Tonight I'm watching Jets VS Blues 19:00h #HNOM
@mike There was an opinion piece in the Winnipeg Free Press on Friday related to this. The writer created and copyrighted the phrase Sports Affective Condition (SAC), defined as: “A phenomenon whereby a sports event, team participant or organization can have a positive or negative effect on individuals, groups or communities, locally, nationally or internationally.”
I am going to be on edge about tonight’s game but am not going to let it control me. Maybe…

@graand @wpgguy @ValueSubtracted The early rounds of the #NHL playoffs can be quite good, but recent Stanley Cup finals have often been anticlimactic. #HNOM
Kids today don't know they're born. Back in my day, we didn't have any of this 'second chance' crap. We made our picks, we published and then we watched on in horror as our entire bracket fell apart in front of our eyes.
Honestly, the 2019 Tampa Bay Lightning have a *lot* to answer for.
@reporterchris new baby bounce for Rd. 2 😀
@wpgguy Agreed. A big difference is the format though. During the regular season there is little incentive to target star player because you don’t play them again. In playoffs you get immediate benefit if that player is either out of the lineup or diminished. Not sure the answer other than to have a few big hitters in the lineup. May not help win the presidents cup but is almost necessary for a playoff run.

I’m going to just say it, the #NHL playoffs are often not fun to watch. When it becomes more of a ‘take the opponent out of the game’ rather than play the damn game I am just not here for it. Heavy hits, aggressive play for the puck, I’m all in but deliberate attempts to seriously injure opponents, not so much. This starts to become the old “Broad Street bullies” type of game that got cleaned up years ago. If anyone wants that go watch roller derby…

"Yeah, really, no words to describe, you know, the belief in the group, you know, the whole team of ours, you know, there was no quit at any point, you know, I think. Obviously, they get a goal first, shift of the third and but we just kept going, you know, they were still chatter on the bench and we we knew we got to earn a couple bounces and we did and a big win so I'm happy for the group."
