8 ARMS TO HOLD THE STANLEY CUP THE NHL 2021-2022 SEASON THREAD (INCLUDING LIGHTNING HANGOVER AND KRACKEN SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

god cale makar is so good

Yeah, his goal from the other night was tremendous.

Seems like a lot of third-string goalies in use already.

<3 secondary scoring <3

I mean I hate the Pens on a genocidal level but I gotta admit as a vehicle for teaching Rangers fans about heartbreak and loss they're not half bad.

the puck always finds joe pavelsky

welp, abbotsford won't be getting the calder cup. hockey season is pretty much over for me. i might catch a game here and there once we're closer to the NHL finals, though. this sucks because i was planning on going to abby for a game. curse bakersfield!

pretty sure bakersfield has already been cursed by being in bakersfield

these playoffs are hardcore

marchand calling deangelo a racist was honestly great

can’t believe this is only the first round

marchand is the worst but i guess ~maybe~ props

worst hockey player you know makes a great point

Islanders fired Trotz? That seems dumb. I would take him on the Flyers any day though I don't think they are a Trotz away from anything.

Uh, that does not seem like a good idea. I thought Trotz (a likely hall of fame coach) did well to get a winning record out of a group that sustained a 12 game winless streak this season during a large Covid outbreak. Seemed like the players all really respected and liked him too.

lou is 79 and the minimal success he’s had in the salary-cap era has come from scrappy teams that overachieved. he did nothing at the trade deadline except extend old guys. maybe he should look in the mirror

good period imo

an embarrassment of riches

most important panthers goal in 25 years

seriously

need one more

there you go

huge

I was at the game. That goal was a huge bummer.

Happy retirement to Patrick Marleau

btw looooool at pierre mcguire lasting less than a year in ottawa

can't believe that guy was seriously bandied about as a legit executive; only melnyk would hire him

habs win the top pick in the draft

nearly halfway through the game and the leafs have six shots on goal

hugest leafs period since . . . dougie gilmour, probably

great game

Happy retirement, Penguin great Patrick Marleau!

Then There Were Two. That leaves (by my count) Thornton and Chara as the last active NHL players who shared the ice with Gretzky.

Wasnt mike smith coached by gretz *touches nose*

think we've all learned an important lesson tonight: never go up 2-0 or 3-0 on the road

if the oilers lose this -- let alone in six -- that will really be something

Fingers crossed for LA, but leafs game is something else so far

I mean I wld love for any Canadian team to win the cup, but grew up in SoCal so can't not root for my team

Here we go, lol.

One thing I’m not going to miss about this series is opposing teams w identical color schemes.

Go Bolts. Should be a good game 7.

A PLAYOFF GOALIE GOAL BY JOEL HOFER pic.twitter.com/DwkJLCgOFH

my ass literally hurts from clenching watching the Leafs last night.

Diehard fan that I am, I'm giving the Leafs a one-goal deficit--if they fall behind two, I bail.

both the jays and leafs are playing Tampa tonight strangely enough

if they fall behind two, I bail

classic my dad move (and not unwarranted)

you still have to check in in the third to see if they clawed one back tho

I sincerely feel sorry for anyone who lives and dies with this team. My friend's dad turned 90 recently, and he's been swearing off them for 50 years.

CLEM WE'RE TIED UP

NOT ANYMORE

>>I sincerely feel sorry for anyone who lives and dies with this team

they must have the most ironic goal song in the league with "you make my dreams come true" (hall and oates)

fuck

gotta get more than 14 shots in 40 minutes

pucks to the net, good things happen, etc etc
