Unocal Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 5 minutes ago, dont care said: Hurricanes oilers, or flames lightning Which would be ironic considering that CAR/EDM was the first SCF of this OLN/VERSUS/NBCSN era and MTL/NYI would bookend that era And CGY/TB was ESPN's last SCF of the previous era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 That game sucked. That goon Mayfield, who ran off Kucherov and tried to run off Stamkos, scoring the tying goal was just an extra kick in the nuts. Oh well, back to Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure those fanbases would get used to it by now. Vegas being the exception as they are barely 10 years old. I mean, last year I threw a hissyfit because I want them to win the Stanley Cup this time, only to get denied by Dallas (who are way down South, btw). Speaking of which, how long till they drop into mediocrity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTConcepts Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Feel free to delete because of the foul language, but good lord was Eddie O annoying after last night's game. Isles fans were celebrating a huge comeback win at what may be the last ever game at the Nassau Coliseum. Let 'em have their moment. Let hockey be rowdy. It's how it's been, how it is, and how it always should be. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to defend other Lightning fans because even I find a lot of them to be an insufferable bunch but I think any Lightning fans are pretty justified in being upset. The NHL assigns Chris Lee, who has zero business still officiating games in these playoffs, to this game and he proceeds to no-call a blatant cheapshot that happens three feet in front of him which results in the playoff point leader playing a single shift. Then, because there's no consequences, the same player crosschecks Stamkos head first into the boards to end the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 If you try hard enough, you'll find insufferable fans in every single fanbase on the planet. You can question whether hockey should still be in places like Sunrise, FL or Phoenix on account of the fact that those have never been particularly profitable franchises, raising questions about whether there's enough of a hockey appetite in those areas, but that kind of gatekeeping "should've never given hockey to the south" comment is bull . Not going to apologize for saying that. You're whining about a player getting unfairly singled out by the referee in a post-whistle skirmish (which was later cancelled out by two pillow soft penalties shortly thereafter, as it turned out). Lightning fans are whining about their best player getting knocked out of the game on a vicious cross check that the referee said "nah" in response to. You wouldn't be whining if Barzal got knocked out of the game under similar circumstances? And as far as "about to win their third Cup", well, let me know when that happens. There's just as good a chance the Lightning are going to have their third blown 3-2 lead in the ECF (or equivalent) in the last six seasons as there is a chance they're going to win their third Cup this season as things stand right now.

DEAD! Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 As more of a neutral fan, I think the cross check on Kucherov should have been called and may be the one Stamkos as well. The whole beer can thing is not such a big deal. It's not like Hogan put the leg drop on Randy Savage or anything. Honestly, can we stop the crap about how NHL should not be in the south or something to that effect? OK, some markets need to be reevaluated constantly (see Arizona), but it's not like it's a total failure. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 I want to see the Isles win because I'm loving the story of them playing their final season in the old Barn and what better way to open the new era next season then winning the Cup one last time in the old Barn? Just the whole thought has such a romantic feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Comet Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Markets can only be successful or failures if given the opportunity. Ottawa should naturally be a success, right? Wait, you mean they’ve had a moronic owner that’s about to do the NHL equivalent of going bankrupt selling sweet tea to Southerners? And that common thread is why so many teams across all sports have failed regardless of the market? No, must just be stupid dumbdumb rednecks who can’t tell the difference between a zamboni and a zipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue the same reason Arizona's struggled historically is the exact same reason the Isles floundered for decades; terrible ownership. The Ellman-Moyes bankruptcy era was brutal for fan interest in the Coyotes, much like ASG's reign of terror was for the Thrashers. You can't get a market with lots of other things to do and watch invested in a team that's constantly bad, never makes the postseason and spends more time leaking off-ice drama than anything else. Nobody invests in that team because the team is bad and never gives them reason to invest. Why bother paying to watch a :censored:ty hockey team in the arena when you could spend that time watching the game at a bar or something? At least you'd be able to have some fun at that bar instead of spending a couple of hours sitting and watching a bad hockey team. I remember the days when Nashville and Tampa were hot topics for relocation. They turned around by falling into the hands of competent ownership; who's to say the Coyotes aren't in a similar boat?
