<p>Gaborik! We fans were down on the soft European who hadn’t scored since the first Sen game. Well, at least everyone got their money’s worth.</p>
<p>That was a heartbreaker, but a beautiful goal. I loved the shots throughout the game of Holtby’s parents in the audience and his mom’s reactions.</p>
<p>Happy to see the Predators win one, especially without the idiotic pair of Radulov and Kostitsyn.</p>
<p>My poor long suffering Rangers fan DH is worn out today; he was playing almost as hard as the guys on the ice :)</p>
<p>And yay for my Preds!</p>
<p>long suffering? they won the Cup less than 20 years ago</p>
<p>my poor Caps have only made it to the finals once.</p>
<p>Caps had the better play in the first OT, but didn’t finish their chances and Rangers had the better play in 2 and 3OT</p>
<p>Looks like I’m the only Devils fan around these parts, but–Woooooo!</p>
<p>I was thinking of you, garland, as I watched that Ponikarovsky (old Leaf!) goal last night. 
The Devils played well.</p>
<p>will anyone be able to stop the Kings?</p>
<p>congrats NYR… Caps gave that one away so looks like you will be advancing to the next round in a couple days.</p>
<p>Well, from a Rangers fan’s perspective, they made it happen. An improbable win, but the type that smacks of destiny. I was able to have the game on my phone while I was watching my son play lacrosse. </p>
<p>(Speaking of improbable, Valdespin for the Mets hits a three run shot–his first hit ever-- off of Papelbon for the win. And would someone explain why there are three TV conflicts for the Rangers and Knicks?)</p>
<p>
Wow, have a little faith. The Bruins were down 3-2 in the Finals last year, and they came back and won it.</p>
<p>The Rangers got lucky.</p>
<p>Luck is the residue of design.</p>
<p>Garland: I’m here!!..have been swamped, but watching the Devils (sorry to my TIVO on Thursday nights with all the OT games)…</p>
<p>Did the thread wish Marty a happy 40th?..ok, I will!!</p>
<p>No Rodney, but he definitely had a good one!</p>
<p>Latichever–pretty amazing, is right! As I despise all Philly-related sports, that was a ton of fun for me. (I say this knocking on wood, since I certainly don’t think the Flyers are going to go quietly, and every baseball series with the Phillies is phraught with phear phor me.)</p>
<p>As for our house, we have not quit on the Caps just yet… :)</p>
<p>Flyers fans here – and we hear the fat lady warming up. We will once again snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. All Philly teams are like a bad blind date; so promising and gets your heart beating, but deep down you know it’s never going to work 
and you swear you won’t fall for it again. And then football starts…</p>
<p>Take heart, greenbutton–you’ve been dominating baseball for years–the virtual Yankees of the NL.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’ve watched the Caps collapse too many times in the playoffs to have any faith, unfortunately. =(</p>
<p>Well, the Bruins went 40 years between Stanley Cups, so I understand the sentiment. I think they lost to the Canadiens in the playoffs something like 11 series in a row.</p>
<p>But that’s why we’re fans - every year is our year. :D</p>
<p>Woooo Hoooo!!!</p>
<p>Caps / Rangers heading to game 7</p>
<p>… all the other teams are resting up, heh.</p>
