Damn I don't even get to see Coleman hoist it? Bunch of bullshit

Hopefully, the New Jersey Devils website gets some video or a picture of him doing so.

It would suck if they didn't.

 

[glenwo2]

Coleman on NBCSN now

hope they put up the interview somewhere 'cause I am unable to see it.

Scott Wedgewood lifting the cup on TV.

holy shit. I forgot he was Tampa’s third string goalie.

Please tell me he doesn’t get his name on the cup? Good god. Did he even dress a game this playoffs or even in the regular season at all?

I forgot he even played in the Tampa organization until I saw a guy with Wedgewood on the back of his jersey and in goalie pads lifting the cup.

I dont know if that thing on the background screen with all the names is legit, but I swear I saw his name there.

 

[Nicomo Cosca]

I wonder if Coleman will drink pickle juice out of the Cup?

 

[Oneiro]

As much as they've pulled some cheap shots, what a good team. That's pretty much how you build a team in this era.

And hell yeah, Pickles.

Blake being interviewed by Pierre about hoisting the Cup. "It's a little heavier than I thought but f*** it."

 

[Bleedred]

That’s some team in Tampa. They have a couple of former Rags and two former NJD players that should have never been allowed to leave. Thanks Ray for not re-signing Maroon, who has now won the cup every year since leaving. And thanks again to Fitz for trading away Blake Coleman. Both players are pure winners.

Now I really hope someone somewhere puts up the interview he had.

 

[Blackjack]

For some reason it just occurred to me that the hockey season was almost exactly 12 months.

 

[Zippy316]

Happy for Coleman.

Hopefully now that he's won a cup he wants to come back to the Devils when he's a UFA and do it here.

 

[glenwo2]

LOL!

FOUND IT!!

 

[Bleedred]

One of the biggest problems with Tampa in the past couple years that they were fortunate enough to not have to deal with this year was the fact they had some really terrible anchors on defense like Dan Girardi playing for them at all and Coburn eating too many minutes and Stralman was playing 22 minutes a night for them in the 2018 playoffs. Luke Schenn played a bunch of games for them this year, but only averaged 10-11 minutes a game.

It reminds me of when Pittsburgh dumped Brooks Orpik and made a couple good cups runs a couple years later or when Washington had Orpik eating all those minutes, before demoting him to a lesser role in the cup winning year.

FOUND HIM SKATING WITH THE CUP!!!! (and more of the interview)



@Zajacs Bowl Cut , you said he didn't do much with it.

I saw he kissed the CUP not once but TWICE while skating around with it.

I dont know if that thing on the background screen with all the names is legit, but I swear I saw his name there.

it cant be legit……just someone got paid to photoshop some sort of mock up…..there are certain criteria and a maximum number of names that teams can submit for the engraving….something around mid 50's i think……and player must have played at least 41 (half the season) or at least 1 game in the final round (different for backups though)

in my opinion seeing as wedgewood did nothing as a 3rd stringer he has no right to a space on the cup…..shit, the training staff and equipment guys deserve a space over him

(and teams can petition in special instances)

There's more at the end LOL! Posting to YouTube. I'll provide the link when it's done.

I posted him skating with the cup above with something else he said in the interview.

Got it! That was it. Doesn't matter where he plays in the future, I'm a fan.

Nice that he alluded to the Devils ("So many people that got me to where I am") a bit, though I'm sure he's thinking of his ex-teammates than John Hynes, I'm sure.

Holy crap.

Again, what a Faery Tail ending that was.

I’m still waiting for these imposters to leave and am awaiting the Florida Panthers entrance to the ice and their lifting of the cup.

There's just something about this series that seems 'meh'. One of the least interesting SCF I can remember

It’s the whole no-fans, in-a-bubble, surreal, neutral city, divorced from real time, arena filled with strange placards and lights, Covid Time effect.

A playoffs on anti depressants I called it. A dulled affect.

But from that point of view, congrats to the NHL just that they made it work and got it done at all. It was good to have hockey, even at that strange remove where the radar blips seem to take ages to come back from outer space.

And not only Pickles but also Maroon on that goal. Two straight cups for Pat Maroon.

Well you just pretty much guaranteed he goes to the Rags now. I hope you’re happy with yourself.

 

[Guttersniped]

Probably because neither of the teams garner much hate from us (aside from the select few here).

I think it helps that one of our former Devils players(and one of the most popular ones) is on one of the teams.

Pens vs Nashville sucked, even Sharks wasn’t a whole lot better. Hell, even watching the Kings whoop the Rags was boring.

The secret is most Cup finals are underwhelming, it’s the Conference finals that are often epic. Perhaps both teams are spent by the forth round and the more talented one just pushes the weaker team down but there’s never seems to be the same incredible back and forth for a whole series. The players are also usually freaking out, you can tell they are wigged out in a way that they aren’t even in Conf finals.

 

[Darkauron]

Just saw they one. So happy for pickles.

 

[MadDevil]

Congrats to Coleman and Maroon. I know he won last year too, but I like the guy and it's kind of cool to see somebody win back to back with different teams.

This. The entire post is spot on.
