If you’re Boston do you do what you’ve successfully done all season or do something Swayman hasn’t done since college, who had a nice game 1?
I booked a hotel earlier this week for game 4 but didn’t buy tickets until the panthers at least showed up in game 1. first ever series lead vs Tampa
Isn’t this a misnomer? Didn’t someone post earlier this year that there’s more penalties called in the playoffs?
Tampa is definitely winning a couple of those games. They played pretty terrible offensively and managed to keep it close. Bet it goes 6
I dunno. Them playing bad offensively isn’t an accident. This was always going to be playing the panthers in the playoffs. Vasi was very good at times and I don’t think he has 6 good games. Maybe he steals game 3 but Florida will be pressing that shallow Tampa D pool hard and it will result is some more Florida goals. Today they should have had more offensively too. alao worth noting the panthers only lost once to Tampa this season and it was a game Florida outshot Tampa 50-12 or whatever it was. So Florida has controlled Tampa all season. Never know in playoffs but I didn’t see anything today to change my mind on what SHOULD happen
They call a bunch early in the series (the game on now case in point) then it gets lesser as the series goes on
Lightning need to generate more offense to have any shot but I don’t think they’re going to move the puck well enough from the defense to make a significant jump. Relying on three young guys and a cast off essentially isn’t great back there. That was a “even up the power plays” call. Let me know if you need any recommendations for around the arena for Saturday.
Really cool that ESPN can’t give us even a short postgame show and we get to launch straight into baseball tonight
There’s some sort of contractual agreement that regular season baseball takes precedent over playoff hockey on Sunday nights, right?
From all rumors, Kreider isn’t super vocal behind the scenes and really just sticks to conversing with Zibanejad. He’s a pretty socially awkward dude who probably isn’t typical captain material.
Id be most worried if I were an Avs fan. Georgiev looks fucking terrible. We know Hellebuyck will be fine
Yeah, which makes it even more surprising. Oilers have been embarrassing though. Even more embarrassing since drafting Mcdavid and doing nothing with him, really
I have a friend that lives in Winnipeg. He said it’s nice during the regular season because they don’t usually sell out and during the playoffs it’s electric. It’s on my list
Bednar should pull him now and hope Annunen plays well and not look back the rest of the playoffs Georgiev was pretty terrible at the end of the year
Thanks. Will be a pretty simple plan though since I’ll be with my wife and kids. Staying at embassy suites next to the arena so probably simply go to hotel, go to game, go to hotel. Might try to swing by pure hockey Sunday after the game since we don’t have a good pro shop in Orlando whatsoever. was kinda hoping some more tickets would hit the market after Florida won game 1
