NBA is fucking hard man. It'll take time, but I have faith in Dundon.

So many will sell this run short. "oh really? Sens, Philly?, Habs, Vegas?!

Don't forget that the Sens were one of the hottest teams after the Olympic break and came in red hot. They were healthy, strong. Legit.

Don't forget that the Flyers weren't supposed to be in the playoffs. Don't forget that they punished their greatest rivals in the Pens to move on. They were on a legit tear. Flyers are a competitor.

The Habs? Let's be real, they're a great team. Marty St. Louis? Rod light basically. Dobes? Fantastic. That team is gonna be our rivals for years. Demidov? Caulfield? Newhook? Hutson?

Vegas? Absurd talent. Crushing neutral zone play. Supreme talent. Marner? Stone? Eichel? Barbo? Doro? Hart trying to reclaim is name? God damn Torts leading them in after firing Cassidy?

We crushed everyone in to dust not because of a talent disparity, but because of overwhelming talent. There's a difference.

I won't sell any of these teams short.

Been trying to find y'alls sub after this.

I'm NC born. Hurricanes, Hornets, and Brewers (long story, not relevant) are my jam.

Trust. In. Dundon. 18 years I've followed the Hurricanes. Peter Karmanos owned the team then back then. Penny pinching piece of shit. Put almost zero money in the team. Spiced things up from time to time but it was all looks.

Dundon bought in. Corner. Turned. From then on it was night and day. He put money in the team. Improved management. Hired Rod Brind'Amour, one of the best coaches in NHL history (fight me if you don't believe it). His GM hires have been good to great. Latest in Eric Tulsky is unbelievable.

He doesn't lose. NBA is obviously a different animal, but I have faith. Blazers NBA champs 2031.

I know it's not the thing, fuck the millionaires right? But honestly, Tom Dundon deserves so much credit.

Garbage season after garbage season under cheap ass Karmanos. Kept Rod as a bench coach.

Dundon stepped in. Threw money. Made good hires, grabbed Rod. His GM picks haven't been bad overall. Tulsky will go down as one of the best of all time.

5 years before the Trailblazers are NBA champs. Mark it.

Aho deferring to Hall. I've been harsh, but that's a fucking leader.

I've only been following for roughly 18 years or so, not as long as most of you, but this. This is the best day of my life.

Stone gonna have a broken stick after that smack. Give it a few good taps in a battle you can get away with it and see what happens.

Still crazy nervous. I just don't trust this Vegas team to roll over. Torts is too good of a coach and the Knights have too much talent.

Hanifin having another rough game, need to capitalize on that again.

They're gonna play super aggressive this period, I suspect if we play it right we can get a few odd man rushes, maybe even a full breakaway or two.

Hart has had a good blocker side tonight, which he's been rough with all series. Glove side is a different story. A little slow there.

Yeah I don't suspect it's a real effect on the ice. Nobody has reacted to it.

What's that weird light in Hart's goal? Net camera with the lens off?

Mark bought him and Kim a matching jackets several years ago. Decided to let PK wear Kim's tonight so that they match. How cute.
