[Empty Goal Net]

Suck it, Bruins!

And less than a minute after the Canes' goal, Taylor Hall, taking a break from dusting off his Hart credentials, commits a loss-of-composure double minor.

These Eastern playoff matchups are becoming a case of "cheering for the team I hate less"

I want the Canes to win, but only because I hate Boston more. And Pens over Rangers because I probably hate the Rangers (and their fanbase on here) more than any other Eastern team.

 

[Hivemind]

Team I hate the least in the East is probably.... Florida? Maybe Carolina if I can't get over the loss to the Panthers.


Fully onboard the Colorado bandwagon at this point

 

[RedRocking]

That Domi pickup is looking pretty, pretty good

 

[max21]

Pretty frustrating watching other teams thrive at home feeding off the crowd in an elimination game, while we just pee our pants

 

[ovikovy817]

Crosby with a concussion?

 

[Devil Dancer]

Bruins and Pens seem to be on the same fading glory path as the Caps. Misery loves company, I suppose.

Bruins outclassed the Caps just last year.

 

[RedRocking]

Smith from CAR is such a dirty player. He injured TvR, Dowd and almost Kuzy last time we were in Raleigh.

That high elbow on Pasta should DoPS worthy - he left his feet, went high with his elbow: clear as day.

Bruins outclassed the Caps just last year.

So what? I said they were on the same path, not that they were in the same place.

 

[Langway]

That Lindholm trade seems like one of the most pointless in recent memory, particularly given their weak forward depth and prospects.

 

[John Price]

Bruins eliminated

 

[max21]

Yeah every Bruin fan can f*** off, that team and fans suck. I’m not Carolina fan by any mean but f*** the bruins entirely

 

[g00n]

CHOWDA!

 

[895]

Toronto will win

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Rooting for a winner in the Canes vs Rangers/Pens series will be impossible.

Florida vs Toronto would be cool. I’ll root for either of those teams.

In the West I honestly don’t care. The Wild were my bandwagon team but anyone but the Blues and Kings at this point since I want to see someone win who hasn’t won in a while.

A Colorado vs Florida or Toronto series would be a ton of fun. Tons of speed, great scoring depth, questionable goaltending for all of those teams.

I can tell the Caps losing doesn’t affect me as much any more since I used to not be able to even think about hockey for months let alone watch the rest of the playoffs if and when the Caps lost.

If penguins win tomorrow Carolina. If rangers win i become neutral. Pittsburgh and Boston would be out meaning I'm at peace

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

This is easy, you root for Pittsburgh to lose.

It’s strange but I just don’t hate them like I used to. The young “whipper snapper” teams who haven’t done shit but talk a lot of shit like Carolina and New York irritate me much more at this point.

 

[Langway]

Nick f***ing Paul.

Kuemper had a really strong second half FWIW.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

I feel bad for rooting for TB against Toronto but if Toronto wins their fans will be insufferable:

 

[HeyMattyB]

OTOH, if Toronto loses, their fans will still be insufferable.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I legitimately feel bad for Leafs fans if they blow this. They have to be thinking the same things we thought for years.

“This cannot be happening again.”
“Who the f*** is Nick Paul?!?!”
“I actually cannot believe how bad we are in the playoffs.”
“Why can’t we have nice things, just once?”
“I really hate this sport. Can’t do this again.”

 

[PlushMinus]

I don't personally know any Toronto fans so it wouldn't matter to me (in the real world).

Most of the people on HF Boards are insufferable, let alone Toronto fans, so it would just be same shit, different day around the mains anyway.

 

[Devil Dancer]

I like it around here when Tampa wins. They have like 5 active fans on the NHL forum.
