I love this time of year and the games have not disappointed.
So many great come backs, OTs galore already and it only gets better.

So I can only assume I'm the only person here paying attention this year.

Not at all...just kinda freaking out a little bit here. Had to turn down tix to game 7 because of my daughter's dance recital. That made a convenient excuse...I've had bad luck at game 7s in the past.

Sweet, I've caught 2 Bruins games and they won both.
This game 7 is going to give Coxy a heart attack I'm sure.

They have not played well at all. Never adjusted from reg season play to playoff hockey. Not sure if they burned themselves out chasing the record for most points. That final play was a complete lazy breakdown. Marchand not chasing behind the net for the puck, B's standing around closed in, no one on their man, two panthers out-hustling three Bs. When the puck went behind the net, I yelled at Mrs SF here comes the goal, and sure enough bam 5 seconds later. Winning OT in playoffs is all about the hustle. Who wants it bad enough. As for first period, everyone was holding their sticks too tight. Passing was horrendous - giveaway after giveaway. They didn't deserve to win, that's for sure.

Since my team bowed out, I've been rooting for the Oilers.  Tbh, I stayed up and watched most of their games prior to the Bruins getting knocked out...

And that's wrap for Edmonton.
Pretty sad to have that many chances and not capitalize.

Panthers have been unreal.
I was shocked they did so poorly in the regular season (until March)
