Around the NHL XXXIII - looking forward to 2018 offseason edition

[Senscore]

WOOOOO!

Sens came the closest to beat them.

What award do we get for that, champ?

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Urgh. Pitts winning in 6 makes the game 7 loss so painful.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Pens suck for a decade, get gifted Malkin and Crosby, and still can barely beat two budget teams, one of which came within one goal of beating them, the other came within a goal of getting to game 7 without their #1 center

Loser franchise no matter how many cups they win. Hate seeing utter incompetence get rewarded.

 

[edguy]

Not sure about the rules here. Does anyone know if the refs will get their names on the Cup?

Conn Smythe winners for sure so they got too right?

 

[HavlatMach9]

3 Stanley Cups, damn.

 

[Six Assets]

Crosby!

 

[Flamingo]

Lol, Crosby too busy taking a selfie to notice he was awarded the Con Smythe.

 

[Benjamin]

Boo. NHL has a problem with very few teams winning cups in the past 10 years.

 

[Deku]

lol i hate this corny Disney music

 

[Blarginator]

We get **** on for our rope-a-dope and how "lucky" we got and then the Cup is won in this exact fashion.

Congratulations to Pittsburgh but Nashville got robbed tonight.

 

[Six Assets]

Wish Doc Emrick could shut up.

 

[Deku]

the only thing I like about this is Ron Hainsey winning

 

[Senscore]

Even amongst his own teammates Crosby gets preferential treatment.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

It's too bad Fleury and Murray couldn't share the Conn Smythe... without their goaltending; Fleury allowing the team to get past Washington and Murray a reason they won against Predators (minus game 5) the Penguins don't win, imo.

 

[Flamingo]

Didn't the champs used to just roam around in a mob, passing the cup around?

 

[SanderSen]

Murray was the MVP for me. He saved the Penguins playoffs.

I couldn't watch, was the reffing ok or Pentastic?

 

[HavlatMach9]

I couldn't watch, was the reffing ok or Pentastic?

there was a game defining early whistle

 

[edguy]

When does Gary get his turn with the cup?

Okay I'm done... Onto expansion and the Sh** that actually matters

 

[caymanmew]

I did not watch a single minute of the cup final. This is the first time i have not watched the celebration since 2006. (2006 is the one time i have no recollection of watching. I was 10 and watching hockey for the first time that year so i might be simply forgetting watching)

We got so close. IMO closer then in 2007. We got Pittsburgh to game 7 double OT. Seeing them win in 6 makes our lost hurt all over again for me. One lucky bounce vs the pens and we might be celebrating tonight.

 

[Deku]

ok its over now announce some trades

 

[starling]

****. So it's 29th pick after all.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

Murray was the MVP for me. He saved the Penguins playoffs.

Murray was the MVP of the final round; Fleury of round 2. Without their goaltending duo, Pens don't get past their first 2 rounds imo.

 

[Sun God Nika]

I hate the cup ceremony every year because its not the sens lifting it

 

[mat_sens]

So in the last 10 years, Pittsburgh won it 3 times, Chicago 3 times and LA twice.

Getting pretty boring

 

[Countdown0]

Welp, everyone said we were lucky and had an easy road, and yet we were the best competition that the Pens faced.

Mixed feelings about this one...

Nah, we're the boring one, remember? We're the team that bored everyone to death on our way to the ECF!

League wide parity boys, league wide parity.
