Title: The Hockey Thread
Post by: BASS on May 01, 2026, 08:18 PM
I don't usually watch hockey, but when I do, I want it to be like this Montreal-Tampa Bay game. TB had a power play in the 3rd in a 0-0 game and hit two shots off the post.

The TB goal tender hads een great as well.

Fuck Buffalo.

Bruins had no business getting this far with this roster but they played even worse than the talent.

Further proof that the best team doesn't always win.

Tampa totally dominated Montreal tonight but two completely fluky goals bit them hard in the ass.

Still an amazing series with every game decided by just one goal, and four of them in OT.

Fuck Montreal.

I don't usually watch hockey until the playoffs.  I have no dog in the hunt.  But I'll second TRS.  Montreal is a bitch-ass team.  Dirty.

I'm gonna root for the Sabres just on principle.

And it's hilarious they lost tonight because of the biggest fluke of a goal I've ever seen.

I think the winner of this series will beat Carolina. The Canes have a mental hurdle at the conference finals they can't clear.

Last nights game was amazing. We were out a local bar close to ball arena. I wasn't sure if avs would come back last period but they did
Title: Re: The Hockey Thread
Post by: Thin Red Swine on May 15, 2026, 12:25 PM
Yeah, Colorado is gonna win another Cup. Montreal will shock Carolina because the Canes have a Razorback-like curse in the conference finals. The layoff will only make that worse.

And Colorado very well may sweep the Finals. Dobes might stand on his head enough for one game, but hard to see more than that.

GAME 7 NOW!!

Let's go!
Title: Re: The Hockey Thread
Post by: Thin Red Swine on May 18, 2026, 07:52 PM
Yeah, Buffalo hasn't been in this position in a LONG time and it shows.

Tuch no-showing makes them rely too much on Thompson, and Zucker to a lesser extent. They need to score in the second or it's not going to happen.

Title: Re: The Hockey Thread
Post by: Thin Red Swine on May 18, 2026, 08:49 PM
Much better effort by Buffalo the last 30 minutes. I think they'll tie it to send it to OT.

It's gotten good.

That last 5 minutes or so was what makes the NHL playoffs so great. And now it's going to go up another level.

I will always say there is nothing like it because of the sheer nature of how a goal can happen so unexpectedly. In other sports, you have a pretty good idea when the winning play is coming. Or at least they're not as split-second.

Title: Re: The Hockey Thread
Post by: Thin Red Swine on May 18, 2026, 09:32 PM
And now I think Buffalo is gonna win. Probably pretty quickly.

Shows what I know. Except the blink-of-an-eye part.

Wow! What a start to the Canadians-Hurricanes series, 3 goals 5 minutes In

Carolina showing serious rust, and that the conference final jinx is alive and well.

19 days off between games will do that.

OT in Montreal,

TNT does a great job with hockey.

Just when I had given up hope of Montreal's demise, Carolina picks up my slack and wins 3 straight.  There may be justice in the world after all.

Wow - Vegas dominated the first 2 periods, but Carolina just flipped the script and tied it.

Even when it's not a Razorback game, I have the touch. From 4-0 to 4-4 in the 3rd period.

Carolina player deflected the rebound off his own goalie and into the goal to lose in double overtime

I wasn't watching tonight because Cabo, but checking the scoring summary. Mitch Marner with a hat trick in 6 minutes is absolutely insane. 

Fuck Vegas.

well it seems that tonight vegas won't have to worry about protecting a lead

who is erik johnson and why did they add him to the intermission show now? very odd.

Unless something changes in the last period, this is a pretty lackluster end to the hockey season. Vegas barely making a whimper.

Just like Carter Hart's girls.
