I have my own petty reasons for not wanting Columbus to win the Cup and that is Ohio went to Trump and gently caress that noise.

And I guess Fartsmell is pro-Trump as well.

I'd be fine with the Jackets winning the Cup. They're not my first choice, but I'd much rather they won the Cup than some teams that will/could get in (Pittsburgh, Chicago, Calgary, Toronto to name a few).

I don't particularly like Orpik. Ovechkin is fine. If he wins, good for him.

Clearly, in order to truly test this, we must all say that our team is going to win the Stanley Cup. This will surely ruin the N/V threads forever, turning it into complete chaos as people only post "THE [my team] ARE GOING TO WIN THE STANLEY CUP", but science dictates this must be done.

Because it's the Blues, Paul Stastny is now listed week-to-week with what is most likely an ankle injury. Luckily their schedule is easy, but this will make squeaking into 3rd in the Central a bit more difficult.

It wasnt that hot. I dont think it ever went higher than 35. Also worth it since I missed the NHL players/cast showing up at some pub at like 1am. I wanted to show Seguin all of DOOMocrats Stars posts so he could watch a fan go from top of the world to suicide watch in the span of a single season. Sometimes in the span of a single game.

Well imagine digging a hole with a shovel in one hand. You can do it, but your agility and strength is going to suck.

Crosby's good enough to make it work anyways.

Crosby saw Matthews do a one-handed tip-in earlier in the season and couldn't rest until he one-upped it

I :toxx:ed to missing the playoffs in 2015 and they won, so did I do it, or did they do it in spite of me? Or does even mentioning it make it impossible?

I'm almost starting to feel as though I'd rather the CBJ run the Metro gauntlet than have to play Toronto/Ottawa/Boston, because they've played some frustrating games against those three this season.

Boston only has 9 games left to the islander's 10, is only up by 2 points, and is 3 games into a losing streak. Are they even going to make the playoffs?

Good news- my town's local access channel, which I stumbled across tonight, has NHL scores (among others) on the bottom of the screen when their placeholder programming is on. :eng101:

Bad news, it said "New York 3 New York 2", which would've been completely useless had I not seen the end of the game myself. :eng99:

The only thing that would make me, as a Habs fan, happier than watching the Leafs eat poo poo and get humiliated in 4 games by the Caps would be watching the Bruins eat poo poo and not even make the playoffs.

So you could say we're in a win-win situation right now.
