Some bonafide highlight reel saves by Fleury in the 2nd period. They could've been down 4-0 or 5-0 after 40 easily. Lehner should watch that 2nd period footage on loop for educational purposes!

?????? Not a “bad” goal. Stone perfectly placed it top shelf.
I suspect Av's fans disagree. Any breakaway goal is bad, particularly in OT. (and he coughed up a 2-goal lead)
The players coughed up those goals. Grub played a great game. No trash goalie is a Vezina finalist.
Granted, Grub is no ?
Grubauer is a top notch goaltender. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t watch enough hockey. Nobody is perfect, and his team didn’t help him much in the third.
What? He had unobstructed path and shot. A shot that was perfectly placed top corner, just under crossbar. Would have taken a spectacular feat of acrobatics to stop it.
The Fleury goal at end of first was a bad goal. He simply missed it with his glove.
And the breakaway itself was dependent upon a block, and quick dump from Pacioretty, which was a phenomenal play.
Any breakaway goal is bad????? Smh ?
at that statement.
@Aomalley27 I'd hate to be in your seat right now, bud! Hopefully the Bruins can give us some hockey to watch on Friday! Good Luck!
Although I hope the Isles win. No offense, would just love to see some new blood in the finals.

Best chance they've had to get to the final four since...
Looks like #66 is thinking: "This is hockey dude, not soccer!" Speaking of soccer scores, yes, that is Uwe Krupp in the background, the hero of Game 4 of the '96 finals, a 1-0 triple OT Avs win.

I just hope this FINALLY opens Sweeney’s eyes to send Puukka packing. He’s a born loser, with weak constitution. 2010 he choked away a 3-0 series lead and a 3-0 Game 7 lead to Philly. Was replaced by Tim Thomas, and magically a Cup win with Timmy absolutely standing on his head throughout playoffs.
Then, they chase Thomas out of town for not being a “team player” when he opted out of White House visit.
Then Rask chokes in spectacular fashion in 2013.... 6 seconds of a guy taking a deuce on the ice.
2014... outplayed by a rookie Holtby
2015 developed Tuukka flu and sat out final games while chasing playoff spot
2016.... Tuukka flu again in game 82 playin
2019... choke game seven against surprise, surprise A ROOKIE for the Cup
2020... “I’m going home, I miss my family” bubble shenanigans
Should have been tossed out on his ass at least three times already.
And he’s got the ? ? to suggest he wants a extension and raise?
Wow, Isles giving the Bruins what for.
The best thing about period intermission. Looking good Kathryn, looking good.

Islanders won. The double empty net of death goal clinched it.
I was surprised Boston let New York play keep away for two full minutes as time waned.

Haha, this is true. Although if we had a gimme like the caps in round 1 it’d be the other way around ?
I'll say! I'll never make it past the 2nd period, I'll be glad when we go back to 8 PM EST starts.
Out west here its great ?
This game started at 5pm for us Alaskans. What a great game so far!
The ex-cap Burakovsky ties it up!
Well that was a great series. I haven't seen playoff hockey that good in a while. Colorado had me on the edge of my seat as I thought they were the better team for most of the last two games.
How are you celebrating, @ashdigger? I'm going to go light up some McClelland 2015 and eventually pop an IPA.
