So we Brits lost our opener against Russia 7-1. Ouch. At least the next game wasn't as bad, 2-1 to Slovakia.

Will Colorado stand tall, or will St. Louis live to fight another day?

Will the Caps flush the Bruins down the drain?


STAY TUNED!


We should hopefully be getting Congrats, Blues! sometime next week. Maybe Congrats, Capitals! if the Bruins keep steady.

That is some of the best goaltending I've ever seen.

Now I am off to choke myself because the Pens ONCE AGAIN cannot beat Barry Trotz. What the fuck is puck control? What the fuck is decent passing? The defense played well for the first time in 3 years and we still suck!!

Also, poor Leafs losing the game within a minute of the start of OT.

I mean. They did fight their way back from a 2-0 deficit. So you gotta give them that much credit. But, yes, they failed in the end.

Don't mind me, just waiting in line for the inevitable Congrats video.

Because seriously, Toronto, how in the hell did you go from a 3-1 series lead to a 3-1 loss in game seven? What sort of curse has fallen upon you and who set it upon you so I can ask them to do the same for my enemies? Why have you not won a damn series since the season-cancelling lockout ended despite the number of decent players you've had and you have? And are you actually going to try and expand on areas that you've done right instead of trying to live on past glories? Don't bother playing next season. As in, literally, write 2021-22 off and come back for 2022-23. Don't relocate, don't blow everything up, just use that time to learn the self-Heimlich so you know how to stop yourself choking.

P.S. Isles, Jets, Canes and Avs for me.
