Now imagine poking fun at Calgary's best player getting hurt in Game 3 of that final, playing Game 4 with one arm and then missing Game 5. Then imagine cheering as your newly-favorited, ultra-stacked team from Tampa destroys that low-seeded team with a "hot goalie and one good player" that "has no business being in the playoffs."

Imagine being a complete rando who has zero riding on the outcome this fight you find yourself watching between an actual giant and some dude named David with a slingshot. You don't know what started the fight, who anyone is or what any of this has to do with anything... but you stand there anyway, jumping up and down with glee as you watch the giant squash slingshot-boy into a pile of goo.

Imagine your a fan of the Flames team from the first story, but instead of cheering for Florida or David, you're cheering for Vegas and the giant, because "f# underdog Cinderella stories."
I can’t figure out who you are talking about but all the reasons we cheer for who we cheer for are pretty random and silly

This could be the first time Bettman doesn’t get booed.

It must be hard if you're on the team losing and knowing there is no chance of coming back, but you have to play down the clock.

NGL, I was hoping/wishing for so much more out of this series. I was hoping for a tight, hard-fought 7 game series between the two teams.

But Vegas brought it hard and never let up. Congrats, Vegas

I didn’t see Fla as much of an underdog in the whole POs. They were at the top last year and they have a lot of talent on the team. They just had a weird season.

And Vegas, while they finished on top this year, was not even in last years POs. I figured Colorado to be a way stronger team.

Anyway, I cheered for Vegas because I like teh city and I think they are a good team.

I'm happy for Dino at least. I imagine it is going to be a really great place to be tonight.

Nobody, just blows my mind that there's only like four or five people here cheering for Florida when the similarities between this year for Florida and '04 for Calgary are so uncanny.
