The Official 2022 Stanley Cup Playoff Thread

I was just keeping track of the score from the smoking tent at the show. Kinda glad I wasn't watching more closely...

I would have called it no goal.

He changes the angle of his foot, I don't see what the controversy is.

Will the Canes exorcise their road demons? Methinks not. Lightning will have to wait a little longer to see who their Prince of Wales Eastern Conference opponent is, I believe.

And sure enough, Canes lose on the road...again. That does not bode well unless you're the President's Trophy winner.

A nice 77th b-day gift for my father-in-law, a native New Yorker.

And here we go with another game 7!

The Rangers have surprised a lot of people so far these playoffs.

At the end of the game, one of the announcers said "they only ones winning here are the Lightening". If neither team can win a game on the road, I'm not sure how they move on.

 

[Servant King]

Wow. Rangers. That's going to be a hell of an ECF, the two best goalies (IMHO) going head to head.

And in other news, Rod Brind'Amour could certainly go for a stiff drink* right about now...

* And I sure could too!

 

[ashdigger]

I’m so glad Turk and crew won. Suck it DeBoer.

 

[alaskanpiper]

Kreider certainly decided to show up at the right time. Big win for the Rangers (and for my bracket ?)

Avs versus Rangers. Go Avs.

Avs versus Rangers. Go Avs.

Rangers have a tall order to get there. There are 389 games worth of Conference Final playoff experience on that Tampa Squad.

Personally I’d love to see NYR and EDM in the final, but I’d settle for NYR and Colorado. Just not Tampa again. Nothing against the lightning, I just like variety.

 

[ssjones]

Should be interesting. Two top goalies. The Rangers are pretty beat up, the Lightening have been on the beach for a week it seems. The Rangers won all three games in the regular season, which I guess means almost nothing now.

 

[Peter Turbo]

Rangers still destroying the competition!

LETS GO NEW YORK

I'm a bit tired of TB, sorry TB fans.

Personally I think the Oilers will take out the Avs and TB will take it all. I hope I'm dead wrong.

 

[mikethompson]

Welcome to the western finals!

Kane strikes again !!!

Agreed

 

[runscott]

Avalanche I don't think it matters who they play in the finals.

Whoever wins this barn-burner series takes it all.

 

[ssjones]

Looks like some pretty rough goal tenders tonight.

 

[Streeper541]

Watching Game 1: Avalanche v. Oilers First hockey game I've watched in at least a decade. I forgot how much I enjoyed it.

Maybe I'll pay more attention next season.

 

[mikethompson]

And there goes Smith....

 

[ssjones]

This feels more like the All-Star game. Does Edmonton have any defense?
