I will cry when Bergeron retires. He’s equal to Lidstrom IMO.

This Knights/Sharks game is insane.

 

[Bounces R Way]

That 3rd period was one of the craziest I can ever recall.

That 3rd period was one of the craziest I can ever recall.

Not even the whole 3rd period, just the last 10 minutes!

Watching the VGK-SJS series makes me think Calgary was never going to make it out of the second round let alone the first.

They played both those teams well in the regular season, and would have been competitive with them if they had their A game. They didn't have even their C game in the first round, though.

 

[DCDM]

What a crazy game.

 

[Calculon]

That was fun.

Sharks are either going to win the cup or get trounced by the Avs. Or lose on another round. I dunno.

 

[Master Bill]

I hope the Avs kick the shit out of them

Can't stand the Sharks one bit.

 

[super6646]

My bracket is 2/7. I was a perfect 8/8 in the first round last year. I hope the caps lose for the lols tomorrow.

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

I don't hate the Sharks, but Kane is enough to make me cheer against them.

That said, watching this last game made me realize how unmatched we would have been against either of these teams. They played their fourth period faster and smarter than we played our firsts.

 

[CamPopplestone]

Eakin pretty much cost them the series

By pushing his opponent off the faceoff? That's pretty harsh. Players don't expect to be risking a major penalty by making that play 30 times a game.

It was a bad decision by the refs in the heat of the moment.

 

[CamPopplestone]

He still cross cross checked him in the chest when they were up by 3. Idiot

 

[Dack]

That play happens after almost every faceoff it's just jockeying for position. He crosschecked a guy in the chest and got a 5 minute major because his face was bleeding.

It's the opposite of how the saints were eliminated in the NFC finals. The NFL refs missed a blatant call, the NHL refs make one up.


I hope the call at least leads to something that stops poor officiating from ruining series.

 

[Anglesmith]

He still cross cross checked him in the chest when they were up by 3. Idiot

Right. My point is that he is no more singularly-culpable than any of the countless players who committed blatant infractions that didn't lead to major penalties. It's playoff hockey. Probably a half-dozen of his teammates also committed minor infractions during that game-state that didn't get called.

Sure, and they beat Colorado every game in the regular season too. But let's not beat a dead team horse.

I don't hate the Sharks, but Kane is enough to make me cheer against them.

I'm in it for Thornton to get his. Not enough elder statesmen first-ballot HHOF locks get their Cups.

Pretty good hockey to be watched in the other series. Hoping the 'Canes take it in Game 7.

 

[Iggys Dome]

We probably would’ve won more playoff games if we just dropped to 2nd in the division. God damn seeing the Sharks comeback from 3-1 just reopens the wound a bit.

 

[SKRusty]

Eakin pretty much cost them the series

Gallant cost them with that penalty kill. Never before have I seen 3 little lone 4 goals on a PP. How do you let it get past 2?

Going to disagree there, Vegas would have swept us for sure. This series was true playoff hockey, unlike whatever the hell it was the Flames were putting out.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

I hope no one puts that loss on MAF. The dude had his work cut out for him with all that traffic. I hope Pavelski is okay.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Sharks have been pretty brutal defensively and in net during the playoffs.. I think the Avs are going through to the WCF. San Jose won't be able to keep up with them and stop the Avs big guns who are far faster and more skilled than Vegas.

Mack is seriously on a mission.

 

[Mobiandi]

Anything can happen in the playoffs but SJ is clearly a level above Dallas, St. Louis, and Colorado. This is the clearest path to the cup they've ever had.
