Series Talk: SCFs Discussion - 2024 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

[Chaos2k7]

Let's not get it twisted, the Russian-obsessed Lightning fans who make Kucherov bragging about LTIR their entire identity are insufferable.

Every fanbase has a few outliers

Sure, but I'm just gonna go ahead and say that basing your entire persona around Nikita Kucherov slamming a Bud Light is next level cringe.

 

[CanePanther]

The two Tampa Bay playoffs were just so one-sided, end result wise, that it was hard to form much animosity.
That, and Weegar sure became the deserved whipping boy here with his Versteeg impressions of trying too much and turning over the puck.

Apparently you did not watch their many podcasters.

Apparently you did not watch their many podcasters.

And who can blame him?

 

[Prominence Problem]

To everyone (like myself) who says Florida in 5, what game do you have them losing? 3 or 4?

I say game 3.
Bob usually doesn't play the first game of a long road trip.
Plus, June 13th is the most unluckiest day of 365 for me. I was diagnosed with MS 11 years ago tomorrow. Not much good comes out of that day for me.

I'll probably feel sorry for myself tomorrow. Watch them lose (maybe win). Hopefully, the team will get a split in Edmonton. Then win the on home ice.

True still recovering. It’s fun to watch Edmonton who has twice as many on the edge of meltdown.

 

[StrangeVision]

I type...and then delete an astonishing number of comments

Kind of glad I'm not the only one who does that.

 

[Stanley Cup Boundd]

When Ekblad was choking out Bouchard, was anyone else worried that Ek would get hungry and bite his ear off like Mike Tyson did to Holyfield?

Man, I don't care if they take it to game 7 and win in the ugliest fashion possible. I just want a sniff of Cup. A crumb of Cup.

I originally though 5/6. Now after all the comments, especially the lack of respect shown for us before game 1. I'm hoping in 4 now. But like you I would've said game 3 Edmonton and we take 4.

 

[CanePanther]

Some people questioned Rodriguez but I saw he had a sense for scoring. He’s actually a really good netman.
Shoutout to Mikala never knew much about him ….I do now.

To me, we have some serious extra motivation. If we can channel that properly and stay on the edge without going over it multiple times, IMO, we’ll be in good shape. Some of our recent opponents have described the Panthers as “Coming at us in waves”! You’ve poked the bear, or in this case the Panther, deal with the consequences!!

 

[iam76]

Yeah. I expect the Panthers to come out and surprise most people by playing a super disciplined game. And still get called for ticky tack shit. Just a gut feeling.

Hope I'm wrong! LFG

I still think we're gonna get more goals 5on5

We haven't dominated offensively in a bit

Nice post ….not smart to stir the pot now you got us boiling mad……

The game after the sweep

 

[I am not exposed]

Yeah that guy eat crow LOL We’d all get lectured on how he told us that it was all Barkov’s fault, and now that he’s an Alpha the team is better.

But in all seriousness I do believe losing last year made Barkov come back hungrier this year. (not Ekblad hungry. ) He’s always been great, but he stepped it up this year. More hitting more penalties no more Lady Byng trophies. He’s been an animal.

So he was right then. Barkov finally becomes an alpha and the team is better.

Me who predicted 5 since we were on our way had them going up 2-0, losing a close game 3 then getting their shit together for 4 and winning in dominant fashion. Game 5 Edmonton comes ready to push but Bob closes shop and we beat them similar to game 2. Anything can happen of course, im just keeping it positive and fun, too many years of nothing to look forward with this team and last year was a freebie and didnt bother me, this year i expect more cause feel this is IT.

Lot of work to do still!

Better because he plays more aggressive now, sure, him being the main factor they were not getting it done in the playoffs, not so much

I'm just going to assume you're a wizard and what you're saying is 100% correct.

If it happens just like this ill straight up go the main board and take a dump on everyone then get banned into oblivion, so this will be my goodbye gift to you guys.

 

[KW]

First period of game 3 is the next key. Edmonton is gonna be frantic. Like a rabid dog.

We’ll survive it and then take game 3, and then there’s no rational reason why we don’t sweep them, at which point Drai will cry, McD will fume, ESPN will call in Rod who will declare it not a sweep.

Terrbke.

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

I don’t think we’re going to have a lot of local media in Edmonton lol. Seen a bunch of flights getting canceled

 

[Mogo]

Oilers talking so much shit about there home ice advantage.

When do we tell them were better on the road than home
