T&C Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 Living just outside of Tampa I want these mofo's to go down in the first round so... go Leafs. Kind of think that the Panthers will win the cup but that is awhile away, I was really hoping Tampa had gotten paired up with them for the 1st series but it didn't happen... it was close though.

T&C Posted May 3, 2022 Author Posted May 3, 2022 Haven't seen this many penalties called in the 1/2 of a playoff game ever... everybody is on a power play. Tpa-Tor game. Leafs up 2-0!! Quote
Mike in Horseheads Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 I have Tampa in a pool so hope tonight was the usual Leafs mirage Quote

If you heard the two words Champa Bay as much as I do you'd be rooting against the Bucs/Lightning too... sports radio here is basically unlistenable, its nauseating. Never got the hate for the Leafs, I must have missed the memo. Anyone care to explain, I really don't know why. Pulling for the Rangers and the Panthers tonight. Quote
snafu Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 Rangers just had what I think was a good likely game winner called off. The call was goalie interference on a great play by Kakko. 1 Quote

But, here we are heading into ot. 1 Quote

He was cutting to the top of the crease and the defenseman slammed into his back. He never took a straight line to the goalie. Then his play while falling to the ice was a great effort.

His right leg went through the middle of the crease and dragged the goalie out of position before the the Dman crashed into his own goalie. Quote

And his leg wouldn’t have been there if the D-man didn’t hit him from behind. Quote

I and the NHL disagree with that statement. EDIT: The last replay I watched it looks like the Dman rides Kakko lower in the crease. Its tough because the D can't just let the guy cut in even though hes a half step behind and the attacker has a right to go to the net. I know I hate seeing goals scored due to someone taking the goalie out of the net and you dont want to incentivize players cutting too close to the crease. Its never going to be a perfect or even good system. Edited May 4, 2022 by Jauronimo 1 Quote
T&C Posted May 4, 2022 Author Posted May 4, 2022 Well *****... looks like they are playing all night, 100+ minutes at least. The bars are going to love this one outcome or another lol. Quote
Simon Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 And DeSmith has left the ice in the middle of the 2nd OT (looked like cramps) and the Pens #3 'tender Louis Domingue has stepped on for only his 4th NHL appearance since 2019 and made 14 saves in 10 minutes, a couple of them spectacular. Quote

Can't remember the last time I saw one go this long but its probably in the best interest of either team to get it done with 8 minutes, these guys are gassed. Quote

Disclaimer: I am a penguins fan. that was an epic game. Those guys have to be spent. For the rangers to lose too, you wonder if it will leave a bad psychological mark for the rest of this series.

I thought it was funny that Geno got the game-winner after having played one of the worst games I've ever seen him stumble through. 1 Quote
BillsPride12 Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 That was a hell of a game. I caught the first two OT periods last night but couldn't make it past then but then I was able to catch the 3rd OT on replay this morning. Love NHL Playoffs! Quote

Agree. I was fully expecting him to take a bad penalty at some point, causing them to lose. He has a knack for that, especially in games where he struggles. Quote
Greg S Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 As an Isles fan I feel so bad that the Rangers lost NOT!!!. Got to give it up for Shesterkin. He played one hell of a game. Quote
