4-2 Florida

Keep it going, us southern teams have to stick together , the northern and Canadian elite still don't think we belong 

I know, it’s funny even though the lightning made it to the finals 3 times in a row and won the cup 2 of those times and then the panthers and canes records. It’s like they don’t even know the Canes have a bunch of players from Finland, NC.

Pavelski with 2 goals already and even 15 minutes gone.

Holy poo... 6 goals total in the 1st period?!?

Goalies with a combined .739 save%...

Lmao... Pavelski with 4 goals, Domi with 3 assists and even a Hakinpaa sighting... you'd think Dallas was dominating.

Unfortunately Oettenger went full on swiss cheese!

[DavidEng]

is Pavalski’s contract open for next year? Asking for a friend.

Wait till tomorrow night?, it will be the glorious Devils vs the ignorant red necks who don't know the difference between a clothesline and a blue line 

What's so glorious about the Devils?

"glorious" were the Rags and they got their "glorious" asses kicked out of the arena and onto the Golf course.

Make no mistake...the National Media HATES this matchup because there is no BIG Market to leech money off of.

There isn't a "big market" team left in the playoffs. Matter of fact, a few didn't even make the playoffs (Washington, Pittsburgh).

And NHL markets are far different than, say, NFL or MLB markets. The Kings are in a big market, but that doesn't mean they draw TV ratings.

And, the NHL has major bandwagon markets (Rags, Pens, Caps).

Does anyone else find this whole ticket master Florida panthers blocking Canadians thing hilarious. Everyone in the media is acting shocked like it never happened before, they do realize this happens in every playoff of every sport right? Everyone geoblocks on the first round of sales.

it's so ridiculous. Secondary market doesn't restrict. Every team does it. The Rangers fans went off on us last year for posting something and the Yankees do it. Just outright hypocrisy on anyone that criticizes it.  Home team has every right to do what they can to restrict away fans from at least buying up front. There are probably plenty of Leafs fan Sunrise residents who will have no restrictions. The rest can pay secondary market prices or stay home.

Didn't watch OT and didn't see the Kraken's first goal, but not sure any goalie was stopping goals 2, 3, or 4 for the Kraken. 2 was terrible D from the Stars after a turnover (all 5 players close to the left boards) and Schultz sniped it top left shelf after a wide open cross crease pass. Goals 3 and 4 were crazy deflections that would be borderline impossible reactions to make to save (honestly, the only way to save them would probably be being out of position). Honestly, I thought Otter made some really good saves in the 2nd and early 3rd when Dallas was mostly on the defensive.

Dallas folded like a house of cards to the Kraken forecheck in the first and their terrible turnovers/positioning gave the Kraken most of their goals.

I checked the box score and it looked like they scored 3 in 3 mins? That will quiet a home crowd

Yeah, two in 13 seconds also. Dallas' defense was very bad in the 1st period
