    That game just ended 3 minutes ago! That was a quick post.
    And yes. Leaving the empty netter sitting there on the goal line would have been a powerful statement.

    Go Avs! 7-1 so far. Let's get that 8th win boys! One shift at a time lads, one shift at a time...

    As long as they lose at least 5 games overall…

    @herzalot ... no comment on the game tonight? :whistling:

    I tuned in for the last 5 minutes hoping for some excitement seeing it was 3-2. Boy did both teams deliver. Great ending.

    My Flames are probably on the out tomorrow night unless Markstrom remembers how to play goal. So we'll likely be counting on the Avs to put the Oilers in their place (out of the playoffs).

    I was pretty torn about about a substantial personal loss, so I wasn't too concerned about the game. :(

    Another barn burner at the Saddledome. I’m surprised Darryl Sutter’s team tried to play run and gun with the Oilers. I assume he would’ve coached the Flames with more structure and discipline.

    I’m rooting for the Oilers to break the McSorley curse.

    Sorry to hear, hope everything is alright. If it makes you feel any better I'm an Avs fan as of an hour ago : )

    I always liked Jackie J, but it seems like he is on the ice for every goal against the Avs...as it was 11 years ago when he defended for the Kings.

    GO AVS!

    In other hockey news, the USA made the semifinals of the World Hockey Championship. They play at 4:20 am on NHL Network tomorrow, Saturday. I'll record it and watch it maybe Sat night.

    @Rumpled, if you meet me in half an hour for a Ken Burton/El Prieto Figure 8, we'll be done in time to watch it live. *~~~:whistling:

    Rangers just THUMPED the Hurricanes 5-2 to pull even and head for a game 7.

    @Redman has to be ecstatic!

    So it will be the Lightning or Rangers/Hurricanes vs the Avalanche or Oilers for the Stanley Cup finals. I know what battle all of the IMTB Hockey Faithful are rooting for!

    The Lightning are going to wreck whoever they play in the East. I expect the Av's to take care of Edmonton in 5. Then I have to decide who I dislike more to root against....the Massengil product Kadri or Corey Perry.

    I disliked Corey Perry when he was a Duck. I root for him now as a journeyman well past his prime who still flashes moments of brilliance and playoff grit in the slot and between face-offs.

    Rangers are 3 minutes away from dispatching the Hurricanes, leading by 3. Sweet mother of Hockey, this is setting up quite nicely, isn't it?

    Oilers v Avalanche on one side, Lightning v Rangers on the other. BUCKLE UP!

    The West is up first tomorrow night. Go AVS!

    EDIT: Rangers win 6-2 in a game that wasn't as close as the score indicates. Started out 4-0 Rangers. In Carolina. Well that's just rude!

    LET"S GO RANGERS!!!!!!! Puck yeah!!!

    I am hoping the time off for the bolts works against them. They're a 2 time defending cup team, nothing about this series is going to be easy. But, I do believe the canes were more of a threat than the bolts. Rangers in six. Even if we don't go to the cup finals, it's all good. The Rangers weren't even picked to make the playoffs. They have far exceeded any expectations there were for this season. Anything past the post season is extra credit and learning experience. The tough part will be the off season and trying to figure out how to keep the core nucleus together for an even stronger run at the cup next season.

    As for the west coast match up. I think McDavid is going to school the Av's and McKimmon. Connor, Leon, and Evander are freaking lethal. Smith is definitely a liability, but can play like no other if he's in the zone.... IF. Oilers in five.

    LET"S GO RANGERS!!!

    Wow! I just saw the score @ Pepsi Center tonight. 8-6 is 1970s hockey.

    Pepsi Center? That's so 2020! It's now the Ball Arena...

    I'll let you make your own jokes. :facepalm:

    7-4 going into the 3rd. That's important to know. I didn't see the game, but I would guess neither team is happy with its performance. Playoff hockey isn't supposed to be that loose.

    Avs must be in trouble only outscoring Oilers 8-6 rather than 9-6 like the Flames did in game 1. Watch out in game 2! :)

    The scoring last night was All-Star game numbers. It will be interesting to see what happens in the cup final. West coast is scoring like crazy on a lot of soft goals. East coast has brick wall goal tending that doesn't let anything by. I REALLY want the Rangers to win, but I dont think they're there yet. IF they go to the cup, west coast wins. IF Tampa goes it stays in the East. Oilers or Avalanche? It's like they're the same players wearing different uniforms playing against eachother.

    ^^^^^ they evidently heard you and were clearly motivated by your powerful chant!

    6-2 Drubbing of the double defending champs. Congrats! :thumbsup: :cool:

    Our turn...

    Go AVs!!!

    Edit: Avs won game 2, 4-0. C'mon Avalanche keep it going. Six to go - one game at a time, one shift at a time! :thumbsup:

    I may have overlooked the abilities of this ColoRADo team. Last nights game was impressive, comletely shut down McDavid, Draisitl, and Kane. Zero chances from all of them. Anytime McDavid got the puck he was immediately attacked, no room at all. Draisitl is getting frustrated and its starting to show. Looking for the Oilers to have two strong home games to even up the series. It's not over until someone wins 4.

    The Rangers will be facing a different Lighting team from what they saw onWednesday night. This will be the true test... for both teams. Can NYR keep the momentum going and get another win to make it 2 - 0? Or, will the bolts dust of the "rust"? My guess is both, Tampa shows up but NYR prevails.

    LETS GO RANGERS!!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!! LETS GO!!!!!!!!!

    I like where this appears to be headed... @Redman and I may end up having to watch a couple of games together! I may have to go to UT to do that though. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

    One game at a time, one shift at a time. :thumbsup: Go AVs!

    Maybe this post was only a year premature - we can hope! Not about the result, but about the matchup.

    let's hope so, i'd love to see it. I'd still say Av's have the adavantage, other than goaltending.

    tonights loss was rough, bad penalties cost the game,. giving away a two goal lead. Tampa is dirty similar to Pittsburgh, lots of cheap shots behind the play.
