    Barron still wearing the college facemask. I'm surprised Howden's still on the Knights, I thought he was gone from there.

    Barron got his face cut in half above his eye by the Vegas goalie last game. That’s why he is wearing that college mask.

    O’Reilly with a huge goal in the last minute to send it to OT.

    That was a great add for Toronto. I think this is their year. I think they can beat Boston as well if they get by TB.

    Islanders getting picked apart in game 4. They need to find a way to win today or it could a quick exit.

    They need to make this much longer series because as we all know the rangers aren't good at closing out anyone earlier. lol

    Big win for Carolina if they finish it off. I think they have lost 8 straight on the road or something like that.

    8 or 9, yeah. I don't see the Islanders getting 3+ in the 3rd the way they are playing today...definitely puts Carolina in a favorable position.

    Puts even more importance on game 4 for us. Canes are most likely winning in 5, we don't want to go 7, and if we lose game 4 this will be a 7 game series. If we win game 4 it will be done in 6 max. Go win game 4 Rangers, and for once make things a little easier on yourselves.

    Don’t follow west coast teams much but how are the Oilers down in the series and the game (1-0 Kings so far) with that much talent? Looking at Kings roster no one sticks out other than old man Kopitar.

    The Oilers PP is a joy to watch. So much skill.

    Lack of D and especially goaltending, plus they are a bit top heavy, their 3rd and 4th lines lack depth. The main issue is in goal though, they started some dude named Skinner, now we'll see if Campbell can carry them. They can score a lot of goals, but struggle to keep them out.

    And yes their PP is almost automatic. Highest % ever in regular season. They move the puck quickly and decisively, and shoot when given the opportunity, we can learn a thing or two from them.

    Matthews with 2 quick goals to bring Toronto within 1. TB better not blow this.

    You expect that from the Rangers, you don't from TB, even if they still find a way to win tonight. I don't trust their goalie one drop, but I feel this may be Toronto's year to make a run. We'll see.

    Huge win for Toronto, tough L for TB. The end of the TB run is this year - tip your cap to them in this hard cap era to make the SCF 3 straight years winning 2 - eventually you lose too many players though. I think Toronto beats Boston unless their goalie is a mess.

    After 11 straight road W's, finally a home team wins as Seattle wins in OT over the Avs. That is so crazy - home ice is a disadvantage right now. Road teams 11-1 the past 3 days.

    Still unlikely, but it would be pretty cool to see Seattle knock off the Avs.
