(+) Yeah! (+)

Well hold on.. Sharks still have nearly a full 5 minute PP and just scored, only down by 2. I think that dirty hit by Eakin might change this, it's a long shot, but the story is perfect.
---

Pavelski died to give the sharks a chance
---

Sharks again, 4 mins left on the PP still. They might do this.
---

i saw the replay, but need to watch a little more closely. the result is horrible, but the hit didn't look like a 5+G penalty to me.
---

Wow this is ass come on vgk
---

Unbelievable. What just happened? I'm shocked.
---

Meltdown of the millenium
---

rds just posted the video. at worst, that's 2 for interference.
---

i have no words.
---

Sharks transforming from chokers to clutch
---

How huge has Couture been for this team?
---

Argue the call but imagine giving up 4 goals in 4 minutes even if you are on the PK.
---

Gives me flashbacks of early MAF in the playoffs just completely melting down. I don't blame him for any goal, but he needs to clutch one of those and hold his team in this.

He had some miserable playoff series for Pittsburgh a few years ago.
---

I dont think you can argue the call
---

and then they don't call that hit.
---

EK just saved a goal and a tie game
---

Vegas on the PP, this very well could be OT.

I don't have confidence in the Sharks PK this late against a superb PP unit
---

What a hell of a way to cap off the 1st round of the playoffs, one more game 7 tomorrow night that I doubt will be anywhere near as entertaining.
---

this is going to be an insane round of bonus hockey.
---

Wow!!!!

You definitely can. Especially as a major.

Sharks might just blow their gift tho
---

Vegas ties it, we are probably seeing OT

Amazing game, I don't even know what else to say.
---

This is so intense, and i'm not even a fan of either team. It's gotta end before the end of the first OT, I got work in the morning.
---

heck of a game. but I don't know if I have it in me to root for columbus the rest of the way. It might be baseball season for me.
---

I didn't really gaf about any teams going in but these have been a playoffs to remember.
---

Wooooooo get fucked Vegas.
---

I can't see the Sharks going deep with Jones, he looked really bad tonight, very shaky.

Still, an amazing game, I almost turned it off before the 3rd and i'm glad I didn't.

This might be the most entertaining first round of playoff hockey I can remember.
---

Well that's some shit. Lol.

What a series.
---

Barclay Goodrow is a warrior's name.
---

now officially 0/7 on picks, too. Carolina tomorrow for the double golden sombrero.
---

What is the furthest the Sharks have gone in the playoffs recently?
---

I liked the idea of a Blues/Vegas series, but oh well. I don't know if I want to see another Blues/Sharks WCF, but I really don't want Colorado to get anywhere near the Stanley Cup.

The Stanley Cup Finals 2016. They lost to the Penguins.

SCF in 15-16, bowing out to the Pens.

I'm pretty convinced that Colorado is going to win regardless of who won this series, but I wanted San Jose to advance more just in case cause I don't wanna see Vegas on another run.

And honestly I think Vegas is fucked already. With Stone's, Pacioretty's, Tuch's, Schmidt's, and Fleury's extensions kicking in next year, Haula coming back and despite Brassard's contract coming off they're already almost $3M over the projected cap, with Karlsson as an RFA, Bellemare as an UFA, Nosek as an RFA, Pirri and Carpenter as UFAs, Schuldt needing a contract, Engelland an UFA, and Subban a RFA.

They're also old as fuck (average age is like 29) and 20-21 looks even worse.
---

Go Canes! If they win I have a better chance of winning my draft, plus all our first round picks would be eliminated already!
---

Double OT and this police chase at the same time!!!!

I can't take it!!!!
---

Round 1 just doesn't want to end!

Ignore I said anything...
---

new champs!
---

God damn, the Blackhawks would be cleaning up in this wacky 1st round.
---

And NONE of our first round picks in my fantasy draft move on. XD
---

lmao of course Carolina won.

I picked Sharks and Islanders, my other 6 were wrong.

Who the hell is even the favorite now? Boston? NYI? It's so wide open now, we could be in for a really shocking cup final when it's all said and done. Imagine a 7th seed vs 8th seed championship.
---

ALL wildcard teams advance, Carolina, Dallas, St. Louis and Columbus. The literal bottom 4 teams of the 16 that made playoffs.
---

Colarado, not St. Louis. St. Louis was the 3 seed in the Central.

You're right, my bad.
---

The Blues aren't too big of a shocker tbh. They were one of, if not, the best teams after New Years, and the #1-3 seeds for that division were decided that last day.
---

guess nobody (myself included) was ready for round 2 yesterday?
---

I was watching Endgame.
---

I'm getting real tired of late games. Blues had an 8:30 game yesterday (even losing the first few minutes thanks to another game's overtime), and a 2:00 game tomorrow.
