It certainly doesn't look good, but i expect them to put it all on the table in game 4 and then continue that momentum headed back to Tampa. Plus, Kuch will be back and potentially Hedman too. I am rooting for the sweep, but maybe i am just in denial with what i am witnessing hahaQuote:

It's been a good day
I'm hoping San Jose and Vegas just beat the living piss out of one another so when we get them in round 2 they are tired and sore.
My goodness Tampa looks awful. And Kuch taking that completely unnecessary suspension (didn't someone else get 3 games for the exact same thing?), they don't even deserve to win anymore IMO. Only 4 times since 1942 has a team come back from a 3-0 series in the playoffs.
I hope Vegas and SJ go 7 games, I think that will be the most exciting match up of the entire playoffs. Then Calgary gets to play a tired team.
At this point I just want all the underdogs to win haha, that will be the most entertaining.
Have not seen black-on-black violence in the hockey in a very long time.Quote:

Ironically, or not ironically, he's likely going to get at least 5 games vs. Boston on April 13.
Difference between Kucherov and Kadri is reputation and repeat offender status.
He's been playing well since he got traded. Just so strong in every zone and doing things right.Quote:

I hope they get swept :rofl: Just pointing out it isn't over until 4 games have been won by one team.Quote:

Then I came across this video by Vox from 2017. I just find it interesting; and that at the time I’ve wondered about the topic of underdogs and what the current playoffs situation is in NHL, I came across this video. Just sharing this:

EDIT: Sorry if it becomes a totally different topic and derail this thread. Pls delete or move of necessary, just want to share. Thanks!!
Are we breaking out the brooms for the Iles and Jackets tonight?!
