If Toronto isn’t in America, then how come I’ve heard of it? #MAGA

It happened in suburban Atlanta.

Being able to substitute a finals-winning goalie for another finals-winning goalie is a very great problem to have.

You’re not wrong, but I also don’t think they were wrong to yank him. Goalies are notorious headcases; whether they were his fault or not, you can’t leave him out there to keep getting his ass kicked, lest it get in is head even more. Gotta change something when a game is going that horribly, and why not let Murray…

It is not so much the Penguins goaltending but Ottawa’s defense. The Penguins have only scored 3 goals this series.

Great moments in lying to yourself:

I’m one of those C’s fans who wisely watched hockey last night.

I’m one of those Cs fans who yesterday afternoon, chatting by the water cooler, threw out the “Ya know, Jae Crowder is pretty solid physically, he could give LeBron some difficulty” theory.

I moved from Ottawa to Chicago, and although I miss Ottawa in a lot of ways, I don’t the lack of perspective from citizens about their city; it’s not just about hockey.

“And, to their reflexively defensive fans: Why would you ever give the slightest shit if national ratings are bad, or if I, some rando on the internet, find their games a little less fun to watch. Enjoy winning, buttheads.”

I love the Conference Finals this year because in both conferences it is Elite Offense Stars vs. Elite Defensive stars. Getzlaf/Perry vs. Josi/Subban et. all, Karlsson vs. Crosby/Malkin.

Never forget:

Do you know what would make the Senators much more fun to watch?

I could be wrong (I’m not), but I think the writer was talking about the vibe of the fanbase around the previous teams and the difference with THIS (very current) team.

Buhhhh, yeah, me too.

On the Mahinmi point, all I could think about was Scott Brooks trotting out a totally done Kendrick Perkins when he was with OKC.

I mean, this is a worthy observation, but also, I can think of reasons why this number wouldn’t exonerate the guy who decides how to rotate the players.

Probably it’s not fair to pick on you for a take that I’ve seen written down here in the comments like 500 times in these playoffs, but, I fucking hate this take. You really can’t conceive of any reason to want your team to advance in the playoffs other than a clear likelihood that they’ll be the one team in the…

Guys, I just died.
