I have no affection for the Canadians, but I do have disdain for the Leafs. So nice to see them lose tonight. Can’t see Les Habitants beating the Peg though. Jets in five.

Once again, my predictive abilities prove flawless. :lol:

I've been thinking that knocking Carey Price out of this tournament is going to be a very serious problem.

Yep. Seems he’s put the team on his shoulders and is intent on carrying them. A hot goalie in the playoffs can take a team far.

They are playing incredible team defense in front of him. He’s certainly been outstanding on his own, no question, but the guys in front of him are keeping the paint clear, keeping things to the outside, limiting turnovers and blocking shots. That’s what I meant in a previous post re: “playoff hockey clinic”.

 

Forecheck, backcheck, paycheck!!

You're wrong on so many levels... Also suck @ risk assessment,  but take solace, humans in general suck at that...

 

Just don't expect to beat out an icing, score, and still come out of it like a freshly tatted, starched, and ironed doily!

You watch any of these playoff games, and then realize how far away the Sabres are from being even remotely competitive in today's NHL.

 

:(

All a team needs is a goalie to plug the net, a brickwall.  Any team can compete.  Just trap 'em down... Win 1-0 games.

Love that the isles eliminated Boston! I always like to see Boston lose (didn’t mind seeing Hall lose either), but it helps the Sabres since they hold Boston’s 2nd round pick.

 

I think I’ll be rooting for the Isles the rest of the way.

Same here.  Hoping for an Isles and Avs cup but Isles and VGK would be good also.

Isles and Avs is what I’m hoping for.

 

I rooted for Vegas their 1st season because it was a cool story. But I’m not really rooting for them as much anymore. I just feel like that VGK fan base has had it way too easy. I think they’ve made the playoffs every year of their existence so far. Like, they are an expansion team and haven’t even had to suffer through a single bad season. Just seems... wrong, or something. But the team I root for has sucked for a decade, so it may be jealousy 😂

I'm with ya on that one.  It was a fun ride with VGK until they almost won the cup in their first year of existence.  I officially started rooting against them in the finals against Washington solely because of jealousy. Why should a city hoist a championship banner in its first year of professional sports franchises when us Joe 18 packs have never witnessed a championship in 120 years of NFL Bills and Sabres history.  No, I don't take much solace in the 63'-64' AFL Championships.

Disappointed Islander fan checking in to say Go Habs! 

 

Nothing against TB except their success. 

 

No real love for Habs except they're original 6 and it's been awhile for them.

My hatred for the Habs runs so deep, I find myself cheering for TB in the finals.

 

Which is funny, as I hate the TB team and they just won last year.

 

I'm just going to cheer for an evenly played, exciting series.

 

I don't think we'll get one, however.  TB in 5 or 6.

I was pulling for the islanders. Now that they’re eliminated I don’t really want either team to win...

 

But as a Buffalo fan I usually always root for the underdog, which would definitely be Montreal. So I guess that’s who I’m rooting for. Plus, Canada is so insanely hockey crazy. I know how much it would mean to Canadians, and especially Canadiens (French Canadians).
 

Speaking of Canada being hockey crazy. I saw the price difference in tickets. For games 1+2 in Tampa, ticket are roughly $850. For game 3 in Montreal, cheapest ticket are over $4000! Canadien fans saying it’s cheaper to fly (round trip + game ticket + hotel) to Tampa for a game. Crazy!

Kucherov already half in the bag by the time he gave his (shirtless) press conference. 

He didn’t make any friends in Montreal....

 

“Montreal fans were acting like they won the Stanley cup last game. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Their final was last series, ok?”

That is one of the only hockey interviews I have ever seen where someone what they were actually thinking instead of sharing a bunch of platitudes and generic BS.  Good for Kuch.
