Series Talk: Stanley Cup Playoffs 2024

[the_fan]

I want to see greatness shine through and there's no one greater than McDavid. I'll be rooting for him to win it all.

I think you spelled Makar wrong

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

If McDavid wins the cup, imagine the number of f***ing threads on the main board about 'How much more does McDavid have to do before he is considered the greatest of all time". The amount of slobbering over the dude is also at super gross levels. I want nothing but failure for him and his legion of minions who can't go 30 minutes without creating new, and obnoxious commentary on how f***ing great he is. Yea, he's great. Cool story. There've been many greats and there will be many more. Stop choking on his chode so much.

I mean I hope the Oilers win this series because I hate Mr Potato Head’s style of hockey and also am a little more worried about Dallas beating Florida than the Oilers.

Cats would have gone from Vasi to Swayman to Igor to get to the Finals so watching them light up Skinner would be a lot more fun than playing Otter (even though I think he’s the worst of the 4).

I do hope McDavid wins one Cup (not multiple) eventually but not until he’s left the Oilers. All the bandwagoners who didn’t care about the Canucks before this season finally went away until September, I don’t want to deal with all the Alberta transplants crawling back out even though there’s a lot less of them here now with TMX done

I don't really care about that. McDavid is probably the greatest all time, yes I said it. Competition tougher, all that shit. But it would be kinda funny if he failed to win.

But most importantly, the Oilers must not win. That's the most intolerable fanbase here at HF, and f*** them Canadian teams in general. McDavid can win his cup with Tampa or Chicago or LA (or with us ) when he's 39 years old.

I am sorry, the greatest? That's silly.

 

[Avs_19]

Some nice physical play from McDavid early on.

A wild stat (at least to me): MacKinnon was credited with 8 hits in 11 playoff games. McDavid has 27 hits in 13 games coming into tonight.

 

[the_fan]

Ah oh Skinner

And a tie game. Looks like this one might be goaltending optional game

 

[BaconNater]

Did the Avs loosen the lid on the jar (Stars) so the Oilers could fully open it? Stars stink

Mack taking out Hintz (with what really looked like a pretty routine crosscheck albeit to the wrist) hurt them a lot. Stars are also just garbage at home for reasons

Also for real the Oilers familiarity with playing Tanev really helps them but we also may have helped that by getting him banged up

 

[the_fan]

Stars might be running out of gas playing Vegas and Avs in first 2 rounds

Not wild to me. MacKinnon refused to engage in most physical battles this entire playoffs.

 

[avsfan9]

How the f*** did the Avs lose to these green pieces of shit? Pathetic-

 

[BaconNater]

Somebody poke Daboer, I thought he was the mastermind genius of the world!!

 

[nammerus]

This Oilers team would have run a train on the Avs. Crazy how ruinous this Cmac tenure has been.

 

[Avs91]

I do think the Avs gassed the Stars a bit.

 

[Balthazar]

Oilers outshooting the Stars 16-4 in the first. If anything DeBoer needs a wake up call, this isn't Bednar anymore. Oilers can adjust.

Yea let's not act like the Stars are no longer good because they aren't playing us

 

[GeoRox89]

Notice how the Oilers are playing the damn dump and chase game? That was a winnable series for the Avs if they had been hungrier and committed to it (and figured out how to execute the damn corner dump) instead of being stubborn and pouty about not being able to play ‘their game’ the way they wanted

Oh f*** off. It's getting toxic how much some people are jerking off to Oilers around here.

Players didn't decide on their own how to play, they were instructed to play a certain style.

I don’t think Bednar pressed the issue enough but not letting Mack and the top line off the hook either

 

[mack74]

The worst thing about the Oilers winning would be the Conn Smythe being awarded to Bouchard because the universe is cruel and you know it would happen. Then the ensuing “Bouchard is better than Makar” ridiculous takes from Oilers fans all next year. I would probably have to take a hiatus from HF

More like talking about how shit the Avs are. But sure, I guess if you like the image of jerking off McDrai better, you can interpret it that way.

First of all, Oilers are not winning the Cup. Second of all, they are not winning this series.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Pretty bitter in here. Oilers stars players are showing up. The Avs star player didn't. Get over it.

Yeah. That doesn't mean they will win the cup. And they won't.
