Kuch is on something

He's high on cups. And addicted.

I didn't think winning 2 in a row would happen but did think that once they got one the pressure would be off and that would lead to some other deep runs. Feel like 3 in a row would be amazing but unlikely. However it's awesome that we got a shot at it. Cant ask for much more than that.

I will be so obnoxious if we win 3.

As I've always said - someone on a Hall of Fame trajectory, over 600 points in the NHL, in the middle of his career with a chance to continue padding his numbers...like he was ever going to say "yeah, sure" to the idea of missing an entire season all to help the team out instead. Complete nonsense. These guys, generally, would rather earn their money as opposed to just be given it. It's how they're wired.

For me 3 or more straight is a dynasty. I have a high bar for it, however if we do win 3 straight. We have reached Dynasty levels, and I will do my best to revel in all its glory.

I'm sure I'll earn my first back to back annual main board bans if that happens.

This is gonna be the ultimate sneeze season for Kucherov. 100 points while playing some of the worst hockey of his career. Some of us on this board will call for him to be traded because he "doesn't care." Then the playoffs will start and he will eat the whole f***ing league alive.

Right now nobody knows for sure. For the moment they’re keeping it close to the chest.

In a 7 year period, 2 Cups, 3 Cup finals appearances, 5 Conference finals appearances, 6 playoff appearances!

That is an impressive stretch and one could argue that in the last 25 years (post FA era), only Chicago with 3 cups in 6 years beats our stretch! Detroit counts as a dynasty that precedes these last 25 years and was largely before the impacts of FA were felt! If Bolts win a 3rd cup in next 2 to 3 years, then the dynasty will be best of this FA era bar none since unlikely that Pitts or Chicago are going to win another one anytime soon!

 

[Peacefool]

Rumour on Russian hockey web site is that per source (don't know which source) Kuch is going to have surgery next week and will be out for 7-9 weeks

For me only the Oilers, Canadians and the Islanders can realistically say they had a dynasty. My bar for it is stupid high. If we win it this year, we will enter that bracket.

 

[FunkyPhin]

Has there not been any news on kuch? Surprised it’s been over a week and I haven’t seen any updates. Anyone know seen any rumours for possible return?

The Lightning almost never say anything specific like that. They're so stingy on information one would be lucky they acknowledged the injury

So 3 Cups in a row is a dynasty not 4 ?

In the cap era, the general consensus seems to be three. The Blackhawks are like a fringe dynasty. Well, before it got tainted.
