a few gems from the other site:
I just feel so bad for the guys. McDavid and Draisaitl are just targets and the league does nothing but say "it's playoff hockey" while Tkachuk and Bennett flop around and are labeled champions.
As bad as Tkachuk’s on ice comments were after the game, Maurice’s were even more vomit inducing. He took Narcissism to a new level. I don’t remember them word for word because, honestly, I wanted to forget them as soon as I heard them but he basically compared himself to every great in hockey who had ever won the Stanley Cup because he himself has now won one too. Rocket Richard was one of the names he pulled out of his ass. It was infinitely more bizarre and out there than any of the other pressers he’s given during the playoffs on nights when he was feeling good about himself. Nick Zito isn’t the only lunatic working for that team.
We could have had Matt Tkachuk. But we picked the goofy looking Finn.
the trolls are out with their little "is this the closest McDavid will get to the cup?" thread and the mods dont do anything about it. This site sometimes.
It sucks that Gary and his #### League got to suck up all the hype, drama, excitement, revenue, and storylines that only the Oilers and the Edmonton market could bring to this League creating one of the most intriguing Cup finals in history, and they he doesn’t even need to award Edmonton a Cup over it. f***in piece of a #### vampire. Without Edmonton, this is just another mediocre cup final that does nothing for the popularity of the League.
Tin foil hat on for this one probably just still upset. But something just doesn’t sit right with me about how this all played out. In 2006 the team made a Cinderella run getting all the way to game 7. Game 7 it was like everyone just stopped playing. I chalk it up to having nothing left in the tank. Fast forward to 2024 team makes it game 7 and almost the identical scenario plays out minus the empty net goal. Now I’m not saying that sports are 100 percent scripted but at this point you have to wonder. How do two teams 18 years apart have almost exactly the same thing happen in game 7 for some of them being their last chance at a cup? Does anyone else here start to wonder if it’s all smoke and mirrors and the players follow a script?
That had to be the absolute worst ice conditions in recent history. Home ice advantage was definitely on display last night.
