I for one will gladly take a game 7 loss in a Stanley cup final every 18 years than be a maple leaf fan or even worse a flames fan.

And that’s precisely why I don’t feel bad about it. I’m as proud of this run as I would be had they won it. FLA needed the refs to let them get away with everything (and I don’t give a shit how that comes off; it’s just the truth), the Oilers to be injured and banged up, and they won in game 7 by one goal after getting out played. The Oilers outscored them in the series 23-17, and McDavid won the Conn Smythe.
To sum it up: they played like shit, almost choked a 3-0 lead, refs let them do whatever they want every shift, outscored in the series, and no MVP. Some champions. That’s actually embarrassing.

Just checked the money puck and listening to the post game pressers. 66% in game 7. Man we were so close. If Holloway went for the tap in instead of the cross check. If they actually called Henrique being held in the slot as a Janmark net front tap in went rifht by him. If Kulak has challenged the Reinhart shot instead of just letting him walk in. If McD or Hyman could have got good wood on that net front chance in the 3rd. I could go down the list I’m sure of “what Ifs”. But man we were so close, hurts to think about this stuff should I probably shouldn’t.
It’s 89 and humid ever day in Florida by the summer. You’re not getting good ice there.
They play to the advantages of their barn and home ice was a big advantage in this series. Last change was huge.
They made game 7 of the finals! They had a great season. It could always be worse! Could be chained up in someone's sex dungeon or stung by a bee. Even worse a leafs fan!

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the end.
Even the NE US teams the ice would not be good with their heat wave. Past 10 minutes into a period ice for sure was going to be bad. But no plans for the nhl to move up their season start date. Still around CAD Thanksgiving vs Oct 1 or late Sept. they’d rather play until June 20 something than play a couple more weeks into the nfl season. But nfl doesn’t care as they will likely go to 18 games and push the SB to late Feb in the coming years.

What would stop Florida from making the ice worse in the Oilers offensive end? Probably nothing. They could have modded a zamboni to throw hot water intermittently when on that side of the ice.
Neither of these guys were injured when we traded for them. Henrique played 82 games this season and got hurt in the playoffs. Stecher seemingly got hurt in the final game of the season.

Surprised they lost after the momentum they had but in a way they were not so historically good as that comeback may have suggested.
McDavid maybe. The team impressed but no one expected them to be an all time great team. But you can see a lot of the pieces were there.

It would have simply been too good to be true for them to win the cup. Too many problems solved with other fanbases. lol

It's just jealousy, nothing more. As painful as today is for us, and will be for a while, there are 30 other fanbases that wish they had the incredible last 2 months+ that we have been blessed with. Dangle knows in his heart of hearts that the Leafs one 1st round victory will likely be the greatest playoff moment that he gets to experience as a Leafs fan, and that their core four are horribly flawed, and in a few years they will sell them all off and start another failed rebuild.

I will never intentionally watch the highlights or any part of that game ever again. Nothing good can come from doing that.

Yeah, I realized that it was the first time I saw Brind'Amour lift the Cup when I was watching the highlight package of past winners ESPN/ABC created to introduce the Stanley Cup Finals.

I actually did some things to get my mind off of hockey (although I listened to a bunch of pods while doing them - 32Thoughts, GYB, Marek, Reid’s postgame), I changed reverse osmosis filters, changed oil in my side by side UTV, walked 17kms, then went fishing for a few hours. Now I’m just pondering how this team can get back to the finals next year in the west conference.
Will be tough. Game 7 was an opportunity.
