Happy for them.

Pulling for the Jets to go to the Finals.

I'd love a Winnipeg vs Toronto/Montreal/Ottawa final. Won't happen, but damn would that be neat.

Just don't want the Cup being won this year down south....for obvious reasons.

I'll be happy if any Canadian team comes out on top honestly.

Montreal is my 2nd team. Fans in Winnipeg deserve some love. Ottawa fans too. If any of these teams eliminate the Leafs or the Oilers, I'll be cheering for them all the way.

 

[racerjoe]

I do really like Montreal... but boooo would have been a way better story for CBJ to get in.

I don't by into this Canada needs more teams in the playoffs either... it the same as the raptors being Canada's team... just marketing crap.

Raptors are years away from contending, they blew their wad in 2019 which got them the chip.

Lol what's the excuse playing hellebuyck in the last game again?

 

[Vancouver_2010]

With the Montreal Canadiens making the playoffs, who are they going to play in the second round?

I really hope he's ready for a long playoff run.
Hellebuyck runs out of f***ing gas come playoff time.

Same. Don't quite believe in Helley though, guy got picked apart last two playoffs. Has to mix up his playstyle a bit.

Same. Don't quite believe in Helley though, guy got picked apart last two playoffs. Has to mix up his playstyle a bit.

The problem with Helle is that he plays way too much and wears down the season.
He becomes his worst enemy come playoff time.

The compulsion that Canadians have to cheer for the Habs at every opportunity is so “basic”. It’s like buying into the Cowboys being “America’s Team”. They have a great game atmosphere, sure, but they are very much the NY Yankees of the NHL and it is absolutely not anyone’s patriotic duty to like them.

If they are going to milk success from a pre-draft era with five opponents for glory and adoration, then they can move over a few more decades and let teams like Columbus have a turn.

They cheered for us in 2011 and I haven’t forgotten that.

Just goes to show, getting the Blackhawks stink off someone is tougher than you think.

What a stupid thing for a married dude to do in front of teammates.

I don't know if the posts got wiped in the purge, but a few of us discussed the reports that the Rangers had very strict team media rules after someone was let go last year, and that there were hard walls between the players and team staff, and we speculated a bit about why that would be. This would seem to be it. Ugly stuff.

Guy tried to rape someone NY just settled it?

Sure looks that way. Because, you know, everyone clearly learned the right lessons from what happened in Chicago.

Awful, lousy stuff.

Additionally, women staffers "disappear" from the team quite frequently. There's a culture of this in MSG. It's not just the Rangers but from ownership down.

Yeah need more info for sure.

Honestly, with all of this noise, Rags probably best to give up this year's pick, even if it's as high as 10. NYR holds tie-breaker vs both NYI and Det, so if they are tied with them, Rags get the later pick, which can be as late as 12.

That Pionk deal is pretty good value relative to the Chychrun contract. Nice work from Winnipeg.
