That season felt absolutely magical, the boston series was my absolute favorite seeing all those dipshit fans talking shit on us have to eat shit sandwiches 3 games in a row until Swaggy drove the dagger in.Ya know what’s crazy. I felt like 22-23 run was more fun than 23-24.
Being underdogs. That was our origin story. We became villains full of signature moments.
While obviously winning the cup was the best euphoric result, it felt more business like. It had some signature moments, just less of it. We were already Villains. We just managed to claim the Iron Throne
Long May We Reign
Then the leafs series, felt bad for the canes, but nearly cried getting to the finals, then well yeah, thought our run was over after that. Thought the redemption thing would flame out and the team would regress but damn they came out with a vengeance.
Having such a good regular season, having every team hate us during it. Getting Vladdy for peanuts @ShootIt and i got giddy when we saw that, then smoking the lightning finally, beating boston again, and the rangers on the way to our first win vs the "two best players in hockey" oilers was even better. Felt like we were toying around the first two rounds we were THAT good.
