2018-19 Stanley Cup Playoffs part III: Final 4

[Master Yoda]

f bombs all around lol

Like all the little stories CBC tells as each player hands the Cup off to another teammate.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Nights like tonight really reinforces how great it was that the Kings won at home

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Last of the ‘67 teams win the Cup. Now, the Leafs have a larger gap to the next longest SC drought - Canucks and Sabres closest to TML @ 48 seasons vs Toronto’s 51.

Wait, does Brayden Schenn winning a Cup swing the Mike Richards trade in the Flyers favor now? Buyout or not, I'd do that trade 100 outa 100 times.

And holy crap, the best part of this celebration are the players dropping F Bombs. Doc and company sound like they need to take a nap.

Stanley Cup celebrations in the visitor building leave a lot to be desired. Good that the Kings won both at home.

Ok season is over. I’m going to bed.

I believe how that works is the Flyers would have needed to win the cup, but what do I know

Kings wouldn’t win any cups without Richards.

Happy for Jay Bow and Tarasenko.

Pietrangelo made a fine captain.

 

[Sleeping Dog]

Bozak leaves Leafs after 9 years and wins the Cup in his first year in SL. That’s gotta sting!

 

[yankeeking]

How great to see DT lift the cup

 

[KingsFan7824]

The Blues TV broadcast team will be even more unbearable now. Thank you! Thank you! Uggg. Pang, might be more annoying than Fox, even without this. If I hear 9 of hearts one more damn time. No Blues games next year.

HNIC with a St. Louis Blues ‘Gloria’ montage.

 

[crassbonanza]

Kings wouldn’t win any cups without Richards.

That game 1 by Richards against the Canucks set the tempo for the next 3 years for the Kings.

 

[King'sPawn]

So does Berube stay as coach for the Blues next season?

 

[SFKingshomer]

I still hate Geoff Courtnall...

 

[ru4reals]

So first Cup win in franchise I get the Cup and I skate a little circle and hand to next player. I'd take that junk all over the ice.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Blues remind me a lot of the 2012 Kings. Hard and heavy hockey still works if you out work the other team.

 

[fsanford]

I still hate Geoff Courtnall...

Wish they had concussion protocol back then, Kings might have still salvaged that game if it existed. Putting a concussed goalie back on the ice is never a good idea.

 

[kingsfan28]

Did anyone from NBC want the Blues to win? even doc sounded a bit saddened calling that final 10 seconds. There will be no city of champions in Boston tonight. Blues earned this cup.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

ROR has always been very underrated. Was praying the Kings got him the year they traded for Lucic.

Stanley Cup Winning 1Cs over the last 10 years:

O'Reilly, Backstrom, Crosby, Toews, Kopitar, Bergeron. And if you go back one more year, Zetterberg. Other than Crosby who is imo the cream of the crop, it looks to me like a whole lot of dudes who usually need more credit given how much 'two way hockey players' are crapped on around here.

 

[KingsFan7824]

I still hate Geoff Courtnall...

Yeah, that was a stupid Blues team. Jim Campbell. Scott Pellerin. Blair Atcheynum. Terry Yake. Darren Turcotte still hanging around for some reason. Pascal Rheaume. His sister was a better NHL player. Future King Chris McAlpine. Todd Gill's stupid face. Fuhr. How were those guys role players on the 4th best team in the league that year? Just makes no sense. Didn't one of their guys come from that roller hockey league that was on ESPN back in the day? What the hell?

 

[Jericho111091]

Can we just appreciate the fact that Jordan Nolan has 3 Stanley Cups while Alex Ovechkin has 1. The numbers speak for themselves.

Not sure if he played enough games to get his name on the cup for a 3rd time.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Pretty amazing story. Blues were in dead f***ing last. That’s crazy.

Weird couple of champs these last two years. Perennial underachievers stick around long enough to finally win.
