    With Penguins out of it I doubt many follow but have to tell of game 7 between Winnipeg Jets and STL. Blues. If I'm a Blues fan I didn't sleep last night.

    3-1 Blues with 2 minutes to go. Jet pull their goalie. Jets get a lucky bounce and make it 3-2. 1.6 seconds left in game and Jets tie it up. Jets won in 2nd OT.

    OT in Playoffs is tough to stay up for. I remember in 2000 PENS/Flyers went to 5 OT's. Longest game in NHL I think. 7 frigging hours. Sister and I kept calling each other to see if we were still up. 2-1 Flyers won and I did not sleep that night.

    Guess I'm pulling for the Oilers. Rooting against the Caps.

    And then there were 8.

    West:

    Winnipeg @ Dallas. (like when the Dallas fans yell "Stars" when it's said in our National Anthem) Think wins: Stars / Hope wins: Jets

    Las Vegas @ Edmonton. Think Oilers win and I hope so.

    East:

    Toronto @ Florida. Think wins: Panthers / Hope wins: Maple Leafs (I always root for them ever since I saw one of their fans take a hard shot to the mouth by a Flyer fan)

    Washington @ Carolina. Think Caps but hope like hell it's the Hurricanes.

    I'd love an all Canadian Cup. It's more their sport anyway.

    After last night I became a Jets fan. I was just getting up to go to bed. Had remote in my hand and Jets made it a 1 goal game. I stood the last 2 minutes and was all set to switch it off and they frigging tied it with 1 second left. Nodded the whole first OT. Was lucky to wake up for game winner.

    TBH I want Edmonton. I liked Conner McDavid first time I watched him and want him to hoist the Cup.

    Edmonton/Toronto Final would be sweet for me.

    I like that too. Leafs have had a drought. Oilers are just really good. I thought they would win it last year.

    Good game last night. Panthers tried to come back but Maple Leafs held on to take a 1-0 lead in series.

    Draft lottery was last night. Islanders won. Penguins get 11th pick. I still remember the year we got lucky and got to draft Sidney Crosby. 3 Cups later......
