    Don't worry, we managed to take TWO stupid penalties in the last 7 seconds of the period to give an almost full 2 minutes of 5 on 3 to Leafs. I'm sure this won't go poorly for us... Although it would be nice if the refs did something about Leafs ability to somehow get 45 seconds of rest every...

    If you're a Blackhawks fan, do you worry that Tom Wilson has more goals in the playoffs than your entire team?

    That weird moment when you're leading playoff goal scorers with 3 goals each are Alex Ovechkin and Tom Wilson. No really, Tom Wilson. Likely to never see that again.

    Your idea sounds far more plausible hahaha. I don't know if he actually did the drawings while up there though, seems like he did excursions to Mexico and other places in the years after to check stuff out. Possible he only wrote down coordinates. Still seems sketchy he'd take those trips to...

    We're only talking by a couple of years though, and it's easier going through that wait if you've won it before.

    Be hard to top last night's set of games. Pitt/CBJ was wild though. Wonder if Columbus can find a way to stretch that series out.

    Cooper's Treasure

    Yeah I actually thought the scene where he sat down with a bunch of the old guys from the Mercury team was extremely cool. The space connection and diving is enough to keep me watching, but I'm just going to assume like Moog said it's at least all "dramatized".

    That's my issue with it. Read some articles and they claim otherwise...but it just seems too good to be true. Even certain moments with the guy's "family" seemed suspect on this first episode.

    So much controversy in the Real/Bayern tie today. The actual sending off of Vidal was a horrible decision, but I thought he should have been sent off near the start of the 2nd half for a bad foul just outside their box. All this whining about Casemiro not being sent off occurred well after...

    Yeah, all the chances in Game 2 after we tied it, Kuzy with half the net gaping while Andersen went down late in the 3rd last night. The 5 on 3. Can't let these chances go to waste. I won't be completely worried unless we lose tomorrow night. If we win it's 2-2 coming back home, but...

    Ishad this is a pretty low blow after we lost in OT. :-P Someone did the math and if we had Forsberg still we'd still have Adam Oates as head coach, so it worked out.

    I'll say this, right now it looks like he's given the Blue Jackets a pollen allergy. It's hilarious how the Jackets will control long stretches, but get nothing...then Pens will score with their first/next shot on goal.

    Well we sorta got what we deserved tonight, all those golden chances at the end of the 3rd and in OT to win it, but no payoff. Carlson breaks his stick, and a nice pass by Boyle makes it a 1-1 series. I'm sure Caps fans will be slitting wrists, but it wasn't like anyone should have been...

    Not that I completely trust expected goals (xG) stat yet, since it sort of ignores shooting and goaltending talent, but yeah overall Habs generated a ton of chances. Of course...it would be nice for the Habs of all teams to outshoot someone by like a million and still lose the game. (grumble...

    Right now I'm still in lets get past the 2nd round. Looks like it'll be the Pens if we get there, since the Jackets have no luck. 7-0 in shots on goal to start the game, Pens score on their first shot of the game. Just how it's been running. Bob is so shit in the playoffs.

    Also...holy fucking hell Tom Wilson. Tom Wilson? Tom Wilson. Shitty ass start to that game though. Gotta realize they have speed and skill to run and gun if we turn the puck over like we were. Got stronger as the game went on but holy hell, don't give them hope.

    Ronaldo not the player he used to be by any stretch, but he can still be lethal. Although really he should have had a 3rd or 4th today, and Bale definitely should have had one. Bayern should actually feel somewhat fortunate to only have given up 2 away goals with how much pressure they endured...

    Definitely doesn't erase what they managed to accomplish. 2 Cups in 3 years is pretty remarkable. Will be interesting to see who they hire as coach and how the new structure works going forward.
