One of the very few things I don't like about hockey. Celebrating and having a personality are frowned upon

Divisional series are only best of 5. 2-2-1.
Edit: ha, should have assumed that would get answered quicker.

It's a best of five
2 in Texas, 2 in T.O. and they return to Arlington for game 5.

I'll go start the "why do baseball players celebrate like they won the World Series" thread and you go start the "savemedrzaius tips for being a dink" thread.

Didn't mean to be dinkish. Just seems like some people like to take hockey rules and apply them to baseball.
Didn't see that you were asking a legit question.

Jon Meoli, Orioles reporter: The deepest bullpen in baseball posted zeroes for five innings, and came up one inning short. The million-dollar question is, and will be "What happened to Zach Britton?" The Orioles closer was up for the eighth inning, then wasn’t used, as Brad Brach, Darren O’Day, and Brian Duensing pieced together the ninth, 10th, and 11th innings. Duensing gave way to the loser, Ubaldo Jimenez, and the game quickly ended. Only injury can explain why Britton, the Cy Young-worthy closer, didn’t get in the game. But there’s not much need to explain just why the Orioles managed only four hits. This offense was boom-and-bust all year, especially down the stretch, and they only went boom once Tuesday. What a disappointing way for the season to end.

Seeing the response of Oriole's catcher Matt Weiters was classic. I think he was the first one to know it was gone.

They seem to most of the time. Edwin did say in English "That's why I want to come back here!" when they were interviewing him in the locker room.

If Britton wasn't injured, it's really odd that Showalter didn't bring him in. Their season was on the line in the bottom of the 9th, 10th and 11th. Especially the 9th and 11th. Confusing management if Britton was good to go.

Watching the replay 100 times, it gets better every time. So good.

some managers won't use their closer on the road unless it's for a save.

High drama. I don't have the time to follow regular season baseball but playoffs are something else.
And that bullpen. Five no-hit innings. Pretty damn impressive.

Yeah, I don't get it. If you can get 6 automatic outs, why don't you bring him in starting with JD there? Doesn't make any sense. You're bound to score before you get back to that part of the order.
