Been waiting all week for the Leaf's/CDN's series to start but I am currently watching the Isle's/Pens go at it tonight. Not sure who is going to go all the way as so many teams look strong, but unfortunately for me, I don't think the Leaf's are quite there yet.

Even though my Flyers are not in it, playoff hockey is the best. I try to watch every game if I have nothing else to do.

Agree - there is no way an Isles fan could root for the Rangers or vice versa. Last night was painful, my friend. I was a&s bagels in Franklin Square after the game (24 hour bagel place a few blocks away from the house) and I heard two kids talking about the game in front of me. Both Ranger fans. I mentioned I was at the game and they both said they hated both teams. Completely respect that!

Suddenly the Caps look like an old team. Time for a retooling as we go into the off season and into next year.
At least I got to see them win a Stanley Cup! Been a fan since they started. |

Caught the last 2 double O T games between Nash/Carolina, great action. Think Carolina had 60 + shots on goal today, wow !

The days of Denis Maruk and Ryan Walter? Loved those uniforms! And was happy when they returned!

Disappointed Edmonton is done but with their lack of depth, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
With Washington and St. Louis now done, I'm hoping Vegas gets by the Wild, the Pens beat the Islanders and Florida beats TB. Don't really care or have much interest in Carolina or Nashville, but if I had to choose, I'd take Nashville I guess? Glad to see my Leaf's hang on for a victory last night. Hope they can do the same again tonight and also put out the CDN's.

Like someone else said, I am rooting against more teams than I am rooting for.
My #1 hope - Is that the Penguins get knocked out of the playoffs no matter who they play. #2 - The winner of the Carolina / Nashville series wins the cup. #3 - The winner of the Vegas / Minnesota series wins the cup. #4 - All the other teams knock each other senseless. Bob |

Well the Bruins sure have some time to rest and get somewhat healthy, blue liners all banged up already. Enjoying the other series and rooting for NYI`s, HATE Pitts, Nash, and of course the Leafs(give me an original 6 team every time). Let`s Go B`s !!!!

Some anti-Islander sentiment that I find interesting as they’ve been such a disaster over much of the last 30 years until Wang died. Irv notes he’d like to se the Pens beat the Isles, me? I’m of the thought process where the Isles still owe the Leafs one since Lanny MacDonald. (If Isles are looking for that 5th Cup, it’s in 78 or 79, not 84).
I have no idea how anyone under the age of 35 is an Islander fan. There were 3000 people at games for years, no one was there for almost 2 decades. |

Many great players on the Isle's, and I have a soft spot for Jordan Eberle since his World Juniors days. Imo, he never really lived up to what he was capable of but he is having a great season this year so it is hard to root against him.

Ebs is cool. I think the Isles issue is that Barzal is not a #1 center. There really isn’t a #1 line either. Sort of run two #2 lines out there and two #3 lines out there. Fantastic coach and staff. Goalie coach Lou brought with him from Toronto is probably the best in the game.

It is always a great Stanley Cup playoff when Pittsburgh loses to anybody.
Since the Caps are done I can root for my other team now……Go Avs!!!! Last edited by butchie_t; 05-26-2021 at 07:27 PM. |

It's sad to watch McDavid waste his prime years in Edmonton. This organization keeps surrounding him with the same crappy players year-after-year and guess what? They still don't get it! They are not going to get anywhere with these guys!

Hindsight is 20/20 but I bet if the original core of players in Eberle, Ryan N Hopkins, Hall, etc, were still there, things would be much better. Chiarelli was a disaster and was kept on too long.

Almost as bad as Milbury. Not quite there. The Isles thank you him for Barzal... |

Who you got?
Montreal/Toronto V Winnipeg
Boston V Isles Carolina V Tampa Bay Colorado V Las Vegas Me: Toronto closes out the Habs tonight, Winnipeg beats them in 6. Boston sweeps the Isles, not even close. My Game 6 tickets go to waste. Tampa beats Carolina in 6. Close series. Colorado beats Vegas in 6. |

Looking forward to the Mtl-Tor game 7. Habs showed character by not folding after Toronto's third period goals.

Neither team, imo, played like they wanted it and despite which team advances, if they play like that in the next round they will be finished. I've honestly seen far more regular season games played much better, with more intensity, than what I witnessed last night.

Barzal
He is a kid, he is exciting, he has disappeared and I’m not sure you can build your team around him. As for playing Leo Komorov with him, all I can say is Barry Trotz and Lou Lamoriello know more about hockey than I do, but...

...that really dislikes Vegas? Too good, too fast? Shouldn’t they have had some growing pains ? Go Avs

I personally like them and will be rooting for them when my Leaf's are finished (maybe tonight?) but I do know they are in tough against the AV's who I also like. Imo, it's a shame these 2 teams have to face off so early. I would much rather see them in the Stanley Cup final that seeing them in the 2nd round.

Come on Leafs, come ON. Think T B a little too much speed for Hurricanes. Don’t want to jinx my B’s but they are peaking at the right time and got a HUGE bump at the trade deadline. Is there a more under rated 2 way player in the league than P Bergeron, he’s the Stan The Man of hockey!! Enjoy the playoffs boys 💪💪

Before the series began when I heard Price (and Gallagher/Weber) were coming back, I knew right then Toronto wasn't going to have an easy time with them.

The Winnipeg/Montreal series is somewhat historic....
the last time teams from the respective cities met in Stanley Cup competition was 1903. |

Question: does Winnipeg roll Bobby Hull out from time to time? Bob Essenas? Dave Babych? Steen? Selanne? Pokey Reese? Hedberg? Nilsson (clean hit, by the way)? Phil Housley? Are they brought back to the games? |

Jake Evans
I was watching with my wife and 5 year old son. They were both visibly upset. My wife was saying "these guys are so young out there" and Arthur was asking over and over "is he ok? is he ok?"
Real tough to watch |

How is everyone emotionally?
I’m a tad spent after last night. Wife was a tad overwhelmed, 5 year old wanted some serious batting cage time (over night he became a baseball freak) so I rolled up to the house at 6pm. I could have bought a single for $180 and probably tipped my way to SRO (if I went in a sports jacket and tie). But I stayed home.
Sitting in my old section for Game 6. |

Sweeping the Oilers was the worst thing that could have happened to Winnipeg.
