Stanley Cup Playoffs 2015

Crazy game. What an epic collapse before they pulled it out of the fire.

If the ducks wouldn't have won it in OTthat would of been an epic crap of the bed.

Toronto Maple Leafs epic.

Well, to be fair, Toews second late goal was absolute Dung and should have never gone in.  The goaltending in general was quite bad last night.  

The Silfver Surfer with another couple of points.  16 points now for him.

Andersen was weak on a couple of the goals. But Crawford just wasn't having a good night. Didn't see the OT -- saw the replay but not the play that led to it. From what I heard it was a bad change when the guys on the first shift failed to dump it in deep. Can you blame Crawford for giving up that huge rebound? Don't know, but every single goal involved the team in front of him making a mistake (or two or three). It was 3-0 in the first but could have very easily been a lot worse if not for Crawford. As it turned out, he kept them in long enough for a comeback.

Losing like that, though, that must be demoralizing as hell. They might be done. On the other hand, they played like crap both defensively and offensively, and still managed to tie it up. If they had played in the first like they did in the 2nd and 3rd they would have won 4-2 in regulation.

Would you say Crawford was "Average" on those goals?

No, I would not. Hjalmarsson stands 4 feet away from him, blocks his view but does not block the puck. Tip in front where the puck, initially headed high is tipped down, then bounces up and he managed to get a hand on it but not enough. Fowler's goal was a great pass and no-one covered him. Off the post and in -- *THAT* is a perfect shot, Mr. Anderson.

He made great saves on other chances, just not those ones.

Man that series is bipolar. Can't find any consistency.

If it continues that wa you can pretty much guarantee the cup is heading west again this year.

It's pretty crazy. The obvious edge goes to the Rags in game 7 at home with "Mr Game 7" Lundqvist in net.

Rangers consistently play better in Tampa than at home. Bishop consistently plays better at MSG than in Tampa.

Kind of like our series against Montreal where it was either a blowout or a 1-0 victory for someone.

Rangers play much better on the road for some reason. Lundqvist will likely have to steal it for them to win.

Then, again, they'll probably score another touchdown.

I really hope Tampa wins it. especially at MSG. those fans can suck it.

Two games 7s. I'm Ok with that.

Yeah, this is pretty much as good as it gets for playoff hockey.  And I'm gone camping all weekend and will miss both games 7s.

Is it games 7s or game 7s? I personally think it's games 7. Dr. Poo?

Games 7s sounds Englishally spot on. I edited my previous post to reflect this correction.

Tampa Bay in huge trouble. Probably Anaheim too.

Oh goodness. I got this one, Dr. Poo.

It's "game 7s" because the word is actually a compound noun (a noun made up of more than one word). The whole noun is "game 7," so, to pluralize, you need to add the "s" to the 7. Just like you wouldn't say that there are many "Mexicans restaurants" in California.

There are two game 7s.
