couldn't pull the magic in the SOL.

That section mid-season when they lost so many and fell too far back really hurt them. Playing roster games might have worked for Tampa, but maybe not such a good strategy every time.

edit: Still, most successful expansion franchise. They'll be back.

3 SOL in a row. A goalie can only stop so many shots when his team doesn't score. Shades of last year's power play. If they win the season finale, it will be all for lack of 1 point. Unbelievable.

edit: requiem

TBD - To Be Determined


************

Going to Game 1 between Boston and Carolina.

Twitter exploding tonight after ESPN’s audio was not synced up with their video. In the TB/TOR and LA/EDM games, you’d hear the crowd cheering or the puck hitting things almost a full second before you’d see it on video. ESPN looks like they just don’t care.

They don't, nhl deal was a power play to drive espn+ subscriptions. They still only care about their nba coverage.

Canes take game 1.

18.4%, 25th overall...is it any wonder?

Canes take game 2!

I'm rooting for any Canadian team this year. It's been a long time since the Cup got to stay up north.

Looks like Leafs/Flames are the best bets.

Bruins had'em then lettin' 'em slip away again...

Left out espn...it's like their entire broadcast/ sportscenter team didn't know the canes were actually a good team...came off as the reason so many of their studios moved to ny.

ESPN does that with every NY team in every pro sport. It's an awful network. Why I quit watching 15 years ago except for live sports.
