The Ditch part deux

what will be sad is that vegas had their best chance this year.

 

The next time they're in the finals, 2077 lol.

 

Why is the Ovenchicken thread locked?

 

lol. Captain Kirk must be pissed?

 

One of our officials had their sense of humor in charge last night.

 

Congrats to the Caps.

I remember watching a pair of shifty Soviets skate for them in the early 90s while my grandmother cheered/hated on them in Kovalev and Bondra.

She'd probably have been a fan of Ovi's, but would have told him to go back to Siberia too.

 

Yeah, but around this time next year -

 

when the clock stopped working late in the 3rd period, I thought bettman pulled the plug and would allow for extra time for the Knights to score. haha.

 

lol

 

funny fake news...

 

Karl Alzner last summer on leaving the Caps to join the Canadiens-

"I want to win, that's the whole point, that's the reason why we all play hockey," Alzner said. "It was frustrating to keep getting stumped in the second round. That's something that I just couldn't really overlook. If there was an option in Washington, yeah, maybe we'd be talking different. No one likes to have to pack up and move. But at the same time, my drive to win is incredibly strong and when I had an opportunity to try and look into the future and see what the future is here, it was just super enticing. I just want that chance to win and I want the chance to bring it to a Canadian city, especially Montreal."

Caps win the Cup, Habs earn the right to pick 3rd in the upcoming draft. ALzner must be stumped by the turn of events.

Here’s to stumping!

 

Any ideas out there on how to keep interest at peak levels nationally, right to the finals?
I just find that interest starts to wane as teams get eliminated. The 4 days off before the start of the finals was a killer for me, then the two days off between games didn't help.

 

Good thing the series was only 5 games. 7 games could've stretched well into July.

 

Crazy

 

Ukrainian women are the best

 

They milked the hell out of it didn't they?

I think the season is already long enough and I suspect if my beloved Red Wings were involved, my interest would have held true. For you, Skinny, a deeper run by Toronto would have been a good dose of medicine for you to, lol.

Vegas and Washington are a good stretch apart and I can understand the days off between games, but I to was ready for a Champ to be crowned. Long season as it is, becomes even longer when teams we have an interest in are not involved.

 

Music to my ears.
