Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

[TheCountofMonteCristo]

The difference between the Vegas team this year and the one we played two years ago is remarkable. That team looked dead, spiritless, and like it might be about to go into a deeper decline. And last year seemed to back it up.

There's a case for a mercy rule tonight. Its almost cruel to Florida to continue....

Eichel will have a cup before McNopersonality

 

[Habsy]

A franchise born on third base brings the cup to be defiled in this glorified carnie town.

That cup has been through it all. No biggie.

There's legitimately 4 or 5 teams watching the finals that are kicking themselves for what they did (or rather didn't) these playoffs.

 

[east coast]

do it for GGpX

Yeah, I hung in there. 62 Cup years and counting.....I think. Won't hang around for the TV small talk.

[lecoqsportif]

Geezus.

That can’t happen.

 

[GGpX]

I wonder if that's the last we'll see of Marc & Eric Staal.

 

[GrandWazoo]

This was probably the least hockey I’ve watched in the last two rounds in years. Couldn’t find a way to care. Didn’t even watched the game today.

Are you in Portland presently?

St Patrick’s been blackballed and he knows it…

As well he should be. He's a loose cannon who tried to usurp power from the guy who hired him and when he failed he up and quit. Being a coach isn't like when he essentially did the same thing as a player in 1995. Back then there was only one Patrick Roy the goalie. But the world is lousy with ex players who want to coach. He's not special anymore and having success in junior osnt the same thing. Rian Kilrea was a legendary junior coach. As an NHL coach he was worse than mediocre.

2 homophobes the league doesn't need.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

I watched Game 1 because I literally had nothing else to do. Haven't watched a minute of it since.

 

[GGpX]

Fuck me.

I always look at these guys in awe when you find out what they were playing through.

I saw Zach Whitecloud shaking hands with his left, not wanting to use his right hand. Broken thumb possibly.

Those teams dont have the will that Vegas showed

Plus , they have a huge D that didnt break down

Their depth was exceptional

I prefer to think of it as yet another franchise that didn't exist when the Leafs last won a Cup has won a Cup.

Also, "Fat Phil" Kessel, who Leafs fans ran out of town, now has 3 Cups.

That applies to the Habs too

Just for fun: Everyone's favorite woke writer decided to partially steal one of my ideas for a trade and his selections were, to be nice, less than intelligent.

Yes but the Habs have already beaten Vegas in a playoff series.

Can't even open this link on the app. It's fucked.

I’m so glad that’s all over.
