You can really tell how much fan support they have when 1/3 of their barn was the opposing teams fans in game 7 of the Stanley cup final.

 

[MC74]

McDavid not accepting the Conn Smythe. Don't blame him one bit.

Fans since day 1...2024.

 

[Jon]

The only Panther fans are the dozen in Sunrise. this team is a joke.

 

[MC74]

Damn this moment for the rest of your life.

The million dollar question: How does Edmonton overcome the adversity of losing in the finals? Do they do what's necessary to strengthen the team in the offseason, get themselves back in the dance next year, or will this mark the beginning of the Oilers gradually falling apart?

They have Draisaitl (where the fuck was he this series btw) under contract for one more year, and the vibe I've always felt is he's gonna move on. So next year may be their best shot.

 

[canadaguy]

When do we start fantasy booking Olympic rosters?

 

[Jon]

I wasn't terribly impressed with Skinner in this game. I wasn't able to watch Edmonton much, but I'm not sure he can "steal" a game.

Unless they both take a discount like Crosby & Malkin did (Think the max was like $11M at the time of their renewals?), then yeah, next year is their best shot. After that, who knows, but we have seen many teams who have made the final fall off.

 

[MC74]

In case anyone missed, Frank Seravalli noted that the Leafs have made it know they're not extending Mitch Marner and are looking to get a deal done this week.

 

[canadaguy]

Hoping the Flames are able to draft Tij Iginla, but really doubting he is gonna be available by their turn to pick

Is that Jerome's son?

 

[canadaguy]

Is that Jerome's son?

Sure is!

 

[Jon]

Sure is!

I don't know much of this draft class, but I hope he's a power forward like his dad was!

Iggy was like..... THE power forward.

Also my favorite interview of all time of his

 

[MC74]

Claude Julien to coach the Bs.











.....the Bs as in the Blues of St. Louis.

 

[Jon]

Man when he came to Boston I was happy. I grew up 20 minutes north of Lowell. Love how they never said that was a hockey player from Canada in that interview

So the thing is, the interviewer (and apparently anyone involved in producing the segment) didn't know who he was. He was just a guy who happened to filling up gas in a snow storm.

It wasn't until later that people watched and were like "wait what the fuck"

 

[MC74]

I must say, the Iginla/Nieuwendyk trade was one that worked out for both teams. Calgary got one hell of a player in Iggy and Dallas got a much needed piece for their cup runs in 1999/2000.

I wish I remembered that. I remember the interview, but not the circumstances.

That they did, and it was beautiful

Much like you.

Hey, whoa, this is the hockey thread! Gotta take sappy drama to the NBA thread!

 

[Crystal]

Hey, whoa, this is the hockey thread! Gotta take sappy drama to the NBA thread!

Hey now, two minutes for interference! Don't make me go Glatt!

 

[MC74]

Hey, whoa, this is the hockey thread! Gotta take sappy drama to the NBA thread!

Btw, speaking of NBA, Bronny James went to the Lakers at #55.

 

[Jon]

Hey now, two minutes for interference! Don't make me go Glatt!

What a great movie.

 

[Crystal]

What a great movie.

It really is! Sequel wasn't great, but the first one is just perfection.

 

[Jon]

Of course he did..... >.> Fuck him and his dumbass father.

I don't count the sequel as existing lol

 

[MC74]

You tell him! Us girls deserve to have our moment together.

 

[Crystal]

Good viewpoint to have, lol

It was a joke. You two have all the moments you want or need. I'm here to be the Doug Glatt to your Xavier Laflamme.

And to put on a Dallas Stars jersey in support of us.

 

[Jon]

As soon as the Bruins were out I did! I mean I don't own one, but I made a homemade Mike Modano jersey.

Tij Iginla went to Utah.

 

[Jon]

Let's hope Utah is better run than Arizona.

 

[MC74]

Montreal did well at the draft might I add. Demidov and Hage were excellent picks for them.

 

[Crystal]

I didn't realize how troubled Connolly's past was, now I question the Knights for taking him...

 

[A Baby Maker]

Let's hope Utah is better run than Arizona.

That's a pretty low bar to clear

 

[Jon]

That's a pretty low bar to clear

Let's.... give them time. They brought back the players and the front office. That bar may still be insurmountable to them.

Also, I know NOTHING about who the Bruins drafted. Other than he's some 6'4" center and that alone gives me Joe Thornton vibes.

But this was also their first first rounder in what? 3 years? I won't complain.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

He's 6'7. Comparisons are to Tage Thompson

 

[Jon]

I admittedly have no idea about Tage Thompson either lol

 

[Crystal]

Tage Thompson is like if Chara was a forward instead of a d-man. He can score like crazy and knock you into next Tuesday at the same time. That's who you just drafted.

Yeah, pretty alright.
