2019 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs Thread: Anti-Tank for Hughes

[bluefan]

I have already accepted my fate for tonight and this series.

[Wulfgang]

I have to say, last year's Caps' Stanley Cup run was special, I hope all of you get to experience your own team's run some year.


but not this year, Back 2 Back Not Suck, fuck you all.

When the Perds went to the finals in 16-17, I was just exhausted even as a simple fan by the time it was all said and done; no idea how hard it must be on the players. Nothing better than a deep run though; all the pundits across the US/CAN talking about your team is great, especially for non-traditional teams like NSH who typically don't get a ton of airtime.

Nervous and excited for the games to start tonight. Honestly think we're pretty mediocre this year; afraid we get exposed early, but hope to be wrong.

Let's see if 3rd times the charm to make my picks. Phone is acting up.

Tampa in 4.
Boston in 7.
Caps in 5.
Pens in 7.

Flames in 5.
Vegas in 6.
Perds in 6. Hate them but I'm gonna pick them over Dallas anyway.
Blues in 7.

I hope this year is the year for you guys! Go Preds!

BOB YOU'RE OFF THE CASE!

[Wulfgang]

What a stupid play by top cop Bob...should be 2-0

[bori]

This is going to be a sweep, lol.

Bobrovsky is off the case!!!

[Wulfgang]

2-0, goal by Cirelli. CBJ is just in over their heads; swapping to PIT/NYI.

[bori]

Aaaand Boborovsky almost let in another one.

[Obsidian]

Well, that didn't take the Islanders long.

[Wulfgang]

Isles! 1-0 after 30 seconds.

[Obsidian]

And it's being reviewed for Offsides. lol.

I hate this fucking rule so much.

[Wulfgang]

Oh he’s definitely offsides; sucks

[Obsidian]

Definitely offside, but this review has been like five times as long as the amount of game we've played.

If it takes you this long to decide, it didn't fucking matter.

3-0 Tampa
