Yes this series has brought out a side of Karlsson I have not seen before. He's always been fast, good with the puck, and has the speed and skill to play good D, but he's had some good hits this series which i've never seen outta him.
The one stat that still bother's me is there's been zero scoring from the Sens bottom two lines, so if the top two get shut out, they are still screwed.
That being said, it's good to see Bobby Ryan finally score after about 16 games without a goal.....
These f#*%& Blues, yeah come home after a dominating Game 4 win and then crap the bed. Keep playing Jackman instead of Bortuzzo, play Goc instead of calling up Rattie. Whatever.. if baseball season starts for me Sunday, so be it.

Good luck.
Hawks circle the wagons and even game.
Looking good in the second as Crawford has rejoined humanity.
It's a gutsy call by coach Q, yet I think the right one should the Preds extend the series. You want to go with an experienced guy in game 7.
As for my 'Nuckleheads I am on pins and needles with more grey hair growing by the minute. Blowing a three goal lead is weak and pathetic. They just like putting themselves in that position, to step off the accelerator even though it's a must win game. No killer instinct at all.
Fantastic game. Especially for Flames fans. A heartbreaker for me and 'Nucks nation. Painful to watch. A rusty Miller allowed the winning goal with 4 minutes to go. (No excuses, but that was a horse sh!t call from the refs giving the home team a gifted PP that tied the game earlier).
As I was saying earlier, even though he's a vet, he hasn't really played much since his injury back in Feb. He had rebound issues, moving side to side.
They blew two leads, they just couldn't put the young kids away. They got out coached and outplayed every game in cowtown. Disappointing, very disappointing loss. A painful way to end a rather improved year filled with unfortunate injuries.
Watch out for the Flames, they don't ever give up, a youthful core of players playing ahead of their years. Love watching Monahan & Gaudreau.
Blues eliminated in the first round again. I was pretty certain they'd beat Min this year but not sure what happened. It'll be hard to take them seriously as Stanley Cup contenders next season when their season ended in April the past 3 years.
For the record I showed forum post mercy towards the Blues and their fans.... I was going to post 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA' and leave it like that. But I didnt!

And now Moiling is hurt and Waino is out for the season. The best time of the year turned to crap.
The window is closing down for the Blues. They had depth except in between the pipes and were shown the door early again. I picked the Wild too, because of the excellent hockey they've been playing since February and kept riding on Dubnyk.
I would be surprised if Hitchcock remains the head coach.
Gallagher plays best when he's agitating the opponent. Seems to be working so far. Sens need to get that forechecking going soon.

Congrats to the Minnesota fans! Going to be an interesting series against a real team in Chicago.
Well said sir.
Habs move on but the better team in my mind was the Sens.
Screwed they were in this game by the refs but they did not give up they poured it on.
Price was awesome in the third....He has come of age for sure.
I am still trying to come down from my de la rose is a worthless piece of s*** anger.
Yes, Price won that game for the Habs. Good luck in the second round, and hopefully he keeps it up, because you'll need him!
Sens I think just ran out of gas, and had too many guys in slumps. Bobby Ryan did not look like a superstar this series, and they are paying him like a superstar.
If anyone on this team deserves superstar pay, it's Pageau. Lock him up, he's the best guy on the bottom six there is!

I agree. He was a warrior today, while others seemed to lack the energy of the previous two games. You have to be good to be lucky and Habs were lucky when the refs robbed Sens of a goal. But Price stole this game. The last two minutes of the game he made some incredible series saves.
