Good battle Jim, I'm sure we'll meet again. Now the matchup I anticipated all season, the good ol friendly neighborhood Penguins. I'm ready for a barn burner. Going to put sliders on 5-0-0 and make some injuries happen, give me a hell yea! Ovi you're first bruddah, nothing easyyyy Great series! Wish I could have given you more of a fight. Good luck rest of the way.

As to Washington, great battle with them. Each game was so close, and they are always near the top of our division. I'm sure I'll run into them again! Bring it Eug.

Awesome series, Jake. So much for home ice advantage! Road Warriors all the way!
Appropriate to be put out by Bergeron in OT!
Good luck to the conference finalists!

Hard fought series Chris, I thought your all star goal tending tandem was going to be the end of my team this year. Thought you carried the play the last few games of the series. Did either of us win a home game that series haha?

Did either of us win a home game that series haha? Nope, EVERY game won by the road team LOL. I shouldn't have went on late season run to overtake you and Joe in the standings - kept it like last yr and win thru without home ice "advantage"; but...in that case, I probably would've been ousted in the 1st rnd! Yeah, problem with that tandom, both 81 OV at current so I didn't know how to start in Game 7! Hoped Bobrovsky's experience might come into play. Thought the 98 "CON" of Gibson might be a factor, especially since game went to OT, but he got 'er done for ya! As always, really intriguing Final Four. Good luck, fellas! For those who didn't make it this far, remember, it could always be worse: your team GM could be Chiarelli or your team owner could be Melnyk!

"We have a team" Which is how we feel this year in Duck country... It was so hard to see it all fall away after such a good start to the season... But Like Dorion said, "We have a team" Ohhh well, let's hope that things will only go forward from this point on...

Nice! Fixed my PP. Couldn't be happier #blessed You know, I reduced Orpik's ice time because he took 3 minor penalties in game 1 - it worked, he didn't take any penalties and we only gave you 2 powerplays. Then you went ahead and scored on both of them...

Home sweet home eh Mike? Now let's see if you can win one on the road, I dare you. Actually please don't, I got some mad scientist plans for my lines in game 7.

Honestly, with the way this series has gone I'm not expecting to win on the road. HOWEVER during the season I had a better road record than home, so if there's any game to steal one it's the next one!

What a barn burner! Huge games from Ovi and Malkin, Ellis with 2 goals, Kuznetsov and Letang fight (lol wtf?) This series deserves 7, now let's see if home ice is truly king, or if I can squeeze out a W on the road. Either way if you don't like this, you don't like JGHL hockey

Lol this is a great series though. Neither team can step up on the road for some reason (let's hope game 7 is the same way please) 36 shots too on Fleury - he's having a great series. Rinne on the other hand is not. He has been the definition of boom or bust. MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT.

Disappointed to go out after six games, Gibson was just outplayed by Lundqvist and throughout the playoffs my top line of Giroux and Stamkos couldn’t get it done. I wish I had a chance at resigning Bergeron though... have a feeling he’s going to get multiple league max offers.
Surprised I got as far as I did considering the competition in the West. The Aves have convincingly beat the Western conference regular season champs and my own team. Jon has his team playing some good hockey right now!

With every single game of the series being decided by 1-goal, obviously it could have easily gone the other way.

Ah shucks, good war Mike. Just as I predicted! Couldn't win one on the road but proud of my team, no qualms. Conference finals, game 7 OT, I mean what else can you ask for. You got a good squad Mike, McK and Jaden really came through for you as they should have. Even in a losing effort this was probably the most fun I've had in a J playoff.
Really excited for the off season. Roster should probably look similar next year but going to try to build on this and address some areas that were a pain point like LW and more passing/playmaking wingers. Good luck to the Avs and the Pens in these finals. Should be a good one!
