You knew it was going to be a freak ending to that marathon. Lousy that Tampa came out on top.

“I’ll make dinner between this game and the Bruins game”

And suddenly it’s 9:40 and I haven’t eaten.

Another victory for Tampa: I think the notoriety/significance of this victory is enough to mostly push last year out of the discussion.

Eh. It's one game.

I'm more concerned about the long term effects this is going to have on these two teams moving forward. Recovering from this kind of game has to be similar to recovering from a marathon, except - they're not really going to have much time to rest.

Hopefully their dead legs last into the next round.

Let’s see if they win the series, and then go on to do something. In addition to the CBJ series, the Bolts have had a bit of a San Jose Sharks like run in which they can’t get reach expectations and win a Cup.

A common refrain Friday night was that Toronto had excorsised their demons and were finally over the hump but they turned around and lost game 5. Hockey is weird.

Habs are all over Philly in the 2nd but can’t score. Lehkonen just fell down on what would’ve been a 2 on 0.
