    My reacting was a 180 from two years prior.. instead of being overjoyed, I just bent over and sighed in relief. Then celebrated.

    Then came games 1, 2, 4 & 5 of the final.

    This is also the 10th anniversary of Oberyn Martell having his head crushed by the Gregor Clegane

    I forgot how incredibly stressful this game was to watch lol

  4. This was the most stressful sporting event I’ve ever watched. The relief at the OT goal was so extreme I didn’t even celebrate. l initially just let it settle in.

    Easily one of the most stressful games I ever watched in my life. Also one of the best series I’ve ever watched, emotional rollercoaster

    Maybe it’s hindsight, but I remember being nervous but still had full faith in that team. Bend but never break. Been chasing that feeling in the Kings for 10 years now.

    Never screamed louder for a goal in my life than Martinez in this overtime.

    Fucking best game ever

    Halcyon says if there ever were ones for this franchise.

  11. We just kept coming back, I had full in faith in us winning and when we did, I jumped, literally screaming with joy.
