One extra cup is not worth a lifetime after of no playoff hockey and eternal ridicule.

 

[sufferer]

gib cups

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Depends on hoe far apart the Cups are for me

 

[A4T1L6]

The one that gives you more cups lmao what is this question

 

[ijuka]

More playoffs = more games to watch = more entertainment, easy choice.

I don't understand people who think that cups are everything. Entertaining hockey is the most important thing.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

I went with one Cup.

If it was no Cups, different story. But winning one Cup along with years of entertainment is something I’d enjoy a lot more than two Cups but eight years of awfulness.

 

[Voight]

2 cups without a doubt.

 

[bukwas]

Cups are the measuring stick of success.
Easy choice for me.

 

[King 88]

Well hard to say depends when the cups are won in those 10 years. If its like two cups in a row and rest failure I take 1 cup but if like 1 cup suck for years win second cup i go with that.

OP. You described a 10 year span. Your first option is 1 cup while never missing the playoffs so that's clear. Your second choice is 2 cups but your team misses the playoffs most of the time.

What do you define as most of the times? I'll assume that you're not counting the cups as playoff appearances so in a 10 year span, let's assume that that's 2 cups and 2 playoff appearances. That still comes out to 4 playoff appearances in a 10 year span. I would happily trade 6 playoff misses for an extra cup.

The closest comparison I could come up with for this poll would be the Miami Marlins who have two World Series wins six years apart but have been generally putrid outside of those seasons

The cups seems like an obvious pick for the thrill and two championships but I couldn’t imagine the pain of being a Marins fan...

 

[Machinehead]

I'm a Rangers fan and a Giants fan so I pretty much lived both.

I'll keep the two Superbowls.

 

[Boats Ahoes]

I understand the "Cup or bust" mentality from NHL players, who literally dedicate their entire life to the game of hockey. As a fan, I just want to be entertained. Denying myself 8 years of watching my team play playoff hockey is not worth the extra cup

Caps have been in the playoffs I think 28 times in 35 seasons and it didn’t end well a single f***ing time until this week. Like the 1st time they make it out of the 2nd round Dino Cicerelli looks like the 1st guy they can count on to score playoff goals (just had to trade 2 HOFers) oops injured immediately swept out. They make the finals as the flukiest team ever just to play a team with 7 HOFers and by the way you better f***ing enjoy it because you just traded J Allison and Ansin Carter as throw ins for old ass Oates oops over already. Close out like 12-1 to make the playoffs for the 1st time with Ovy? Game 7 Phillys trip goes uncalled Caps goes called plus a goal disallowed. There’s no moral victories in the playoffs look at Ottawa, crazy Cinderella season without the nookie now they’re a garbage fire. I can’t pinpoint one Pens memory because it’s like the doctor asking where did he touch you. These other horrible memories just available on recall and I had like 1 legitimately good memory, Fedorov game 7 right circle vs NYR. And all the f***ing time it’s like Carolina and Vegas and Tampa and Florida in the finals, not getting swept and therefore getting farther than the Caps ever had, because it’s hockey and totally random. I don’t understand who would vote 1 SC.

1 cup and making the playoffs (and hopefully exciting playoff runs) the rest of the time.

I'd take 2 cups and missing the playoffs every other year over never winning the cup (but always making the playoffs/making it pretty far in the playoffs), but winning at least one cup and feeling excited the rest of the years is enough for me.

 

[Boats Ahoes]

As a Hurricanes fan, I have memories of our 2002 and 2009 playoff runs that are nearly just as fond as our 2006 Cup win. 2009 in particular was probably the most exciting string of games I have ever witnessed.

If you want to call those years failures because we didn't win the cup, go ahead. I'd rather just watch entertaining hockey.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Would you make $1M twice in 10 years and make $0 the other 8 years, or, would your rather make $100,000 for 9 years, and $1M in one year?

One is worth $2M the other $1.9M. Close poll .

 

[djboos22]

2 cups 100% of the time.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Well hard to say depends when the cups are won in those 10 years. If its like two cups in a row and rest failure I take 1 cup but if like 1 cup suck for years win second cup i go with that.

So a Cup in year #1, and a Cup in year #10 is OK?
Its my choice too, but the above is chance you take.

 

[Leonhard Euler]

I quite honestly like the 1 cup and always play offs more. You're fan of a strong team and get to cheer for them in the play offs every year.
maybe with hindsight the other team has 2 cups, but for most of the time you watched a team that sucked and didn't even make the post season.

 

[tony d]

Option 1. You'd still have a cup but wouldn't have a playoff absence. 1 extra Cup's not worth that.

 

[AKL]

None of us the play in the NHL. Cups are all but meaningless for us. They're fun to celebrate, but I want to watch good hockey more than anything. Getting two cups is great, but if you miss the playoffs the rest of the time you're watching bad hockey.

 

[Plural]

As a fan? Consistent playoff appearances with a championship would be my choice. For the emotional and thrills playoff hockey gives.

As a player? Two Cups.

 

[Laineux]

Hockey is f***ing boring when your team misses the playoffs.

Gotta go with a Cup and constant playoff hockey.
