No other sport even approaches the intensity of NHL playoff hockey, and it's not even close imo. This is ridiculous. Keep forgetting to breathe.

Well, kind of what we expected despite it going 3 games to 1... that was an insane game.

Last one is always the hardest. Especially against an organization like TB. Those consecutive Cups aren't flukes. Said from the beginning this was going 7 and would be one for the ages.

Honestly don't really feel too bad about that one. They played very hard. Had quite a few chances they just missed by a few inches. Avs have 2 more games to just get a win. Something to do on Sunday.
Go Avs! |

We ended up bailing on the watch party at the end of 2. It's on a college campus and on a Friday night. I'm pretty sure I was in the top 5% age wise. They hit capacity, but the crowd outside eventually tore the fence down to get in.
TIL I'm way too old for a bunch of drunk youths. |

And then quickly closed the Avalanche sub on reddit as soon as I saw posts about how the NHL is fixed and it's all bullshit. |

The Avs fan in me obviously wanted a win tonight. The hockey fan in me would be lying if I said I wouldn't mind two more games just like that except for the winning team in game 7, as long as I don't stroke out.
That was crazy good. You just don't get extended periods of insane intensity like that in any other sport. MLB and NFL plays might last 10 seconds max, NBA maybe 10 seconds of intensity every 3rd game. There were several 2 or 3 minute stretches of complete insanity tonight. |

Yeah, I've seen questions like "if you could guarantee an Avalanche win, do you want them to win tonight or game 7", and I actually saw a lot of people saying they prefer tonight (maybe they had tickets) and maybe they think doing it in 5 validates the Avalanche more than if they do it at all... In that case, I'll pick more hockey every time. Going 7 would feel a little annoying after being up 3-1, but that's just the razor fine line of hockey if it does go that way, just like going up 3-1 in the first place. |

No complaints besides the general inconsistency between games and periods... thought all of the calls against the Avalanche were fine and don't remember any blatant misses besides a boarding that could have gone against the Avalanche.
