In Winnipeg they don't empty the building with over 6 minutes left, no matter what the score. I get it, it's a Sunday night, but as a fan I found that super lame.
Washington has been a lot of fun to watch the last month, love how that team is playing.
I'm not sure why we are supposed to care about how full an arena is at any point in the game. People bought the tickets, they chose to go home when they wanted to. And?

Awesome by Caps so far. Hope they keep it up. That’s one team and fanbase that really deserves a success finally.
Because only true, loyal fans stay in their seat for every single second. No bathroom breaks. Pee your pants like a "real" fan. And call me Miles Davis.
People are just supercilious

I'd at least stay and support my team. Also it's playoff hockey and tickets probably cost a ton. I'm not missing 10 minutes of hockey that I payed for.
Love watching the Caps do well, finally. But I'll find it funny if they end up in the Finals against VGK and Fleury gets hot. Would sort of feel like the Penguins reaching back from the grave for one last swipe at Ovi.
Either way, both series have been fun to watch so far, though I wouldn't mind if the Lightning put up a bit of a fight before bowing out.

That's a very odd way to go about watching sports live. If the product is not entertaining me I am not going to waste more of my time experiencing it just because I paid for it. Especially when I can leave early and reduce the amount of time it will take to get home.
And even if it wasn't "true fandom" to leave a game early, why does it matter? Hockey has a weird obsession with fans of the teams trying to demonstrate how much better their fans are than others.
that's because hockey has the highest percentage of hardcore fans compared to other sports. Casual fans couldn't care less about being better than other team's fans

I have no qualms about wanting Tampa to get smashed, because even if they do, it wouldn't be because Yzerman didn't put together one of the best teams in hockey.

Watched him, Barzal, and Bear a lot with the T-Birds. That team was crazy good, was really hoping any of them would've ended up with the Wings. Especially when Barzal dropped so far.
Pacquette matched up against Kuznetsov.
No wonder Tampa is getting worked.
Edit: Whoops. Forgot we're in Washington. Still, that matchup is deadly for the Caps if they can get it.

Man, the end of that game... the puck control by the Caps and the goaltending was just terrific.

Well Vegas is officially in the final. It's pretty unbelievable. They're an expansion team! An expansion team in the Stanley cup final! I just have no explanation for this. I can't reconcile what's happening with what "should happen." What an insane story. I can't wait to watch the movie starring Charlie Hunnam (Jax From Sons of Anarchy) as Wild Bill Karlsson
