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.

Excellent game. Russian goalkeepers are top-notch. Let's not allow Florida to get overly excited. This is only the start of the series. It will conclude in the seventh game.

[@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

[@brysonbullock2001]

As a bruins fan I really don’t like how good Florida looks rn

[@NicEeEe843]

As a cats fan I don’t like how good the bruins look 😂, I wouldn’t be surprised if they meet again and the bruins redeem themselves. They’re both really good teams

[@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.

[@justinnzamora5366]

Let's see if the Panthers can overcome their interstate rival for the first in their history. Out of the four wild cards, the Lightning are the most potent. Florida in 7.
