My boys beat the Wild to make the playoffs. Let’s fucking go!!!
I hate the term "make the playoffs" This was the playoffs with the 1-4 seeds having a bye tournament.
I’ll be watching that Maple Leafs game, what a comeback in game 4 the other day.
Since the restart and how they’ve done the format, it’s been brilliant.
If the Leafs lose tonight, I’ll have a couple beers in celebration as I watch that fanbase burn itself to the ground. It’s called the Qualifying Round, not round one of the playoffs; if the Leafs lose, they’re in the draft lottery because they MISSED THE PLAYOFFS.
If the Leafs/Oilers/Jets win the lottery tomorrow night, I’ll have a couple beers in anger as those stupid fanbases add yet another topend piece to the puzzle. I’m fine with LaFreniere becoming the heir apparent in Pittsburgh; the rest of the qualifying round losers really could use a franchise player.
A series to determine who advances to the next round...sounds like a playoff to me.
Leafs also losing in the first round shows this truly was the playoffs.
I'm not surprised about the Leafs considering they've been lackluster all year. Way too top heavy with horrible defense and no toughness. Dubas should be on thin ice... his all speed and skill roster is not built for the playoffs. I can see him getting the boot if next year is another unsuccessful season.
Dubas has really been exposed as a green GM. Those 3 contracts, especially Marner's, were very very player-friendly lol. Not much left for defense and a gritty 4th line, which is invaluable for playoff hockey.
anyone excited for tonights Draft Part 2? Who will get Lafreniere. Can you imagine if Pittsburgh or Edmonton gets him? omg
Blues go from top team in conference to 4th seed.They need to get it together.
That's why one of the big four (Nylander) needs to go. Trade one of them and get a top 2 or 4 defenseman. It's clear that all this firepower can't accomplish anything in the playoffs.
Being unable to score an even strength goal despite all that money in the O is concerning too.
ugh THE RANGERS
At least of the options they're a team that's "deserving" of it. Imagine Pitt getting it.
YES THE RANGERS
You're totally right. Pretty sure pannarin is also a left wing but can you imagine the options they will have now with lafreniere? Imagine Zibanijad centering Lafreniere...jesus.
Oh man you got a beauty. Lafreniere was an absolute beast during Canada's run-up to win Junior gold this past Jan. The guy does it all - not only is he bigtime gifted offensively, but he HITS! Physicality to boot. He will rejuvenate that Ranger lineup. This is huge for your team.YES THE RANGERS
Good luck!Blues go from top team in conference to 4th seed.
Would love to steal a couple early games before your veteran team flips the switch; make this a competitive series, hopefully take you guys to 6-7.
That's just downright frightening. The future for the Rangers is surely looking bright. I wonder if Lafreniere is pleased though.. I'm sure he was hoping for Montreal, but that dream ended once they eliminated the Pens, haha.
5 OTs.
Jesus.
When would they go to a shootout? Or are those not a thing in the playoffs?
Not in the playoffs.
Let's go blues.
Blues need to get it together.
Yeah.
I'm wondering if maybe they should start Allen.
I think it might be Colorado's year to lift the cup.
I've got no horse in this race but I just love Torts and the forever underdog blue jackets. Would love to seem them eliminate the lightning again!
The Blues won a game.Still worried at this point.
Blackhawks so needed that, can they take game 5?
From what I’ve seen of yous so far is something’s just not clicking and I’m still waiting for that next gear.The Blues won a game.
You guys dominated game three, as expected. As a Canucks fan, I’d much prefer being up 3-1 than tied 2-2...The Blues won a game.
The Avs with a huge win with Kadri leading the way with 2 goals and a helper. Damn, Leafs could have used a guy like that against Columbus... oh wait
This is what I was scared of: the Blues are coming in waves, we’re making mistakes and punting on 3rd downs.
I know it’s a best-of-seven, but Wednesday sure feels like an elimination game to me...
They are coming alive. I will say that. Haven't been able to really watch much yet. Hoping to catch Wednesday.
I hate to say it but putting Allen in the net seemed to be the difference maker. Oh well, Binnington isn't going anywhere. It really sucks that Tarasenko and Steen are injured right now but at least we've tied up the series.
Flames/Stars game yesterday 3-0 up with 8 minutes gone, down 6-3 end of the 2nd.
Wow. It still hasn’t set in that the boys did that.
We’re going to need to replicate that performance versus Vegas: Markstrom steals games, our powerplay plays lights out. I think Vegas in 6, but we’re playing with house money and I’m going to try my best to enjoy this ride. Why not us?
Canucks?
These playoffs have been quality.
3 games all tied 3-3 in the semis. That Flyers/Islanders game was really good.
The fact that we even came back from 1-3 to force game 7 has me super pumped, that we absolutely stole games 5 and 6 with our goalie of the future has me ecstatic.
If we lose tonight, it will still have been an outstanding playoff run. If we win, I really like our chances against Dallas in the Western Conference Final. Dare I dream?
I've watched Demko play since he was 17. Awesome to see him playing so well the last two games, and the team having the success they are. I'm hoping they can win tonight and then beat Dallas. Don't care to see Dallas in the finals.
Fuck. That one hurts.
Least you gave them a series, unlucky.
Got into hockey only last season during the playoffs. That shit is incredible. But I don't yet have a favorite team. Anybody with a good sales pitch for a team to follow?
The original six is always good to look into. Montreal Canadians, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings & New York Rangers. Maybe not Boston haha, I’m a Rangers fan.
Where you from? What’s you’re other sports teams?
the Ny islanders are the cutest underdog team and the best hockey team in New York and their orange and blue are the best
Hell I like orange. The brighter the better. Blinding orange but will do some research.
They’re really not
And the Blues will play the Coyotes for the 7th straight game today...
Which one
Everything about the Islanders
I understand the NHL had to do what they had to do, but seeing the same teams play each other every night sure does get boring.
Islanders are a great team, but very defensive. The average or new viewer would most likely be turned off watching their games lol.
@Matthew would you like to talk about your hockey team? It's okay if you need to cry because I'm here for you.

how bout u fk off m8
A timeline:
-Four Canuck games (March 31, April 3/4/6) get postponed because two players and one coach were placed on the league’s COVID list.
-By April 4th, that list of Canuck positives had grown to 16 out of the 22 active players.
-Two more Canuck games (April 8 and 10) get postponed.
-On Friday, the league announced that Vancouver gets to play 19 games between April 16-May 16 to fulfill the entirety of the COVID-abbreviated 56 game season.
Fuck Gary Bettman.
18 years later, they technically made a part 4.RajahWWF: quack quack quack
fitchjr1: *goes to watch Mighty Ducks 1, 2, and 3*
fitchjr1: and to cry
RajahWWF: maybe they'll come out with a part 4 now
fitchjr1: i dunno, part 3 sucked
Critics agree.. Mighty Ducks 3 sucked
And I miss AIM convos and like not being old. *memories*
REEKS!!!!
Tom Wilson is a piece of shit.
Let's go Blues.
I’m starting to wonder if they just shouldn’t count Rangers/Caps tonight as a real game.
I need to laugh at this. The NHL punished the Rangers for releasing that statement the other day. Tom Wilson ended a guys season, got zero suspension and fined 5k. Rangers release a statement about it complaining and calling out the League office, and they get fined 250k.
Absolutely hilarious.
The Leafs well on their way to their now annual Round 1 playoff loss and/or collapse
If the Leafs join the Oilers on the golf course after round one, this shitty season as a Canucks fan will have totally been worth it.
Me, fixing myself a drink with a huge shiteating grin on my face, as I read about meathead Leafs Twitter who are ready to run Dubas/Keefe/Matthews/Marner out of town.
Fuck the Leafs.
Can't even blame it on losing Tavares to that unfortunate hit. It's just...the Leafs.
Even up 3-1 I knew this would be coming. Winning game 7 would be one of the most surprising things in sports to me.
Big money boys not producing once again! Can't handle or overcome adversity it seems.
There is no more cursed franchise than the Leafs. In any sport.
Perfect. Absolutely fucking perfect. It started with that beautiful knee from Corey Perry and I couldn't ask for a better ending.
Bye bye Grandpa Joe. Go win your Stanley Cup somewhere else.
As an Isles fan, I gotta just enjoy the sweet defeat of the Leafs, but....we’re also kinda getting our shit rocked by Boston so llolol.
It’s going to be a great Summer...
Leafs are an absolute disgrace of a hockey club. I've lost complete faith in this team. Spezza, playing 11 minutes a game has more goals than Marner and Matthews combined. Pathetic!
Considering the first goal last night wasn't from the Corey Perry goal that implies you're referring to the accidental knee injuring Tavares which is disgusting.
how do the leafs keep doing this
at least my team lets me down and lets me give up hope after 2 months.
Tavares wouldn't have made a difference if he was available either lol. Team is cursed
God damn is it nice to be an Islanders fan right now.
definitive, absolutely brutal win to close it out with the Bruins. The excuses just keep rolling in, Boston fans are saaaaalty
I’m sad
Are you a Bruins fan, Caito? I had in my mind that you were a Rangers fan.
All Boston sports
My condolensces.
Isles stay alive with a beautiful save by Pulock and holy shit this series is great.
I think TB beats us in the next 2, but man this has been fun
A little quiet today aren't you Hero?
ITS A NEW DAY KANGUS YES IT IS
Listen, I wish you all of the luck in the world. I hope you win. That is a frightening team you're up against.
I’m hoping that crowd giving them all the energy motivates the Islanders to actually shoot some pucks towards the net tonight.
Last game in Nassau
LFGI!!
WHAT THE FUCUUUUUUUUUCKCKCKCKC
NERVES
hockey sucks
Hockey sucks because the whole fucking industry seems complicit in sweeping this Blackhawks story under the rug. Fucking embarrassing…
For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, here is the bombshell Jenner & Block Blackhawks report relased earlier this month. Quite a week with the resignations and Kyle Beach coming forth as John Doe.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...IXXczIeFm_UFxz
I hate that Kyle Beach felt the need to come forward publicly after essentially being outed in the report. The TSN interview was heartbreaking, especially when he apologized to the Michigan teenaged victim as though he actually was at fault for it.
Watching these hockey insiders try to postgame this horror, as though they weren’t complicit in turning a blind eye, was infuriating.
It probably means shit-all in the grand scheme of things, but Kyle Beach is about to get paid…

The hockey world: “What have we learned? How can we do better?”
Rocky Wirtz: “Fuck you.”
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=did_LuSMJ2g
The culture that allowed the coverup of a sexual predator to exist is alive and well in the Black Hawks organization.
Sadly, it was obvious to anyone with a pulse that a question on the topic would inevitably come up at a Black Hawks Town Hall event.
Wirtz is about to get the Donald Sterling treatment. The $2 million fine that the NHL hit the organization clearly wasn't enough. Public Shaming is the next step, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't transfer ownership of the team to his son.
The way the other three just sat on their hands and let the old fucker rant at length showed that the bully culture is still alive and well in that shitty organization.
Rocky needs to go, like yesterday.
Especially when his son tried to actually answer the question that was directed to him about what steps they have taken going forward, and his dad cut him off. Ya don't work here, it's Nunya Bidness.
The carefully crafted apology that Rocky issued was clearly written by someone else - it's quite obvious that Rocky doesn't talk that way.
The Bruins and Leafs go down in game sevens on the same day. In the first round. Can the Oilers make it a trifecta?
Such an amazing day so far…
