Red Wing fans finally have some hope and promise for the future.  Here's hoping Stevie Y brings the same success as GM that he did on the ice, as well as his years as the Lightning GM.
...going along with Dragon Attack's Queen thread has been like taking a free class in Queen knowledge. Where else are you gonna find info like that?!

Speaking of Toronto, I read that this is the first time since the early 00's (2002, I think) that the Maple Leafs are the last team from Canada alive in the playoffs.

'04 technically... since both they/Mtl were eliminated in the 2nd round, but the Leafs went 6 games.  Not a surprise really, since they didn't make the playoffs again until 2013, and haven't made it out of the 1st round since '04.

But Calgary made the finals that year, so Toronto still wasn’t the last Canadian team standing.

Oh yeah... rite. Well, there won't be any Canadian teams going on to the second round. No way Boston loses 3 at the Garden.

That was one helluva soft goal by Flower.  Sharks got dominated (from what I can tell of the stat sheet), but now have all the advantage and momentum.

God I hope they win.

Chad has no confidence in the Leafs taking game 7.

I have doubts since I think the Leafs speed are the B's Kryptonite.

Both teams won 2 games on the road.


Which team and impose their will to the other.  for me, the team that scraps for the puck, beats the other team to the puck, the little extra keeping the puck in the opposing zone is the team that wins.

Special teams was the difference yesterday.  Bruins PP 2-2; Leafs, 0-3.

I hope the refs let 'em play tomorrow.  All 5 were chincy penalty calls yesterday.

Best I can hope for is Rask having one of his 'off' games, and Andersen stealing one.

This is what I loved about game 6 between the Blues and Jets. The Refs let them play....the calls that were called were very obvious calls....a couple high sticks and blatant trips. Everything else was old school playoff hockey. Each team knew the line and it was fun to watch.

That was a shit call. I am guessing the reason was the ref lost sight of the puck, even if he hadn't blown the whistle yet, and that ended the play before Ovechkin jammed it in, but if that was true, why was it reviewable?  Didn't make a lot of sense to me.

I'm virtually certain that a disallowed goal because of a blown - or intent to blow - whistle is not reviewable.

Buh bye Preds.

Now, if my two most hated franchises would kindly eliminate themselves tonight, all will be right with the hockey world.

Stars will be tough for the Blues. We don’t match up well against them AND they’ve had our number for a couple seasons. But, it’s the perfect team for the Blues to face because if you’re going to win the cup you need to rise to these type of occasions. Stars aren’t a ‘better’ team than the Blues.....but the Blues will need their best to beat them. Should be a fun series to watch.

My initial response was before seeing the highlights.  I just assumed from goo-goo's comment that it was disallowed because the play was blown dead.  Now having seen the replay, and the fact it was reviewed, it makes no sense.  How does anyone know what is / is not goaltender interference with the way the Situation Room is making calls??  Honestly, the Leafs got away with one on Sunday - Matthews goal was pretty much interference between Hyman/Rask, but the wasn't called as such... and yet this one last night *is* considered interference??  I think the situation room might just be flipping a coin, because rarely do we see calls over-turned ... except for offsides - 1mm over the line, and they'll overturn those all day long.

Honestly,  i prefer the international rules where as soon as a player enters the crease it's a whistle. No possible chance of interference,  and no possible chance of ridiculous issues like the Brett Hull Dallas/Buffalo fiasco. The argument against is that it removes the battle in front of the net, but it really just moves it outside the paint.

I hope these playoffs are the push the league needs to finally make the rule change.

Jeremy Roenicks was saying that Alex pushed Mzarek's pads when trying to hit the puck. Still think it was very bogus the way officials handled that call.

Good God, no. That would be awful.  Too many great goals would be disallowed because of incidental "in the crease" actions.  The way they do it now is great, last night's bizarre ruling notwithstanding.

There wouldn't be any incidental in the crease disallowed goals because it's a dead play as soon as a player enters the crease, regardless of what's going on in the play or which team has possession. The difference in the old NHL rule was that players could be in the paint so long as there wasn't a goal on the play or something stupid like that. The international rule is no skates in the paint period. Goalie interference goal reviews don't exist in the IIHF, so it obviously works.

This is the type of series that turns division-mates into rivals. San Jose/Vegas has the potential to be one of the marquee rivalries in the league.

Yeah, that was definitely one of the craziest games I've ever seen. Vegas got screwed for sure with that bogus penalty, and I'd have more sympathy if that happened to just about any other team. Their fans have had very little to complain about for the team's brief history and so it's about time they start spending some time in Heartbreak Station like the rest of us. The other Game 7 tonight was far less exciting, and even though I picked Boston to win the Cup on my bracket, I was kinda hoping that Toronto could finally slay that beast.

For once the other team choked INSTEAD of the Sharks!

Vegas fans are going to be like Saints fans: blaming the end of their season on a ref.  But they had plenty of chances to take the Sharks down and didn't.

What a game 7.  Here are my thoughts that I posted in another forum as the Sharks was scoring their goals.

Quote
Oh boy.  That's one.  I don't see them getting two more in a row, but the major penalty and Pavelski out could cause the Sharks to deal a lot of pain.

Quote
NO WAY FRIKEN WAY.  This is the Sharks we are talking about.  Like I'm going to believe that they can get three straight in this time of game.  Yes, they were able to complete a huge comeback in 2011 (me and my huge diarrhea problem back then felt such huge pain).

This can't be happening right now. How can a team melt down so hard at a critical time?

As for the major call. Man, that's going to a tough one for the Golden Knights to swallow, but regardless the call was right or not, they should have had the mental fortitude to make good plays to clear the puck and kill the clock.  They had the Sharks reeling.  You just cannot give them life in some ways, shape or form.  They will make you pay hard.  I felt that pain back in 2011 in Game 3 when they played the Kings.  I had horrible diarrhea issues to make it worst so I felt huge pain when the Sharks won that one.  To let in 4 goals in that time frame is just absurd and should never happened.  Reminds me of that time the Kings scored three Power Play goals (and they always suck in the power play) off a major penalty from the Devils (boarding to Scuderi) in Game 6 in 2012 that led them to win the cup, but at least, that call wasn't as controversial as the Pavelski injury that led to the major.

All right, since I didn't have a rooting interest in that Sharks/Golden Knights series for obvious reasons, I can go back to rooting against the Sharks and root for the Avs in this one.
