Around the League Thread Part II: Final Stretch

[kingsfan28]

I felt like I had front row views for Disneyland last night. Illegal Fireworks are out of control in my neighborhood.

Yeah, it was pretty brutal where I am . I swear they made extra loud and more explody ones this year!

 

[ru4reals]

Please just end this already Tampa!!!

It would be great if that TB mayor had to eat her words. I know every mayor or whoever says dumb stuff when it comes to sports, but I can't stand anything about the Lightning. No love for the Canadiens or anything, but just getting to a Game 7 and making them sweat would be cool.

The only problem is this TB team has already won the Cup, so even if they lose this one, the sting wouldn't be the same.

Is the league ever going to address that their current cap system is obviously and completely busted?

All you need to do is make a team cap compliant throughout the playoffs.

 

[Bandit]

Man I really wish there was a way for both of these teams to lose.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Pretty incredible no one has punched Chiarot in the face yet, he needs a couple.

 

[Reclamation Project]

f*** off Montreal, amazing how delusional their fans are. The refs let Montreal get away with a ton.

 

[kingsboy11]

Jeez now the refs want to call penalties. How many penalties were called within the first 10 minutes? Like 5 or 6?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Already looking like TB will lose. You gotta bury a goal on one of those.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Montreal doing what they do best - hanging around like a dingleberry.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Let’s get on with the off-season. This has been a boring finals, and boring playoffs.

 

[kovacro]

June is bad enough but hockey in July is fuggin gross. Finish it. Jeebus

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Jesus Christ this is just brutal to watch.

At least the Rangers (especially Lundqvist) made us sweat a little back in 2014.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Gentleman's sweep

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I’m glad to see the Cup be awarded in front of a packed house.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Montreal never really had a chance in the series, but hey, it was worth it to see this:

I'm just excited that the rest of the offseason can get underway now. It's already July 7th, we should have had the draft and the free agent frenzy by now. What a wild year and a half we've had.

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Tough for them to go out like that but the Habs at least gave us all the laughter of the 3-1 comeback vs the Leafs

 

[Lt Dan]

Gary's Parkinson's is getting worse

For as dominant as Vasilevskiy has been this postseason — a .935 SV% and 1.99 GAA — Quick still holds the record for greatest postseason goaltending performance of all time in 2012. Quick had a .946 SV% and a 1.41 GAA!

 

[SettlementRichie10]

f*** the Lightning.

But at least we don’t have to suffer an entire year of Habs fans.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Here's to crowds, proper divisions, and games outside of division all coming back next year

Im pretty sure the only runs that come close are Thomas’s run in 2011 and Roy’s run in 2001.
