Stars blow a 3-0 first period lead and start second series out exactly like the first.

Stars blow a 3-0 first period lead and start second series out exactly like the first.

Stars are playing with fire. I saw a stat that indicated that 87% of teams in the NHL playoffs who win the first two games of a series win that series. So, they need to win tomorrow.

I remember the Wings going down 0-2 to Vancouver (at home) in the 2002 Western Conference opening round and then winning the next four games. The Penguins then returned the favor in the 2009 SCF, winning in seven. That still rankles at times -- like now.

Yeah I remember that too. So long ago now. I was living in Vegas. 22 long years ago.
We had a lot of strange calls go against us in the Pittsburgh series. Wings should have won back to back in 2009.

Florida evens up their series with Boston, 6-1 win.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oilers 4-1 lead gone quickly. Canucks up 5-4 now 6 minutes left.

 

[biggunsbob]

Crazy I just came back to it. Dozed off. Another blown lead.

 

[biggunsbob]

Carolina blows a 3-1 lead heading into the 3rd period lose 5-3. Series over.

 

[biggunsbob]

Two best teams in the East ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Dallas was just screwed by this ref.

Stars should have a winner in ot. Ref called goal off. But he was pushed into goalie by the Colorado defensemen. Dallas player also stayed out of the blue area.
He was clearly pushed with the stick by the Colorado defensemen.
Going to a 2nd ot. Game should be over.

One of those if it was called goal live it probably would have stayed goal. It was close seeing it live.

Yeah probably. But he was clearly pushed into goalie .

 

[biggunsbob]

So many missed penalties and chances. So many hooks, and holds. Sooner or later an icing will get a team . Both teams look pretty gassed.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wish the wings had goalies like these two.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dallas wins 2-1 in the second ot. It was close ro a icing costing it.

 

[biggunsbob]

Dallas second consecutive conference final and 3rd in 5 years.

 

[Mitchrapp]

All is well.

 

[biggunsbob]

Shame Ken Holland’s team is close to the conference finals. Guess I will be rooting for Dallas.

I want to see more McDavid.

I just want close games. Glad Colorado is out. Not a fan how Holland left the wings with bad contracts.
