This Is Game 7 - 
from John Romano of The Tampa Bay Times,Step this way, boys. Destiny awaits.Some of you might recognize the passion in this place, others will wonder why the air seems a bit thin. And that thumping you hear? It’s the sound of anticipation. Or maybe just the acceleration of your heart.This is where memories are created. Where reputations are forged. Where legends are made.This is Game 7.Tell me, is there a better combination of two words in the world of sports? Even before a puck is dropped or a pitch is thrown, Game 7 conjures memories of heartbreak and heroics across decades. Across rinks, fields and courts.Devotees of football will tell you every playoff game in the NFL is a Game 7. And that’s true from a do-or-die perspective. But a single football game does not have the hour-by-hour plotlines of a Game 7. The gradual acceleration built over days and stitches.This is what 69:03 of glorious hockey in Game 6 bought

Playoffs Unite a Team, a City and it’s Fans 1. Utter Amazement Some of us, including this eternally dejected guy, felt like we might never again see this day. Not only are the Buffalo Sabres back in the playoffs at long last, but they just amazingly advanced into the second round. They will be one of eight remaining teams with a chance to lift Lord Stanley’s Cup. Except for the favorites in Colorado and Carolina, Buffalo has as good a chance as anyone to win it all. In fact, I would rate them in the top three or four with the best odds to win a championship. In a year of firsts, the Sabres just added another as they officially jettisoned Boston into the abyss. This is the Blue and Gold’s first playoff series win in 19 long, agonizing seasons. This magical year started with the Sabres first qualifying for the playoffs with an impressive run since back in early December. It would be their first post season appearance in 14 painful y

Minnesota strike first, defeat Victoire in OT - 
The Minnesota Frost wasted no time setting the tone, stealing home-ice advantage from the Montreal Victoire with a 5–4 overtime win in Game 1 on Saturday. Jincy Roese scored the winner 4:30 into overtime, firing a point shot that deflected off of goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens and trickled across the goal line.  Montreal’s Laura Stacey made history with the PWHL’s first playoff hat trick in a fast-paced, back-and-forth game that saw five goals scored in under eight minutes of game time between the second and third periods. “It’s a five-game series for a reason,” said Stacey. “They’re a good team, we’re a good team. At the end of the day, we just need to find a way to win.” Minnesota jumped out to a 2–0 first-period lead thanks to goals from Katy Knoll and captain Kendall Coyne Schofield. Montreal responded with goals from Shiann Darkangelo and Stacey to even things up. The game was already very physical, but it escalated to a whole n

Indiscipline costs Rocket in Game 2 as Marlies even up series - 
The Toronto Marlies took advantage of 10 power plays to score four power play goals and defeat the Laval Rocket 6-2 to even their best-of-five series at one game apiece. ”You can’t give up 10 power plays and expect to win the game,” Laval Rocket head coach Pascal Vincent said. The Rocket opened up a 2-0 lead with goals from Laurent Dauphin and Joshua Roy 1:24 apart, with Roy’s goal coming on the power play. They had an 11-3 advantage in shots at the time of Roy’s goal. It all unraveled from there for the Rocket. Just 12 seconds after Roy’s goal, he took a penalty, allowing Toronto to make the score 2-1 on a goal from Logan Shaw. ”We took a penalty right after the second goal, and it fell apart,” Vincent said. “That’s the story of the game. I won’t lie and say it was the forecheck or the penalty kill, it’s bad penalties, that’s it.” The Rocket took four more penalties in the second period, and the Marlies made them pay scoring twice
