The natural hatty

Edmonton is pissing away the careers of two of the best offensive players ever.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Over and over again sports just keep on reminding us that Offense sells tickets but Defense wins championships.

Seattle vs Vegas and Florida vs Carolina.

I am curious what the ratings will be. The NHL is not curious. ESPN might not even show it if there's an exciting baseball game on next time.

Yeah, as a casual fan I have little to no interest in watching the playoffs any further with those 4. Seattle is kind of interesting but now that Edmonton is gone none of them are any fun to watch.

I either want a fun favorite or a villain. All those teams register as “meh” in my book. Some a little bit of fun - Canes and Kraken can dial it up.

But they aren’t moving the needle for me. I’ll still watch.

Haven't we suffered enough? Why do people root for villains?

For some reason I was thinking Seattle clinched when I made this post.

Game 7 vs. Dallas is tonight

 

[OHSportsFan]

Heck of a start to game 7 in Dallas. Kraken laying bodies on the line.

Yeah, that's a rough break for the league. I'm kind of "anybody but Vegas." Neither series is/would be sexy, but they both should be entertaining.

 

[OHSportsFan]

May not be a regulation goal tonight. Blocked shots, guys missing the net and some great saves.

No sooner than I post this…1-0 Dallas.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Stars playing the equivalent of Tresselball this 3rd period.

I could barely stomach Tresselball when I had a rooting interest in the team. NHL has got to be loving a Dallas vs Carolina final. Puke.

 

[OHSportsFan]

And Dallas somehow gets a long Krenzel to Jenkins touchdown.

They were punting the puck for 13 minutes that period. It was awful.

 

[NFBuck]

Would've much preferred the Kraken get through. The only team left that plays a reasonably exciting brand of hockey is Florida. Question is, will Carolina fare better than Boston. I suspect we're gonna see a lot of 2-1 type games between VGK/DAL.

 

[NFBuck]

I don't really have a team to root for.

VGK - fucking pet franchise with a bunch of dirtbags. Fuck them.
DAL - haven't liked them since they moved from Minnesota.
FLA - Can't stand bandwagon fanbases winning titles.
CAR - Hartford Whalers forever. Fuck Carolina.

I guess it's really "anybody but Vegas"
