Panthers fans got drowned out by fans of a team from another country THREE THOUSAND MILES AWAY. This isn’t like “oh there’s a bunch of Yanks fans at the Rays game because NYers retire to Florida” or even a fanbase like the Steelers, Bills or Red Wings or some shit that’s notoriously well-traveled.
So fucking embarrassing that that franchise won a cup. Their most famous player ever is more well-known for taking a different franchise to the cup!
God I fucking hate Miami sports teams.

Another travesty of justice is fucking Shae Weber — no Norris, no Cup, no Conn Smythe — getting into the hall first-ballot but Mogilny is still out.
Sports suck.

Wayne Gretzky has described the city of Edmonton galvanizing around the Oilers the same as other cities when they host the Olympics, except it lasts the entire season. I'm not surprised they had a ton of fans in the building for a potential cup clinching game, especially when that game is in a destination city.
In principle, I agree that it's dumb there's an NHL team in Miami. It sucks that it seems nobody down there gives a fuck even when they've got a stacked cup winning team. Still, I don't think there are many arenas that wouldn't have been packed with Oilers fans last night.

Im sure there’s plenty of Canadians down there but it’s not like ex NYers or NJ people. At least not in Tampa or Miami.

Patrik Elias is way more deserving that Shea Weber. Also, Mogilny should've been in years ago. I loved Mogilny when was on the Devils in 2000 and 01. Dude was lethal in 2001.

Draisaitl was such a non factor the whole series Would not be surprised seeing a 'playing with ______' injury any day now. He still dominated in FO but yeah, non factor the entire SCF. Panthers winning rocks, especially stoked for Maurice, Bob, Sasha and Forsling. And my +390 futures ticket. This season was great from beginning to end. the EC WC ending was fucking excellent. Myers broke his rib in the second round.

You go to places like Hollywood and they sell La Presse in gas stations, horse tracks are full of French Canadian dudes chain smoking.

Eh, fair. Must be way more syrup swillers than I thought down there.
That said, it’s not like Edmonton is Montreal or Toronto. Or even Vancouver. Them managing to take over a Stanley Cup finals G7 like that is so fucking embarrassing for the Panthers.

Sounds like the Sabres are buying out Jeff Skinner.

Not really understanding the timing of the Skinner buyout. They have ~$24 mil in cap space no? maybe they have a big name RFA due this offseason, but unless they're aiming at Guentzel or a Reinhart/Montour reunion, they could afford to keep him on this year. That $6.5 mil dead cap hit in year three is a bummer.

Would be hilarious if they buy him out and Buffalo makes the playoff next year.

How the fuck do you embed tweets now? You used to be able to just post the link and it automatically did it.

They had some of the worst uniforms in sports so it's definitely an upgrade but IDK why the fuck they wouldn't just go back to the eggplant and jade that everybody loves.

I think they're great but I do agree, they could have just gone back to the eggplant color ones. It seems so fucking weird that the entire hockey world says bring those back and their marketing department just says nah

Ducks sweaters suck but literally anything is better than the previous. They managed to still make black and orange so boring.
Fanatics sweaters going forward, I think it's time to grab some grails instead of anything new.
Also - who we got for Hart/Norris/Rocket Richard/Vezina and Calder y'all?
Also also - odds are out for Draisaitl's next team AN ENTIRE SEASON + TWO OFF SEASONS AWAY. The goddamn Bruins are 3/1 odds, Hawks next favorite at 5/1.

I'm waiting for adidas stuff to go on clearance so I can get my first Canucks jersey in about 15 years, and maybe a Whalers one too.

I'd bet that Disney owns some kind of rights to the eggplant and jade color combo

Quinn Hughes is winning the Norris.
Kucherov is winning the Hart.
Helleybuck probably should win the Vezina but him shitting the bed in the first round like that might hurt him, even if it's not supposed to count.
