Two Putin Boosters on the Potomac; One has a Stanley Cup: THE NHL 2018-2019 THREAD (INCLUDING CAPS HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

The system works.

if columbus or colorado wins their next series I think it will be the first time, under the new playoff and division system, that a team wins a division it isn't part of

what kind of lead are we expecting the leafs to blow tonight

idk how that got in

rip jake gardiner

NO ONE WANTS THIS

insane back to back . Bs scrambling

welp

at least the leafs didn't have to worry about blowing any leads this time

Something less than a whimper.

o canada
no second round for you

tbh it was probably my fault; i was doing dishes when tavares scored but was watching for all the boston goals

Old ILX posts that haunt you: Clemenza retweeting God's blaming a Leafs defeat on a Ford brother

Honest to god, I don't remember that...wondering if that was someone else (I rarely post on the hockey thread).

that was . . . quite a third period in SJ

Per @EliasSports, #SJSharks 2nd team in Stanley Cup Playoff history to score 4 power play goals in under a 5-minute span (Blues, Game 3, 1998 West QF at Kings). #VGKvsSJS #StanleyCup #NHLStats

God help me am I pulling for old man thornton

i think i might have to root for . . . the blues?

idk, maybe i'll hate them once i actually start watching them

The blues ran Jamie storr in like 1997 I don’t root for the blues

potvin sucks

He truly does

mmm, tense

what is pat lafontaine doing right now

justin williams, man

love him for inventing the storm surge and contributing to don cherry's eventual aneurysm

Oh, Caps

wild cards 4, division winners 0

barry trotz 1, capitals 0

i guess the bruins are the favorites now? which means they'll probably get swept by lumbus

if the islanders lose any home games, i will totally be blaming their choice to play at barclays (even though that's bullshit)

this fucking guy

Marchand called Harrington punch “unnecessary” but doesn’t regret it. “It’s playoff hockey,” and he said DeBrusk was taking punches from two CBJs

could this be the year for the blues??

i don't know because i didn't watch for the rest of the season

they seem good

This was sent to me from the stands - this fight escalates ... all between Bruins fans. pic.twitter.com/XPHEwdEBVF

YOU HATE TO SEE IT

fuckin intense

love too decide championships on puck-over-the-glass penalties

mmm what a shame

was rooting for stl bc theyve never won and their goalie played for my ahl blues affiliate this year so it was as close to a hometown win as possible.

I remember the Red Berenson years...Good job, St. Louis; good omen for the Raptors.

wild how the blues went to three straight finals in their first three years 50 years ago and then never again until now.

I am glad the Bruins did not win, especially Brad Marchand.

It was funny how the bruins fans booed throughout the whole closing ceremony

It was a great game.

As classless as Bruins fans are, I think they were booing Bettman.

love how marchand blew it
