2024 Conference Finals

[Night Train]

Heck of an outburst by Dallas. Down 2-0 then 3 goals in 3 1/2 minutes. Oilers in trouble.

They definitely found their game in the second period.

I still can’t believe that the NHL has had 6-7 canadian teams and haven’t won in 30+ years.

 

is it the pressure ?

With the exchange rate the Canadian teams have to win like 30% more games.. that's not easy to do.

You know the odd thing about poutine is it's different in every province. In Saskatchewan it's just melted Velveeta like goo over fries. It shouldn't even be called poutine there but it is. 

As for Canada winning, didn't the 50 year curse get reversed onto Montreal when the Rags won? Maybe that was for the whole country.

Oh and as for having 7 teams, no, we have 6 and the Leafs (or maybe that's what you meant by 6-7)

That's a travesty of a dish! No thank you. 

As for the Canadian teams, that wasn't me lol, but it is kind of crazy that it's Canada's national sport and they haven't sniffed a cup in a hot minute.

Oh I know, I was just combining posts for simplicity. It is a little weird. I guess Canucks losing to Bruins was the closest that I remember. Game 7. 

Leafs being good regular season bad playoffs has been a big part of it. It's odd to me how Montreal has lost it's stature. It was such a mainstay for so many years and despite the underdog cup run (due to goaltending mostly) they have just fallen away and it no longer has the glamour. I think Calgary, Ottawa and Winnipeg have all suffered from being smaller markets where some players don't want to be there. Vancouver might be back in contention depending on how they handle the off season and McDavidland has a shot as they've balanced their roster finally but overall I think free agency and the revealing of salaries has hurt Canadian teams in general.

If im Holland I would be all over Ullmark this offseason.  Skinner is't the goalie that helps you win cups.

[gomper]

Okposo and Lorentz in, Lomberg and Cousins out. Interesting choices by Maurice.  I guess we'll see.

I thought j was in the world championship thread for a second and got very confused.

Another 15 minutes to face off?  I’ll be in bed before the 2nd period starts.

So many NY fans in Florida, disgusting away team turnout for a ECF game.

Wasn't that the Caniacs main gripe back in '06?

Probably. Southern hockey just doesn't sell the same m

Also, how trouba wasn't suspended for that blatant elbow... Is disgusting. 

[TheAud]

When I see that Cancer PSA commercial with Trouba and his Mom I wonder to myself “does she know her son is a dirty POS hockey player?”

[Pimlach]

Trocheck gets another one.  Former Panther is a really good player. 

[Wyldnwoody44]

It's gonna be a NY/Dallas final and I'm going to have less than 0% interest in that. 

[Gatorman0519]

Florida is a bit flat. Lose tonight and it’s over. I don’t want to see NY in the finals.

Yeah, I dunno but Florida played that period like they're ready for a vacay.

Subban is obnoxious and a punk.    Acts like he was a big tough guy, all his commentary is the same.   Meanwhile, he is getting side eye from Messier, the ultimate warrior.

He’s so inconsequential.

He appeared on my preferred sports podcast, where the vibe is irreverent and cliches are roundly mocked. The show regularly delivers laughs.

PK’s segment was so bland. I mean, superficially, he can do the job. He talks a blue streak. But … there’s nothing there.

I wound up hate-listening to the whole thing. Awful.

[Buffalonill]

Florida is playing like they know they they've won the cup wake the f****** up I hate the Rangers
