Wow, go ahead goal with 1:36 to go
And the empty net seals it.
Allowed only 1 shot in the third, wild.

Gutsy win by the Jets.
Hellebuyck will have to be better though.

Hellebuyck is so lucky his forwards bailed his ass out and his defence blocked a billion shots.
He might be the biggest playoff choker (in terms of difference in playing level between regular season and playoffs) in the league currently.
I didn't sleep for a few days so I fell asleep during the Winnipeg game but the atmosphere looked electric. Got me hyped up for Thursday. If you see someone snoring in the 300s, come say hi.
Hopefully Elgin will be packed and electric.

I still have no idea how this Stars team is any good with a right side consisting of Ceci, Lyubushkin and Petrovic.
If I had to come up with an arbitrary list that comes out the crack of my booty, my top 5 current NHL playoff chokers are:
- Hellebuyck
- AM34
- Marner
- Panarin
- Zibby

Wasn't DeBoer behind the bench a few years ago when another fan decided to get a bit frisky? And he stepped over to stand beside her so she would appear on the jumbotron?

Maybe...been a really quiet game so far. Especially compared to the energy in Winnipeg.

Hard to see a defense of Ceci, Lyubushkin, Petrovic and Bichsel holding up against Colorado. They are in big trouble.
Did Rantanen even play tonight? Colorado may have dodged a bullet wit that one.

They spent all their energy hitting in the first and didn't have anything left in the third. Good lesson for Ottawa against a team with last change. Pace yourself it's a long series.
I honestly think they did.
He’s a real good player but I don’t think he was ever worth 12M in a tax free state.
Colorado knew they could’ve re-signed him. They simply decided not to. Necas is just as good then add Drury and some picks + the cap space they saved.

The playoffs are so much more fun to follow when you actually care what happens in them

I’m always a bit nervous about those guys who ride shotgun with a superstar. You wonder how much of his production was just playing with MacKinnon.

Wild have Buium QBing their 1st PP in his first game in the league in the playoffs.
That's a pretty wild situation to put a 19 year old rookie in
Also dropped Rossi out of their top 6 and PP1, which is somewhat surprising
Could change before the start of the game, that's how they've been practicing the past few days
