Panthers were, unfortunately, always the best team in the conference if they were healthy and playing at their best which they are, unfortunately, now doing.

Fav post-game moment from last night was Tanev saying "this one's on me, I'll take the blame" which is hilarious.

Athletic headline: “ Why Maple Leafs’ Game 5 loss might be their worst one yet”

A truly amazing franchise

So many Habs fans in the comments on that one complaining that once again, someone said that the 2021 Habs team wasn't very good ("Or in 2021, in blowing a 3-1 series lead to a not-very-good Montreal Canadiens team in the first round.")

A couple of games a go a JERTS fan friend of mine texted "Is this what it's like to be an Oilers fan with Skinner in net? Any shot can go in." ... today, he's wishing for some Skinner-esque performances in the next three games.

I only watched the second period, but I had zero comfort in Skinner making any save / read. He got comically out of the net at one point (recalling the Smith goal to end game three) but got bailed out by his D.
