Around the NHL 10 - 2022/23

[GNP]

I know there's a lot of hate for Toronto and Edmonton on this board, but I'm happy to see 2 Canadian teams advance to the 2nd round, and hope that one of them wins.

I'm a Jets fan first, and if their not in the mix, I'll support any Canadian team that is in contention. Nice to have 2. Both really good teams.

It's been a very long time since a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup, and it's about time. Either one of them winning is OK by me.

Both leafs and oilers advancing sucks, meanwhile we fizzled out with a whimper

Hope Vegas takes Edmonton out.

Would be nice for Toronto to get bounced in the second round too. If people are going to root for them that’s their prerogative. For me, I hope they both get swept

 

[blueandgoldguy]

I'm happy Edmonton won and are advancing to the second round. My prediction at the beginning of the season was that they would meet Carolina in the finals and win.

I never want to see a generational player go too long without winning at least one championship. 8 years is long enough.

I can't predict the future, but don't come crying to me if edmonton loses.

Leaves

 

[Been around]

I'm rooting for the leafs..their my 2nd team.
After jets 1.0 left I quit watching hockey for a couple years...slowly got back into it, spending time with my dad on Saturday nights instead of barhopping. I've got lots of memories now that I can cherish forever

Positive post, sir. All this logic in the absence of vitriol! I find myself appreciating it, despite myself. This last line is the truth and bears mentioning.

I am stubborn and can't wholeheartedly cheer for either. But, this doesn't preclude a morbid fascination.

The Feck Vegas series will be interesting and I think most of Tranna is pulling for Chucky and company.

My hatred for Vegas exceeds my hatred for the Oilers. Wouldn’t hurt to see McDavid and a Canadian Team that isn’t the Leafs win a Cup at some point.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I hope Edmonton has success, McDavid should absolutely win a cup in his career. The Leafs though, I hope they don’t win another game this year.

 

[WolfHouse]

Toss up between my dislike of Kane vs Vegas... go Avs

Conversely, go Canes. At least they work hard.

 

[Thechozen1]

Im not necessarily rooting for the Oilers, because an image of Evander Kane raising the cup above his head makes me puke...

But i am rooting for McDavid winning a Cup in a Market that shares similar problems that Winnipeg suffers from.

I would like to see a Canadian team win it all as it has never happened in my life time. Then again, the thought of the Maple Leafs hoisting the Cup could result in my death.

So of all the remaining teams, i think ill probably jump on the Edmonton bandwagon.

I apologize to Jets 1.0 fans as I realize this is sacrilege, but i wasn't around for that period.

I agree with everything you said except wanting to see a Canadian team win it, especially if it’s any of Toronto, Edmonton or Montreal. If it’s not the Jets it holds no sentiment for me.

Despite the whole Evander Kane, hoisting the Cup, I’d begrudgingly cheer for them over Leaf nation.

Anyone but Vegas, Edmonton, or Toronto.

This is how I feel!!!

How about EVER!!! Any leafs win is one too many.

 

[SUX2BU]

I kind of leaning towards Boston or the jerks

Like to see Bergeron win one more as this is likely his last year

Likely the same with Stastny and the sasquatch

It's amazing to see what Rod gets out of that group year after year. They just go hard all the time......it's so weird to watch that in contrast to our "team".

 

[bustamente]

Watch the 4 teams playing tonight a see the differences in the way they play versus the way the Jets play. Goaltending aside they do everything at a faster pace and with much more intensity.

 

[BigZ65]

Anyone else on Shaw just have their TV connection completely eat shit as the intro to the Game 7 was on?

Outage map says all of MB.

 

[jetsforever]

Wow Vezina Ullmark benched in Game 7?!

 

[bustamente]

Wow Vezina Ullmark benched in Game 7?!

He's had a terrible series and has let in some stinkers maybe Swayman can stop the puck tonight, hasn't started in 17 days so will see

 

[DRW204]

much like morrissey having a career year w/ a new coach... montour is doing the same in FLA. he also opens up the scoring against BOS

 

[Buffdog]

2-0 Panthers. I'd love to see PoMo knock off the Bruins

Maybe some posters here would realize he's not as shitty of a coach as they think he is

 

[MarkWheeler]

I’m jumping on the Panthers bandwagon now, if they pull this off tonight, that’ll be an upset for the ages. As much as I hate Tkachuk, he’s exactly the kind of player we could use.
I’m happy to see Paul Maurice do well, and nothing would make me happier than to see then upset Boston, then knock off the Leafs.

He's not a shitty coach, just stayed a couple of years past his expiry date here.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

I think we should all be cheering for Vegas to win it. Then we can believe that the Cup could have been ours, if only we hadn't been goalied by Brossoit.

Panthers are fighting the refs as well… just brutal. Bertizzi sold that last one. And another one! Wow

Yup, he’s an average coach that was just here too long IMO
