Well Martinez played for Vegas on a broken foot, who's to say Killorn can't do the same. It might just be bruised and swollen though.

Bolts in 5. (maybe even 4). Most of us Red Wings fans are pulling for TB, the team that SY built!

Expecting more riots in MTL "the center of the hockey universe". Hahaha.

I can't wait to see Weber, Perry & Danault cry.

As much as I dont want it to happen and would love a sweep. I suspect we will drop one of these road games so they can win it all in front of home crowd game 5.

Which one to bet on I wonder game 3 or 4 hmm...

I don't think Killer has a broken foot from where it hit him. But I'm no doctor. And hoping Coop is being truthful about him being day to day. I'm sure the swelling has to be a lot less now. We can afford to rest him another game also.

TS or Hurricane Elsa may be here around July 6th or 7th (5th game date). If so better just win in 4.

Better to lose game 4. Losing game 3 gives them hope to even the series.
I thought so too initially. But wouldn't losing a gm.3, then crushing them in gm.4 & 5 be more satisfying? Picked Bolts in 5 (rather easily too).


A case for Schadenfreude:

Consider a sweep...winning a cup on MTL ice. The whole "center of the hockey universe" would have an epic meltdown. Lots of rioting, excuses, crying & butt-hurt feelings, meltdowns etc. 20+ yrs from now I want "1993" to be chanted when teams play the Habs (it'll be like their vs. of "1940" that Rangers fans heard for 20+ yrs., 'til '94.



Though for TB fans & fellow Floridians, yes, I want them to win at home.

The whole Price narrative is annoying. Just listened to 31 thoughts podcast and both Friedman and Marek are like how can you not vote for Price blah blah. Are you kidding? Getting outplayed by Vasy aside, Point is playing insane and Kucherov is putting himself into Gretzky-Lemieux teirs. Insane man.

Was that post-game 1? Like he is sporting an .840 in the Finals right now and a .926 overall now.

If its not the writers trying to carry water for Price, its the Montreal posters on here that give me a good laugh.

According to some, we should be permanently (lol) barred from ever hosting (lol) an NHL event (lol).

It was post game 2. Just came out this morning
Lol f*** me then. That's insane.

Edit: I mean Friedman isn't a hockey mind by any stretch. He's a guy who can break trades but not I guy who I think has any sort of skill as an analyst. And Marek is kind of an idiot so it adds up, especially because CANADA CANADA CANADA.

Adding a CS to Price's legacy would justify a lot of stupid takes over the past 5 seasons, so I expect a bit of that to be honest.

Not a great game, but a great win!

While we didn't play well, I didn't think many of their shots were dangerous ones, so that's something. Just need to find our game and keep the pressure! I don't want to let them have any sort of momentum going. Oh and TyJo had a nice game, was good to see!

Sooooo you beautiful people we’re halfway there!!! Just gotta win 2/5!

The only question is, will we raise it again on the road and in an almost empty arena?

Wonder if there's any chance of an impromptu 2-3-2 format depending on the storm. Hopefully an irrelevant discussion to have but just an open thought.

After they’re up 3 games to none, they’ll be like, ok, we didn’t win this in front of fans last year, let’s throw this game (game 4) and win it at home for the fans.

Right?!
