What a magnificent third period comeback from Dallas after MacKinnon scored in the first minute to make it 2-0. An, oh, the irony, that Rantanen has a hat trick and a four point period to rub salt into the wounds.

Rantanen with salt in the wound and a Game 7 for the ages.

When he's on his game Rantanen is a force of nature, he can wreck teams. Good on Dallas to advance considering they were missing some heavy hitters the whole series.

Another unbelievable game. With the goalie pulled, Winnipeg scores twice in the last minute and 55 seconds to send Game Seven into overtime at 3 all. The tying goal was scored with 1.6 seconds left on the clock. Improbable even by fantasy standards.

In the second overtime, Adam Lowry, Winnipeg's captain, scores the winning goal on a tip that Binnington had no chance on. What a comeback, the perfect bookend for last night's game, though even a little more far-fetched.

Three Canadian teams in the Conference semis. Can't even remember the last time that happened.

Next day.....and the answer is: 2004.

I don't hate the Blues at all, but I sure do like the Jets winning that series. I don't see how they beat Dallas in 7 games, but I sure hope they do.

Binnington is a pretty polarizing goalie in the league's current crop, but I gotta give him credit for a pretty impressive 1st round effort and a hell of a game 7. Dude stopped 43 shots, one goal bounced in off Suter and both Perfetti tips were incredible. Dont think he's getting enough credit imo.

Not even out of the second period of the first game of the series, but Rantanen has another hat trick, eight goals in all so far. I mean, damn, what a time to go on a blazing inferno of a hot streak.

Seems like Carolina might not have needed him but Dallas certainly seems like they do.

Carolina kind of came out the loser, though, all things considered. Basically they gave up Necas, Rantanen, a 2nd round pick, and a 4th round pick for Stankoven, two 1st round picks that are likely to be in the mid to high 20s, and a 3rd rounder. Pretty ugly from that perspective.

Yeah. Feels terrible, but here they are, competing well in the playoffs and getting some assets. It’s weird that they didn’t get any worse.
