Leafs/Caps about to get underway. This series probably won't last long, but has the potential to be very entertaining.

2-0 Leafs I think. Goal was waived off for goalie interference. IMO the goal should count on review here, no real contact.

Edit: they get it right, 2-0. I'm sure both teams fans won't wildly overreact to this.

Lose NHL hockey is like religion in Canada. Bigger than national borders. All of the original 6, except maybe the rangers have significant followings, and Bruin, Wings, Blackhawk, fans far outnumber Sens, Jets, Oilers, Flames.

Habs fans are a huge, despised group. One example, my most popular FB post ever was a meme I made about women wearing the hijab saying Habs jerseys offended me more. Leaf fans are there to kick when they are down (all of living memory).

USA announcers etc like this chimera that Canadian fans are going gnashing our teeth over who wins the cup, but we don't.

Bergeron has a chance to add another cup to his 3 best vs best gold medals.

Habs just scored with 20 seconds left to force overtime. Rags had a couple chances to clear but couldn't get it out

The Calvert cross check was utter trash. Then he turned around and tried to give a headshot. GJGE Torts.

Wow. Calvert should probably get a game to contemplate life quietly for that one.
I mean, if the league is at all serious about safety and player discipline, that dude shouldn't play again for a long fucking time.

Meanwhile, is there anything more frustrating than watching a game in Montreal? What an entitled bunch of shits, every time someone goes to the ice, tears flow.

Miserable 3rd period and OT for the Rangers.
Only saw OT but it looked like the 2nd or 3rd extra period for them. Checked out after blowing it.

Damn, that made me mad all over again thinking about Bergy's dumb penalty on Subban, and then happy all over again remembering that they won anyway.

Yep. That was ugly. The stick-breaking cross check to the head was bad enough, that alone should be worth more than a 1 game suspension, but then to go back for one more head shot on an obviously woozy player who has done littlerally nothing since the first cheap shot? In isolation, that second hit is non suspension-worthy, but occurring in that context, how is it not assault and battery? I think Calvert should be done for the playoffs and into next season.
