They'll pick 11th if neither scenario happens

*or Wild. If the Jets or Wild win the Lottery tomorrow, the Rangers pick 10th.

post-game press conference is typical Torts.

"shit happens" (when asked about the lost 3 goal lead) and Foudy "that kid has balls"

lol.

6th overtime period?

both teams are exhausted. Losing goalie will have made at least 54 saves tonight

Yeah, we get it.

has been amazing

....

Plus I had a brainfart when I made my thread

Could end up being longest game in NHL history if nobody wins it soon. They already had to postpone Boston-Carolina for tomorrow

Capitals 4 OT playoff game in 1996

I lived in DC at the time and one of my buddies was one of the few die hard Caps fans and wanted to go.

It went on so long I was hung over already by the time it ended because they stopped selling beer like 3 hours before the end

Lemieux ejected out early after beating the snot out of Todd Krygier.

Peter Nedved won it. A lot of talent on that ice that game - mostly on the Pens.

Lemieux, Jagr, Francis, Nedved, Zubov, Bondra, Gonchar, Hunter, Juneau.

this is brutal for the players, but so awesome.

2020 playoffs in 2020 fashion start with an instant classic.

I stayed up late to watch it in the hopes of seeing the Penguins go down and not only did they win but Nedved, who I despised, won it.

So Atkinson would get a penalty shot

But what a snipe by Point

i wanted to see history. if it was an isles game i would've had a heart attack

If I were Korpisalo I'd murder my whole team.

I don't know if anyone's watching the post-game interviews, but these questions are dog shit.

The commentary for the 5OT game was dog shit. They were whining about the games being too long, saying there should be shootouts and explaining to us how the players might be tired.

Excellent observations.

how close we were to offsides?

seth can you tell us what you drink to stay hydrated during a game like that?

2 games go to OT

I hope the Isles game isn't pushed back too much

Tampa Columbus?

Headed to 2nd OT

Bruins start with a little left on the PP

*

.

dirtbags especially 43

happy to still be 0-0

3-2 Isles.

For the good guys.

4-2 isles

1 down 3 to go

Dominated 5v5 but stay out the box.

Caps totally collapsed in 3rd. Swiss cheese in their own end and lazy giveaways. They'll be tighter Friday.

Coyotes didn't belong on the ice with them.

He won't be able to coach Montreal for the remainder of the series.

What's the deal with Max Domi? Why is he playing on their 4th line? The kid is removed from a 70 point year. Is it a similar situation to Galchenyuk?



I wonder if there's a deal to be made with the Rangers. If Montreal is devaluing Domi, Rangers could try to trade for him and use him as their 2C.

Totally clowned Shattenkirk.
CBJ wins 3-1 to even series.

Domi missed all the preparation and practices. He was not going to play due to his health issues (diabetes - like Kakko). He's not a 4th liner. Julien says it's to create balanced lines, but that's lip service. He wants to stay with the lines who practiced together.

Maybe with Julien out Muller will move Domi and Kotkaniemi up in the lineup.

(unfit to play) no problem so far.

Krejci with a PP goal (on a soft call IMO) has the B's up 1-0

from the Canes turns the momentum.
2 - 1 Canes. 3 left in the second.

just skated over teurovanian's skates and somehow drew a penalty. Edwards and Brick thought it should be a major because Krug was hurt. WTF LOL.

If Brind'amour thought the NHL was a joke after last game he's got to be going insane right now.

the Bruins score on the phantom PP with 3 seconds left in the period.

goal waived off for goalie interference (?)

is going the Canes way so far.

What doesn't make sense is if McCauley waives off the goal (and he did so before it went in) it would have to be a penalty, no?

Isn't goalie interference a penalty?

Hamilton with a blast to put CAR up 3 - 2.

Again.

12 min left in the 3rd.

Brutal power play.

What do you think of the Hurricanes goalie strategy? I think it’s a bit weird.

CAR looks like they just flat ran into a wall and have zero energy. I don't think much of Mrazek (compared with Reimer), but yeah, no idea what Brind'amour is doing with his goalies.

so far as CAR evens it up with BOS.

Actually, most are really good series so far.
