5-3 Vegas, may as well put your backup in now. Can’t be worse. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

And we’re done here, boys. 

[C-Man 27703]

Well, good night Colorado

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Vegas and Montreal?

Tampon Bay and the lowly Isles?

The programmers are clearly high in this version.

[Longhorn_Fan68 34086]

I would sat MTL is gonna get their shit pushed in, but with this season you never know. I thought the Avs were gonna win it all. Now I don't know what to think

[Shoxthemonkey 1992]

Thanks to all of you that posted last night. I played golf, got drunk and passed out without seeing any of it.

[Longhorn_Fan68 34086]

Almost the exact same shit tonight, except sub Tampa. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Isles get one

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Montreal at Vegas on NBCSN now, Knights up 1-0 in the series. 

[Shoxthemonkey 1992]

The National Anthems of both countries were just knocked out of the park. No look at me bullshit. Gave me chills.

[Shoxthemonkey 1992]

1-0 Habs

[cactusflinthead 27626]

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Wow, 2-0 Habs. 

[Shoxthemonkey 1992]

The puck has lived in the Vegas end.

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

That was fucking soft. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

3-0 Habs, late 2nd. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Vegas stole one at the end of 2, last 20 underway now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Vegas down 1 with 4 left. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Habs survive, series 1-1 going north. 

[Longhorn_Fan68 34086]

Turning out to be a better semis than I thought it would be. Both series tied at 1-1 and shifting to new barns. Will be interesting to see if anyone starts pulling away.

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Lightning at Isles on USA tonight. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

1-0 Tampa after 1. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Goddammit. I didn't look beyond NBCS. Went to golf.

[cactusflinthead 27626]

See if that holds up. 

That's good

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Ok Isles now you gotta kill one

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Clutterbuck is a very apropos name for that last goal. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Ugly goals count

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Damn, Tampa has a fucking knack for these late-period scores. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

They're a well built team and play smart.

I am starting to hate them again

I don't think Montreal can play better than they did in G2.  Wouldn't surprise me to see Vegas win 3 in a row.

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Whoops. 

Quote

Canadiens interim coach Dominique Ducharme will miss Friday night's Game 3 in Montreal after twice testing positive for COVID-19. Assistant coach Luke Richardson will run the Canadiens' bench. Assistant coaches Alex Burrows and Sean Burke will be on the bench as well.

The NHL said that no other players or staff members on the Canadiens tested positive either Thursday or Friday. The semifinal series against the Vegas Golden Knights is tied 1-1 as it shifts to Canada.

General manager Marc Bergevin said the coach is resting at home and doing fine. The NHL confirmed that Ducharme received his second COVID-19 vaccination "less than two weeks ago."

Since it is an unprecedented situation for the NHL during the playoffs, Bergevin said the team has been in contact with the Quebec health department, as well as the NHL, to determine how long Ducharme will be absent.

 

7:00 on USA. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16194]

Scoreless after 1. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Tied up. MTL rocking 5 SOG.

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Shots 24-5 Vegas. 

[cactusflinthead 27626]

Price is gonna steal this

[cactusflinthead 27626]

I know it's the playoffs but no penalties by Vegas? 

First man in the box for 5 periods?

Holy fuck, Fleury! 

[C-Man 27703]

Holy fuck, Fleury! 

That’s about as bad a fuckup as I’ve ever seen a goalie make
