Burned some leaves right before OT. Usually eat my leaves these days but I was like fuck it.
Game 7 - We Win
- Thread starter TheRealness
- Start date
My son got married today. Just got back to the hotel to see the score. Sounds like I missed a tense one! Glad they pulled it out.
That looks like Boston after the Celtics lost in 2010. Bad fuckin night I’ll never forget.
Pasta calls for it on his way up the ice. Don’t know if he wanted it that deep, but wow.
I'll be he wanted it in that corner so he could forecheck. Puck came right out into the slot.
In Toronto, there was a great disturbance in the Force...As if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
My son was in tears. He was there for game 5 last year and this year. I can’t overstate how much this means to us.
Toronto hasn't taken a loss this bad since Kendrick dropped his 3rd diss track during the 1st period.
It was quite intentional. Pasta called for the puck with his stick, said put it there, and then magic.
It was really hard to recognize with last year's trauma hanging over everything that happened in the last week, but that was a hell of a damn series.
I am sorry for my behavior.

As a casual hockey fan, I like McDonough because he does a great job keeping up with the action.

I decided to work my side gig tonight instead of watch. I just couldn’t watch a repeat of last year. I listened on streaming radio even after I got home when OT started and could have turned on the TV. Took less than 2 minutes for the OT winner!! Now to watch the recording 
I think he is one of the best all time broadcasters. He has done NHL, college basketball, MLB, NFL, college football and golf.
This. Marner comes off the bench late and misses his assignment on 88. Game over.
Marner just played his last game as a leaf.
Not a pucks fan so this is the first game I've watched since last year's game 7 and I was thinking throughout that his voice and flow and the way he annunciates (his timing especially) might best suited for hockey than anything else. Which I mean as a tremendous compliment bc I think he's great at everything else.
EDIT: I don't understand how guys like Jim Nantz have better careers or are considered better at announcing than Sean McDonough.
If I owned the Bruins, I would ask him what he wanted to do all 82 games, and I would fucking pay it.
Hurley is one of the good Boston media guys... doesn't do a lot of bullshit trolling of the fan base or teams...
It’s fun to point out but the reality is it was a freak bounce and Reilly was a touch slow because he turned in vs out when the puck was outside him. Marner passes him off as he should. The center ice guy gets the trail and the right dman is irrelevant. They didn’t play it poorly outside of Reilly fucking one thing up that doesn’t matter 95% of the time.

43 seconds of silence from the booth after Sean McD finished the original call. PheNOMenal announcing right there.

That’s not Marner’s guy unless he wants to commit interference. Given it’s the playoffs that may have not been a bad move.
Meh, I feel like Toronto was mostly expecting it to turn out this way. Lucy, Football, and all that…
Here’s more Sad Toronto Porn…from right after the OT goal, at Real Sports right across from the arena. The video better conveys the abject sadness, but this works…
Wait, what?
It was lucky that the bounce came out exactly where it did, but Lindholm absolutely read the play correctly, could see Pasta breaking on the right side and looked for the hard dump to get the puck to come back off the dasher.
Give Lindholm some credit here, that was fucking awesome.
And if he was just looking for a safe dump in he could have easily just rimmed the puck around from the left side where probably Pasta gets it on the other side, but in a far less advantageous spot. Lindholm went for it and it worked. If it was not for Sway, he gets the game puck. I mean, sweet Jesus!
Mostly matches the eye test but DeBrusk is weird there. I thought he was one of their few dangerous players tonight.
Yeah, all those guys had been skating backwards so Pasta has much more momentum too.
A lot of politics, I think. McDonough has never seemed like he wanted to play the game. Nantz lives for it.
It was a smart play. 95%+ of the time the puck stays below the goal line. You can be lucky and smart at the same time.
