It is possible to come back from 2 down in the third to take a game 7. In regulation even. 

Crazy it could happen back to back nights after only happening three times previously in the history of the league.

Was watching with my son and as that cycle went on, I said to him “this could be it.” Three seconds later, the puck was in the back of the net.

My Debbie downer moment for Dallas (and Winnipeg) is that I believe teams that have tough 6 or 7 game first rounds run out of gas by the conference finals, unless they can win in 5 in round 2.  At least Dallas gets 3 days between series this season.

That covers everybody in the West. Stars and Jets both went 7 and Vegas and the Oilers went 6. Three Eastern teams only needed five to get out of the first round.

Fingers crossed the Finals this year isn't a Vegas vs Carolina or Florida. 

I will be surprised if anybody other than Florida wins the East. I thought Vegas would win the West before the playoffs started. We shall see.

Edmonton better put up a fight.  If Vegas clears them in 5 while Stars/Jets slug it out they will have a real advantage against winner.

Round 2 Predictions. Who you got?

Florida in 6

Washington in 5

Vegas in 6

Dallas in 6

Hmm. I think I go:

Florida in 5

Carolina in 7 (this is merely a hunch and thinking Washington isn't as good as the record indicates)

Vegas in 6

Dallas in 6

Dallas should get a couple of key contributors back after long layoffs. Sometimes, this isn't the immediate boon you'd like, and a playoff series doesn't allow for "get up to speed" time.

Winnipeg has a couple of key pieces in doubt. Otherwise, they're fairly similar teams.

Of course, who am I kidding? Hellebuyck will either be a cork or a sieve. That's your series.

Winnipeg 3-1 v Stars this season.  Outscored Dallas 13-5.  I want to be optimistic but I won't lie, I was pulling like hell for the Blues.

only one of those was PR (Post Rantanen) and the Stars were in a deep slide/energy saving mode/whatever the hell that was. Stars have the playoff experience and will only get deeper as players come back from injury. Losing Schiefele and Morrissey is a direct correlation to the Stars losing Miro and Robo. I'm betting Miro slots in immediately, Robo may be a few games out still. Remains to be seen if the corresponding Jets core players return or not. Either way, I don't think the season series means shit at this point. First time ever meeting in the playoffs too, so there isn't built in animosity like there would have been against the Blues. I'm feeling better about the Jets as an opponent than I was with he Avs, that's for sure. Game 1 will tell us a lot.

I'm not much of a hockey fan, but I do keep an eye on the Blues.  That goal at 1.6 sec to send it to OT was gut-wrenching.

Indeed. Especially since it was set up by poor decisions and execution. The Blues had chances to kill clock and get cleaner shots on the empty net, but panicked instead. 

But honestly, the Jets outplayed us significantly over the last two periods. They deserved the win. 

There’s always next year…

watching Leafs/ Panthers just because.  Leafs had an incredible 1stP.  The goal :33 into the game was a shot; the goal IMEDIATELY following the cats PP goal was fucking huge.  Not that juiced about either team, but that was entertaining.
