The lady with the dog on the ice and wearing sunglasses, is that the owner?

I think it's the owner's wife.

Might be the worst take I've ever seen on this site.

I've personally had way worse takes.

Somewhere Lord Stanley is rolling over in his grave

What's your main account? Strange that you made an account just today.

 

[McFlyingV]

Nah he’s drunk with Matty


No Canadian team has anything to say. We all suck dude. Over 30 years? How many finals lost each?

If that's what you take from life then all the power to you. Try to enjoy the experiences even if they don't end the way you want them to. The win is part of the enjoyment, but the entire journey is much more of it.

I don't doubt that for even millisecond.

You have a Cup ring? How much was it from the dollar store?

Only Cup rings he’s seen are on the coffee table when he doesn’t use a coaster

Why do you think we all think of 2011 still. You guys will watch this run back 10 years from now. Just how it goes. Result sucks but it’s still fun. And opposing fans will still say something about it.

One day Canada!

Congrats to Florida from an Oilers fan!
Disappointed with the outcome, but proud of the boys for clawing back the entire season. I'm more heartbroken for McDavid than anything.
But if the Panthers can win one after losing in the finals the year before, I'm optimistic about next year!

Wouldn't be Vancouver, that's for sure. How can an awesome team like the Canucks lose to a shit tier team like the Oilers?

Luck and injuries play a part of course

I'm pretty happy we were able to go 7 with a 3rd stringer with 10 games experience. Really shows how shit the oilers were that they need 7 games

Oilers had everything go their favor this playoffs and they still couldn't get it done

Must be demoralizing for the fans

I don't think I will. I was a child when 2006 happened to the Oilers so yeah I have nostalgia of that. But I feel like at some point you have to grow up and become an adult and realize winning and losing doesn't matter nearly as much as you think even as a die hard fan. All the experiences along the way are what really matter at the end of the day, but perhaps that's just a mindset. Maybe some people are so results based that they just completely ignore the process which is 99% of the journey. To each their own I suppose. The win is nice, but I'd rather lose and have this experience than not have this experience at all.

But you still lost just like we did. Always the little brother.

Sid would've drowned on the Oilers.

Amen. Ultimately, whether my favourite team wins or loses has exactly zero effect on my life. Oilers lost? That sucks. I’m over it though - I’ve got my own life to live. See y’all next season!

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Congratulations to the Panthers, well deserved. Took them a loss in the finals to get to the top this time. Oilers had an incredible run, they gave it their all. Maybe they can take a page from Florida and do 1 game better next year. Both teams were tremendous this year.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Seeing as they are Canada’s diving squad, I’m not so sure about that.

That’s what I’m saying though. I remember every small detail of my day on game days. How nice the weather was, watching with friends etc. The result could be different to cap off the journey but it was still fun as f***. Our lives don’t change, maybe for a week or so after we are a bit sad but life goes on.

Rivals will throw shots. That’s just sports.

You're right, he would've fit right in there.

 

[Muffin]

Mostly butt hurt Flame and Canuck fans who find solace having to trash the Oilers for losing in game 7 of the finals while their teams suck.

Bro you guys were doing the same thing when the Avs rolled the Flames in 2019

 

[Slapshot_11]

Only a couple years left until mcdavid leaves and the oilers become irrelevant again

Good attitude and perspective. Couldn't agree with you more.

Reinhart made a LOT of Money with that goal

They’re back to irrelevance now IMO.

Ain’t no way they’ll be back soon…if ever. This year was Disney storybook perfect for them and they blew it.

It’s back to “sure…I’ll believe it when I see it” land for them.
