Personally I'm hoping for Toronto, Edmonton or Winnipeg.
Anyone else watching and who are your faves
I enjoy the heck out of the stanley cup playoffs. My team (avs) were eliminated last night so i’m pulling for the panthers, again.
As a lifetime fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who as a young kid would get into bed on Hockey Night in Canada (Saturday nights) and listen to the iconic Foster Hewitt announce the games "HE SHOOTS. HE SCORES!!!" on the radio, all I can say is:
Although they don't show baseball on TV here, they DO show the NHL games, so I'll be spending a little more time on the TV.
Woo Hoo, the Leafs just beat the Panthers 5-4.
I'm honestly surprised the Leafs have made it this far. It is long overdue for them to take home the cup.
Have a cup of Tim Horton's coffee to celebrate. I brew it and drink it every morning - import the grounds from Canada
I haven't had Tim Horton's since my last tour of Afghanistan.
Lol as a lifetime diehard Leafs fan so am I
Did ya get it at the Timmies on the boardwalk in Kandahar/ Although I spent most of my time out in the boonies I did manage to get a cup there a time or two
Tim's coffee is my reminder of the times I've spent in their restaurants before I came here. The city I was born and grew up in, Hamilton, Ontario, was where ther first Tim Horton's opened. They're in China now - I'm hoping for one to open up near me.
At least I can remember the days when winning the Stanley Cup was usual fare for the Leafs.
I was a fan of Timmies coffee too but changed to McDonalds when they started using a weaker tasting blend. Hope you get yourself a fresh cup soon
I was only five when they last won so my memories of that win are a little sketchy
Just enjoyed my mug of Tim's coffee with breakfast a little over an hour ago.
That was 1967. I was 40 years old then and due to my age perhaps my memories are fading and I don't remember it. When I was a kid in the 1940s, the Leafs won the Cup 5 times, and then again in the 1950-51 season. Those and the 1960s were the Leafs' "Golden Years".
Just yesterday I posted that, and as if the TV was telling me I didn't know what I was talking about, I just finished watching a half-hour program on one of the Chinese language TV sports channels all about the development of training for and team playing of Chinese youth baseball. I really wished it had been in Englisih cause I would have liked to have heard what the kids were saying about the game.
That was the first game of a seven game series. Game 2 will start in a little more than 12 hours from now, which will be 7 in the morning for me.
That's EXACTLY where I got it. It was a must stop when we rolled in from FOB Wilson, Salerno and Farah.
I heard rumor that they were opening here in the states. I hope they do but I'm not holding my breath.
LOL. Well, I've said more than once here that I was never much good with math. What I said would have meant that i DID reach my aim of graduating from being an Olds 88 to an Olds 98. I was born in 1937 so that means I was 30 years old in 1967.
"In 2024, there are more than 5,700 Tim Hortons stores across 17 countries, including Mexico, Spain, the U.K. and the United States."
"Currently, Tim Hortons can be found in Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and West Virginia."
Maybe they'll be coming to North Carolina soon.
I hope. Dunkin and Starbucks suck.
Lol that and the Burger King. I had buddies out in Wilson, quite the wild west at the time. I spent most of my time at Deg eh Bagh and Masum Ghar
Back when we were in Zhengzhou there was a Dunkin Donuts that I used to go to in order to buy some frozen bagels. I never drank their coffee, but their donuts were pretty similar to Tim's donuts. As far as Starbucks goes, there is no way I want to pay 10 times what it costs me to brew a mug of coffee with Tim's coffee grounds.
I've done several tours in Afghanistan. Each one was at a different location. Was in Herat (Camp Stone) when the Battle of Bala Murghab in 2010. That was a real bad deployment for 4th BCT, 82d.
I was at Wilson in 2012. Our biggest problem was the Afghani military. Working with them was like working with klepto toddlers. If it wasn't bolted down and could be carried off they would try to steal it. I think we were the last NATO force to be there.
Dunkin's donuts are, really the only thing worth getting. But I'm not going to make a special trip or go out of my way for them. We have a Krispy Kreme bakery right here in Fayetteville, NC so I'll get those fresh.
I can still remember when Krispy Kreme opened its first place in Toronto. I thought they were sent from heaven. I think they're here only in Shanghai.
Yeah me too, quite the adventures
I can sypathize my last tour was colocated with the ANP, they had so many "accidents" with their weapons we had to bar them from being armed on our side of the compound (to be fair they were high most of the time). Lol and people wonder why neither the ANA or ANP were able to stand against the Taliban
Leafs take the second game, 4-3. Keep it up, Leafs.
Saw that, WooHoo is all I say. But the series is now moving to Florida so we'll see how the next two games go.
We had so many problems with their lack of driving skills and their weapons. So many negligent discharges and they pulled them on our Soldiers when they didn't get their way. We also had a problem with them going into the female quarters until they (our females) took a section of rebar and nearly killed one of the ANA officers.
Oh that was a MAJOR problem.
GREAT!!!! I've had a busy week and haven't been able to catch any of the games.
Thankfully not a problem we had as our females were colocated in the same tents as the male personnel in their unit. Anyways fun times and good memories now that I'm retired
You're probably not as interested but Edmonton took the second game in Vegas 5-4 to also lead their series 2-0 and now head back to Edmonton for the next two games.
Getting ready to watch Toronto's game 3 and Winnipegs game 2 tonight
I'm hoping to watch the Leafs play game 3 this morning. Until now they've been showing other games on TV here. Will drink an extra mug of Tim's if they do, breakfast in front of the TV.
Damn it, they aren't broadcasting the Leafs - Panthers third game. The third period just ended with the score tied 4 - 4, which means going into overtime, a very exciting time for the game.
Okay, the Panthers just gave their home fans the happiness of their 1st win of the series.
It could have gone either way but lets hope for a split in Florida
On another note Winnipeg won their game and the series is now tied 1-1
Finally hoping that Edmonton can take game 3 at home tonight for a 3-0 series lead
I was hoping that the Leafs would have done yesterday what the Oilers did, so they would only have had to win one game out of the four next to move up, but they blew the second period, and they know it, I read the story.
Well Edmonton is the first team to advance to the conference finals. However Toronto and Winnipeg are on the verge of being eliminated, fingers crossed they can somehow turn it around
The Leafs blew the last game so badly I have no hopes for them.
Lol it was pretty ugly
The deciding 7th game will be played in Toronto on May 18, so there can still be hope. Remember what Andy Dufresne wrote to Red in the movie The Shawshank Redemption: "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies."
Lol the Leafs have decided to make it a best of one series. Well as I've heard said "Hope springs eternal"
I'll definately be on the edge of my seat watching on Sunday. Hopefully Winnipeg can win tonite to tie up ther series as well
7:30 p.m. Sunday in Toronto will be 7:30 a.m. Monday where I am. They have not been showing the Leafs games, maybe because that early time slot is reserved for something else, but they've been showing the Oilers games. I hope, because it's so important, that they will show the Leafs game tomorrow - we'll see.
I hope you can see it
Happy Victoria Day long weekend to you
LOL. Victoria Day means a lot less to me now, while the Dragon Boat Festival coming up the end of this month is more important for me now - especially the great festival food.
I guessed as much, just thought I'd give you a laugh
PS: the Jays have been sliding lately and are now two games below 500. They just can't seem to get the bats going
It's awfully sad to see the Jays trying so hard to beat the Cubs' record.
DAMN this Chinese TV!!! They won't show this winner-take-all Maple Leafs vs Panthers deciding 7th game. Instead they're showing swimming and track events - cause, after all, there are Chinese contestants in them so who gives a damn about us. Now I'll have to follow the scores being posted.
Damn that sucks. Well currently it's a few minutes into the first period and the score is still 0-0

if you can get this link on the NHL website you can follow a play by play In text of the game.
ESPN has the same sort of thing
Panthers vs. Maple Leafs (May 18, 2025) Play-by-Play - ESPN
Thanks, JR, for the suggestion. When I was a kid before there was TV I loved to listen to the play-by-play being related by the iconic sports broadcaster Foster Hewitt on the radio, but I simply no longer have the patience to watch the plays listed in text ss they happen. I'll just watch the score changes and hope that the Leafs prevail.
bad news buzz, florida is winning 2-0 half way through the second period
Half way through the second period and the Panthers lead 3 - 0. I sure as hell feel sorry for all those Toronto fans who are at the game. I don't have much hope now that the Leafs are going to turn their sad reputation around.
5 to 1 with 4 minutes left in the game. Goodbye, Leafs. Keep extending your record. At least I can remember the Leafs' Golden Years. Memories.
Well it was a good run while it lasted and as us Toronto fans are used to saying "There's always next year"
I guess it's time to start pinning my hopes on the Oilers
After 58 dry years, it's hard to be an optimist.

I thought Dallas was to play Winnipeg?
The Flyers aren't in it so I may watch the Stars since I live near Frisco where they practice.
“I thought Dallas was to play Winnipeg?”
that’s correct.
Yup their series starts Wednesday
Good first round matchups. Hopefully that continues.
2nd round matchups
Toronto vs Florida
Edmonton vs Las Vegas
Winnipeg vs Dallas
Washington vs Carolina
I'm for any Canada team because my Penguins aren't in it
I think this is the first time in a decade the Pens didn't make the playoffs. I was disappointed but we've had a lot of issues.
