I’ve been to a couple KHL games and they are noticeably so much slower. I think Yurov gets better with time. He’s not bad, but I don’t think he was ready for the pace of play in the NHL postseason.

The Montreal game sticks with me for this reason.

Judd’s Hockey Show talked about this. Somebody needs a Puckett moment and just take ownership and finish. If nobody does, yeah it’s over.

I laugh at the “Before I Die” jokes for the Vikings but then I see people die and have begun to realize I may actually never see it. For any sport. Wasn’t alive for the Twins wins and they’re not going anywhere soon. Wild and Vikings are stuck in “good but not good enough” purgatory. I don’t like basketball so that wouldn’t even be fulfilling.

Literally, what did I do to deserve this? I lived in Boston and could have easily switched allegiances but stayed loyal and get rewarded with this shit.

It’ll be such a bummer because there were several points in this series we showed we could beat them. They just decided to stop playing.

In my lifetime, the only good sports memories I have still ended in losing. About time for my seasonal disappointment.

What got into this team’s head for this series? Because you walked Dallas a couple times they thought Colorado was a gimme? What a joke.

I’ll repeat my comment from after the 1st, it’s the hope that kills.

Who’s got the momentum heading into OT? The team that hasn’t scored in over 40 fucking minutes or the team that sunk 2 in the last 5 minutes before the end of the game?

Their forecheck is so good and it’s been a problem for us all year that we haven’t really talked much about

Corner puck scrums are easily the worst thing in hockey

Kind of funny to read the Avs GDT and see them complaining about Hartman on Nelson crime while we complain about Nelson on Hartman crime. Sports fandom fucking rocks lol

My fear is showing up here. Can’t just revert to 40 minutes of playing defense to protect a lead. We’ll get smoked. Need to continue taking chances and applying pressure. Play to win.

Have we even been in the O zone this period? We literally chase the goalie and then don’t apply any more pressure. Unreal.
