***Official Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread***

Pretty impressive by Vegas that they have reached Conference Final 4 times in 6 years of existence.

Guess I’m rooting for Vegas/Seattle here

Another year without a chance for a Canadian franchise to win the Cup. It's become laughable at this point.

They are masters of circumventing the salary cap.

6 longest NHL game between Florida and Carolina. 125 combined saves in a 3-2 game

Dallas ties it up with 2 minutes left. Heading to OT.

Lot of OT to start

Florida wins in OT again. Up 2-0 in series.

 

[4cy16]

Vegas wins in OT to go up 2-0.

This probably is over-simplifying things, but Vegas just seems to play less nervous than their competition in crunch-time.

Not a playoffs question but an NHL question. My son has started following the Blackhawks but each time we tried watching a game on ESPN+ it said it was blacked out. What is the best way to catch a game? I would like to figure that out before next season. Thanks for the help.

Why is that?

Are you in Iowa? Blackhawks are on NBC sports chicago. Most likely blacked out.

Why is that?

Because Canada loves hockey but yet the Canadian NHL teams continue to disappoint.

Yes, Des Moines area.

I am aware of that, but why can't they win. Is it money? Organizational structure?

Benn deserves to be suspended multiple games for his cross check to the throat to a player laying on the ice last night.

Strip the C and maybe send him packing.

He has a history of this goon ****.

My wife (for some goddam reason) is a huge Stars fan. Even she was appalled by everything from last night.

She wants blood during the playoffs. She's still defending Benn, but what a ****** up move.

Then bail out and leave the team to answer questions?
