Series Talk: Around the NHL - 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs - Conference Final

[MartyOwns]

I honestly don't care who makes the final or wins the cup. Either we get a 1st rounder in 2019, or we see a new team hoist the cup.

you seriously value getting a 1st rounder the same as seeing a new team win the cup?

 

[Edge]

Food for thought - for those of you who want to move up, but don’t necessarily want to give up a pick in this draft, using the higher pick in 2019 is a potential compromise.

So you too have a vested interest in the Bolts.

 

[eco's bones]

The absolute best case scenario for us is Tampa wins the Cup this year and next year they have a thousand injuries and completely fall apart and become a lottery team. Just saying---it's possible.

 

[bobbop]

The Rangers having another first round pick will help their rebuilding efforts.

An improved rebuilding effort will make me happier.

A happier me is a better father, husband, and neighbor.

A better father, husband, and neighbor contributes to the quality of life enjoyed by my community.

A better community fosters productive people and fosters progress.

Progress contributes to the betterment of mankind.

I want Tampa Bay to win. Mankind depends on it.

When Edge is happy, the Boards are a happier place.

Cumbaya!

 

[haohmaru]

I'm happy that bobbop is happy that Edge is happy

 

[Irishguy42]

Yo dawg, I heard you like happiness, so I...

Gourde has one of the most punchable faces I’ve ever seen

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Too much man pretty blatant

 

[Irishguy42]

Caps giving Bolts the business.

Too much man pretty blatant

There was no-one even close to the bench so weird

 

[haveandare]

I know it’s worse for the rangers but I can’t stop myself from pulling for the caps here. Always been an Ovechkin fan.

 

[mike14]

What a rocket

 

[Irishguy42]

Not even from the OviSpot.

Wew.

 

[will1066]

Holy god the only slapper that's harder than Ovi's is Joan Collins'.

And Kucherov has sick, sick hands.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

The music playing in the Caps room

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Analysts finally catching on that Miller doesn’t shoot

Gourde can mouth.

I know I should want Tampa to win because it benefits the Rangers but I just find myself rooting for the Caps. I don't know what it is but I just hate the Lightning more. Even if they didn't have half our players.

Both teams have insufferable fanbases, honestly.

But the Caps have Tom Wilson. Case closed.

Guys like Gourde, Killorn, and Paquette.

For me, I like OV more than I like anyone on the Lightning and I also get this vibe from TB like they already have it wrapped up which I’m not a fan of.

Johnson also. I guess that's what it is. Tampa has so many punchable faces.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

why is cooper not putting G on against OV?

*LITERALLY* the only player G doesn’t get caved in against.

Cooper’s the most underrated bad coach in the league

Cooper’s the most underrated bad coach in the league

Totally agree with this.

He’s a slightly better AV imo.
