Both meltdowns come from the same problem: Failure to finish the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad thing? Both meltdowns come from the same problem: Failure to finish the job. Honestly, it's good for the fans to suffer a bit. Their first season gave many of those new to following the sport closely unrealistic expectations for what it means to be a hockey fan, in the long term. I thought their draft would produce a batter product than we'd seen during most of the expansion era, but I never dreamed they'd see a SCF year one. The trade off is that a lot of their supporters are having a really uncomfortable learning experience with disappointment. They're going to lose their collective minds when the team eventually fails to make the playoffs. Say what you want about Buffalo, Columbus, or Toronto fans, but they've got some of the most dedicated people I've ever seen.

Sport Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I would like the Pittsburgh Penguins and all their fans to eat a big bowl of farts. Especially Jeff Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Ducharme's really gonna play a pairing of Gustafsson-Merill in a do-or-die elimination game and not even give Romanov a chance to see if he sparks life into the team lmfao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Carey Price is playing surprisingly well in these playoffs and I have no idea how. At his age, he struggled to win a single game this season, he let in 2 goals in 4 shots in his practise return with the Laval Rocket. With expectations at an all-time low, he's playing shockingly well in almost all 5 Habs games in this series versus the Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I wanted Nashville to win but the way they played the third, no effort to play offense up one, watching them lose was pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Houston Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Holy heck, the Wild have forced a Game 7? I've only been halfway paying attention to the playoffs because of life stressors and what not, but man, that'd be hilarious if Minnesota pulled the wool over the eyes of a Cup favorite in the first round no less!

Ridleylash Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Battle of the chokes; do the Habs blow a 2-0 lead in OT to lose the series or do the Leafs blow the series lead and let the Habs force Game 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when the Leafs collapse, we can look back on the turning point that was Game 5 in OT. That no-look pass by Galchenyuk that set up a Habs 2 on 0 for the win no one expected. The Habs team was beaten down. In their minds, they were already making plans on what to do in their inevitably early offseason vacation. Price let in a weak goal that forced OT. The game was in the bag for Toronto against a defeated team, and yet they still found a way to it up. This is amazing to see the Habs get life back in their game like this.

schlim Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 With the final four established by regular season points, here's a look at the possible brackets: If Montreal wins, the final brackets are set: #1 seed - winner - COL (82 pts) VEG (82 pts) #2 seed - winner - CAR (80) TB (75) #3 seed - winner - BOS (73) NYI (71) #4 seed - winner - WIN (63) or MON (59) Things are a little less clear if Toronto wins (necessary series results in parenthesis): #1 seed - winner - COL (82) VEG (82) #2 seed CAR (80 - CAR W), TOR (77 TOR W, TB W), TB (75 TB W, WIN W) #3 seed TOR (77 - TOR W, CAR W), TB (75 TB W, TOR W), BOS /NYI Winner (CAR W WIN W) #4 seed BOS/NYI Winner (TOR W) or WIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I mean, the Avs are the Cup favorites for a reason. It's entirely merited. They're the only team I don't give the Lightning at least a 50% chance of beating. It's actually why I really hope Toronto doesn't finish their meltdown. Obviously the Lightning need to do their part along the way, but if the Maple Leafs go out, odds are the Lightning need to beat both Boston AND Colorado to win the Cup, whereas if the Leafs win their division, the Lightning would only need to face Boston OR Colorado (and obviously Toronto). Colorado and Boston are two of the three best teams in the NHL. It's not impossible but boy would it be daunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
