Post-Game Talk: 2023 NHL Playoffs: Bandwagon Thread

[Stormbreaker]

Gentlemen's sweep it is. Florida is just too beat up and Vegas is just too deep.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

You let a fanbase throw rats on the ice and they think it’s ok to throw trash whenever

 

[Renopucker]

Chuckie got Kolesared and got his medicine. Couldn’t happen to a more puke worthy prick. Eichel is stirring the drink, and Stone is wolfing it down. Oh, and Viola can take those rats and put ‘em in cold storage.

 

[Hoek]

Hopefully one game left in this postseason now.

I'd like to think Vegas winning the Cup so fast would open the leagues eyes to how flawed the expansion system is, but it won't. There's something called putting in your dues and they basically got to skip that step.

The other teams also did their best to make sure Vegas was gonna be good right at the start, mainly the team they're up against right now, lol. If you look at the chatter from after the expansion draft, no one thought they were gonna be a good team so I don't see a huge issue with the rules.

 

[Hoek]

Vegas was also incredibly aggressive in going for it. Most expansion teams in the past didn't have the financial backing to put in so much salary

 

[Maelmoor]

Though to be fair, most fans and experts expected Vegas to be a bottom dweller, even thinking they would hit the lowest ever amount of points. Very few thought the system was flawed etc at the time of the draft.

“Redemption? Sure. But in the end, he's just another dead rat in a garbage pail behind a Chinese restaurant.”

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Get rek'd Panthers.

 

[StaySalty]

Vegas wins cup 6 years in.

 

[Hoek]

Lmao Panthers and getting utterly embarrassed in cup finals, name a more iconic duo

Let that be a lesson to you kitten sympathizers

Forget the rats, throw the hats

 

[Point21]

Honestly congrats to Vegas. only 16m over the cap and making the Panthers look like the Habs did in 2021

 

[Hoek]

Only 16m? That's rookie numbers

 

[Point21]

Only 16m? That's rookie numbers

i know they were at 100m in cap earlier this season

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Panthers now join the Chicago Blackhawks (1962, 1973) and Toronto Maple Leafs (1918, 1942) as the only active NHL franchises to have given up 8+ goals twice in their history in the Stanley Cup Final.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Only 16m? That's rookie numbers

Remarkably, I haven't heard anywhere near the bitching about them as we heard back in 2021. Funny, that.

its not the cool thing to do anymore

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Panthers had 5, 7, and 9 goals against in this building.

Vegas still working and Florida never even showed up

 

[Point21]

Should have called too many men on Vegas... still had 7 seconds left
