Around the League Thread | The one where the NHL once again is the worst.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Edmonton lose & seeing Luongo win the Cup simultaneously.

Evan Rodrigues. What a utility player. Looks much smaller than Amber/Friedman too, impressive run

fugg the coilers.

Watching Lu lift the Cup honestly warmed my heart and I think it's the closest thing to feeling satisfied, aside from watching the Canucks actually win it.

I know Edmonton are going to be the odds-on favorites next year, and frankly they’re probably going to do it… but for now I am soooo relieved!

Forsling saved the game when he boxed McDavid out from that loose puck in front of an empty net. Love that man!

Nah I think that windows starting to close. It’s the beginning of the end for them imo. Not going to get a softer road to the cup than they had

That Luongo cup lift and scream must’ve been so cathartic

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

So glad Florida pulled this out.

Can’t wait to see Luongo hoist the Cup, as he should have 13 years ago.

LUUUUUUUUUUUU

Ya that was their chance.

Luuuuuu

see ya Oilers, maybe a couple more 1st overalls will get your franchise over the hump

Luongo getting interviewed is a chef kiss.
Guy is living the life right now.

Watching Luongo like this is making me incredibly happy and bringing back great memories of 2011 :’)

 

[EpochLink]

Thanks Luongo for the Vancouver love!!!

This was the best outcome out of the game. Shut down the Coilers top line and sent McDavid along with toxic loser annoying Coiler fanbase crying.

Coilers overachieved and were lucky to get this far but McDavid deserved that conn smythe. Divesaitl on the other end had an disappearing act of the ages.

Happy for Luongo, Bob and the Panthers. Have a bit of soft spot for the Panthers as I had a Panthers tshirt as a kid gifted to me by my parents in the mid 90s. What a great day!

I thought JS Giguere won it also in a losing fashion. Well after Reggie Leach.

And Ron Hextall no?

McDavid did not come out, probably in the locker room with his team.

I don't mind it TBH. He's the captain after all.

I was actually happy they didn't make him come out. Jean Giguere looks so utterly miserable when he had to accept it. No player should be put in that position immediately after losing.

 

[supercanuck]

Hopefully, Draisatl will want to test free agency next summer

 

[drax0s]

Today was a good day.

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

The Oilers wouldn't have even made it out of Rnd 2 if Demko was healthy. Wouldn't assume they will be back in the Finals next year.

They still don't have a bonafide goalie, or a deep enough defence.

So happy to that Perry doesn’t get the cup again. Typical Oilers to sign a guy after he gets terminated for cause because of an incident.

Oilers now have to deal with the loss, the fatigue and be back on the ice sooner than they want. And that will likely be with questions about a Draisatl extension hanging over the organization. This was likely their best chance…perhaps the only one.
