Eastern Conference Finals Gamethread

Sawftie

 

[The Napkin]

That was like one of those hit the hole from center ice and win a car sized holes. Puck had eyes.

 

[brienc]

I can hear the "Talbot would have stopped that" cries from my apartment.

 

[cshea]

Downie save was game 5, Doc.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Bruins history....

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Red looking right at high stick

 

[johnmd20]

Rangers don't deserve Henrik.

 

[The Napkin]

Whistles away boys

 

[Ed Hillel]

Why did he spin instead of shoot?

 

[cshea]

Goal there if Nash is a righty

 

[Ed Hillel]

Whistles away boys

 
Oh, they'll find them again.

 

[hitatater]

Tampa weathering the Ranger rush.  Hope TB turns things around.

 

[brienc]

Tampa is gonna need another goal to win this.

 

[cshea]

Palat!!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Wow!

 

[hitatater]

That is an exciting, offensively talented line for TB!

 

[Dummy Hoy]

What a great play by Johnson.

 

[The Napkin]

Tampa is gonna need another goal to win this.

Oh. Hi there.

 

[The Napkin]

Goalie assist!

 

[The Napkin]

Yeah, that's a great net drive

 

[cshea]

Haha wtf was Hagelin doing there?

Crazy that Johnson was a UDFA. What a player.

 

[shawnrbu]

When will NBC show us sad Rangers fans?

 

[johnmd20]

Rangers on life support now. They haven't scored a goal at home in about 575 minutes.

 

[hitatater]

And top shelf on the goal, after getting stoned by the King's legs for 2 and a half periods.

 

[brienc]

Oh. Hi there.

One more please.

 

[cshea]

Time to pull the King.

 

[Huntington Avenue Grounds]

Tampa is too fast and skilled for the Rags D to cheat too much.
 
Woooo, pulling Henrik already!

 

[cshea]

Stralman is a stud. Big mistake by the Rangers to keep Giradi over Stralman.

 

[ifmanis5]

Guy at work who is a huge Rangers fan said he'll get divorced if the Rangers lose Game 7 because "I'll have to do something." Get those lawyers ready.

 

[hitatater]

Good hockey all around.  No cheapies, no penalty questions.  Nice game!

 

[The Napkin]

Lightning strike twice; Bishop takes King

 

[cshea]

Good for Tampa. I thought they were the best team in the East all year.

 

[Huntington Avenue Grounds]

Glad to see the last or "Rangerstown" gear on my way to work.  

 

[NYCSox]

Suck it Alain and Ulf!

 

[GraysonGrandeGonads]

Bishop becomes the first non-assh*** to have 2 shutout game 7 wins in same playoff year.

 

[ifmanis5]

I do feel for Henrik but this is a great result in my world. Go home bitter, Rangers fans.

 

[cshea]

I do feel for Hank.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Thank you, Tampa. Always good to see the Rangers eliminated.

 

[Salem's Lot]

Do you guys hear how depressed Emrick sounds? I wonder who NBC was rooting for.

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Another Rangers loss tonight would be nice

 

[DanoooME]

I feel bad for the Prince of Wales trophy.  Nobody wants to touch it any more.  It needs love too!

 

[ifmanis5]

Do you guys hear how depressed Emrick sounds? I wonder who NBC was rooting for.

Yeah, they are such homers for them. Couldn't be happier for all the marketing guys who were already counting on a Rangers final but are now pissed off. And they'll never celebrate the Lightning for their accomplishment tonight (a clean sheet on the road in a Game 7) they way they would ballwash the Rangers if they had won.

 

[54thMA]

Congrats to the Devil Rays and those yahoo's down in Tampa; they've got a great team, will give them that.
 
Sorry about your Rangers John......................

 

[mikeford]

Life is great. 94 and nevermore. 

 

[Fred in Lynn]

I feel bad for the Prince of Wales trophy.  Nobody wants to touch it any more.  It needs love too!

If I was there, I'd be touching the shit out of it. Enjoy the moment. The supernatural is for witches.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

I was almost rooting for the Rags just so the Flyers pick (they own Tampa's first) was a little bit better, but I was conflicted the whole time at the idea of hoping they'd win. Now that they lost, and at home, I think I can handle picking one or two lower just to have the satisfaction of it. And yeah, sorry about your loss, John.

 

[NYCSox]

Broken foot for McDonagh? Man that's a tough dude.

 

[TFP]

Broken foot for McDonagh? Man that's a tough dude.

Hockey players are unreal.

 

[brienc]

Life is great. 94 and nevermore. 

There is no schadenfreude like Rangers fan misery....

 

[LogansDad]

Guy at work who is a huge Rangers fan said he'll get divorced if the Rangers lose Game 7 because "I'll have to do something." Get those lawyers ready.

Just tell him about mine getting sealed tonight, that should help.
 
Also, that was a way better game than 2-0 shows.  Might be because of earlier developments, though.
