Damn, game 5 is a fun one!

 

[Fire Queen]

an unstoppable force (the rangers folding like a house of cards every postseason) is about to meet an immovable object (the canes folding like a house of cards every postseason)

lol

we might get Knicks-Celtics in the NBA, and Bruins-Rangers in the NHL

While I would be thrilled with that, it's unlikely the Bruins win.

Reverse curse ftw?

 

[Jon]

Reverse curse ftw?

I'll play it one game at a time. Curious to see how they respond with their backs still against the wall tonight at home. They've been monumentally bad at home in elimination games the last few years. They were not good in game 5. Swayman just bailed them out. As did their PK because the refs were still really lopsided bad.

Is this a reference to when Red Sox fans did this to a reverse curve sign?

Well, look who's being the baseball historian!

Or maybe the Cubs

Nah, she's referencing the 2004 Red Sox. She's a bigger baseball fan than she likes to admit.

Lol, no I know, I was just joking in that the Cubs "Reversed the Curse" too.

The Leafs have still yet to reverse the Ballard curse.

They need to hire Mini-Mi as their coach and have a rival Jacques "Le Coq" Grande goalie that your star player feuds with for stealing his wife.

Team needs more sandpaper. More people who are willing to lay down the body and drop the gloves. It's grrrrrrrrrrrrrrit! (says grit like Tony the Tiger)

It wasn't, but I'll claim it was, lol.

Something pretty common in the old GW Sports forum, people downing their teams to try and "reverse curse" them into winning.

I'll say it is anyway. We all know you love baseball.

I'm looking forward to disappointment!

 

[Quagmire]

Let's go Panthers (against the Bs)

Hush you, no one asked for your opinion!

No one likes Florida. Even Floridians.

 

[MC74]

Hoping Boston pulls off the upset. Considering how the league has been behind the Panthers the last 2 years, I want them eliminated so badly.

 

[Quagmire]

Not a Florida fan but I definitely Hate Everything Boston

That's ok. Not all of us can be perfect.

Craig Berube named the next head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

Bruins started off great, then went on a power play and everything went worse.

Apparently we should avoid going on power plays.

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

Hell yeah Zacha! That was a great goal after most of the period was offensive issues for the Bs.

 

[Jon]

I'm sorry for you...

Hell yeah Zacha! That was a great goal after most of the period was offensive issues for the Bs.

That was a pretty goal.

And now the 7th(!!!!!!) too many men penalty on the B's... that's insane... How undisciplined can you be!?

 

[Jon]

The Bruins are nothing if not consistent though...

Strong half a period in the first.

Absolutely abysmal in the second.

Only come alive half way through the third.

Depend on Swayman to save their asses.

 

[MC74]

Need a Bruins and Stars win tonight.

 

[Jon]

Need a Bruins and Stars win tonight.

Need a Bruins/Stars Cup Finals.

Then I'm guaranteed to buys a championship hat this year

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

So, uh... Made it out of the second without already losing. So I guess I'll take it?

 

[Jon]

I've never seen a team as bad at passing as this Bruins team. They are already killing themselves with bad turnovers from horrid passing, but these icings are going to start adding up on them too.

FYI the Sportsnet broadcast is crazy better than the TNT one.

LET'S GO PANTHERS. Knock these damn Bruins out plz

[Jon]

There's those bullshit calls....

The refs were actually ok up to that moment. That was a clean hit by McAvoy. Not the time to give the Panthers a PP on a bad call...

 

[Cam]

Maybe they'll actually take advantage of a power play this time

He hit him up high. Arms went into the dude's head? I'm no hockey buff, but I would assume that's no ok?

 

[Cam]

Whatever that call was evens it out anyway

 

[Jon]

Lol, no they didn't. He hit him in the shoulder and the Panther stumbled. That was a clean hit.

And the ref knew it hence that make up call.

We must be watching a different game

 

[Cam]

Survived the power play! This smells like overtime

 

[Jon]

Listen, if what McAvoy did was a penalty, there would be 100 penalties a game, especially in the playoffs. That's the same thing that happens after every whistle. There was nothing wrong with it.

I'll take your word for it

 

[A Vaguely Ambiguous Username]

I would not like to see OT in this.

I'd rather the Panthers win in regulation lol

 

[Jon]

Got your wish

 

[Cam]

THERE IT IS

 

[Jon]

First time in the playoffs Swayman let it two goals he should have had.

Unfortunate. Hopefully the Rangers embarrass the shit outta these cheating losers.

 

[Cam]

Pull the goalie, let's see what happens
