Hey Steve.

Washington had 91 points in 2024.
Detroit had 91 points in 2024.

Why is your team in the Golf Course ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Stars back to back overtime wins in games 2 and 3.

 

[byco42]

ABV. Anybody But Vegas.

 

[biggunsbob]

Road team has won first three games of panthers lighting series.

 

[byco42]

Leafs couldn't sweep Senators. Not good.

 

[Mitchrapp]

First time in a long while where I haven't watched playoff hockey.

 

[biggunsbob]

Me too. I turn some on late 3rd or watch winning goal in a ot game.
But im still upset with Steve.

 

[byco42]

RE: Playoff Hockey ... somehow I'm finding other things to do. Read. Pray. Guitar. There was a time when I HAD to watch the NHL playoffs.

 

[byco42]

Oh no the Maple Leafs are getting raked.

 

[biggunsbob]

First time since 2018 Washington has made it past the 2nd round.

Hey Steven ! They had 91 points too last year.

 

[byco42]

If the Leafs lose Game 6, I don't think they win the series vs OTT. Imagine the meltdown in Toronto, especially since this is the team that I think had the best chance to end the curse of 1967.
