(NHL Playoffs) Rite of Spring 2017: can't go on, no, I'll go on

And the Blues scoring more goals but never mind that. Jake Allen is all the excuse you need.

Half the series are 3-0. This is really fun, you guys. If I wanted to the watch the NBA playoffs I'd watch the NBA playoffs. 

That criticism doesn't feel quite apt when one of the 3-0 leaders was a fairly big underdog.

It's literally Jake Allen that's winning this series.

And all of the Blues players who are managing to score.

Blackhawk and Shark thoughts: Oh, you need goals to win games don't you?

Right... I forgot that almost no one scores in the NHL... The Blackhawks didn't score for their first two games, so the Blues must be really something special!!!!!!

Lots of salty fans in this thread... idk guys, i think i might just have the best claim to the award of Saltiest NHL PLayoff Fan™.  Down 2-1 to an 8 seed in the first round for our 3rd straight "year", scoring 3 goals in every game this series yet losing 2 games, and having to excruciatingly watch another mental collapse in a team that's capable of a lot better...

 

(honestly at this point i wouldn't even call it saltiness on my part, just this dull sense of dread, hoping for the inevitable to not happen)

I know how it feels. I've been there before. Eventually you just become numb inside...like a stripper - no soul.....

Refs in MTL/NYR seem to have forgotten that hitting from behind is a penalty.

WHAT!?!

 

A GOALIE is STEALING a playoff series!?! Alert the authorities! Signal the Ministry of Magic! Shoot a flare for the Justice League! 

 

This is has never happened before! Not once ever! No team has EVER ridden a hot goalie to a playoff series victory! It's preposterous! There must be some dark magic afoot indeed!

 

Burn Jake Allen! Burn the witch!

WHAT???? I thought that the Blues skaters were stealing it??? @Ice_Cap Can you explain???

And we’re off.

[maz 139]

Well, that sucked. 

 

But you also aren't gonna lose many games in the playoffs while scoring four goals. Coming home for game five, I'm not worried. Good game tonight.

One down, three to go.

I mean, it took 15 whole seconds Sharks? I guess it's still an improvement....

 I like how you're using Stinger's head to denote the 16 playoff wins.  Hopefully you get to colour a few more.

That PING sound is really starting to annoy me.

Don't worry; you get used to it.

The Blue Jackets live to fight another day.

As an aside, and I guess it's because I don't really care for either team, but by far, this Rangers/Canadiens series is the series I'm least excited about.
