Championship Round: Buffalo (1E) vs Anaheim (1W)

[Bruyns]

No Lindgren tonight, but closing the gap so far.

[Matthew]

Petry with two goals

I swear this league is cursed
Bruyns is going to 5peat in a 32 team league hows that even possible.

There's a chance, but still behind and you have the edge. I go to bed up in points and wake up and see both Moore and Gourde got a point.

Your team is 3rd in goals, 3rd in points, 3rd in +-, 5th in PIMs (2 away from 2nd), 1st in SOG, 1st in GWG, 1st in hits, 3rd in blocks, 4th in FOW and 1st in SHTOI. That is one hell of a performance so far being at or near the top in everything except assists and STP.

[Bruyns]

Cernak playing, Gudas is done, no Lindgren last night. Blocks is slipping away, I need points and SOG I think.

[dave1959]

either way, it's nice to see it go down to the wire!

good series by both of you

[Shoalzie]

If this is finally the year Matt goes down...you still want to see it be a great battle to the end.

With Dallas clinching their spot and Vegas being officially eliminated...now we wait to see how teams approach this final game or two. There's still positioning left be to decided. The effort in these final games and the rest vs. not rest situations are definitely a subplot.

[Bruyns]

No Campbell Friday

[Matthew]

Gotta assume one of Boston or Colorado wins their game

[Matthew]

Staal and svech both sitting out tonights season finale for carolina

Staal and svech both sitting out tonights season finale for carolina

why Svech and not Aho?

Should lock up FOW for me at least with Staal out.

[Shoalzie]

NHL.com lists Svech out with an illness.

[Bruyns]

Some crazy swings in +- in this match

[Matthew]

Yeah I thought plus minus was a done deal but it could be the swing stat for who wins the match

[Matthew]

Fuck moore is out

I think ur gonna catch me in shots plus minus and win points
Think ur gonna take it

[Bruyns]

You will get goalie wins, it’s definitely coming down to the wire. Wouldn’t surprise me if you needed Gourde to get 2 SOG or go +1 to win when he is the only guy playing on Sunday.

[Bruyns]

Honestly thought I was beat a few days ago, but slight edge to me now.

[Shoalzie]

Now that the NHL is back to an even number of teams, I really want to see the entire league in action on the final day of the regular season. 15 games tonight is still pretty great along with day two of the NFL draft and a lone NBA playoff game.

I'm an unapologetic nerd...I want to watch the meaningless Kraken-Jets game Sunday because I've only seen small chunks of Seattle games since Beniers signed. I guess we'll find out after tonight if the fate of our season will revolve around Yanni Gourde.

Once again, good luck tonight gentlemen...it's been a tremendous league final.

[Matthew]

Both my goalies in the net tonight so throwing up a prayer to Plante, Sawchuk, and Esposito for at least one shutout tonight

And sure throw a couple up to Howe and lafleur for any amount of points, why not...

Erm, oh boy and Brad mccrimmon for some Plus/Minus help

[Matthew]

Ahh haha. Makar being rested tonight r.i.p. my chances

[Bruyns]

Marchand and Makar so pretty even trade off.
