2021 Stanley Cup playoffs skating thread

They built those special boxes between the benches to protect the players from him.

 

I spent 12 years working for one of the junior coaches he would routinely mention. I never saw him at one of our games.

 

As a non-Canadian, I think I can say this without fear of government persecution, but after the CBC lost the rights to Dolores Claman's music, I thought what they replaced it with (which I believe was the winner of a contest) was this song's equal. I don't know if the graphics are fuzzy like that deliberately, but I was sad to see this one go, and not just because of Nicklas Lidstrom's part in this particular version.

 

Tell 'em your cousins think they he purty mouths. Always worked for me with people tried to adopt the patois.

 

NERDS!!!!!! Hey @ChrisLong

 

Try this one (RIP Neil Peart) ... still the best by a mile (er, kilometer or two ... converting for our Canadian friends):

 

Man I really started to believe Minnesota stood a puncher’s chance after forcing Game 7, but clearly midnight struck in the second period. Here’s hoping Colorado can put an end to Vegas quick.

 

The best 4 teams left are playing each other. Canes, Lightning and Avs, Knights. Too bad it’s so early.

 

Both, IMO, are a round too early given what they've shown this season and before. That's the way the cookie crumbled given the divisional alignment for this season, of course ...

 

And some morons are going to accuse the teams that lose of underachieving.

 

Welcome to the world where the Capitals and Penguins always had to play each other too early. Good for others to get a taste of that. Just the way the divisions go...

 

I'm worried that the Habs will pull off the upset against the Leafs, maybe take the Jets to 6 and that will be enough of a "run" to save Bergevin.
