Man, right down to the buzzer. What a game. What a series! Wish it could be best-of-9!

Gutsy performance by the Avs missing so many players...

No Landeskog, Timmins, Erik Johnson, Calvert, Donskoi, BOTH goalies, lol. I'm sure I"m missing someone.

Adios Colorado!

Dafuq, did I just see John Stevens in the handshake line?

Yeah, he's been on the Assistant Coach team for the Stars after he got turfed in LA back in late 2018.

Edit: Oh wait, upon further review, it looks like he got hired in the offseason before the 2019-20 season began.
 
wow what a game. Full credit to the Avs for coming back in the series, but I think they would've been hard press to beat the Knights/Nucks if they made it to the conference finals with all their injuries.

Remember how cocky the Canucks were in 2012? How times have changed. I actually like them now.....to a point.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I despised them enough that I rather root for Boston to win the cup in 2011. I know I'm not alone in that one. Anywho, I think, at some point, after 8 years of them suffering, and them acquiring two of our prominent former players, it comes to a point where the stance on the Canucks have soften enough for us to tolerate them again and it's not as funny to laugh at their misery now.

Don't worry, though. We can still laugh at the Sharks all day.

I liked the Avs quite a bit more than Dallas, but in the end, I don't care about either. Despite not hating the Canucks anymore, I still don't really care to see them win the cup. The only team I definitely don't want to win left is VGK though. In the end, I guess I am rooting for anyone but Vancouver and Vegas...

I'm sure the fans are just ecstatic to see Pavelski moving on to the conference finals, while they miss out on the 3rd overall pick :laugh:

There was nothing likeable about that 2011 Canucks teams. Sedins, Burrows, Kesler, Bieksa and probably more that I'm forgetting. Add to the fact that the fans were the most unbearable bunch I've seen in any sport. Now the fans are still unbearable, but the team is so much easier to root for. Petterson, Hughes, Demko, Horvat are all incredible talents and fun to watch.

Knights have the unbearable fanbase and unbearable team (jazz hands forever though:heart:). The cockiness on this team is rather strange.

They only teams I don’t want to win the cup are the Knights and the Canucks. One will be gone tonight. Knights :too soon. Canucks are from Canada and because of 93 I don’t want any team from Canada to win ever again. So far so good
 
Canucks had no business winning game six and so far no business winning game seven. But that’s stellar playoff goaltending for ya.
 
Five minute major to stupid dip**** Reaves.

LOL. DeBoer has seen this movie before in an elimination game, and it was a nightmare for him.
 
And just like that, a wasted year for the Avs. Landeskog will be a 28 year old with 1 year left when next season starts. What's that contract going to look like? Kadri will be 30 in Nov. Johnson is 32. Makar now has 1 ELC year left. They still don't know if their goaltending is good enough. Girard is now a $5m defenseman. MacKinnon is now 25. Kopitar was 24 when the Kings won in 2012. The years go by quickly.

No matter how young a team is, there's no guarantee. Dan Marino.

How about Kuemper? I forgot about him.

Given how the new Coyotes owners were already late on paying the per diems and bonuses to their players, I could see them cutting around every corner (which they've already been doing with their staff).

Supposedly Oliver Ekman-Larsson may be moved.
