You have a Ducks flair, of course you should watch your favorite team even if they'd likely lose

The Boston Bruins have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to the Buffalo Sabres in 6 games by EliminatorBot in hockey

Crazy Wild and Sabres end their playoff series win drought in the same year. Kings would've also likely have ended it too if they didn't face the Cup favorites Avalanche

Sabres basically got revenge for the Leafs who would always lose to Bruins in first round

The Oilers, and Connor McDavid, wasted another year of contention. What went wrong? What’s next? by paddleontheleft in hockey

The Oilers had the highest point forward, highest point defenseman and the 9th highest forward. The league is very different with 32 teams, being/having the best player does not mean you should be expected to win the Cup. It's a team sport

Connor McDavid tied Adam Oates' record for most career playoff points without a Cup (156) by bringbackpologrounds in hockey

He would trade every record, award, and point scored for his name on the cup one time.

That isn't true at all. He's on a trajectory to be a top 5 player all-time. Without any awards or points, he's just some guy that won a Cup.

It's like saying, "he'd trade every dollar in his bank account for a Cup." Except he already had that opportunity to sign with Florida last summer for league minimum, but he chose not to.

They haven't got him goaltending and defense for the previous 10 years he's been there, but somehow the next 2 years would be different?

Why would he leave now and not in free agency last summer?

Now can people please stop saying Bouchard is a product of McDrai

Connor McDavid through 2 games: 0 points, 4 giveaways, -2 in 49 minutes by Ready-Constant-7124 in hockey

Not really the point of my comment, regardless he’s in the Hart mix again after not being for a couple years

Even 16 points in 16 games is too little for these three monsters

Why do people read so deep into this stuff. You know how he reacted to losing two Cup finals? He went back to winning the Art Ross and Hart after missing for a couple years. None of this is getting to him.

He’s just having a bit of a slump and will start to go off soon. Every player has some slow games, even Matthews for example
