[hangman005]

Congrats Florida on your first Stanley Cup, I had to pull out so many evil tactics to get you over the line. I'll take my medal now

 

[Terry Yake]

how will oilers fans blame the league and refs for this loss?

I’ve never seen Ekholm have a worse game

If you don't love this your heart is the blackest coldest stone.

Sid is best and always will be

I'd have more respect if he won it for a Canadian team tbh.
Props for winning a gold medal. Don't care about the rest.

Wayne is the best and always will be.

 

[Rorschach]

The player won the Conn Smythe; but, the team won the Cup.

Too much time off

 

[Artemi Panarin]

The Cats deserve this and it looks like the site agrees

also lol Edmonton

 

[Tofveve]

I actually don't think I said it yet, so here it is: big congratulations to the Florida Panthers. Well deserved.

And to the Oilers too, you made it a good final and almost got it. Not far off.

That was an entertaining finals and playoffs.

The debt has not been paid ....the curse of 93 continues

Everyone was focused on the wrong 30 yrs....

Suck it Canada no cup for mcdavid and he choked.

Europe > Canada in hockey

Time for bed, kiddo.

 

[Three On Zero]

Jugding by the reactory threads on this board. Yes. People only cared about one player

HF is a very very small drop of actual hockey fans. It was probably 50% against Oilers, 25% hoping McDavid gets a cup and 25% Oiler fans

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Congrats, Panthers, nearly bottled it but fought back and turned up when they needed to.

I felt so sorry for McDavid though, the franchise has been so badly run in the past, yet he helps drag them to game 7 in the finals wib some unreal performances, and they get beat.

 

[winnipegger]

Sad not to see history being made, happy to see Paul Maurice not go down as the losiest loser coach of all time. He got his cup.

 

[Ratsreign]

Not winning a Conn Smythe when you get torched for 18 goals in 4 games of the finals.

and that’s besides
97 Broke Wayne Gretzky single season playoffs points record...
Can’t argue with it, at all.

 

[JoVel]

To anyone who celebrates, congratulations on hitting 30 non Canadian Stanley Cup winners in a row.

 

[CashMash]

and that’s besides
97 Broke Wayne Gretzky single season playoffs points record...
Can’t argue with it, at all.

You mean assists?
Gretzky's top for points is 47

 

[Marioesque]

Congrats to Panthers and fans. That was a great series

 

[Johnnybegood13]

Everybody knows that all canadians cheer for mcdavid

You mean north of Red Deer and maybe a few souls in Newmarket Ontario

 

[Breakers]

So much respect for the panthers not just making it back to the finals but winning.

But i don’t anticipate them being as good becuase of the sheer volume of hockey played.

Panther players even said the motivation of losing got them through that “shortened off-season”

Don’t think they’ll have that mindset this time around with training camp starting the week of September 10

Really cool they got one

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I felt the better team won.

You feel for McDavid, but he was completely neutralized by Barkov in the final two games. Same for Draisaitl for pretty much the whole finals. He was even more disappointing.

Florida was a very tough team with a great system.

McDavid and Draisaitl will have more chances, but being great doesn’t guarantee you’ll ever get those close again. They had their chance and they didn’t play well. It’s tough to accept for them. I’m sure they’re as disappointed as anyone.

I would’ve given Barkov the Conn Smythe after game 7, and I was someone saying it had to be McDavid after game 5.

 

[Rowlet]

super happy for cats fans, love to see a first ever franchise cup win

 

[Space umpire]

Kinda how this whole sports thing works bud

Maybe for you.

McDavid deserves a cup

I hope oiler fans do the right thing and demand the gm to trade him to a contender

A team that loses in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final isn’t a contender?
Do you have any idea how uneducated your comment shows you to be?

 

[Breakers]

Another interesting note a I took from the celebrations

Don’t be surprised if Tkachuk put a target on the Ottawa GM’s back with that speech

Essentelly telling him to build that franking team to compete this season or he is gone

Good start to far in the goalie department

I’d spend a fortune for a Tkachuk on roster
