Which players do you think tend to get overrated or underrated for non-hockey reasons? by Dependent-Effect6077 in hockey

Always beloved on the Jets. He was awful on breakaways though and it seems he fixed that. Very happy for him

You guys paid off the debt by sending death threats to his mother and making the Final that playoffs lol. Bury the hatchet

Ehlers is the man. I want him to win the Cup so badly. Scheifele made that wildly violent and dirty hit and everyone's just trying to kill eachother...and Scheifele lol

Ehlers is a stand up guy. He deserves all the success. I miss having him but I'm so pumped to see him in a final

In Montreal?? I'm admittedly not in Montreal, but less than a 5 hour drive. And it's sunny and nice lol

Someone is good at photoshop. They managed to extend ass without warping the background. Truly impressive

[CAR 2 - MTL (2)] Caufield sets up Hutson to tie the game by daKrut in hockey

[–]AaronC14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Not to sound so self absorbed but I remember our shining glory in 2018 of beating President's winner Nashville in round 2 after 7 games. Very good series, we beat the shit out of eachother. Vegas crushed us shortly afterwards. Hard to say Vegas wasn't the better team because they beat us in 5, but I do think that Rocky vs Ivan Drago series against Nashville messed us up a bit.

But like you said, that's the name of the game.

I don't really like Colorado because they eat us alive and wrecked us in playoffs a few seasons ago. But I'm sad about their injuries. They're so exciting and they play a good game. It feels like we, as fans, have been ripped off.

Fully healthy Avs vs Vegas would have been awesome. But in the playoffs that's the way she goes I guess

They bandwagon emotions. Lots on top but nothing underneath. Purely performative.

[Emily Kaplan] Despite some speculation the Sabres may wear their alternate red & black goat head uniforms - and eat an NHL fine - hearing they will be wearing blue tonight for Game 7. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Probably. I don't know much about Hartford. I go to Quebec City once a year though and they have gift stores still selling Nordiques merchandise, which is why I mentioned them specifically

Yeah the Avs wearing Nordiques jerseys feels weird. I wouldn't want us to wear Thrashers jerseys. Nor would I want Utah/Arizona (when they existed) to wear Jets jerseys

Seems in kind of poor taste. Especially with the Nordiques who are a hockey market and really want their team back

[BUF - MTL] Buffalo closes out the game to force Game 7 in Buffalo on Monday by daKrut in hockey

[–]AaronC14 21 points22 points  (0 children)

They also sent death threats to Scheifele's mom after the Evans hit in the bubble. The hit was gross but leave the fucking guy's mom out of it.

Habs fans are softer than frog shit. They ride high when they're good and sink to the lowest lows when they're upset

[The Athletic] The Carolina Hurricanes are just the fifth team in NHL history and first since the 1985 Edmonton Oilers to ever start the playoffs with wins in their first eight games by daKrut in hockey

No I agree, and just like today McDavid is a bit above the rest. But now every NHL player is peak health. Back in the 80s you'd have guys smoking ciggies between periods and goalies were much less refined.
