That's an odd thing for money to say

It's a game 7 though. 20 min left. This isn't 2006 Calgary and Anaheim game 7. I actually expect the home team to make a push

[Timbo]

Lots of time left. I’m leaning on the Jets side but if Nashville wins it’s all good in my world.
I’m hoping for an exciting 3rd.

How is it game over?

It's highly unlikely anything other than "people" would act like it's game over. Sabre-tooth tigers, for instance, probably aren't thinking about the game one way or another.

That was pretty good.

He also made a great point about the Preds not patronizing Rinne after that display. Save it for the intermission, which it looks like is exactly what the Preds did.

[Nelson]

The Preds are gonna come out absolutely flying. This game is not over. Go Jets Go!!!

[White Out 403]

It's not over. 20 mins and the Preds only need 2 goals. not 3. Overtime can take a million years.

I'm still fully clenched.

What's less common, money uttering the words "you'd love to be wrong," or the Oilers making the playoffs?

How is your strange girl doing?

[EVERLAST]

Watching the jets makes me think Maurice is allot smarter than he gets credit for.
He’s made the necessary adjustments. Laviolette on the other hand looks like he is getting schooled outside of pulling Rinne he’s made no adjustments to keep the preds ahead......I Mean they dominated the jets in game 6 and here we are.

I’ve been watching these coaches carefully this playoffs and I see so many different reactions but none of them seem like what we’d have seen Gulutzen make. He just had nothing at all. He talked about stuff that never translated into what should be happening on the ice. Enough about that though.

Let’s go Jets. Let’s do this.

Cassie, we are all looking for Peter Forsberg.

I will bet you that the predators tie this game. Loser has to come out at play at the next puckers game

People are quick to forget teams like the Maple Leafs blowing 4-1 leads in the third period with nine minutes left a couple years back against the Bruins in Game 7. Next goal (if there is one) will be huge.

[CedarMeter]

Jets are shutting them down.

I agree it's too soon to definitively call it, but what are the realistic changes that the Preds score 3 unanswered goals, at least 2 of which in the remaining 13 minutes?

The Toronto-Boston game was legendary because it was such a low chance of actually happening

[acerbic_1]

I've come to realize that I don't actually "enjoy" watching game seven's or Grey Cups if I have a horse in the game. They're much more entertaining the second time and only if we've won. Go Jets!

[White Out 403]

Nashville gets away with another one. Christ.

[troutman]

Jets would have home ice vs Vegas.

Another oddity, if Winnipeg wins, they'll be the only team in the Conference Finals to not have won their Division in the regular season, yet they will have home ice advantage in the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final if they get there.

I don't think even 3 division winners have made it. Plus there were those 6 division years.

This game is boring.
