    Just out of curiousity, why the hate for Edmonton?

    Because I don't believe that Connor McDavid can actually cure cancer and walk on water.

    I've seen them play Vegas twice in Vegas this year and I'll be at games 1 & 2 and if Vegas can't stay out of the box they'll get smoked. Evander Kane coming back from his injury changed everything with this team. He's a degenerate but he's a dam good hockey player and a difference maker.

    I think it's going to be the winner of the Vegas/Oilers series vs whoever wins tonight between NJ and NY

    I'm actually disappointed I have to travel to Florida for something else next week or I'd probably be heading to Edmonton for games 3&4

    That's fair, but he's a lot less unlikeable than guys like Ovechkin and Crosby.

    The Panthers are limiting ticket sales to home games to U.S. residents only, to try to prevent Leafs fans from getting tickets. How pathetic - if you don't have enough fans to have already bought tickets for a possible second round (at least back in the day when I camped out for Islanders playoff tickets and then had season tickets, the first two rounds were bought at the same time), you deserve what you get. It's also not going to work - they'll just go to the secondary market, because the Panthers apparently don't have a fan base, so plenty of people who have tickets will be happy to take the money and run.

    Joe Pavelski with four goals for Dallas, but Seattle wins it 5-4 in OT to grab home ice.

    Florida also took home ice from Toronto with a 4-2 win.

    Let's Go Panthers. Fuck the Leafs. I hope 1967 lives forever.

    Kinda harsh, but ok. Just wondering why the Maple Leaf hatred? Tavares, perhaps?

    Exactly. Once JT retires then I don't care if they win it although it would be nice to keep 1967 alive.

    Draisaitl scores four goals and Edmonton loses the game - I can't imagine that that has ever happened before on consecutive days in the playoffs (see Joe Pavelski and Dallas).

    Bobrovsky earning that giant deal.

    Nylander showing that the only thing that should save Lou’s job is if he can pry him from Toronto.

    What the hell happened to the Devils. Its 1-1 in the 2nd period and then in a 5-minute period its 5-1. For game 5 I might go with Mackenzie Blackwood in net. Can't trust Schmid or Vanecek as both have sucked this series.
