4_kidd_4 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 (edited) First off, Go Habs Go & Blow Leafs Blow. Ok now that we got that out of the way, great game 1 last night, the old school hockey purist in me hasn’t been that excited about a game in a long time. Besides their first playoff matchup in 42 years, I do love playoff hockey. Can’t really be bothered w regular season, but when the playoffs start the game totally changes. More hitting, more grinding, more line shuffling and less whistles. Should be a good series, Price looked pretty good coming back off injury. Would love to see the Leafs on the golf course after round one Edited June 5, 2021 by 4_kidd_4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Bill Hewitt, Danny Gallivan, Dick Irvin Jr., Dave Hodge, Howie Meeker or Brian McFarlane still on the HNIC broadcast? Greatest broadcast bunch ever in hockey history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatest broadcast bunch ever in hockey history. Bob Cole, Harry Neale & Dick Irvin were my fave lineup. And unfortunately CBC let the original HNIC theme song go, they didn’t want to pay up a few years back I guess. Too bad, it’s a classic!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad, it’s a classic!! There was a dispute between CBC and the widow of the guy who wrote the song, so she pulled the rights from CBC and agreed to a deal with TSN. It's still there, just we in the US can't hear it on a weekly basis. Speaking of TSN, they did a slight rework of it for the 2010 end of regular season and playoffs. Some guy named Peart played drums on it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 It doesn't matter, this season's a fraud just like a lot of other NHL seasons. Bush League coupled with a pandemic... So many seasons need an asterisk. This one's top of list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 This series hasn't been nearly as interesting as I thought it would be. I'm pulling for Montreal, as I simply can't cheer for TO under any circumstances. There used to be a time when I couldn't cheer for Montreal under any circumstances (LOL) but those days are long gone. They (and the Sabres) have been bad enough for long enough that my hatred of the team has faded. The series to watch tonight (and the gem of the playoffs so far) is FL vs. TB. I'm hoping FL can get another win tonight and push the series to another game; every one of them have been pretty great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's has to suck for the teams in Canada to play in empty arena's when the US teams can have fans. The atmosphere at Nassau, Nashville, and Carolina has been excellent.

May Day 10 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 I have never been so detached from NHL hockey in my life (well, at least when I was maybe 7 in 1985). I just have zero care. Havent watched a full game in over a year, and even then it was fading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little disappointing for sure. Montreal is 0 for the series on the PP. Blech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Well the series certainly got way more interesting! Good to see fans in the barn last night too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Crazy! What a series. Cant believe it’s going to game 7 after the leafs were up 8n the series 3 games to 1. They have to get it done on Monday or I have to believe there will be changes to the core (unless the write it off as the team just missing Tavares). 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 If Toronto wins, do they ask to play the next round in Buffalo? It will be against a US opponent and they won’t be able to quarantine for 14 days between games. Will have to find somewhere in the states to play.

The league has already made plans for the winner of the Canadian division to play home games in a US city if the border is still closed. They won’t say what cities, but they will consider the opponent so travel isn’t too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we can debate the merits of “home ice advantage”. But you can bet if Toronto/Montreal lost the series it would come up. Unless, of course, your implying they just don’t allow fans into the building when Montreal/Toronto would be the “home” team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
