Feels like tonight was Hellebuyck's equivalent of Luongo's Game 7 against the Blackhawks in 2011.

Both goaltenders had led in weak goals in the series. Both goaltenders had been pulled.

Hell, Toews' game tying shorthanded goal was weak, just like the second St. Louis goal tonight.

All the pressure was on both goaltenders in OT.

I guess this means Jets are making a SCF run?

i haven’t been following super closely

are morrissey, scheifele, heiskanen, and robertson expected to play next round? at full strength that series could be the real SCF

Idgaf I want an all Canadian finals with the Jets and Leafs, dare to dream.

Ffs I can't support buttmans usa teams hate shitcoils so now I have to be a leaferi need better drugs lol

Well your username covers both of these pretty nicely.

Alright, everyone on board the Jets bandwagon. We may need them to eventually take down the Oilers.

I missed the winning goal, but I'm sure glad I saw the tying goal. That has to be the single most clutch last minute goal in playoffs history. I thought Boeser's last year was something...that we may truly never see again.

They pushed through which is mighty impressive, but Hellebuyck is not instilling much confidence. The label or choker is still hovering above his head.

If he plays like this against EDM, WPG has f*** all chance.

Just played 96 minutes in game 7. Need to recharge and be ready to go again on Tuesday. All others begin either Monday or Tuesday so no rest for the jets.

Shades of the Nash game we had last year.

And this is just the beginning, things will only get harder.

Hopefully they will get to let their bodies get some much needed respite.

Just how it goes. Jets played opening night of PO and are the last to clinch in RD1

“didn’t have his best series”

translation: lost his job to cory schneider and only got it back because schnei shredded his groin on a can-opener penalty shot, a potential deciding game that luongo then proceeded to lose in OT.

memories

Your memory is hazy, Schneider got cramps in game 6 from anxiety and admitted as such in 2013, his groin was fine.

If we knew now what we did about goaltending in 2011, Schneider would’ve started game 5 and started a game against Nashville, San Jose, and Boston too - they wouldn’t have waited until 6.

Even then Lu against Chicago still blew what Helly did out of the water this series thanks to a few brilliant games. One guy put up a 90.2 save percentage, the other 83. If Connor locked in for even one game like Lu did, this series would’ve been over a lot sooner.

i always assumed schneider's “dehydration" and “cramps" was like saying upper body injury when a guy gets his bell rung.

when a guy does the splits like that and then doesn’t get up...

While normally fair and a good assumption, it was Schneider himself who admitted it was anxiety in an interview with Botchford 2 years after the fact.

My worry is still Hellebuyck.

He sort of dodged a bullet here. Imagine if he let in a soft goal this game, oh man...

Like I said, if dude plays like this against EDM, he'll get EVISCERATED.

And the blues are not the sane league as prime years Chicago.

I'm a chocker. Picked Avs and Jets and 0 for 2 game 7s.

Back to 50%. Woohoo

They're playing Dallas -- which is good, because I give Vegas a much better chance of beating Edmonton.

I remember an ex-Canuck saying they got ravaged by the flu before Game 4 in 2011. It just seems to align with the team randomly dropping off and looking so lethargic for a few games.

Heiskanen and Robertson are expected back sometime in this series. Not sure on the Jets players.

OK that was two days two games in a row I was screaming at the TV in excitement in two games not involving the Canucks or my hostility of Edmonton/Toronto. Those Dallas and Winnipeg come from behind game 7s were so f***ing entertaining. Each of them seemed so historical and insane the way they ended. So f***ing crazily entertaining my goodness

Man I love this sport

This ain’t your daddy’s NHL anymore and no lead is safe. We saw it all year in the regular season and now in the postseason. You sit back and try to hold a lead and it’s almost a guarantee that it will be in the back of your net within 5 minutes of play time. Crazy but highly entertaining

So who ya guys got round 2?

Florida 4 Toronto 1
Washington 4 Carolina 2
Winnipeg 4 Dallas 2
Las Vegas 4 Edmonton 2

For reference heres my preddies from round 1:

Toronto in 6
Tampa in 6 X
Washington in 6
Carolina in 4
St Louis in 6 X
Colorado in 7 X
Las Vegas in 4
Los Angeles in 6 X

So i went 4-4 round 1...

Pretty thin Team Canada going to the WHC. But I did a double take at Ty Ronning - he had a bonkers, ridiculous season in Germany. Dwarfed his totals from last season.

ronning and the non-nhl guys is interesting... but was just looking to see who the 4th line C is that will be bumped by crosby joining... and is that zach boychuk??? the same zach boychuk that follows and unfollows me on twitter 25x per year?!? the same zach boychuk with a new crypto coin every few months?!? 35 years old, mostly known for being extremely online over the past decade... and he's still playing hockey??!
