2018-2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs Pt. 2

[kovacro]

Bruins look to have settled in with the 2 goals in their pocket and took the play to the Leafs toward the end of the period.

End of 20, Bruins lead 2-1.

 

[KopitarFAN]

After tonight, these guys are gonna have something else in common.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

Herman, eh.

 

[lumbergh]

That third Bruins goal was a dandy. Exactly like you would draw up and play and execute it in practice. They took advantage of a forward trying to play defense on a 2-on-2.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Herman, eh.

I didn't even see that, or read the comments.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Herman, eh.

 

[kovacro]

Herman, eh.

Leafs cut the lead to one with 14 minutes to go.

 

[bouncesonly]

That useless leafs fan needs to sit down

 

[KopitarFAN]

Those 5-7 minutes were nuts.

 

[kovacro]

Marchand may have iced it now, empty net goal. Bruins lead 4-2, less than 2 mins. left.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Game 7!

 

[kovacro]

Game 7!

It’s been a house of horrors for the Leafs. Going to be interesting to see how they come out in Boston on Tuesday.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Gotta think CBJ is licking their chops while watching these teams kick the shit out of each other.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

As anticipated, the Leafs/Bruins match up has been the best series of the first round.

 

[KINGS17]

I mean... they already have a thread with a poll asking Canadians if they'll cheer for the Leafs.

Much like the Kings were Canada's team in the first round of 2012, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bruins are currently the #1 team in Canada.

Gotta think CBJ is licking their chops while watching these teams kick the **** out of each other.

Might be killing their momentum.

 

[KopitarFAN]

Might be killing their momentum.

Sure didn't hurt the 2012 Kings, obviously that's just one case and you may very well be right.

Then again, they played the maximum number of games to get to a final in 2014, so who knows.

 

[KINGS17]

Game 7 is always a good thing, just ask fans of the Sharks, Ducks, and Blackhawks.

I'm not sure which team collapsing in game 7 would be more amusing, the Sharks or Golden Knights.

I just cheered a Sharks goal. I feel dirty.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Erik Karlsson is looking rough. Curious to see who is going to take a big chance at signing him to a ridiculous contract this summer.

Stone is such a crafty player. Some really remarkable vision for a winger, too.

 

[Herby]

Erik Karlsson is looking rough. Curious to see who is going to take a big chance at signing him to a ridiculous contract this summer.

Really sad to see because he was such a special player, but Karlsson just doesn't look the same anymore, he was a Top 5 player in the world for a good 5-6 years (could argue maybe the best for a couple of them) but he just doesn't dominate the game like he once did. I thought giving Doughty all that term was a mistake, I think whoever does it with Karlsson this summer will be making the same mistake. Atleast with DD and Kopitar the Kings were paying for accomplishments the player had with the team, whoever pays EK this summer will have not have any of that (he ain't going back to Ottawa).

Just proves more and more this is a game for players in their 20's and once a guy gets to his late 20's you have to really really be careful.

The more I look at those runs in 2012 and 2014, the more bizarre they appear.
