It's like the shots of Mahomes throwing off his jacket during :13... those two guys scoring a goal, just to see someone else **** it up, just for them to score again, just to see someone **** it up...

The Canucks didn't really impress in the first round, so I'm kind of hoping for another round of MacKinnon vs McDavid (and at the same time being careful what I wish for).

Yeah, kind of why I picked EDM. McDavid and Draisaitl are a lot of fun to watch. Might as well watch a pair of elite players do their thing if I can't watch my Blues in the playoffs.

I watch the Oilers quit a bit. They are so fun to watch and Hyman too. With that said I just don’t see them getting by Dallas or Colorado. Goaltending and the backend to me would be their downfall. Unless of course they score 6 goals a game

Boston ties it up
