Sport Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 19 hours ago, JerseyJimmy said: not sure why, but this feels like Dallas' cup to lose. them being by far the least interesting potential winner might have something to do with it. The Stars have been the most quietly good team for the last five years, including 2019 when they were a goal away from eliminating eventual cup champ St. Louis. I just can't ever be arsed to have an opinion about them. Jamie Benn is an airhead and Tyler Seguin is...also an airhead. Who's their best defenseman? A no-nonsense Fin. Snooze. I'll be pulling for the Oilers. The Stars have had a :censored: of a first two rounds and eventually it'll catch up to them. In the Former Blue Jackets Bowl I'll probably find myself pulling for the Rangers, but I really have nothing against the Panthers. With all of the Penguins, Red Wings, Bruins, Hurricanes, Lightning, Blackhawks, Kings, or Golden Knights it'll be a relatively stress free conference finals from this hockey fan and that almost never happens when you hate too many teams like I do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stars are loaded with veterans who have never won before, which is always a great story. I'd love to see Benn, Pavelski, Duchene, Suter all lift the Cup for the first time. Plus you have Pete DeBoer who has an 86-69 record in the playoffs, has been to multiple Cup Finals, and still hasn't won. If Miro Heiskanen played in a bigger/more northern market I think he'd be in the conversation with Makar, Hughes, and Fox for the best young defenseman in the game.

The_Admiral Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Gotta root for the Oilers. McDavid finally winning the Cup nine years in would confer some always-welcome legitimacy on the proceedings here.

ruttep Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 - Death - Taxes - The Stars losing Game 1 of a playoff series in overtime (this is the fifth time this has happened in the last two years) How do you not score on a four minute powerplay in overtime?

habsfan1 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 1-0 Rangers. They'll be up 3-1 if they win tonight. If the Oilers don't make the comeback, a NYR/Dallas Cup Final would be beautiful, in terms of uniforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Idk where PWHL stuff belongs, so I'm posting this here: MINNESOTA HAS WON THE INNAUGURAL PWHL CHAMPIONSHIP. THE WALTER CUP'S FIRST STOP IS THE STATE OF HOCKEY HYPE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Sorry again if this isn't allowed since it's the NHL thread, but making a new thread for the PWHL didn't make sense just for a season recap. PWHL season recap part 1: M:censored:s vs Minnewegians Minnesota (8-4-3-9): went into the season with the most talent. With the first ever pick in league history, they selected the 2022 US international team points leader (and my future wife ) Taylor Heise. Add in Kendall Coyne and Michaela Cava and you have a solid team. This showed when they started the season strong, but eventually the coaching fell through and Minnesota almost missed the playoffs. After reverse sweeping Toronto in the first round, Minnesota took home the Walter Cup after a close 5 games with Boston. Taylor Heise took home playoff MVP. Boston (8-4-3-9): after an abyssmal start, Boston roared into the playoffs and all the way to the finals. US hockey legend (and lesbian icon) Hillary Knight and Alina Müller provided a solid offense, while goalie Aerin Frankel had a good habit of completely shutting out talented opposing offenses (like in game 4 of the finals). After dispatching Montréal, they lost a hard fought series against Minnesota. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 I still can’t believe the disallowed goal after everyone on Minnesota’s team got to celebrate like they won the whole thing… Thank goodness the loss didn’t eliminate them, because that felt like the most Minnesota sports thing ever. Happy that they brought home the title! Definitely neat to see women’s hockey succeed, and for me especially Minnesota women’s hockey. While watching the final as well, apparently the names and logos will be unveiled come August, so fingers crossed that they’re better than the leaked names.

habsfan1 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I don't blame the Panthers for not being overly excited to be in the Cup Finals. They have a tough battle ahead, if they want to avoid losing for 2 straight years. Lol Barkov wants nothing to do with the Prince of Wales Trophy. Was funny to see players avoid it, during the obligatory team photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 That sound you hear are SCF ratings plummeting into the Earth's core.

Sunrise Florida is the worst hockey city in America (now that the Arizona hockey experiment is finally over) Panthers 'fans' didn't exist until last year. When FLA goes back into the basement, they'll be putting on Penguins jerseys. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unocal Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 What is there to like about Florida? Paul Maurice, the mediocre retread coach? Tkachuk, the snake who weaseled his way out of Calgary like a coward? Tarasenko the mercenary trying to pull a Hossa? The worst uniforms in hockey? Bobrovsky selling his soul to apparently no longer became the worst playoff goalie in recent history? The Florida Panthers represent everything WRONG about hockey. Sunrise does not deserve a team, let alone a Stanley Cup. A Stanley Cup parade in Sunrise would literally be all bandwagoners and phonies who think hockey was invented in 2023. Hockey has jumped the shark recently with this sunbelt crap. Gary Bettman has poisoned a sport and turned it into a warm weather casual fan joke. Toronto fans have been waited for decades just to have a shot at a Cup. Panthers 'fans' have gotten two in a row even though they don't know the meaning of long-suffering. Florida is a team only a bandwagoner could love. They are everything that Gary Bettman loves and real fans hare. 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
