Also, sorry if that was too edgy. Has to be Dave Mishkin. Plenty of announcers yell, but I feel like Dave Mishkin is mad at me when the Lightning score.

This will be a decent game on mute. For some reason the NHL network plays a countdown show instead of the game in my area. CNBC didn't black me out and USA network didn't black me out, but NHL network has twice now. That rule makes no sense. To make matters worse Fox sports Ohio has the reds game on their main feed so I'm relegated to the alternate fso channel which is standard definition like it's 19dickettysix.

ninersdd Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The Jackets have surrendered at least 3 goals in all of their playoff games. Yikes. BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I was hoping for a miracle comeback with the Blue Jackets getting the 4 straight. Sadly, I don't think that will be happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Oh hey, the NHL is still a :censored:ing joke, neat. This being whistled for a goaltender interference penalty is an awesome way to have your season end, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad call leads to a Penguins goal and then a subsequent Blue Jackets meltdown. So frustrating. Wish we'd have gotten a fairer shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Wasn't a penalty, but also not a goal. Hell of a game by Fleury, Columbus definitely made it interesting. Played their damn hearts out Hell of a season for them. Hopefully Toronto/Washington goes the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Well, that's that. At least it wasn't a sweep. Good season for the Jackets. Hopefully it's a sign of better things to come. Go Rangers, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The worst part is Bobrovsky was absolutely dreadful in all 5 games. He's gonna win the Vezina and it will be awkward. If he'd shown up this series might be over going the other way right now. The Penguins are the better team, but they're not this much better. Just couldn't really ever get a bounce or a call to go their way, lost their arguably best player in Game 3. Very little went right. Shouldn't have been a first round matchup. At least they didn't get swept. The winning streak was fun. Cool to experience a regular season other fanbases get to have on a semi yearly basis. Hope it isn't three more years until we're in the playoffs again. I hope we don't have to play Pittsburgh again. It's not fun. Go Caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It's incredibly frustrating that the team with the NHL's 4th best record is out of the playoffs, yet one of Boston/Ottawa (#6/#7 in the East) wlll advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Houston Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Wow. Still could choke this away but holy :censored: was I wrong about this series. "And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life...

Then again, it's already in HD on other providers so it shouldn't be an issue. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What a BS ending to G5. Congratulations to the Rangers who will most likely make it to Round 2. I don't see the Habs kicking in that extra playoff gear needed to make it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
