so Pavelski makes his return in Game 7 and scores first

and then Colorado has a goal taken away due to offsides review. bad change by Landeskog

[mr. leisure]

I was wrong about Martin Jones , he has been money lately .

[hotcross]

Injury reports are tough to come by during the playoffs. The truth starts coming out after the fact...

Roope Hintz of Dallas suffered a broken foot blocking a shot during game 6. He went on to play 24-minutes in game 7.

Steven Stamkos of Tampa Bay had a dislocated shoulder for the opening round series against Columbus.

Nathan MacKinnon of Colorado had a serious injury to his shoulder falling into the boards during the game 7 loss to San Jose. He returned into the game as soon as possible, but was a serious tear and/or dislocation.

third period of boston/carolina was crushing

I was wrong about Martin Jones , he has been money lately .

He has been money since game 5 of the Vegas series. I think a lot of experts continue to doubt San Jose because of their suspect goaltending but Jones has stepped up of late.

MacKinnon you could tell wasn't 100%

he came back only because it was Game 7

Football players (American Football) play with some injuries, broken bones.

Hockey players do.

NBA Basketball...not so much.

Blues / Sharks should be an epic series .

[yisman]

unexpectedly high scoring Blues game there

[jrgum3]

Well played game by the Sharks. I think if they play like that then they might just bring the cup home and I'll cash in on my future wagers at Heritage and of course in the SBR Book where I got +2000.

GL , Boston / SJ looks like the most likely finals matchup .

[hotcross]

Game 2 about to begin in San Jose. Projecting possible goal/assist scorers tonight:

David Perron, Sammy Blais for St.Louis
Evander Kane for San Jose

[yisman]

Couture has 19 points this postseason. Second is 15 (multiple players).
Couture has 13 goals this postseason. Second is Hertl (9).

[mr. leisure]

Lets see how Carolina responds tonite .

The Hurricanes are undefeated in PNC Arena this postseason .

[yisman]

Justin Williams losing his mind out there

The Canes are done .

thornton 2 goals in a playoff game

first time in career

[mr. leisure]

The Blues got screwed tonight .

[jrgum3]

Seems like the Sharks have Lady Luck on their side this year. I have futures on them so obviously I’ll take it but there’s no doubt the Sharks have benefited from some controversial calls all playoffs.

[BarkingToad]

The Blues got screwed tonight .

Sure did! What else could 4 refs be watching on the ice when all the action was in front of the net? I guess Blues will get a fake apology from the league like Vegas got.

[hotcross]

^^and right after the OT goal the refs all four of them gathered up for what 30 seconds or so, presumably asking if anyone saw the handpass???

What handpass? I mean why gather together to discuss but none of them saw it? Obviously at least one of them saw it, or would be nothing to discuss, right?

[yisman]

Islanders sweep Penguins
Hurricanes sweep Islanders
Bruins sweep Hurricanes

??? sweep Bruins??????

[yisman]

can't believe all the officials missed that hand pass in Blues/Sharks

They were all over the hand passes in Game 4 of the ECF

[jrgum3]

Sharks lose a tough one tonight but at least they got one in St. Louis and return home 2-2. Still feel good about their chances to take the series but one has to wonder if this series goes 7 will they have anything left to beat the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals?

[mr. leisure]

Bruins will be the well rested favorite in the finals .

[yisman]

Bruins hoping to get Chara, Grz, and Miller back

Dunn missed Game 4 for STL. Let's see if he can make it back for Game 5. If not, Gunnarsson again.

[BarkingToad]

What's the injury status of Erik Karlsson?

[yisman]

So Hertl, Pavelski, and Karlsson
how many will play in Game 6?

Erik missed the third period of Game 5



11 years since a player last had multiple hat tricks in a postseason (Franzen)


schwartz did it

[hotcross]

Blues haven't won 3 games in a row yet in this postseason.

Sharks lost 3 games in a row against Vegas, but then won 3 in a row to steal that series.

Sharks also have been shutout in each previous series, but bounced back to win their next game.

[jrgum3]

The Sharks have been in this situation before but I think St. Louis is better than Vegas and it will be tough to win game 6 at their place. Even if they go on to do that game 7 will be difficult since St. Louis plays so well on the road.

[mr. leisure]

St. Louis outshot the Sharks by a 36-10 margin in the 2nd and 3rd period of game 5 .


Wow , what a stat !!

[hotcross]

^^ yeah getting outshot like that at home...means they didn't try very hard
