Even the Crying Jordan shaped mask on the last page was more creative. If mildly unsettling.

I thought this one was a little better...

Crying Subban has been used like the crying Jordan. They just put it on sad Giguere.

 

Yeah, but why would Subban be sad that his team beat the Ducks? People aren't thinking when they throw these memes together. They're just reflexive and sh!! out the first thing the meme playbook tells them. Plus that's like 3 memes deep and you'd need to be up to speed on your memeology to follow. Giguere wasn't even on the current Ducks.

You're looking for creativity and logic where none exists, my friend.

Hoping the Perds don't win and PK doesn't take the Cup to the Children's Hospital.

If anyone's team isn't in the Finals, they really should be rooting for this to happen.

Nashville has won as many playoff series, this season, as they have all nine prior playoffs, combined.

 

Oh, and of those six series victories, three have come at the expense of the Anaheim Ducks.

So let's try something new. 

 

No more regional dick measuring. No more "Tennessians are racists" and no more "Canadians are stupid for liking Canada."

 

I'm convinced that we wouldn't be retreading the same arguments over and over if it weren't for those two lines of "discussion." So consider them, and all forms of regional grandstanding, off limits for the rest of these playoffs. And all the ones afterward.

 

Let's see how that goes.

I agree with the sentiment. Just to clarify, though, my comment about someone feeding Admiral, after midnight, was an attempt to diffuse the situation with humor, not escalate things.

 

I didn't see any of the mod-edited comments, so it seems it had the opposite effect. I guess it was taken as a jab, rather than "whoah, dude, calm down."

It was more a nuking of the conversation rather than an attempt to punish anyone in particular. 

 

I'm just tired of rehashing the same arguments over and over again. 

If people want to piss and moan about Canadians or southerners liking the places they're from? Well you all know the way to HFBoards.

Boy, this game has me pissed. Reverse a good goal due to "interference," penalize Guentzel for the weakest interference call ever, and miss a clear trip behind the net. Damn poor officiating.

Scheduling loss alert!!!!!!!

 

Ducks complain that compressed playoff schedule is part of the reason why they lost in the Western Conference finals.

 

Hey Carlyle, shut up.  You could have gotten some time off to prepare and rest up for the WCF had your team not lost Game 6 by six goals.

[FiddySicks]

A Predators Senators Stanley Cup Finals sounds like an EA Sports NHL franchise mode induced nightmare. And my goodness do I hope we get that. 

 

Go Sens in game 7. Please don't :censored: this up, Pittsburgh. You're basic and boring. Go away.

Seriously, at least one team is generally affected by this, every playoffs. Last year, the Preds had the same turnaround. Yeah it's inconvenient, but it's nothing new. Just consider it incentive to close out your series, in six or fewer.
