In terms of pure hockey, excitement and drama it is hard to ask for a better first three games.

I feel bad for both fan bases but this is tremendous content.

THIS SERIES ROCKS

It IS Mitch Marner's night

This ... this is not Carolina's night.

That is way offside.

The Carolina Hurricanes youth hockey program should be called the Tropical Storms.

You all did not get to know solitaire until she was not doing well, and that was sad, so you should get to know her sister (same litter!), Sniffles. She's also amazing and a wonderful girl.

If Lowe is hurt ... oof. Nightmare game.

Ashcraft just did not have it today. They are absolutely smoking him. Probably due for a game like this. But man, he is getting crushed.

I am perfectly fine with the Pirates playing .500 ball on the road, and that is more than acceptable. Just gotta win one of these two games today or tomorrow to get there on this trip. Today is not looking promising.

Lot of hard contact against Ashcraft in this inning. These are not soft singles.

Everything about this is incredible.

That game was ELECTRIC.

This Knicks team is relentless.

That's some soft officiating.

The best concert in Pittsburgh tonight.

Simply not getting enough from Mitch Keller right now.

"Amazing"

Dylan Larkin reportedly wants a trade. So I looked at six teams that seem like logical potential landing spots. bleacherreport.com/articles/254...

Mark Messier is ready to fight somebody.

Say this for this Pittsburgh Pirates team. Every time they lose a game that looks like it is going to absolutely ruin their season they find a way to get over it. Won the series. That is all you can ask for on the road. Just avoid a sweep in Atlanta and a .500 road trip works.

The Tortorella experience in Vegas has been wild. Lot of wins Cost them a draft pick Cost himself a lot of money Challenging random shit. He's just in absolute "who gives a shit" mode.

That was an absolutely horrible challenge lol.

Your reminder that goalie interference and judgement calls should not be reviewable.

How the hell did that not go in?!

haha oh man what a shot. what play!

Hold on to your butts time in Raleigh.

How far ahead do the Pirates have to be tonight for you to be comfortable?

If I were Red Wings ownership/management this Larkin situation would be a "holy shit" moment. He's your captain. Longest tenured player. Voiced displeasure after last season about the GM's inactivity at the deadline. Now wants out. That's a pretty crushing blow to the Yzer-plan, is it not?

Can confirm this is good life advice

Just referred to tonight as "three mile island type stuff."

It's not his fault, but you couldn't have broken a window with the softball questions Don Kelly got tonight.

Zangrilli sounds defeated talking about the bullpen.

Apr 12 at CHI: 6-4 lead (B8 w/2outs): 89% win prob Apr 27 vs. StL: 2-0 lead (T9 w/1 out: 95% win prob May 10 at SF: 6-4 lead (B10 w/2 out): 88% win prob May 15 vs. PHI: 9-6 lead (T9 w/1 out): 96% win prob June 3 at HOU: 9-5 lead (B2 w/2 out): 98% win Prob Lost them all.

A 9-5 lead with two outs in the eighth inning. And they are going to lose. This will be at least the fifth game this year where they've had a win probability of 88% or higher in the 8th inning or later that they've lost. Pathetic.

This bullpen will cost them a playoff spot.

Fire this bullpen into the sun.

Mason Montgomery had two outs, nobody on base, the bottom of the order up, and a three-run lead. Pathetic. Pathetic stuff.

You score nine runs and do not feel comfortable with this bullpen.

Not a betting man but if I were I'd be throwing the house up on Yordan Alvarez tying this game.

This Knicks team isn't just outstanding, they also have guts.

Would like to see the Pirates add on another run here at some point.

I can't believe people running on NBA courts doesn't happen more often.

Has anybody ever asked Garcia if he actually likes his nickname?

Nick Gonzales: Helps redeem himself!

I have no idea what a balk looks like. None. Even when you show me the replay of it, I have no idea what I am supposed to be looking at 95 percent of the time.

If Gonzales had done that on the first four balls he had hit to him tonight this is a 4-1 game at worst right now. I am not letting this go.

These two things are equally true: 1) Paul Skenes has not been his normal self these past four starts. 2) The defense has mostly sabotaged the past two starts.
