NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIII: 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs for Thee

And the players all would have learned a valuable lesson… they don’t have nearly enough talent.

"You've gotta learn to lose before you learn to win" or something like that.

i cant wait till we draft yet another nobody at 12th pick..

#rebuild complete..

Rooting for the Rangers for this round only was one of the most disgusting things I've ever had to do as a hockey fan. Not that the outcome was ever really in doubt.

For me it was rooting for the Bruins. I'm not sure that all of the slime came off of me in the shower for doing this.

I was certainly not rooting for the Rangers but rather enjoying when anything negative happened to either of them or the Capitals. If the Rangers scored, I'd relish the disappointment the Caps players and, by extension, their fans exhibited and then hope they would score to equally disappoint the Rangers and their fans. Full-on bipolar schadenfreude.

I only wanted the Caps to lose (not exactly a stretch of a wish) so Hershey would have all its players back by playoff time (which they now will). The Rags can go love themselves literally every other time.

i have no dog in the fight i dont care who wins or loss' but seeing the TML burnout never gets old

 

[ajgoal]

I will never root against the Bruins' opponent.

 

[ellja3]

Win for Šilovs, even tho he'd want that one goal back for sure. That EN miss was... something, tho. Talk about series turning point.

The curse of Tavares. It’s what happens when a rebuild is abandoned.
Actually the Leafs had a solid rebuild going until they blew their cap signing him. Since doing that they’ve had no room to fix the D and never found a goalie. Instead they’ve filled their club with cheap, or what should have been cheap, plugs.

"I just think our game has gone so far away from what the game should be," Tortorella said. "A hard game. An honest game. It's almost gotten too showman."

Shame Hexy was fired. We missed the Hak-Penguins crossover by just one year. Implying they'd fire Sullivan before the heat death of the universe, of course.

Think this is Berube.

Elliotte and Jeff thinking he’s at the top of some lists and they will want to get it done before playoff teams get to think about it.

 

[kudymen]

Ah man remembering all those not-trolling-at-all "I really dig the job Hakstol is doing there in Seattle, he brought so much" posts from hostage

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

There's been a rather desperate and insane cadre of Caps fans who, despite their team being one of two in the East who don't deserve the playoffs, were completely certain that Wilson would cause New York to completely unravel and the Caps would win the series handily.

The NYR fans I deal with are all sane and rational and therefore I rejoice in the band of local crazies being flummoxed.

Reading the post series thread on the main boards I would not call them rational. I call them cocky and over confident. The same rational fanbase who defend Trouba after he delivers one of his many questionable hits.
Screw that team and their fanbase

I will never root against the Bruins' opponent.

Screw the Bruins and their fanbase as well

BE A f***ING KRAKEN.

I’m more thinking it’s Rod The Bod.

I'm just flummoxed by the absolute legion of ex-New Yorkers who have moved to the south and raised children here, but still can't stop going on about how wonderful New York City is.

Like, if it's such a magical place, why are you here?!
