Around the NHL: Part XI – He's the #1 Cop on the Force!

[Maximus]

Nothing will top the Tampa sweep these playoffs though. That was just a historic sweep, choke, upset, whatever you want to call it.

I hear ya but this is the Piles man. I know for those of y'all who are in my age bracket...50+, who vividly remembers when the Piles would year after year break our hearts and beat our asses despite us having some really good teams, anytime bad things happen to that franchise, it's just that much more special.

So tho the Lightning getting swept was sweet as holy hell, the Piles especially because their bandwagon fans got all cocky and shit talking trash like "the road to the Cup is wide open now for us" after the Caps and Lightning got beat in the first round, is even better. I'm glad they are some what relevant again because to be honest, they have been so shitty over the past few decades, I forgot what it was like to hate them. Well I remember now and it's a great feeling that they will be on the golf courses in the next few days....

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: This offseason ****ing rules

For a Ranger fan having a possible 18/19 and 28ish is amazing but wait add in Kakko!!!

 

[bl02]

He signed for 4/12.

Wow paying a lot and term for grit and experience

 

[Gresch04]

Somehow the Rangers are doing amazing in these playoffs.

Almost everything is going our way.

So the only time we’re lucky in the playoffs is when we don’t make it? Fact.

Spezza!

The spezza man

Oh yeah baby. It keeps getting better.

Blues just thought the play died

Islanders overachieving roster with a bunch of mid age bottom 6 players has nowhere to go from here and without a premium pick. Barzal landed back down to Earth without Tavares. Lou and Trotz keeping the ship sailing but that can only last so long.

Best post! Let’s hope it’s just the beginning

****in’ misogyny in this thread. AJ is WAY better than either Milbury OR Pierre.

An open buzzing mic is way better than Milbury or Pierre. Low bar.

The hockey gods sure are doing their best to make up for decades of f***ing us in the ass this postseason.

Can you imagine if they didn’t get that pick to draft barzal?!

Spezza has been incredible since @Thirty One ran his bitch mouth.

I don't mind that to be honest. He's enough to keep the Islanders floating in contention and no man's land.

The Hockey gods of Buggery and Sodomy are finally getting their comeuppance!

 

[Ghost of jas]

Apparently the Islanders couldn’t locate the easy path they were given to the Eastern Conference Finals.

 

[will1066]

For orange sodas I've switched from Fanta to Sundkvist.

 

[TominNC]

Isles losing is better than anything non-Rangers

Maroon putting his head down like a bull trying to muck things up
