And another Canadian team falls

But not the right one.   Stupid Oilers.

Aren't your kids Oilers fans?

shht!  don't remind him! 

I'll try to watch the Caps tonight.  Maybe we'll get a 7th game (Sorry Valmy).

Leafs will win tonight....then get blown out in Game 7

The Caps blow somebody out in a game 7?

What happens when an stoppable force meets an movable object?

you should stop watching hockey, it's too hard for you.  Go play Mass Effect 2 instead

[HVC]

They put up a good fight and had their chances.

Oh well. "next year." the old Toronto sports fan mantra.

they were actually pretty good until overtime.

Given how dreadful the team has been, I would think that 2016-2017 should be considered a success in Leafs Nation.  No one really expected them to even make the playoffs.

And congrats Valmy.   But a series against the Penguins promises to be a lot tougher.  Still I think out of the remaining non-Canadian, non-Oilers teams (Go Sens!) I'm pulling for Ovi to finally win a Cup.

It's all good.  It will just make the heartbreak more heartbreakier later.

[Ed Anger]

Maybe Ovechkin will cripple Crosby.

I don't like you anymore, sir!   
I'm gonna root for Edmonton and wish them a Stanley cup finals agains the Penguins, just for you!

That is kind of you to say. I really despise the Pens in a very petty and envious way. The Pens have beaten the Caps in eight of their nine playoff matchups. The Caps have, of course, won game 1 in every single one of those series except 2000 and blown two game leads four times. I doubt many clubs have blown that many two game series leads in all their history, much less to just one opponent. The 2009 series was especially shit and there was this very vocal Pens fan on the board I blew up at at the time. I don't remember who that was but definitely not my best moment.

So, yeah, you don't need to tell me this series is going to be tougher. I think CdM will be enjoying this one alot.

Nothing wrong with that.  Where do you think my anti-Oilers feelings come from?

Penguins and Capitals?  Haven't been this jazzed since the Cambodian–Vietnamese War.
