These kneeling skaters .... series are ending quick.
No TV hockey til Saturday

We could be down to 3 series within a few hours

[campaignPete R-CT]

4 more elimination games ... Tonight & tomorrow.

Maybe no hockey on Saturday.
Another year with Canadian teams struggling.
YouTube is great for highlights.

[airborne]

The YouTube channel has had most of the games on NBCSN.

I’ve been watching a lot of hockey this month!

But the further it goes the fewer the games.

[Impy]

Blackhawks got schooled by Vega$.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Who u rooting for in the east?

No games on Saturday

[cowboyusa]

Flyers!

[Impy]

Merica!!!!!!

Unfortunately it looks like Vancouver will win.

[Impy]

How about the Islanders, since it’s a been a while and that seems like it would be a Trump fan base.

8 pm Saturday
COL V DALLAS

[campaignPete R-CT]

5% chance that none of the 8 series goes 7 games. Who called it?

Next round, 22% chance that none of the 4 series goes 7 games.

[airborne]

There’s a small group I’m in that we pick the series winner and how many games the series goes.

One point for the team, one point for the number of games.

I’m in the middle of the pack. I already picked Colorado in 6. I have to get the rest in today.

It appears that the Cancel Culture crowd has claimed another scalp. Personally, I'm not sure what is so controversial about what Milbury said - men being distracted by women, the horror! - but this is the world we live in now.

[Yaelle]

Go Avs Go!

So thankful hockey is back with my team in such good shape!

How’s your bracket? Mine is great except the Bruins ruined it by winning.

[airborne]

My bracket is toast!

I’m left with watching the goalies that played for my local AHL team, the Hershey Bears.

I’ve had season tickets since 2002 and watched both Semyon Varlamov and Philipp Grubauer play.

It was nice seeing Barry Trotz and Varley beat their old team, the Capitals.

With the Covid-19 keeping me home, I’ve been able to watch pretty much every game. It would be better if my Penguins were still around but they got old and couldn’t hang.

For my picks in the Conference semis I have the Avs in 5, Vegas in 6, Islanders in 7 and Tampa in 6.

Like Badger Bob Johnson said, “It’s a great day for hockey”!

[colorado tanker]

That's ridiculous. There is nothing "insensitive" or "insulting" about that remark. Men, especially young men, are attracted to women. Is it now insulting to make a funny comment about a basic fact of human biology?

Mike Milbury is one of their best commentators. If NBC turns all PC and milquetoast, I'll just turn off the sound.

[airborne]

And Grubauer is down and out!

[Yaelle]

Not happy tonight. That was a bad game for us Avs. Prayers for Grubi.

[campaignPete R-CT]

I’m now rooting for Francouz & COL.
I think I’m also supposed to want someone to beat LV.

NO FLYERS
NO LIGHTNING
