NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIII: 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs for Thee

[Magua]

Dallas is my favorite team in the West, but their logo is an abomination and their jerseys barely average. It’s indefensible and will likely cost them a Cup.

I just want the gold back but same. My nephew probably just screamed himself mute for tomorrow.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Nice? Best in the NHL is more accurate lol

Stars win! f*** off Vegas.

I’m doing some research on their hockey ops/scouting guys.

Would be nice to see Benn, and Pavelski get one. They have likely Edmonton after Colorado, Oettinger has a chance at the Conn Smythe if they get past those two imo.

There isn’t a team remaining that I dislike in the playoffs tbh.

Vegas out in the 1st round is basically all I wanted from these playoffs.

Don't even care now who wins the Cup.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I am fully behind Dallas in the West, but Vegas winning is good for ridding hockey of morons like John Tortorella and Keith Jones.

Wish Vegas had been in the Pacific bracket. They would have cruised through that group.

Vegas and Toronto out in the first

Don't care now

 

[Sombastate]

Thrilled with the outcome. Thrilled. I’ll be DJing on Fremont St in Vegas tonight. I’m gonna call it an after party

Would win a Cup:

Did win a Cup:

I don’t hate the current color scheme, but imagine having these jerseys in your back pocket and saying, “Nah.” The logo is probably the worst part.

Good lord is his brain smooth.

Boston? New York?

My Stars.

That Hertl contract looks bad. He has a bad knee and 6 years left.

Vegas would have been better off with a healthy Stone playing all season and the cap space for the rest of this decade.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Great series. Was pulling for Vegas but Dallas is awesome, couldn't go wrong with either team

 

[FlyerNutter]

Boston? New York?

Meh. Boston has Pastrnak, and McAvoy is a fun defenseman. Marchand has grown on me. I like the Ullmark, and Swayman love relationship.

Panarin, Igor, and Fox?

Maybe I’m getting soft in my old age.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

You’re all my enemies.

That's the only reason he came so cheap.

 

[Magua]

Weak class.

Gross.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Gross.

There is in a documentary somewhere, or a video a quote about how they treat rookies in Boston. More so in reference to a time when Chara was captain. A culture that’s actually worth promoting.

Here’s a quick search with a link, gives a snippet of what I mean.

Why the Bruins don’t haze the ‘first-year players’

Captain Zdeno Chara was hazed when he was a young player. He has since resolved to change the way new arrivals like Cam Hughes are treated.

theathletic.com

“We are treating everybody the same way no matter if somebody is 18, or 40, or somebody has 1,000 games or is playing in their first game. We treat everybody with respect in the same way as everybody else in the locker room. I’ve said it many times. Since a very young age, I didn’t like the separation in a team between young players and older players, [or] players who have accomplished something or players that are just coming into the league. I don’t like to use the word ‘rookie.’ They are our teammates. I just don’t like to separate. I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. Once you’re a team, you’re a team regardless of the age, or accomplishments. We have to treat each other with respect and the same way.”

I can respect success, and that they have. Boston is a well run franchise. Don’t think for a second they would cater to the same failure as they do with the Flyers in Philly.

Someone not called Max Verstappen wins F1 GP and Vegas is out of playoffs?

Nice.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

As long as the ****ing pos Rags don't win I don't care.

The Bruins don't bother me and they're not getting through Florida anyway.

 

[TCTC]

I don't mind the Bruins, tbh. They've earned their success.

They haven't had a top 10 pick in 13 years and they're still one of the best teams in the league, consistently. They lost Bergeron and they still made the playoffs and nearly won the division.

They also have that working class feel to them which is always endearing.
