It’s just nice to see the bully get punched in the face in the first game ,to set the tone..and put some doubt in their heads. .which makes for great hockey. Can’t wait for game 2..And Go Celtics !!

Yeah it's good to be the victor. Enjoy it. I would. It's all in good fun, at least I hope it is because that's how I took it. I know it would have been if I had said it. I've always felt that if you're thin-skinned then maybe hockey is not the sport for you. On that topic though I don't know that I would call them bullies. It is hockey. After all. They're all kind of bullies. It's a bully kind of sport. My cousin-in-law is a Rangers fan and we've been going back and forth In times past. He chirps me, I chirp him. It's a lot of fun except that now he's out of the country until after game 4. I told him well. At least you'll be back in time to see the Lightning when it in game 5:roflmao
I am from the Northeast....all we do is bust balls...lol...all in fun. But sometimes the written word doesn’t come across that way...hehe

:roflmao:rofl2::roflmao:rofl2:
Phewwww. It's all in fun for me. You know how some people get these days though.
Well I think that you could argue that the Oilers got skunked tonight. 4-0 was a pretty decisive win.
Watched my Celtics smoke the Warriors in their Barn…120- 108 . Game one goes to the Celts
One Happy Avalanche Fan here
Tampa has no answers for the Rangers ….Rangers take care of home ice..lead the series 2-0 and hands Tampa its 2 Nd loss in a row.

Looks like a Bad Match-up….
Credit to the Rangers. They have figured out a way to get around the Lightning this year. Although I wouldn't say they had no answer. They answered pretty well in the last part of the third.
Well, the day lady ain't singing yet
Maybe Tampa should play with their goalie pulled more often …..lol
This series just keeps giving :)
Before 1995 and the Avalanche first season, I was actually a Rangers fan hehehe
I'm not supposed to say anything but they told me they're going to let the Rangers think they're winning. Then they're going to pull the rug right out from under them.
All part of their grand plan. They've got them right where they want them.
Good job by the Avs. Damn the Oilers and.their fans are spoiled sports! Here's an idea. Instead of getting mad and leaving early (fans) or throwing final minute penalties (players) how about you concentrate on your game.

Fill me in …The guy in the plaid jacket …Did he lose a bet …and shaved his head like that ?
Oh, Paul Bissonnette (aka Paul Miss The Net)? I missed the beginning also but I think it had to do with the Avs scoring first. They showed him getting the skinning in between periods but I don't know for sure.
Attachment 342442
Well, I'd say they had an answer today.
Don't count em out. They call them the Tampa Bay find a way for a reason.
Didn’t watch it….was a beautiful day here today …and a 3:00 hockey game with no dog in the fight…well yah know. … Did Tampa lead wire to wire at home…or was it a struggle ?
Just saw the high lights on ESPN….looks like Tampa was chasing all night long….and had some Puck Luck in the last minute of regulation. Not a series until someone loses a home game…
Is it getting to be time ??
Had to dust off my old Cup Pucks hehehehe
No Ray Bourque cup ?? Heck the city of Boston granted his wish to pursue a Stanley Cup aftah 20 years here in Bruins land.....and the City of Boston stoop to a new level...and threw a Big Street Party for him....as he swung the cup in the streets of Boston.....beat that !
Well, I guess we all see what we want to see. They took some bad penalties and paid for it early in the second and then outplayed the Rangers for the rest of the game. Shots were not even close: 30-52 and the flow of the play never tipped back toward New York once the Bolts got back on their footing.
You get used to this being a Lightning fan. Every year since 2019 the 'casters are saying how this team or that team is going to hand Tampa their arse but then the bolts will win it.
Keep in mind that TBL swept the highest scoring team in 26 years WITHOUT the highest scoring player in the playoffs for the last 3 years straight (Brandon Point) AND they just beat a team that HAD a 5-0-0 record over them this year without him also.
I don't know who is going to win but I'm just saying that they surprise a lot of people. We'll know soon enough.
Tampa had to play like their hair was on fire in game 3…..or go down 0-3. Game 4 should be a beauty.
And that's what they did and why they are the 2 time reigning champs
And “ IF “ they lose game #4 ….Tampa Is Toast
Attachment 342477
Guess we'll see won't we?
When is game 4 ..and what time ?
Tomorrow 6/7 at 8:00EST
Be there or be square.
Attachment 342479
Congrats to the Avs.
Attachment 342478
Well, I was right on one prediction.
Now comes the waiting game,, The longer TBL vs NYR goes the healthier and rested the Aves become LOL
Maybe. The Lightning are better if they play right through. Too much rest and it turns to rust.

Boy I love hockey! Best of 7 is a long row to hoe and ANYTHING can happen at ANY point. The Lightning led the whole way this game...but you just don't ever know. Last night was a prime example. The oilers fought back like a possum backed into a corner....but they couldn't quite pull it out in OT.
Lightning go from down 2 to tied at 2. Still you just never know. It's a nail biter all the way to the end.
Well…someone has to lose a home game ….or the hand writing is on the wall.
Yep, but the fun part is finding out who.

So ..this smug prick ,says to the girl interviewing him ,during a break. “ We beat the Ranger goalie clean ..twice…and hit the post twice…it should be 2-0 “. So now we’re counting a hit post as a goal ? I always said…the pipes are part of the goalies equipment. Hey Bub …it only counts when it goes in the net…this ain’t Horse Shoes.
Although I agree that if they hit the post it didn't go in. May be unnerving for the goalie but if you hit the post, you missed. Still, it's only smug if you can't back it up.
Igor, Igor, Igor?...
Igor who?
Attachment 342549
And once they were beaten they want to throw hits after the horn?
Serves them right that three of them take home an ass whippin'

Well, there's your loss at home.
You don't win two back to back for no reason.
The Fat lady is clearing her throat
Just coming back to say...
She ain't singing yet though. It's still up for grabs. That's the beauty of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
