2021-22 NHL Season Thread

[Badger]

Tristan Jarry is 2-6 in the postseason. Fewer wins than Louis Domingue. Let this be the beginning of the end.

I watched the highlights and assumed it was Domingue. Not a good sign for Jarry.

Meh. Fresh off a broken foot and a month without playing. Hardly indicative

The Bunch of Jerks are up 1-0!

Blues beat the Avs 4-1 to even the series 1-1. Hope we take them out of the playoffs.

I'm disgusted with the Rangers' effort last night and will not be watching Game 3.  How dare they. 

[JGibson]

Tonight's game is why I HATE Nazem Kadri with a passion. The wrongly nullified goal on a bogus "interference" call that would've given the Blues a 2-1 lead shifted the momentum of the game, along with the injury to Jordan Binnington.

[JGibson]

Bad news: Blues G Jordan Binnington out for the remainder of this series.

Update: I watched it and they won.  Probably because I wore my Brassard jersey.

Seriously, how is no one talking about the phantom call that took a goal off the board, killed a power play, and essentially set up Col’s second goal?

Like I get why the injuries are bigger news, but ‘inexplicable call tips play-off game’ feels like it should be mentioned somewhere. Or at least explained.

*Hranted the camera angle was bad and as you can imagine any search for ‘Blues-Avs Goalie Interference’ isn’t turning up that play, so maybe I just totally missed it.

Game 2 was horrible and embarrassing. Game 3 pretty good, especially defense.

[T'Chenka]

Florida and Calgary are disappointing me.

Good Lord, Gallant is a whiny little bitch, isn't he? 

[Donerail]

Florida and Calgary are disappointing me.

The ft. lauderdale panthers [Lightning own Florida] are and have always been a poverty franchise I'm afraid, not sure why you would expect anything different. Let us review the series:

• 0 goals on 49 shots in game 4
• 3 goals entire series
• Bolts playing w/out Brayden Point
• Panthers have no firsts until 2025

goodbye to them

[JGibson]

Blues blow yet another 1-0 lead and lose 6-3 to fall into a 3-1 series hole against the Avs. The Blues better win Wednesday, or their season is done.

As for Nazem Kadri, he scored a hat trick. I REALLY f**king hate that guy with a fiery passion.

[T'Chenka]

Here's hoping Calgary can tie 'er up tonight. I'm cheering against the Rangers tying it up though.

Tampa vs Carolina
Colorado vs Calgary

... would be ideal at this point, for me.

I didn’t get to tune into the game until the 2nd period.

It went something like this
‘Oh boy, they are up 1-0’
And the two minutes later it was 3-1 Avs

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

Holy crap I may have just watched the greatest NHL game I’ve ever seen.
Blues down 3-1 in the third, fight their way back to a tie, McKinnon scores basically single handedly, Blues gut out another goal to tie it back up with the extra skater with under a minute left. Game ends on a Bozak one timer in OT.

I was so overjoyed with that game. Glad the Blues extended the series, and hope they do it again Friday.

It was a fun game to watch.  Now if the Bunch of Jerks could please beat the whiny bitch Rangers, tonight will be a great night too.

[JGibson]

The Blues had their hearts broken, as they conceded the series winner with 5 seconds left in regulation, as Darren Helm scored it to give the Avalanche a 3-2 win to wrap it up in 6.

The Blues had a pair of 2 1-goal leads and coughed them up. Colton Parayko's delay of game call was very costly.

[The Dowager Mod]

Me after the Blues lost.

[KaiserDave]

Pittsburgh fans here need to calm down! You lost! Gallant is fine and we are playing well (at home).

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

I have very little confidence the Rangers can win tomorrow''s Game 7 in Raleigh.  For whatever reason, that Canes team does a complete 180 at home and become one of the most defensively stout teams I've ever seen.  Barclay Goodrow being back in the lineup and slightly changing the line matchups is the one thing that gives me a sliver of hope.  Game 7s are exactly why he was brought in on a 6-year deal.

A remarkably successful season for the Rangers no matter the outcome.  They are a very young team with little playoff experience to speak of, yet here they are as one of the five teams left standing.  Love it!  They have shown me that they are a group with some stones.  "Dawg in them" as one might say.

[KaiserDave]

I give the Rangers a 20-30% chance of winning tonight, win or lose I'm proud of this team, they've done well and the victory over Pittsburgh will be long remembered.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

We're gonna win, don't hedge your bets yet, boys.
