6 more years with 9.25M and NMC (can be traded to 10 teams)

First game of this series reminded me of first game against Dallas. Edmonton’s speed just overwhelmed Florida.
Like the WCF, Florida will adjust but they are up one.

Well, second time in a series with EDM I thought I was pulling for them, but as I started watching the game I found myself rooting for FLA. I guess I just can't do it.

Definitely not. Both are very good players. Just not the generational franchise altering players that fans hope they are getting with a 1st overall pick. (Crosby, Ovechkin, McDavid).

Ted Leonsis trying to fool us all into thinking Caps know how to manage the cap efficiently. Or to keep us from seeing the blatant mistakes they're about to commit.
f*** the Caps, though.

I'm in the same boat, i'm trying to tell myself i want to see Perry and Rico and Carrick get a cup but the game starts and i'm just completely unable to cheer for them. I loved Bob shutting them down last night.

My hatred for the Oilers stems from a continuous run of poor management which should mean basement dwelling but instead resulted in 4 first overall picks with the last one culminating into a generational talent. Then we play them in the playoffs and they incessantly whine about the Kesler holding the pad goal as if that was the deciding factor in the series.
I also live amongst the most obnoxious Oiler fans around and can’t stand to see them happy. So yes, they are 32nd on my list.
It did mean basement dwelling. It meant basement dwelling for a long, long time.
The Ducks were victims of poor management for a while. Do we deserve basement dwelling for eternity? Or have we paid our dues?
As for the fans, I understand. I have never interacted with Oiler fans, so I can't really speak to their misanthropy specifically. But I hate Boston teams for that reason, so I get it.

They misread the page name. They thought it was "CapsFriendly" and thought it was a fan page.

Puckpedia.com is an option. I don't like the graphics and layout as much as CapFriendly, and the information does not seem as complete. But it is better than nothing.
The information that I have seen on the Internet from The Athletic is that CapFriendly will operate through the first day of free agency and then go dark. "CapFriendly will operate independently through the NHL Draft and on July 1, the first day of free agency. Once the transaction is closed, CapFriendly will go dark, the source said."
It makes no sense to me to purchase a website and then take it off of the Internet, but I guess that the Caps want all that information for themselves. I don't think that it is going to impact the other teams very much, since I would guess that they have their own cap charts, but for us fans it is a large negative.

I'm going to guess they wanted the people (person?) behind the website more than just the published data.

I’m thinking the same rather than an epiphany of finding every team’s player contract value and term in one place… “We need to get that just for ourselves.”

IIRC, the last couple of similar sites that were sold were done so for that exact reason. The team(s) wanted to hire the brains behind the website causing the sites to have to shut down.

After spending time reading both Edmonton and Florida GDTs, I can’t possibly root for the Oilers.
It is hard to say if Edmonton or Boston fans are worse.

He's still such a wild stallion out there. I would not want him to be the RD on my #1 pair, but if you can hide him a bit on a different pair, he can be very effective.

Oiler fans are insufferable. Everywhere they are crying about Panther players diving. Draisaitl honestly should be suspended. He left his feet and elbowed Barkov in the face.
I hope the Panthers sweep these assholes.
