The blowback against Utah is a lot less than what Canes and Avs experienced. This is more on the Atlanta scale of harshness, which is to say it’ll probably be forgotten soon.
Yeah I wasn’t going competition mode with it, I agree. To be honest I was in Colorado soon after and I can say no one noticed any criticism or cared if there was genuine angst. Canes fans got it a lot worse imo. It helped to win the cup the first year of course.

Have to say, coming from a country where every second sports team is a "Place X Ball Club," Utah Hockey Club has a nice European sound to it.
Utahin Kiekkoseura would fit right in.

God I hope our media starts translating it.

I saw the trailer for the new Amazon show where they followed the players I guess through the playoffs… the only feature of any cane was when trouba almost took necas’s head off. I get that the canes aren’t the draw that the rangers for instance are but man if they didn’t have cameras on Jarvis and/or Brind’Amour as much as possible they were missing out. Those are two entertaining dudes

can’t escape it

At first pass, I didn't get it:

1) We spend to the cap, or close to it every year.
2) We've had some of the best results in the NHL for the last 6 years. Yeah, we haven't won it all, but the results have been anything but "cheap"

but then I realized that other than not winning a cup, there's not much negative stuff to say.

They'll play this game against each other, but I can almost guarantee our games against both teams will end up similar to our first against Tampa.
