Overdue.

The win is the thing.

Bring back the shift. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM28EWsk7/?t=2

I love junior hockey. London knocked off Samia in conference finals but then get knocked off by Peterboroughj in the Ontario Hockey League finals

That was quick. Easy wide open conversion of a juicy rebound a minute into OT and Vegas goes up 2-0.

Yet another conference finals overtime. Vegas tied it with a couple of minutes to go in regulation.

What a run that Florida has going. Up 2-0 in games over Carolina after the Panthers’ 8th straight road win, five of which have been in OT. Much shorter OT tonight, just a couple of minutes

1. The upset of the Bruins was one of the biggest in hockey history. And Florida is better than typical #8 seeds, having had a very good season last year and then this year handling the Leafs with relative ease after getting by Boston. NHL playoffs are not as unpredictable as some perceive, almost always the two finalists are top 7 teams overall in the regular season. That said, the first round has a fair number of upsets and being the home team is less of an advantage than in the NBA and NFL, and the #1 seed doesn’t win it all any more than a #2 or #3 seed. 2.I don’t think of Bruins fans as being hated. I’d say fans of Philly and Chicago are who we hear more often about as being hated. No one feels sorry for Boston fans though giving so many championships across all sports since 2000. Fair bit of hate towards the Bruins as a team because they’ve a) been very good for 10-15 years now: b) as an Original Six team have been around long enough to build up rivalries with the Habs and Rangers and Leafs (incidentally no rivalry to speak of with the Wings, I don’t believe the two teams have met in the playoffs since the ‘40s); and c) Marchand and Lukic and Chara and Tim Thomas and Krecji are the type to elicit reactions.

The Tigers haven’t been within a game of .500 since being 2-3 the first week of the season. This is the 6th time since then that they’ve been 2 games under trying to get back to a game under - lost the first 5 times.

Saw that, terrible. Could have caused serious damage to the guy’s foot.

Speaking of which, Angels just took back the lead over the Twins on the MLB free game of the day. 5-4 bottom of the 7th. updare: Twins lose!

Got me!

Anther good one. Two games, two overtime winners. Might get into the conference finals after all.

Boom. Dubas out as Leafs GM. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2650570

Tkachuk! Thought for sure we were headed to 5OT.

Panthers-Canes headed to 4OT!! Keep going. Although i feel the Panthers were robbed with disallowed goal in first OT.

I read today that the Suns’ owner might have an interest in buying them and playing out of same arena. But I can’t imagine that’s the case, as surely that option would have been fully explored by now.

Verlander knocked around in his home debut in a Mets uniform.

Hey Siri, what was the Tigers’ 40-game record the last time they won the pennant?

Vegas and Carolina both look to have fun, lively arenas and I would like to see games there. I like the camera angles on Dallas home games, captures the crowd well. Florida I like because my daughter took her loyalties to the Panthers when Luongo got traded back there. So I have no problems with the markets. Just there’s no one team or player left who I would really like to see win the Cup, the way I cheered for Thornton’s Sharks to the final and the Caps and Blues when they won it all.

Sparky’s 40 games:

Are you kidding?? I brought my Red Wings bad luck over to this thread.

At least Edmonton doesn’t have an NBA team.

Dallas-Seattle Game 7 tonight. A Kraken win would maintain my interest in these playoffs. I like the Canucks, don’t mind their fans, sometimes cheer for or against them in a series depending on the circumstances. BUT. …if Seattle were to somehow beat the Canucks to a Cup?? Haha, that would be the funniest thing ever. The city of Vancouver would completely lose its collective mind.

Oilers out. Vegas with 4th conference finals appearance in 6 seasons
