27 YEARS SINCE A CANADIAN TEAM WON THE CUP WILL THIS BE THE YEAR (no): THE NHL 2019-2020 THREAD (INCLUDING BLUES HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

He scored one of my favorite goals of all time, but fuck Roenick. He's in the HOF of hockey jerks.

Watching Flyers-Pens. I love hockey.

watching MTL-TOR tonight: the leafs look... okay! the habs look... like they shouldn't be in the play-offs! bring on lafrenière

lotta bad ice, but that’s what you get playing three games a day in august

MTL-PIT game last night was so good, gotta say!

rude

Young, 6'4"+, defensemen who can skate are the best thing ever.

sure but can they ~move the puck~

jesus christ

The way he takes the pass out of mid-air at nearly full speed is insane.

i’ve watched it like two dozen times already

there are some guys that could do the puck juggling — they all have crazy hand-eye

maybe one or two other guys could roof that backhand

absolutely no one else could do all of it at that speed

Sebastian Aho. WOOOOW. Enjoy every angle of this highlight-reel goal from Aho, who strips the puck from Trouba and walks DeAngelo for a goal that puts the Hurricanes up 3-1 on the Rangers in game three. pic.twitter.com/YfGH9VeYVm

I can see the fix is in again to get the Pens the #1 pick.

lol

pens have a) never won a best-of-five series, and b) never beaten the habs in a playoff series. neither of these facts were supposed to be relevant this year but here we are.

also not sure i can recall a pittsburgh athlete as hated by his/her own fans as jack johnson. it’s rough

i defended jack johnson for a season or 2, possibly out of pity for his personal life and terrible family ripping him off, but damn.

good luck pittsburgh (seriously)

Some knowledgeable Canadian hockey fans I interact with online couldn't believe the Penguins signed Jack Johnson to that contract. He might have been overpaid at half that cap hit.

it was a terrible signing, and its been both disastrous and uncharacteristic of the current regime that he's still there and still in the lineup. apparently a very nice guy, tho!

It hurts me to acknowledge that Rutherford has otherwise made some shrewd moves. I will go to my grave not understanding how acquiring Phil Kessel worked.

oh, leafs

Columbus is a team I wouldn't choose for the Flyers to play. They could just run out of steam, but I think they will be a tough out.

awooooo

liking the coyotes even though my heart is full of lobsters

does your heart ever just go

happy birthday, sid

For whatever reason there is an Islanders win meme this year related to the old Nickelodeon sketch, "Court dismissed, bring in the dancing lobsters."

Michael F, are you on the Island?

I live in Boston but I grew up in Queens (Flushing) so my teams have always been orange and blue (Isles/Mets). My parents are out on the island now, thorough.

I've been on the Island since '01 and have been to lots of games at the Colosseum. During those years I always hated the Rangers but never the Islanders.

The Coliseum was definitely a cool place to see a game. I vivid recall the symphony of car horns doing the let’s go islanders chant in the parking lot during some early ‘90s games.

My former company had season tickets in the corner on the end the Islanders attacked twice and there was a famous crusty Islander fan nicknamed "goldilocks" who had season tickets just below. Every game he wore a gold foil wig and a Rangers jersey that he had embroidered "S-U-C-K-S" in the Rangers' font just below the franchise name.

edmonton’s gonna get the top pick for the fifth time in 11 years; i wanna see PBKR complain about *that*

bettman must be choked about these results

Are Ontario golf courses open? Asking for a friends

Lol, mookie. I don't hate the Oil like I do the Pens. Western Conference might as well be the KHL.

We (oilers) can get the #1 pick in perpetuity and we'll still stink

it is pretty remarkable. at least they can't take nail yakupov this time

Just a combination of a shit organisation and a too loyal fanbase (theres no consequence to them sucking, fans will still be loyal and show up, buy merch etc.)

whoa

maffew what have you done

thanks for the notice, i am in bed

that was so epic that they almost have to get blown out on sunday

huh how about that

that was so epic that they almost have to get blown out on sunday

This would be so on-brand for the Leafs.
