Crabcake Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I have never seen a league so committed to recycling the same coaches around the entire league quite like the NHL. I half expect that when DeBoer, Laviolette, Trotz, Gallant, Sutter, Vigneault, Torts, Yeo, Hitchcock, and Quenneville retire the NHL will just fold because they don’t know that other coaches exist. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAD! Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 ... and once again, the Maple Leafs are going to regret not winning their first round series in seven games... Quote I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Rangers are probably done after that. Much as I don’t want to see the Lightning 3-peat, a Lightning v. Avalanche Cup Final would probably be glorious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueYankee26 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Yeah, that is the end. Rangers had a memorable season. I love this team and appreciate them forever. Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 They would suspend Trouba if they gave a about player safety. Luckily he missed but this is pretty blatant headhunting from a guy with a history of headhunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 The Rangers won Games 1 and 2 and gave me hope. But the 'Ning Dynasty is not to be stopped.

For those who don't subscribe to The Athletic, he essentially debunks all the theories for why it's gone on this long and concludes that's it's likely some sort of combination of factors. This poll is a good indicator that this whole narrative is more important to the media than it actually is to Canadian hockey fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say he's debunking them because he also provides the reasons why each cause makes sense. He's just laying out reasons to explain why this might be happening. He finishes with "I don’t think we can settle on one answer. I’ve given you the eight best theories that are out there, and none of them stands out as being unassailable. But that doesn’t mean we’ve come up empty. Most complicated problems have more than one cause, so we can pick and choose from our options here. Personally, put me down for a mix of theories 3 and 7, a little bit of theory 5, and a healthy dollop of theory 8. Your recipe might be different, and I’m open to hearing it, or any other theories you might want to share. " And where have I seen this before? "There are seven Canadian franchises, nearly a full quarter of the NHL’s 32 teams. Those numbers have changed over the years, but the ratio has been roughly consistent, meaning you’d expect a Canadian team to win a Cup every four or five years. Instead, nothing." 3 minutes ago, spartacat_12 said: This poll is a good indicator that this whole narrative is more important to the media than it actually is to Canadian hockey fans. The extent to which people care is separate from your initial point that a Canadian cup drought doesn't even exist. It does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tp49 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 As an Islander fan this ECF is the worst of all worlds. I hate the Rangers and want them to lose out but since the Lightning beat us in the last two ECF's can't exactly root for them either. So I guess I'm rooting for the Avalanche from here out.

The law of averages only works if it's a different team winning the Cup every year. In the 29 years since Montreal's last title only 14 different teams have won. Also if you expand the sample size to the last 38 years (including this year), Canadian teams have won 8 Cups. That works out to just over 20%.

DoctorWhom Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Don't really have a dog left here except wanting Tampa to lose because them being the NHL's Warriors and 3peateing in the East. If I had to choose, I guess I have pull for Colorado here since as a Bruins fan, they gave Ray Bourque the Cup the Bruins never could. So I guess I have a soft spot for them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Steven Stamkos' game winning goal is when he pushed Igor's glove and the puck slips out and enters the net, after he made the save. What a terrible way to end a series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
