Lose to Las Vegas and lose your division: THE NHL 2017-2018 THREAD (INCLUDING THE COYOTES SOMEHOW, PITTSBURGH HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

isn't biscuit specifically for off-ice plastic pucks?

also go Jets woo

Chiclets are teeth, as in knocked out teeth.

The Canadian dude who does Caps TV play-by-play says Biscuit In The Basket all the time.

Knights/Sharks has been pretty wild so far. Not a big hockey guy but I've been digging this series a lot. This is my favorite Sharks roster in a long time.

I can’t tell which is better Las Vegas winning or sharks losing to las vegas

I know a lot of people either love or hate Ray Hudson but this is genius.

home ice is for suckas, i guess

what a world

frustrating series, jets were so close each game and couldn't put any real pressure on late

vegas has lost three games in three rounds

Was hoping the Jets had enough gas to put up a better fight, but I'm happy for the GKs. What a wild year and playoffs. What hockey person, regardless of loyalties, could ever be disappointed in that run? Rooting for the West in the final.

This from Deadspin writer. Lack of superstition is refreshing. Just do the damn thing.

When it came time to accept the Campbell Bowl as West champions, the Knights don’t have a captain, so they sent out veteran Deryk Engelland. Without a moment’s hesitation, he grabbed the damn thing, eliciting a gasp from the Winnipeg crowd: There’s a superstition among some hockey players that you’re not supposed to touch the conference trophy, or you won’t win the big hardware. It’s obviously bull. Engelland said they had been encouraged by Fleury to touch the bowl, because, as Fleury noted, Sidney Crosby always does and together they won three Stanley Cups. “We talked about [touching the trophy] beforehand as a team,” Marchessault revealed. “We went against the odds all year.

If TB make it, there'll be two players on the ice that have a shot at a personal three-peat, which is cool. Fleury, Kunitz. Ole Reavsey would have to settle for personal two-peat.

reavsey was in st louis last year

actually crosby did *not* pick up the prince of wales trophy in '08, and they went on to lose to the red wings. after that, he did. lemieux hoisted it both times iirc

so, y'all gonna change the thread title or what

nm you're right, mookieproof. had it in my head reaves came over mid-season but no.

tbf everyone vegas has beaten did in fact lose their division

yeah where's the lie

75yo lou lamoriello to the islanders

The Caps are cursed.

Don’t know if I can handle ovi in a MAGA hat holding the cup

i may never forgive stevie y for this

i dont like hockey but dc versus vegas seems like a cool final idk

no.

can’t blv it. Been going to caps games since the days before they had ever made the playoffs. How have he not found a way to fuck this year up?? Must have something big in mind for the finals.

clearly some kind of hex was placed on the posts behind holtby. all the near-misses in the first 2 periods wore the lightning the fuck out.

monday they face a buncha ex-penguins haha. we'll see!

mookie high on the lemieux crosby lyfe

i’m glad it’s two franchises that never won the cup, a whole bunch of likeable players on both sides.

o ya vegas has struggled for so long

I forgot Caps had made Stanley Cup final once before, in 1998 (where they were swept by the Red Wings)

olie kolzig and peter bondra haven't forgotten

i mean i'm for vegas if only because it might force the other 29 GMs to just throw the book out of the window and stop it with the old hockey clichés.

hah -- it would do just the opposite. 'look at this team -- no stars, don't even have a captain, just hard work and a will to win' etc etc

i want vegas to win because i live in vancouver but am not a vancouver fan and the canucks have never won and a club in its first season winning is going to upset people

ie i am a dick/troll

That was me for years when I lived in Chicago.
