Boo-birds were out early as hometown Buds dig themselves into a hole, but this was a great hockey game.
-
@Kid-Chocolate Just watching the highlights but it’s a good series. Kings beat Edmonton tonight Now 3 - 2.
-
-
oh shit. Game 7…
-
Long suffering Leaf fans, crushed again.
R.I.P.
-
Florida, the powerhouse of the NHL.
-
@Kiwiwomble I thought that series would be closer but the blues were just too good.
-
-
Nazim Kadri gets death threats and protection from the St Louis Police Department, scores a hat-trick, Blues on the ropes.
-
Oilers beat Flames in Game 4, now lead series 3-1. There was some awful goaltending clunkers tonight, one of them is an all-timer from 120 feet. Will post video when it’s up. A real howler.
Update, here ‘tis…

@Kid-Chocolate Calgary is choking. The kings played better against the oilers.

Probably the nastiest rivalry I’ve seen, in any sport. I loved that Red Wings team, and I always hated Claude Lemieux. Really looking forward to the upcoming doc.

@Kid-Chocolate he was nasty but a gamer.

I was looking for the clip when Cherry roasted him for costing Canada a World Cup, but couldn’t find it. But I did find this! Watch the whole thing. “The Turtle” and “The Caterpillar.”
And you have to love the comment about old-time hockey Bill Barber (Flyers) being the “best in the world” at diving, but at-least he had honour because he didn’t lay on the ice rolling around when the ref didn’t call it. Still some of the best commentary of all time!
-
Avalanche score with 5 seconds left in regulation after trailing in 3rd to eliminate Blues.
-
@Kid-Chocolate I’ll look at it. You have a dearth of information at your disposal.
-
Rangers d. Carolina in Game 7 to advance against Tampa. Let’s Go Rangers!
-
-
The Lightning seem to be built for this time of the year.
Let's go Oilers!
-
-
So, it’s the Lightning vs Avalanche in the Cup final. I’ll watch it, but not happy about either team being there. Go Avs, I guess?
-
Coolest trophy in sports has stories to tell.
-
Game 1 overtime. 2nd Lightning goal is a beauty. I watched the American broadcast live; the highlight reel comes from the Canadian commentary.
-
Avalanche are now 13-2 in the playoffs. Wins are now habits and legs are fresh.
Avs outshot Lightning 38-23. This will be the series — most of the play will be controlled by Colorado in Tampa’s blueline, and Lightning will try to rely on goalie to rescue their asses.
-
Game 2 annhilation. Champs are on the ropes.
-
@Kid-Chocolate Didn’t see the game but I heard it was 7 0 at the end of the second. Colorado has this series wrapped up.
-
The speed of the Avalanche is fun to watch.

I thought after Game 1 that it would be Avs in 5 games. But they return to Tampa; they are resilient and have been counted for dead several times the past three years; and they are two-time defending champs. So if there’s a pulse, they’re still alive.
-
The Lightning were 2-0 down to the Rangers after losing both games on the road, and came back to win the series. It goes without saying that game 3 is huge for both teams.
-
Tampa enjoyed playing at sea level.
-
Highlights include a good ol’ fashioned fistfight at the 7-min mark.
-
-
Over-Time winner sees Avs take a 3-1 series lead. Kadri scores the game-winner but everybody loses sight of the puck (everybody is looking on the ice and under the goalie, but puck is stuck in top of the net, in clear view!) and for several seconds nobody in the arena — not even the goal-scorer — realizes the game is over.
-
This overtime game-winner has a life of it’s own, from nobody in the arena except one player knowing the game was over, to a two-game swing, to too many Avs on the ice when they scored. People are wound up. Roll the Zapruder film…

-
Tampa won't go away easily.

Grown men rolling around the ice making out. Oh yeah, and Lord Stanley!

An interesting time for hockey in non-traditional markets.
The 4 remaining NHL teams are from non-traditional markets so one of them will win this year's Stanley Cup (Florida, Carolina, Vegas, Dallas). Despite knocking out my Bruins, hoping of those teams that Florida win it all, having been in the Stanley Cup Final way back in 1996 and in this playoffs knocking out Boston and Toronto as an underdog 8 seed.
However, speaking of non-traditional markets, Arizona Coyotes are in big trouble, their arena deal got voted against this week and so are stuck playing in a 5,000 seat college arena for at least the next season. They may be on the move to a new city soon.
