Thought it well past time to get a 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs discussion thread going, now just 2 games into the 2017 Playoffs.
I’ve expressed support here for the Pens on account of their style of play and overall grit. That said, it was impressive that the Preds — whose nose-to-the-grindstone way is also appealing — got 6 goals on 18 shots tonight. I can’t recall anything like that.
Yes, way amazing. I was afraid there for a moment listening in the car. When the Ducks tied it up. I was desperate for the Preds to have their shot at the cup.
Happy at the win, truly amazing the shot / goal ratio. But then I went to mush. I actually am a Ducks fan too, just not as much, as my two oldest sons were rooting for the Ducks. And it hurt to see the guys crying. I’m a softie. We skated last year on their ice, we lived there. Hockey can be heartbreaking.
I think the Pens will win their series. I’m concerned about the Preds vs them, but I’ll be rooting.
If the Sens somehow come back against the Pens, I'm all in for the Preds.
I’m thinking no matter what, Pens Preds will be one hell of a match up. And if the Sens pull it off, fine.
Preds got it done. Do the Penguins follow suit?
I hope the Pens win tonight. The Preds are waiting!
Awful game but on to game 7 ....
Everybody is welcome on our bandwagon. We play hockey loud and have fun doing it!
Pens did everything better except score.
Unless you count that disallowed goal.
But it’s on to game 7!
I thought it was a goal. The league said no. Hopefully game 7 is better. Sullivan says Hornquist and Schultz might play. That might help.
I wish the officiating was consistent. But it seems to vanish during the playoffs. You get a bunch of ridiculous calls and non-calls. When can we get rid of puck over the glass as a penalty? Just do a face-off in the offender’s zone and call it done. And intent to blow has got to go.
Thanks! Tuesday evening’s game was intense, to say the least. Can’t wait for Game 7 — and then I can only imagine what the Final will be like!
Let’s Go Pens!

Just got home from a Memorial Day parade planning meeting.
Glad to see we are still playing well.
This is great hockey.
20 minutes (or more) to decide who goes to the Final.
I am just tied in knots right now.
Will Canada be shut out of the Cup for yet another year.
They’re giving it their all. I’m good with that.
I hope so, scr*w Canada.
