Someone check on Tampa Bay's equivalent version of CH. Stay safe.

This is much more amazing than when the 2003 Ducks swept the defending champion Red Wings. That was a team getting goalied by a guy who was more pad than man: 2-1 3OT, 3-2, 2-1, 3-2 OT. This is one of the best regular-season teams of all time who, after the first period of the first game, have just gotten steamrolled.

You gotta love Stamghost putting up his one goal trailing the game 3-1 and the series 3-0.

Stamkos is a loser. So is their know it all coach.

Absolute run over after the first period of game 1 crazy.

Yup. Tampa never had the lead in the series after the second period in Game 1.

I was afraid the Lightning were going to take their place in history ahead of the 2013 Hawks. Turns out they're next to the 2017 Hawks.

Winnipeg guy just blocked his own shot from going in the goal. Never saw anything like it.

Man the fucking Blues....down by 2 goals going to the 3rd and score 3 goals in the 3rd...the last with 15 secs to win it.

CH your boys better get it together the next 2 games. The Blues need to be out of the playoffs.

Didn't happen. Blues win 3-2.

Yeah that is what I get for pulling for CHs Jets.

Fuck the Blues. Hope they get swept the next round.

Nah- Blues going to the Conference Finals. That's a dangerous team now that they are getting good goaltending. If Schwartz, Perron, and Steen all stay healthy they are a deep team that can roll 3 lines. Even when they were in last place you know they had talent and should have been a good team.

I definitely won't miss watching Winnipeg. There is something off with that team.

Helluva game between SJ and Vegas....short handed goal by SJ in 2nd OT to send it to game 7

Welp, I’m 1-4 in the NHL confidence pool. Don’t think I’ll be winning this one.

I had Washington repeating against Las Vegas and they might both not make the 2nd round. Good thing I don't gamble.

Nice article on Sharp in the Athletic about his developing analyst career and his overall work ethic and dedication to broadcasting. I had noticed how much more polished and confident he sounded compared to last year. It wouldn't be shocking if he is one day their lead studio analyst. I really like the work of Brian Boucher between the benches and I think it was Ray Ferraro doing play-by-play.

Ferraro does color, I think it was Gord Miller on pxp. They've been doing Senators and half the Leafs for a few years now, which is pretty much the top TSN assignment (English Montreal has their own crew and now Winnipeg gets Beyak + whichever color guy doesn't have something better to do). He's considerably more even-handed and demanding than a lot of old-boys-club color guys, maybe because Ferraro was such a miserable prick on the ice that why stop now. Miller is fantastic and should be the lead man stateside when Emrick gives it up. The problem with the Doc/Eddie/Pierre booth, I mean, other than Pierre, is that all three guys are working their gimmicks at the same time, and that's too much gimmick. Gord just calls the game really well, no bullshit.

Speaking of boys' clubs, I, too, have a feeling that Sharp is going to be the main desk guy and Eddie's backup, maybe even as soon as next year. Konroyd has had that job for 12 years now and has never brought anything above replacement level to it. Make him an ambassador.

What a crazy 3rd period. Sucks that I have to be up in 5 hours but I'm going to try to last through one OT.

Well fuck I guess I’m about to watch some playoff hockey. Didn’t anticipate doing that this year. Who we rooting for here Gay?

The Sharks, because they deserve to be rewarded for storming back from Joe Pavelski's head cracking open like a honeydew melon falling out of a shopping cart, and because their fans have been humbled by the Sharks' perennial incompetence; Golden Knights fans are very much in the Mouthy Little Shits bloc of NHL fandom with the Predators, Stars, and Hurricanes
