If Quenneville had stayed on the market a few months longer I think we would/should have made a serious push. Not sure what the options are now.

I never liked Marleau when he was with the Sharks, or with the Leafs. Get rid of him.

All in for Islanders and St.Louis.

I can't bring myself top cheer for team that's already won it, otherwise I might pull for the Isles too. They've been a good story this year.

I’ve been cheering the Blues as my secondary team for a while. Enough heartbreak for that team. Make the finals first 3 years of existence but never again since 1970. It’s time for them to get the cup.

Vegas is up 3-0 with 15 minutes left in the 3rd.

If they hold on, that means the top 4 teams in the Western conference was bumped out in the first round. And in the Eastern conference, the first place team is out and the 3rd place team is TBD tomorrow.

Yea, make the regular season shorter - since the season doesn't really mean much anyway.

Berklon · #**1986** Posted **Apr 24, 2019, 4:29 AM**

Holy shit... SJ scores 4 goals in like 4 minutes and takes the lead.

Unbelievable...

Berklon · #**1988** Posted **Apr 24, 2019, 4:38 AM**

They tie it up with 47 seconds left and it goes to OT.

Sharks take it.

Black Star · #**1991** Posted **Apr 24, 2019, 5:50 AM**

Never seen anything like this in my life.

SJ down 3-1 in the series...they come back to tie the series. SJ is down 3-0 in game 7. Score 4 power play goals in 4.01 min and take the lead. Vegas comes back to tie before regulation is over. SJ wins in OT....bloody unreal lol.

theman23 · #**1992** Posted **Apr 24, 2019, 5:51 AM**

And to think, 4 of those goals were scored on a major penalty that should have been a 2 minute minor at most. Yikes.

TownGuy · #**1993** Posted **Apr 24, 2019, 9:07 AM**

Well...at least Toronto isn't a one trick pony and there is the Raptors to cheer for...

Couldn't care less about NBA.

Same as the Blue Jays, just because they are based in Toronto, why is it so incumbent on the rest of Canada to support them? The GTA has enough people to support their local team.

It's not incumbent, but people do. Evidenced by massive Jays crowds in Seattle, Minnesota, etc.

There was a survey on the Raptors subreddit a couple years back that showed almost 30% of members were outside the GTA.

Fair enough. I guess I'll no longer see posts whining and moaning about Canadians not supporting the CFL from now on.

esquire · #**1997** Posted **Apr 24, 2019, 1:36 PM**

^ Maybe there are still massive Jays crowds in Seattle, but Minnesota is a bit of a stretch. Unless you are talking about the Jays heyday in the early 90s, I think back then they used to draw a noticeable number of Jays fans out to the Metrodome.

Acajack · #**1998** Posted **Apr 24, 2019, 1:39 PM**

I don't like the Leafs, but I like the Bruins even less.

This time is weird because I'm not even angry at the Bruins anymore. Apart from Chara's quesitonable plays all series, we were the dirty team with Kadri's suspension. This one is all on the Leafs.

Babcock and his special teams coaches threw this one away.
