Marty cried his way out of this organization. He doesn't deserve the love he gets.

We don't have a Cup without him. He's the best player in this team's history. It's a shame how things ended up but he deserves all the love he gets.

 

[Sky04]

On other thing, does it bother anyone else that Marty St Louis is coaching the team that’s beating the snot out of the team he made his career with? The guy’s number is retired in our rafters & is forever a lightning legend. Now he and Torts team up to hand us one of the worst upsets in the modern era. I’m sorry but it bothers the heck outta me. Forget the trade request & all that, this annoys me more considering the circumstances

You do know he was just a power play advisor right? This guy isn't sitting on the bench or even in the locker room during these games.

This reasoning just sounds stupid, do you think red wings players took it personally as Yzerman elimated them twice with tampa.

 

[T REX]

Lmao this guy cares what an Oiler fan thinks of him? Hahahahahahahahahahahha

Yeah, one oiler fan. Sorry I do care how our fans are viewed in general. The hubris was off the charts. Unwarranted arrogance. Now we are truly CHOKING on it.

 

[Master P]

Honestly, it has no bearing on the outcome. But it does represent the fanbase poorly. When you have other fans coming in happy we are getting swept because "our fans were obnoxious" that's porobably not that great.

While you claim..."not serious" a lot of folks thought you were. Sorry. It was bad juju from the get go and you all look foolish now.

You know what represents the fanbase poorly? Fans who relish in their team losing.

We don't have a Cup without a lot of guys.

It's the internet. Get over it. We had every reason to be arrogant and believe in this team. Not everyone is just miserable and waiting for reasons to celebrate failures.

Who is relishing? Friday I sat on my back porch, stared into the dark abyss and drank myself asleep. You're just bitter I was right all along and you don't have the sack to admit I was right. Instead, you are throwing half hearted shade at me.

This is true not only in hockey.
Also in soccer, in basketball and in the other sports.

Seems like you're choking on stuff you didn't even say about people you don't even know.

 

[God King Fudge]

I don't like hockey anymore, guys.

Still gonna stick around so I can complain about stuff and claim I was right about things, but I really hate this sport and the team.

 

[ccman68]

Where is the team that won 62 regular games and was supposed to win the cup, this year?

Really wouldn’t laugh if I was you. Thanks to the Price and Weber contracts you guys will be stuck as a bubble team for the next decade. Can’t be too fun knowing you have zero chance of winning the cup for a while.

We might be a bunch of chokers but at least we will have a chance every year to win it all.

 

[God King Fudge]

LMAO. The Blue Jackets have never even won 3 games in a single postseason before. And here we are.

This is completely disastrous. I of course hope for a miracle comeback, but part of me really wants them to get swept, to see if it forces some kind of change.

If you're chokers, than the last part makes no sense at all.

But I am not here to rub salt in the wounds. I loved watching Tampa this season. Not seeing them in the next round means less excitement imo.

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Man, I still love this team. I hate what they have done the past week, but I still love this team.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Wings fan here. I remember this feeling all too well in 1995-96. Slaughtered the regular season only to "choke" against the avs in the WCF. When the blues took us to game 7 OT in the second round I knew we had a hard road ahead. Good luck from a wings fan but I seriously doubt you guys will come back. Beating a team 4 straight is tough

Hey, thanks.

I didn’t get the vibe they were laughing, just asking an honest question. Where is THAT team?

That person knows damn well the Canadians won’t be winning anything in the Atlantic

 

[BoltsOfAnarchy]

Exactly, and no matter how many times they crap the bed I’ll still come back. It’s frustrating to watch this play out & I think extra hard bc of the scenario. Plus quite a few people could see there were some holes within the club & similar issues have risen as prior years.

Sometimes it just feels good to vent & complain.

Yeah he’s basically a consultant I know pal. You may not agree with my reasoning but it’s not stupid. I get the Yzerman correlation too, but he was further removed from his playing days & that wings series win didn’t happen overnight. Marty’s role as a consultant just came about a couple months ago & we just happen to match up against them. Plus the way Marty left still irks some people.... despite everything he did good for the franchise.

And here’s a fun fact. The night we retired the number 26 was against.... the Columbus Blue Jackets (said in a smug Pierre McGuire voice)

Well wasn't that just so Torts could give his speech?

I would have a hard time getting excited for next year if nothing changes. Why would the result not be the same? I'll still be watching but man, this is the most depressed I've been about this team during my fandom. Just at a complete loss of what the hell is going on.

 

[T REX]

Wow. Cooper is taking a lot of blame out there on Sirius and WDAE. He is getting outcoached. That's the word outside of Tampa. Not good. He did not learn from last year's Caps series.

Yeah. I honestly can't see myself being all that engaged in the season next year if there's no major changes. They can win 62 in a season and just lay down in the playoffs. Doesn't get me hyped up.

And Yzerman left the Red Wings to help us kick their asses. That's professional sports. They aren't tied to one team for life.

Do you also think it's a slap in the face when a player gets traded and has to beat his old team due to his new obligations?
