Damn that's brutal Woll robbed of the shutout with 0.1s left. Regardless, he's completely turned this series on its head. Incredible performance in goal. 

Game. Fucking. 7. 

HERE'S WILLY.

Jesus, this is one of the worst performances on a PP I've ever seen in the playoffs, just brutal.

All 3 possible game 7s would be in the Western Conference, wouldnt affect the Eastern Conference at all so the NHL/ABC/ESPN can get Game 1 of Rangers/Canes nationally.  

Toronto/Bruins vs. Panthers can start their Game 1 on Monday (if Toronto/Boston goes to a Game 7 on Saturday).

Western Conference can start their Game 1s on Tuesday.  

I couldn't recall if the NHL was in the habit of waiting until a round entirely completed before starting the next round.

If ever there was evidence the league needed to change the playoff format no matter who wins this series one of the top two teams in the confernece will be out after the second round.  

I've been advocating for a while to go back to the playoff matchups based on 1-8 seeding, if anything just to create more variety in the matchups, and also to allow the top teams to fight it out in the conference finals. But looks like the NHL is dead set on fabricating these divisional "rivalries" so unfortunately it's probably here to stay.

A Sunday start seems a bit premature as there's 3 Game 7s potentially happening. I would've expected a Monday start at the earliest.

Just more proof playoffs are a wildcard. 

 

People here are complaining about the Rangers even though they just swept the Capitals yet Carolina just is talked about here as head and shoulders above the Rangers... yet they can't even close out the Islanders properly?

 

It's like people just want to look for any little nitpick to show the team is bad because that's what fits their narrative. 

It's all about the matchups. We've seen so many examples where a team has swept an opponent, only to get swept themselves the next round. Can't draw any conclusions about the next round based purely on how the Canes look against the Isles.

This game was over 7 minutes in, forget about going seven games.

Yea Isles look completely stifled tonight, they've got nothing. Unless the Canes decide to take a nap and sit on this lead, this ends tonight.

Isles need to find a way to win this. Canes aren't bruised and banged up enough. Need this to go to 7!

Whoops not sure what I was thinking clicking on Demko, but yeah this one's Hellebuyck's, the process is just a mere formality. 

Incredibly gutsy effort by the Stars to win 2 games on the road to tie this series up. Now they have all the momentum going back home.

Agreed, but Steve Levy spending the last 8 minutes of the game talking about Stamkos was absolutely terrible. 

Can't stand that guy, he's pathetically cheesy.

FLA just driving that dagger in even deeper now.

Gotta say I'm really enjoying Kevin Weekes as a color guy. Good voice for broadcasting. Calls it like it is, a bit like Valley. Good insight as well. 

And goodnight Tampa Bay, see ya next season.

I want King of the Ring treatment — scepter and crown — and I want it presented to me by @Karan.

 

Funny guy hah!  But it's rather appropriate that you picked Randy Savage as you and him have something in common here: a pair of raisins for balls.

Here's your crown motherfucker

And that's all she wrote!

Peee Peee!

Was just going to say it'd probably take a PP to retake this lead. Let's fucking go! Bread of all people thankfully.
