Stephen Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 With the Canadian division creating a bit of an interesting dynamic with matchups, it will be kind of weird having two Eastern Conference teams playing each other for the Cup. Haha. For the first time since 1980, we will see two teams from the Eastern Conference play for Lord Stanley's Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Drunkenski Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I wanted Tampa to win this series for obvious reasons but now I want Montreal to win because fuck Cooper and the cap circumvention team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Heaven Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Right! Back in the 70's and 80's you'd have two Eastern teams playing each other in the Final since alignments were different then. This is basically like that, except even weirder because it's the same Division, as you said. This might not happen again unless there's some big realignment in the future. or another pandemic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the difference for a team trading for Marian Hossa or Marian Gaborik and putting them on LTIR? Only difference is that they sucked, got a draft pick, and still are able to sign players to take their spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Thank God Keirik jinxed them. When Tampa was up 2-0 in Game 6 with 6 minutes left in the second, I was thinking that it looked like the Messier called shot game, thankfully, that only almost panned out. If Tampa had blown it after scoring 12 straight goals and up by two, I would have been pushing Jim Jones Koolaid on myself and this whole Board. I've put my hari kari samurai sword away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It would be hilarious if a Canadian team finally won a SC whilst the majority of this country is furiously determining the best way to cancel all Canada Day celebrations and how we should go about disbanding the country. That's something I can root for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Poor excuse of a performance in a do-or-die game. 18 SOG, a PP that resulted in a SHG. No fight, physicality, sense of direction or desperation. After getting this far, the Isles caved. Shades of our brloved NYR in 2014 vs. LA.

Format was you lined everyone in the NHL up 1 through 16 and played it out. Owners wound up not liking that much because of travel expenses, but may be an idea which should come back. The division setup hurts you if you have a great team in your division. As Brooks mentions today, Herb Brooks' Rangers could never get past the Islanders in the early rounds.

siddious Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Gotta continue the streak of keeping the Cup in the U.S. This.

They are born of traitors. The original Islanders fan base were Rangers fans who switched as soon as the Islanders started winning. That's the heredity of their current fans.
