TB just scored and sucked the air out of the place

 

[alaskanpiper]

Are the Leafs actually coming back?!

It appears that way? But nevermind that! Have you got your pregame drinks ready?

EDIT: Tampa just tied it ?

I'm working tomorrow, so Dr. Pepper it is!

Yikes! I prefer to depress my central nervous system for games. If I got all hopped up on caffeine I’d bite my fingernails down to bloody nubs.

Leafs score again! What a seesaw this third period is.

@Servant King will you be joining us this evening?

Define "joining..."

Well, that depends on a variety of factors, not the least of which is "How many times will the Kings pass the puck before someone realizes that, in order to score, the puck generally has to be shot in the general direction of the opposing net?" Coincidentally, this is the sole factor in determining how much alcohol will be in my bloodstream tonight and, ergo, if I will need to be kept on a resuscitator or not... ?

 

[alaskanpiper]

I’ll be enjoying myself stress free tonight. Good luck boys.

Can't believe the Leafs pulled out a win tonight.

The Kings can shoot just fine - they are just shooting from everywhere. Seemed to have worked in game 4. I hope McDavid woke up this morning and decided he wanted to win the game tonight.

I’ll be enjoying myself stress free tonight. Good luck boys.

My daughter just showed up in the living room like this and said “Look, I’m a goalie!”

 

[alaskanpiper]

And to think I wasn’t worried about her mental health…..?‍

 

[mikethompson]

I know a few NHL teams that would be interested in her next year

Penguins may need her next week!

 

[mikethompson]

Can she shoot? Edmonton could use her on the wing tonight.

Locked in a good one here boys! Remember to breathe!

 

[Servant King]

Right, breathing. Now I remember. Hey, this breathing thing is pretty cool! I haven't felt this happy since I learned how to retrohale.

What a nutty game.

Crazy. Did not expect OT to go down like that. Kudos to the Kings for putting the pedal to the metal right outta the gate. Now 5-2 Oilers win in LA, Kings take game 7 in a surprising 2-0 win.

 

[mikethompson]

I did not expect that game to go to overtime. Hopefully the Oilers can wake up on the road for game 6.

 

[ssjones]

Wow, big Leafs win from WAY behind.
And Boston - what the hell? Deangelo had a great game after Marchand made him look like a chump (and I loved his between period interviews).

YeaAaAahH! Blues Blues Blues!

These "late start" games are going to be the death of me.
