Game 7

Justin Williams time

Teams are pulling the goalie too early this postseason.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Going to game 7 in DC. Let’s go Canes!

 

[Tawnos]

Puck looked under his pads to me. Got a replay showing the loose puck?

Given that the ruling was that Ovechkin pushed in Mrazek’s pad, it doesn’t even matter if the puck is loose. It was goalie interference.

Which is what I thought right away on the replay.

First time I heard Smith-Pelly's name this series

I think he just got called up the other day

Exactly he just pitched his stick under the pad, no way that would ever be ruled a goal.

Tie game in Dallas!

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Comeau!!! 1-1. Great play by Lil Dicky

 

[bl02]

That line has been awesome tonight and Comeau buries it after they burn poor PK

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Comeau!

 

[will1066]

It's funny and sad at the same time that my first reaction to that 3 on 1 was saying that our 3 on 1 wouldn't have even gotten off a shot.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Love how the Stars are playing right now, they’re f***ing stingy and Bishop is a wall.

 

[bl02]

Frankly, it’s weird to even be having this conversation.

At the time of the trade, most people would’ve pegged the Jets pick for 28-31. Having it at 26 felt like the most realistic best case scenario.

Now we find ourselves at 22, four picks higher than 26. Moving from 26 to 22 last year was worth a second.

Now we’re talking about 18-20, which is roughly the equivalent of another second if we were to try and move up from 22.

I'm enjoying rooting for Dallas and I guess even more that there is a lot on the line for the Rangers future.
Definitely was worried once tb got eliminated and the Jets being up 2-0 in the third of game 5 that we were looking at probably only a 28th pick at best. A Dallas win tonight and things really look decent

 

[Harbour Dog]

Benn has been in slow motion all game.

 

[Tawnos]

Exactly he just pitched his stick under the pad, no way that would ever be ruled a goal.

Under the pad is fine if he gets his stick on a puck that’s loose, but not if he shoves in the pad.

Anyway, new Canes owner has to be happy here. If Forbes is right, the team lost about $4m last year. 3 playoff games is very literally the difference between profit and loss. If they can win in DC next game? Even better.

 

[bl02]

lmao Zucc got plowed and he got up like nothing happened

that ain’t ****, zucc can take way harder hits than that

I forgot Hamhuis was even in the league tbh

Zucc is a pitbull

 

[Edge]

Tonight feels like the kind of night where Zucc can come up big.

Tonight feels like the kind of night where Zucc can come up big.

Game 6 2017 first round playoffs big lets hope

1. That may be the first time I've ever cheered Comeau. Feel like that guy kills us no matter what team he's on.

2. Zucc is a warrior. Part of me wants him to come back July 1 and be the Captain going forward. But another part of me wants them to advance to the conference finals and then resign him so we get 2 firsts for him.

 

[LORDE]

Come on Dallas! Plzzzzzzzzz

Canes lost a lot more than $4MM last year. A lot more.

But the owner has to be thrilled. Full building and ticket sales for next year way up. They have been calling back employees they had laid off to help man the phones. Also parlaying this into an agreement for some much needed building improvements. Nice shot in the arm for the franchise

Depends on how bitter he is about being dealt. He can always finish his career here with a few one year stints after how next five year deal if he's still NHL level at that point.

 

[Gresch04]

Dallas is playing a terrible game. They’re pulling a San Jose, should be losing. Hopefully same outcome as San Jose.

 

[bl02]

Grimaldi looking like the most dangerous Nashville predator.

Do we need a win by Stars tonight?
