Are we still doubting this?

Thoroughly enjoyable viewing.

Sounds like I was wring in how it would be played. May check it out tonight if that's the case didn't tune in at all last night

Crosby is unreal. What a talent, and what a disaster Pittsburgh is to be wasting him.

This tournament rules. That game was electric. Would watch this 100/100 times before the shitty All Star Game nonsense.

As a fan, 100%.

If I were a Golden Knights fan, I would be very upset. Very glad the Caps don't have anyone playing.

If you needed more incentive to tune in tonight, the dulcet tones of Skynyrd

 

[um]

Are we still doubting this?

Thoroughly enjoyable viewing.

I don't know why anyone ever thought the players wouldn't be trying.

I have never seen players not go all out when playing in an International tournament. Whether it's the NHL, IIHF or the IOC... it doesn't matter who's organizing the games.

Very fitting that it happened to a Vegas player. They’ll put him on LTIR, use his salary to add at the TDL, then he’ll be magically cleared the week before game one of the playoffs.

I've found it easier to enjoy his heroics this year when I don't care about the result

I’ve also said the greatest part, for me, of the Cup win in 2018 was losing the animosity I had towards a lot of teams and players. Ever since we won I’ve been able to appreciate since I have less of an attachment to the conclusion.

Ovi’s going to break 99’s record and we got to watch him hoist a Cup in DC, plus the team has successfully retooled and is well positioned both now and for the future. I just don’t really give a shit about other teams and their success or failure at the moment.

The greatest part for me if how Wilson infected the Penguins team building like some kind of virus to bring them to this endpoint where whether they win or lose doesn’t affect the Caps

I cannot claim same.

Did it lessen the blow, when others teams I hate do well? Yes. Yes it did.

Did it eliminate the blow? No. Not at all.

I will never want certain teams to do well, amongst many leagues or college conferences or whatever.

YES — I am still that petty at 55. So sue me

 

[Random schmoe]

As long as the Penguins exist, I will hate them. As long as Crosby is wearing their jersey, and maybe long after, I will hate him.

Doesn't mean I don't respect the shit out of his hockey ability.
