New Jersey wins it. Tough loss for Florida, but great season all around.

No doubt. Great game, but that was a sad way to end it.

Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that that was the first time a black guy ever scored a game 7 OT winner in the NHL lol

Gritty series, was fun to watch.

Mike Grier? Iginla?

OK actually went back and did some research back until 1990 and couldn't find another in game 7. I did find that Byfuglien and Anton Carter scored playoff overtime goals, but not in game 7s.

Ya I remember Carter had one, don't remember the Byfuglien one though.

It's a shame that last nights game had to end. Both teams looked like they really wanted it, I am happy to see Brodeur get another shot a cup but I really wanted to see The Panthers go on and compete some more.

Out of the teams left I could care less who wins not a fan of any team left I guess I could live with St. Louis if they win or The Kings

It has been almost 24 hours and I still can't figure out if I overrated New Jersey or underrated Florida.

Vrbata scores on pp and Yotes lead 1-0.

If any of you have an iPad, download the NHL PrePlay app. You play betting games based on what happens during the actual game. It's pretty awesome.

Most everyone has underrated the Panthers all season.

Another overtime win for the Yotes. They get dominated on shots on goal but still find a way to win. Simply amazing.

Maybe they'll actually have people in the seats next game.

The game started early and most people were stuck in traffic coming to the game. But in the end it was sold out.

trwi7 · Post #275 » by **trwi7** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 5:23 am

They weren't stuck in traffic in the 2nd and 3rd periods. Several spots of about 25-30 empty seats in the lower level.

Didn't notice that.

I didn't either, frankly.

Great game between Devils/Flyers going on right now. I didn't give Devils a chance to win this series but they've impressed me so far today.

SunsRback4Good · Post #279 » by **SunsRback4Good** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 1:15 am

Yotes ain't screwing around tonight, they have 17 shots on goal while Predators have 13.

Perfect time for Rinne to be a little off his game while the defense is showing no interest in, you know, defending.
