What I don’t understand is where did all these 2nd period commercials come from?? 

 

[Nick Vermeil]

My nightmare is to be that guy that has to fix the glass in the middle of the game. 

 

[Courtjester]

Ok would you expect anything else but OT?

 

[Capella]

JFC Sergachev 

 

[Courtjester]

Great game one!!! One down 

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Burakovsky, of course. 

 

[Capella]

Bolts got outplayed for the first half of the game, gave up a 5 on 3 goal (probably won’t see another of those this series) and Vasy gave up two softies and it still got to OT. I dunno, I don’t feel too bad about it. They’ll be fine. 

 

[The_Man]

Capitals legend Burakovsky owns Tampa Bay in the playoffs 

 

[kupcho1]

Burakovsky, of course. 

Not coincidentally, I had him on my 2018 FFA NHL playoff pool and I have him on this year's roster as well.

I blame Disney

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Shea Weber traded for Dadonov. Feels like a weird fit for Montreal to me, unless they flip him elsewhere. 

 

[Courtjester]

Pumped for tonight!! Dipped our toes in the ticket pool, but there is no way I am paying a grand each for nose bleed seats. Family settled for club seats at the Rockies tomorrow 

I think this is going to be another 1 (maybe one empty netter) 2 goal deciding game.

Went to buy an Av’s hat today  because my other one is shot and the poor kid at Scheels was just overwhelmed. He couldnt’t keep the area stocked with shirts and jerseys fast enough. It was like locust snatching everything up. 

 

[Zegras11]

Holy domination...

 

[kupcho1]

If this was a fight, they might stop it. Colorado rolling

 

[Zegras11]

Doesn't look like they are playing Dallas or Montreal this time.

 

[ChiefD]

This series is far from over.

 

[kupcho1]

I don't think this question is ever been asked before, but do you pull vasilevsky?

 

[kupcho1]

Doesn't look like they are playing Dallas or Montreal this time.

So you're saying the last two deserve an asterisk. I think you're on to something

 

[kupcho1]

That's vasilevsky is starting to resemble the goalie in slap shot

 

[Zegras11]

I don't think this question is ever been asked before, but do you pull vasilevsky?

I would pull him.

 

[Zegras11]

So you're saying the last two deserve an asterisk. I think you're on to something

I would never say that. Asterisk's are dumb.  

 

[Zegras11]

Glad to see Cogliano playing well.  Parros so ####ed him on his playing streak.

 

[kupcho1]

They just showed a picture of vasilevsky, which I never seen before. He looks like Dim which is never a good thing. And that's all I've got for now my droogs

 

[Dickie Dunn]

The scary part:

MacKinnon, Makar, Landeskog and Rantanen have a combined 8 SOG and only two assists (both for Rantanen), and it's still 5-0.

Yeesh.

I'd never seen a pic of him either.

Yeah, the spear carriers are getting it done

Andrei Vasilevskiy allows 3 first-period goals in back-to-back games for the first time in his career

 

[Mile High]

I was at the game where Forsberg got his hat trick in the finals. Game 2 vs Florida. I think the Av’s won 7-0.

Edited :It was 8-1

 

[Zegras11]

So dumb to leave him in.  Nothing positive can come from it

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I mean, the alternative is Elliott. Cooper must secretly be an FFA reader.

 

[Capella]

Doesn't look like they are playing Dallas or Montreal this time.

I mean that’s kind of Colorado’s fault isn’t it 

 

[Capella]

Ftr, Vasy doesn’t like being pulled. He is very much against it. 

 

[Zegras11]

I mean that’s kind of Colorado’s fault isn’t it 

is it vs MONT?

Ftr, Vasy doesn’t like being pulled. He is very much against it. 

Coach Vas!!  LOL

 

[Wingnut]

It was a good run, Lightning. 

 

[Capella]

Coach Vas!!  LOL

I’m pretty sure Cooper, a man who has won 11 straight series, knows his team better than you may. 

 

[Zegras11]

I’m pretty sure Cooper, a man who has won 11 straight series, knows his team better than you may. 

Of course he does.  He also made a mistake not pulling him.  You pull the goalie to change what's going on in the game. Maybe build so mo for the next game.  That's didn't happen. It go worse.

 

[chet]

Bolts are going to get swept. 

 

[Grahamburn]

Just wait until the Avs get into the Florida humidity! It’s stifling.. 

 

[Capella]

Out of town on vacation and can’t even sell my tickets for face value tonight. One of the worst fanbases in sports, we deserve nothing. 

 

[falguy]

I hope TB wins tonight just so we have a series.  I want more hockey. Avs win tonight and it's more or less a done deal.

 

[Ben & Jerry's]

I put $300 on the Avs ML (Pickem -110) and $100 on Avs (- .5) 1st period (+175).  I think a sweep is on tap.

 

[Courtjester]

I have $$ invested in McKinnon any time scorer and Vasy under 32 saves—I think TB wants to purposely slow things down tonight and reduce scoring opportunities for Colo. 

 

[Grahamburn]

I was actively cursing at Kucherov for turning it over and then he does that. 

Keep it up. Need 6 to beat these guys. 

 

[Courtjester]

Avs just not looking crisp tonight. Now there is a goalie quandary 

 

[Grahamburn]

Ok. Let’s make it 7 or 8 boys. 

 

[Capella]

wow the bolts are also a good team who could’ve ever guessed it 

 

[Grahamburn]

Just wait until the Avs get into the Florida humidity! It’s stifling.. 

 

[Capella]

Lol at thread title. I’m ok even if they lose. 
 

Coop said Kuch likely to play tomorrow. Point highly doubtful. I think his season is done. 

 

[Courtjester]

Absolute BS goal. You hit the goalie in the face with your stick, his mask goes flying off and then you are allowed to score to still score? 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Absolute BS goal. You hit the goalie in the face with your stick, his mask goes flying off and then you are allowed to score to still score? 

Yes. Apparently the rule is "if there's an immediate scoring chance, play continues".
