Nope, hate him and the state of Texas too lol. I was very begrudgingly kinda rooting for NY in the conference finals.
New York was the only option, IMO. I was really disappointed to see them out, partially because my closest friend here on HF is a Rangers mod.

Looking at you, @Leonardo87. Your Rangers losing gave us no good options to root for. Thanks a lot.:sarcasm:

@Leonardo87 you've clearly failed. Oddbob here has the correct idea.

What don't we like about the Strangers? They have some annoying/dirty players but not nearly at the Florida/Boston level. I've just always considered their players to be medium annoying. It's really their owner that I want to not have another financial asset/playoff revenue.

Yeah they are less annoying, which is why I was pulling for them, but I still don’t like them :laugh:

Ken Holland getting another Cup to his name would create some interesting discussions here. So that's something.

Rooting for Perry to do his rat things to Tkachuk and then they take each other out. Kane fresh out of stacks of dollar bills leaves as well.
If memory serves, this is his fourth consecutive final? Has anyone ever appeared in four consecutive Stanley cup finals with different teams before?

Hopefully this is the start of what becomes a very active draft day for trades.

This may also be indicative of the strength of the draft. 2024 could very well be another 2012 or 2018 draft. Which team would be willing to move a goalie? NYI? Boston? And that would be a vast overpay in an average draft year for one of their goalies.

I'm hoping Florida wins because I believe it increases the chances of McDavid going to UFA when his deal is up. I think to some degree because he was drafted by Edmonton it hurt the league from a popularity standpoint. But given that Tkachuk and Perry will be in the same building I won't be against cheering for a meteor.

What I've studied those draft classes, 2024 is the weakest one between 2023 and 2025.

2023 could be one of the strongest lately.

So I would not mind at all, if Yzerman pulls a DeBrincat-styled of hockey trade and will send that #15 overall away.

This 2024 #15 overall could be valued as #30 overall level of player from 2023 class, or worse.

If those are the options, I kinda like Outlaws. Blizzard, Mammoth, and Yeti all feel very "AHL mascot"-ish.

As the league over expands it's kinda fitting that the names feel a bit bush league.
