the admiral Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Squatting on the Stanley Cup megathread because it's perennially a contender for thread of the year. Thread title in honor of the Blues unraveling like a cheap sweater, the grand farce that Toews and Kane are coming back 100%, and the general malaise and self-loathing that besets us all during this. And a badass riff. And Igor. Playoff bracket as of now, subject to change: FACKIN' MAWSHANN! v. Natural Rivals of the Florida Panthers Le seul espoir pour tout le Canada, même les merdes anglophones v. Maple Wings Sidney Crosby and the "I Didn't Do It" Dancers v. THE BEEJ Scott Arniel and the Columbus Blue Jackets v. Look, We Don't Know What We're Doing Here, Either The Anaheim Ducks v. Not the St. Patrick's Day Blackhawks The NHL's Best Fans v. Dynasty in the Making So Like We Still Have Sakic and Roy Right Okay Cool I Remember Them v. I Come from the Land of the Ice and Snow and the Stifling Culture of Nordic/Germanic Passive-Aggressive Judgment Arch Rivals v. A Passing Fad for Bros Named Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollux Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 You have the Jackets there twice, although I'm fine with you forgetting the Big Apple Country Club. Arniel is in NY... And you should write "Le seul espoir" for the Habs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charger77 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I don't have a team to cheer for in the playoffs, so I guess I will sublease my fandom for the next few months...Here are the teams I'd like to see win it all.Columbus - It would be awesome!Colorado - Worst to first under Patrick RoyIt would be neat if any of the following won.Pit, Chi, SJ or ANA.And a special place in my heart to who ever takes out Detroit.

Sport Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It blows my mind that the Rangers are as good as they are with so many wasteland-era Blue Jackets on their roster plus the worst head coach in the last five years running their power play.Anywhooo Blue Jackets lost Nathan Horton for the playoffs. He had abdominal surgery today, which really blows because he's a playoff monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbadefense1990 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It would be neat if any of the following won.Pit, Chi, SJ or ANA.And a special place in my heart to who ever takes out Detroit.You have a special place for the team that beats the Red Wings, but consider it neat if Pittsburgh won. Interesting.Anyway, I have an obvious fixation as to my champion. But if not them, here are my top three preferred teams to win it all:1. Blue Jackets2. Sharks3. AvalancheAnd here are the teams that would make me harpoon myself in the skull if they won the Cup:3. Blackhawks (not really a hated team, but them winning it again? It's a fatigue thing.)2. Penguins1. Red WingsAnd the teams which would make me slam my head against a stucco wall for every day they're in the playoffs:1. Phoenix2. Glendale3. Coyotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if not the Sharks, I don't want Anaheim, LA, Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas, Boston, Pittsburgh, and Detroit. Basically, I don't want any rivals and/or recent champs to win.

Kramerica Industries Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Playoff time. and the Rangers are there but the Lightning are not?RANGERS BANDWAGONING----Wait a minute, that's not the case this year. Woo-hoo!---In any case, for a team called the Maple Wings, do the Lightning inherit Toronto's choking mentality or Detroit's winning mentality? Dammit I'm so confused!

Still MIGHTY Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I'm kind of disappointed with your effort on the Ducks, admiral. I mean hell, "Getzlaf's Bald Spot", "How long until Teemu kicks the bucket?", "Bruce Boudreau avoids the early flameout", "Real Hockey Players of Orange County", etc. Something! Otherwise, exemplary, as always.---My playoff rooting interest power rankings:1. Mighty Anaheim Ducks (duh, obvi. leggooooo.)2. Columbus Beej Jackets3. Whoever isn't San Jose/Los Angeles/Pittsburgh/Detroit4. Le Club de hockey Canadien5. St. Louis Blues6. Minnesota Wild7. Colorado Avalanche8. Tampa Bay Lightning9. Chicago Blackhawks10.

IceCap Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 When push comes to shove anyone but San Jose ("NHL's Best Fans"? Seriously?), Boston (UGGGGG), or Detroit (die) would be fine.It would be neat if any of the following won.Pit, Chi, SJ or ANA.And a special place in my heart to who ever takes out Detroit.You have a special place for the team that beats the Red Wings, but consider it neat if Pittsburgh won. Interesting.Leafs fans really don't like the Red Wings and are generally neutral when it comes to the Penguins.And here are the teams that would make me harpoon myself in the skull if they won the Cup:3. Blackhawks (not really a hated team, but them winning it again? It's a fatigue thing.)2. Penguins1. Red WingsAnd the teams which would make me slam my head against a stucco wall for every day they're in the playoffs:1. Phoenix2. Glendale3. CoyotesStop trying so hard.

CS85 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 To my fellow Blackhawks fans whom I enraged last year and showered with gloom and death, I have a new catchphrase this post-season:Also I'm glad the 'Yotes were screwed/Blues are melting down. Please let this persist indefinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
