OT: Around the NHL: Go Cats Go

[Tom Hanks]

Eh f*** it, hardly anyone remembers who won the Stanley Cup any given year past year ten, let alone the damn conn smythe

Panthers f***ed up big time. Dropping down in the draft plus they lose $500k of next seasons salary cap to Okposo’s bonus. That could hurt their chances of winning the cup next year and that’s what it’s all about.

Have the post Stanley Cup questions on the ice ever been insightful?

"How does it feel?"

"It sucks, that trophy is too damn heavy."

 

[Turin]

Going to be interesting to see where Edmonton goes from here. Does Draisaitl stay? This is like if the Pens lost in 2016 and never had 09.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Well, they got the CS winner right for a change.

Grats to Bob and Barkov. Well deserved.

 

[Pancakes]

When Giguere won it in 2003 he accepted it on the ice and pretty sure he got a strong ovation from the NJ crowd because that’s how dominant he was.

This doesn’t feel the same. He deserved it since Bob became human in games 4-6 and that was his only real competition and the points speak for themselves but still Giggy felt a lot more like a no brainer somehow.

Anaheim were massive underdogs too. No shame in them losing to New Jersey.

That’s why this is the worst ran league of any importance in all sports. To give the Conn Smythe to a guy from the losing team, it’s the biggest friggin joke ever, glad for Paul Maurice

No, to give it to a goalie with average stats when a player breaks 40 points first time this millenium would have been a joke.

It’s playoff MVP, not finals MVP.

The right decision was made…despite McDavid getting shut down the last two games, and Draisaitl turning into a GHOST for the last two playoff series.

Did ERod finally see a dentist?

 

[Malkinstheman]

Hot take: McDavid never gets back to the finals. Took a herculean effort from him and Drai to get here. Dont think Edmonton will build around him properly

 

[Turin]

If Erod grew out his hair he would look like Nacho Libre's sidekick

I think they win next two.

Canada invented the game but the state of Florida apparently perfected it.

Hot take: Oilers will make the finals next season with a different goalie.

They won't make it out of round 1 if that goalie is Jarry

This is the same take as mine; so, we share it.

 

[66-30-33]

If they can make it with Skinner they can make it with Jarry.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Haha...

 

[PensPlz]

I don't know much. But I know 2 things in life to be true right now

1) Mike Tomlin will never win another playoff game

2) Tristan Jarry will never win a playoff series as a starter

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Freezing Cold Take...

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Oh I know. And revenge was sweet. I guess 08 didn't bother me that much because the core was still young so I figured they'd find a way eventually. And that Wings team was a juggernaut so it wasn't like the Pens choked.

Oilers though...their big guys are closer to 30 than 20. Time is running out on their primes. Hard to win those in your 30s.

Oh well, f*** them. Maybe once they've wasted the rest of their careers, they'll tank for another decade to get another shot.

The scary thing is blogger idiots like him somehow get votes for actual NHL awards.

Might as well just let this hellhole site decide.

Noel Accari Panthers jersey sighting!

[The Great Mighty Poo]

McDavid probably threw off his gear, took a shower got dressed and went back to his hotel room to get room service when he ducked accepting the Smythe, probably yelled at the food runner this wasnt what he ordered and didnt tip him either.

The dumbest bloke on our board is more knowledgeable than a sphincter leakage like Rossi and Yohe.

 

[Turin]

I don't wanna say McDavid won't go back, but for Edmonton that's your biggest anxiety now. The path was there for them this year. A lot depends on what happens with Draisaitl.
