Great first game between Winnipeg and St. Louis

Hopefully it will be our year....

Go Leafs Go.

Dallas deserved an arse kicking for those stair lights in their arena.

Blues-Jets will be the best 1st round series in the West. The Sunshine State battle is my pick for the most entertaining series to come out the East.

Well we found out what happens when you don't make the playoffs. Kraken Fire their head coach again and Ron Francis is no longer the GM.

Ovechkin with the game winner in OT

Still no Gretzky-Someone on BO prob lol

Dang just saw Oilers highlights, must be heartbreak for McDavid he gave it his all out there.

Can they finally get rid of Nurse and Skinhead in the off-season? Or are they both Oilers til age 50.

first two games of Ottawa-Toronto show us that the Leafs havent really changed. Yea they're up 2-0 but they've been outplayed at 5v5 in both games. Sure it works against the Sens but relying on Stolarz and the PP against the eventual big boys will mean another quick exit.

LOL the Sens suck

Finals to likely first round exit tough for Oilers

[QUOTE=hairysasquatch;19884467]LOL the Sens suck[/QUOTE]

They do. And yet they've been comfortably better at 5v5 than Toronto so what does that say about Toronto's chances against better teams?

also, not sure why everyone is so shocked at the Oilers here. They've got a sieve in net and are without their most important dman. As soon as Ekholm went down, their season ended tbh

Connor Mcdavid

People didn’t doubt or at least believed in a team with Jordan or Gretzky. They also have another of the best players in the NHL, they also just made the finals as mentioned. We aren’t talking about the Blackhawks here.

Panthers might sweep the Lightning. They look awful

I'm an Oilers fan, not surprised in the least.

I told anybody who would listen last year that the worst thing that could've happened to them was making the Finals last year.

Cause management was gonna say "hey we can make the Finals with this piece of crap in net, why spend money on a goalie" and not make the changes they should've.

Maybe now that they go out in the 1st round, they'll actually get a true #1 goalie in there...

BOLDY and KAP do it again!

^^^^ Well we are gonna find out tonight cause Skinner is getting yanked for Game 3...

Pickard for life, Oilers win tn

Tom Wilson is awesome
