Around the League - 23/24 Edition

[TMLegend]

I'll be shocked if McDavid doesn't get the conn smythe.

The good: Edmonton fans don’t have the honour of bringing the Cup home and they also don’t complete the 0-3 comeback which would’ve given them forever bragging rights.

The bad: Florida Dirtbags win a Cup and some of the biggest assholes in hockey are happy.

Hey it's easier to deal with a few assholes than a whole bunch.

 

[Burnie97]

There is only ONE team that is going to bring the cup back to Canada. And team is TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

f***ing eh

 

[PromisedLand]

Next year

NEXT YEAR!!!

 

[BertCorbeau]

Are they really boo'ing McDavid after his unreal postseason?

 

[stickty111]

Good result. Edmonton is the one Canadian franchise that doesn't deserve a cup. Congrats to Florida.

 

[Lilou]

Edm will run it back next year and get to the final. I guarantee it.

 

[Menzinger]

Phew. I'm no panthers fan nor Edmonton. Good effort by the oilers to make it a series, but losing after that so painfully is great.

It probably was the best outcome all things considered. Certainly the funniest.

I hope McDavid gets a cup one day, maybe on a different team thought

 

[Burnie97]

No surprises there.

He couldn't care less.

He didn't get the cup.

He didn't get the cup.

Edit: site is messed. Hit that twice.

Mcdavid still should of came out though. I think guys in the losing side usually do. Looks petty.

 

[TheShape]

Ouch. Bad look for McDavid

 

[Buds17]

The correct choice for the Conn Smythe there.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Just weird to give it to a losing player. Just awkward even if he was Wayne Gretzky himself.

 

[ruaware41]

they don’t give a shit. 40% of the posters on their board were saying they will stop watching hockey completely if florida loses and a few were saying they will stop watching even if they win can’t make this shit up.

Won’t ever convince me that Southern market fans give half as much as a shit as any Canadian city. Florida wins the Cup at home and the crowd is muted as all hell. f***s sake if that was any Canadian team winning the Cup at home in Game 7 people would be non-stop cheering, hundreds would be crying, the part wouldn’t stop. The majority of noise wouldn’t be from the bloody sound system playing music.

People gave Bob alot of flack for games 4-6 but he was a rock tonight. Skinner let in an iffy goal and that was the difference.

 

[PromisedLand]

btw... Perry 5 consecutive SCFs; and 5 consecutive times on the losing side

thats gotta be tough....

Especially after tonight's loss. Game 7 .. 1 goal game

 

[BertCorbeau]

This should cement Bob into the HHOF I'd figure

 

[notbias]

They have a tough cap situation... I don't see it.

Also, despite playing some decent hockey, Skinner still sucks.

I don’t think Skinner or Samsonov will be in the league in a few years. Canada literally has no goalies right now. Woller might be Canada’s best right now when he’s not injured.

 

[1specter]

Not gonna lie I am really happy for Paul Maurice. Nice to see him finally get his after 30 years in the league and coming so close, I thought he was done after Winnipeg

 

[BertCorbeau]

Good for OEL after all those years in Arizona

He's a dirtbag... but even then... yeah that'd be tough.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Man i love the oilers. Down 3-0, sucked all the hopes of your fans and then win 3 in a row to give that hope back. then get stabbed in the heart after losing game 7. LOL.

Couldnt happen to a better fanbase. Hey oilers fans, kiss my ass.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving player

He got his cup early in his career, but still funny that he keeps losing in the final lmao

 

[Rare Jewel]

Ouch. Bad look for McDavid

Not at all.

Bringing an individual trophy back to a dressing room that just lost the final is a no-go IMO.
