NHL Hockey thread

Sorry, Toronto.

If those two Boston guys didn't tangle their sticks trying to shoot it into the open net, that would have been game.  Toronto got lucky.  Still, that's the only pressure Boston had really managed without a power play or empty net, so I have my doubts this will end well for the Bruins.

Heck of an OT coming.

Jaron moves to Utah and starts following the white man's game. 

Jaron's been posting in the NHL thead for years.  He's been pulling for the Sharks for a while now.

Sorry, HVC.

I guess I lose good luck charm status!

[Neil]

Ouch.

Question:  Is that the worst 3rd period meltdown in the history of the NHL?

[HVC]

I was one game off on my prediction

The reached high, they played well (last two periods of this game not withstanding ), and as a leafs fan I was always waiting for this.

Epic collapse.

Of course not, the Bruins once led a series 3-0 & lost in game 7.

[Neil]

Who feels worse right now?  The Toronto fans, whose last-minute collapse was agonizing, or Valmy, whose Capitals seem to have been replaced for Game 7 by random fans from the stands.  I haven't seen a team lay down this much since... Montreal's last game.

I suggest you reread my post.

Bruins broke from the script. That last couple minutes of the third wasn't supposed to down like that

[Valmy]

Epic collapse.

Yeah for some teams I guess it was.  But for the Caps blowing 2-0 and 3-2 series leads and getting steamrolled in game 7 is just another year.

At least they put me out my misery early.

Listening to DC sports radio has been cathartic.  Heh fans are demanding a refund.

Heh.  Caps 2-5 all time in series they have a 2 game lead.  Maybe they should just drop the first two games just to be safe.
