Last nights game was a dud. Avs win 4-0, up in series 2-0

It was kind of disgusting watching Edmonton go the cheap shot route in the 3rd. Everything wrong with hockey. Hope the Av's kick their butts the rest of the way.

other than the top line, edmonton cant hang with the avs.  so they try to beat them up and take them out of their game.

that's the charitable version.  it may well have been the oilers getting frustrated that they couldnt hang.

It’s easier to stomach if you don’t look at the faces and instead imagine that one of the guys in the Avs jersey is Mike Keene.

Didn’t see last nights game, just caught the score. Is Tampa finally running out of gas after eight straight series wins over three post-seasons?

Kane should be suspended for cumulative punkness at this point.

[gehringer_2]

LOL - nothing more dangerous than the last minute of the period. Tampa not dead yet.

He’s been suspended for the rest of the Oilers season.  1 game.

I really hate Colorado.  And I don’t want the Rangers to win it with our #1 overall pick, so it’s Tampa or bust for me.

If TB wins you'd have to go back to the Islanders in the early 80's for a 3 peat.

 

[sagnam]

F you Rangers!  I hope this is as far as you get for Lafreniere’s entire career.

[gehringer_2]

So much for the Rangers. Tampa gets their shot at the 3-peat. Avalanche have looked better though.

Rangers tie it up late only for the Lightning to respond with the eventual game winner like 20 seconds later.  I'm sure Rangers fans will be bitching about that go ahead goal being interference for the whole offseason.

3D rendering of the Cup that allows you to zoom in on the rings. 

I notice the Ilitch family has like 9 people listed.

Not sure there was actually a trip to give Colorado that 5 on 3.  Huge call that likely decided this game.

[lordstanley]

Weird cheering for the Avs, given their '90s history with the Wings, but indeed I am.

[sagnam]

I can’t do it.  I have no reason to dislike Tampa Bay besides their success.  Colorado’s GM alone is a reason to dislike them.

[buddha]

come on bolts!

[sagnam]

Ok, well I didn’t think TB would be able to score 2 goals in less than a minute so maybe that call didn’t decide the game.

 

Also, ESPN+ has an elevated view called Ice Cast and it’s awesome.

[lordstanley]

Can never sleep on the Bolts.
