Crabcake Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 3 hours ago, Cosmic said: Never. Winning the ultimate prize in their sport is absolutely never the worst thing that can happen to a team. Exactly. His points in general still stand but I will never think that Cup was anything but the best thing that ever happened to this otherwise luckless franchise. Now, letting Barry Trotz go, that’s another story, but I wanna save my full thoughts on that for Sunday when the Bruins put us out to pasture and officially slam our Cup window shut.

I could see this series go the distance, if the Penguins find a way to get back into this. is this the only truly competitive series going on right now? that's what it feels like. everything else just kinda feels like what everyone expected to happen happening.

Well the first 3 games of was/bos series went to OT, wheels fell off for the caps the last game but it was Atleast competitive to that point. and the Bruins are the lower seed winning, also tor/mon series is getting competitive too.

I dunno if I'd call the game that boiled down to "Toronto beating the tires off the Habs for three periods" competetive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh it’s an even series, Montreal could come back tomorrow and do the same to the leafs. Doesn’t really matter how much you win each game by if you score 1000 more goals than the other team during a series but still lose the series.

Most of the "experts" predicted the Isles/Pens series to go 7 so I guess it falls into that category of what everyone expected to happen too.

Ask, and you shall receive. And to think, I was expecting this series to go the distance...what a naive fool I was. I stand by the fact that I think Washington is the ultimate "regular season" team. They'll win almost all the games that don't "matter", but lose all the games that do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the empty seats in the MTS Place are covered in white. Even without the crowd, the Winnipeg Whiteout lives on, during the pandemic. Brilliant attention to detail.

Crabcake Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 How insane is it that in two separate sports, we are seeing generational talents who are stratospheres above the rest of the league be completely and utterly wasted by the teams around them? The Oilers don’t deserve Connor McDavid just like the Angels don’t deserve Mike Trout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what they get for continuing to let it be a one man team. I didn't know Mike Smith is 39 years old, until the commentator mentioned it. His best years have got to be behind him. I'm not surprised to see the Jets overpower this Oilers team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
