So much better quality than the NHL channel

[@Draconix6]

Yup, I switched to Sportsnet replays after NHL started adding fake crowd noises... and I'm never going back. I just wish these videos were in 60 FPS also.

[@pauljmorton]

@@Draconix6 60fps and 1080p at least. 4K would be exquisite but of course sports is never in 4K.

I like that they use the national broadcast instead of always using the local home team announcers no matter what.

That pass by Barkov on the Florida power play was the definition of world class. You are lucky to witness it folks.

[@DogInPajamaPants]

Watching his playmaking year after year, I'm starting to feel like I could put one in behind a NHL goalie if he fed me.🤣

[@BCFilmss]

Who’s the commentator?

[@ratiquette]

2:20 please if anyone from Sportsnet reads this, just do a hard slice on the audio next time you need to edit out an audible curseword or whatever that was. The fade makes it sound like a transition and is super jarring

[@TorZireael]

No annoying fake crowd sounds and the highlights actually shows action from every period. Guess I'm changing from the NHL to Sportsnet highlights.

[@mikewood8561]

Both teams had great opportunities, just came down to goaltending and placement of shots. Tb shots were right at the goalie. They should've chose an upper corner or anything else except right at the goalies chest.

[@HigherFlyinBird]

Another 30 win season and he pass Tony Esposito for the 10th rank all-time. At 5 wins from Plante and 9th spot..

[@HunterMagunter]

Can't see anyone stopping the panthers

[@DogInPajamaPants]

If Canes get through Rangers (or Caps...) that might be a hell of a conference final rematch, both teams looks much better than they did a year ago.

[@elitetrader5468]

I worry about the Rangers.

Kinda crazy that Tampa was able to make it such a close game despite generating almost no offense. Panthers have to basically be perfect or they're gonna lose.

Yes he must do this since Florida doesn't have any other good players.

And their depth guys Montour, Forsling, Verhaeghe, Lundell, Tarasenko, just traaaaaaash!
