If the Coyotes fanbase are endangered, could we call Chargers fans in LA a species that's extinct in the wild after the Rams won a Super Bowl?

Florida moves on for the first time since '96 with this series victory. The Caps are ruing their missed chances to be up 3-1 in the series let alone winning it. There were too many blown leads and too little accountability. I'm happy that they managed to win 2 games in the series, but man would have been awesome if they finally made it past the first round. Just like the Kings, we haven't won a round since winning the Stanley Cup. I expect there to be significant roster changes in the offseason, preferably jettisoning older vets in any way possible. The team needs to get younger to compete in today's NHL. I also believe that this is the start of many lean years for the Caps as Ovechkin pursues Gretzky's regular season goal record. If the Caps make it back to the playoffs again, it might be another one-and-done series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I would normally find stuff like this insufferable, especially considering the franchise it’s coming from, but if I’m being honest I kind of like seeing some of the keyboard warriors with empty space between their ears getting called out for this kind of uninspired and creatively deficient “trash talk” that makes 95% of sports fan Twitter absolutely unbearable. Especially when said keyboard warriors are fans of a Boston franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 The Flames are not playing as well as I thought they would. It's still just a one goal lead, but this isn't their best game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhom Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Flames are actually playing exactly as I thought they would. Which is a shame because I wanted Battle of Alberta. This would be the 2nd time the go 1 & done as the #1 seed. You can ALWAYS count on Calgary to underachieve. I don't know which Alberta team is more hopeless, them or the Oilers. At least Edmonton made the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninersdd Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Thank god we get the Battle of Alberta and not say Oilers/Stars or Flames/Kings if it came to that. Kings/Stars would've been kinda fun to see Pavelski get another crack at LA. Can't wait for Round 2!

TrueYankee26 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Panarin' s OT goal completed the 3-1 comeback for the Rangers. Good to see. Carolina will be tougher opponent though and I think the Rangers run ends here trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's very rarely called but its also rarely that blatant on top of leading directly to a prime scoring chance. He stares Cirelli down, makes a late swerve to get directly in his way, and initiates contact. I don't understand why anyone would think that shouldn't have been called. Also, contrary to what people think, the whistle was blown before the shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
