very dangerous.

Yea they bought em last minute, team was down 2-0… I know average fan won’t admit, but the prices for sec 118 lowers indicate a lil pessimistic … got em for $120/ea…. Saw uppers earlier for close to $200

Sunday game now naturally higher…..” we can do it” as Rob Schneider famously says

if they are reasonable prior… I may go

always good to text people between periods and meet up for a quick drink

was tight game til the end when isles set a record for fastest 4 goals in nhl playoff history to finish

gotta cut down on the slop 1st 2 periods… lot pucks over sticks while trying to control puck

it was fun night

Yeah plus going on 0-20 on power play going back to the end of regular season will never get you good results! Last night was insane those last 4 minutes!

CHOKE!

I didn't think the Leafs were able to come back like that; see if they can close it out.
