    @Creasy47 I could be wrong, but I don’t forsee the Caps solving the Pens anytime soon. I don’t like the Caps though so all the same good luck to your team!

    Very happy to see the Maple Leafs come back. I will be pulling for them to take Game 7.

    Nor I, thanks for rooting against them @FoxRox!

    Round Two starts Thursday! Figured it wouldn't begin until this weekend/early next week, but the Pens/Caps face off in Washington at 7 PM ET on Thursday, and the Sharks/Golden Knights is set for Thursday at 10 PM ET.

    Let's go Toronto! I'm watching this game so we'll see if I'm bad luck for them or not.

    Capitalizing early on that power play, 1-0 Toronto! They just might have this thing tonight.

    This'll be one of the most nail-bitingest Game Sevens. Back and forth, back and forth.

    if we can get out with a tie by the end of the period, it'll hafta settle down in the second period (I hope).

    That's how these games seem to go a lot of the time: a wild, high-scoring first period, followed by a radio silent second period.

    These penalties are the total difference makers in this game. What a wild one.

    Looks like an absolute classic.

    That short-hander is one of the cutest plays I've seen in quite some time. Made even richer by Marchand eating ice and looking foolish.

    Even better: Marchand drew the penalty, just to get smoked on the ice and pave the way for another goal. Love it, love it, love it.

    yes @Creasy47- he lost that battle-- BIG TIME.

    Rask won't be too happy if they lose this one - four goals on 14 shots. That's rough.

    The stats they’re showing is that Rask is weak in 7th games

    Hope that remains true

    Yeah it's funny, I was checking Reddit earlier and caught someone saying "So this is Game 7 Rask I'm always hearing about." Guess it's true; can't say it's a shame, I'm glad!

    Yeah it couldn’t be that simple.

    Should've known it wouldn't be that easy. C'mon Toronto, get another one.

    Nooooooooo. Gotta be kidding me.

    Please don't pull a Pens move and slowly trickle onward, holding the lead the entire game, just to lose it right at the end.

    Time to see just how bad Toronto wants it then.

    Well that was disappointing. Not surprising though :(

    Yeah that's definitely a shame. They had it going for most of the game but just couldn't hold on and produce anything in the third when it was the most critical time to do so. Not many SOG tonight sadly.

    Well this Boston/Tampa Bay series is going to be insanity.
