Last season, yeah, I believe so. The President's Cup is a curse, lol. Boston had the best overall record this year and they're out.

I hope that punch in the mouth the Lightning took was about being far more tired than Dallas with just the single day off.

Vasilevsky, the alleged best goaltender in hockey (which I usually agree with) got flat out outplayed by Khudobin. That 3rd goal was SOFT

Congratulations man. I bet there was a lot of celebrating in Tampa Bay last night, and I'm sure the party will continue through the week. I think the drinking beer out of the cup tradition might be frowned upon due to the pandemic, which is a bummer. I think the guys will get creative though.

Thanks. Sitting through that game, until the 2nd goal at least, felt a lot like '04 except it wasn't a game 7. And I did not want a game 7 for that reason. If Dallas had won 3 in a row? Dont want to think about that.

I wondered about the covid effects when the Cup was passed around but every single person that held it, kissed it. But then again, why not? They've ALL passed the tests, not a single positive for the entire NHL bubble as I understand it.

Edit: Actually, Dallas would've won 2 in a row if they'd forced game 7. That's more momentum than I'd have wanted to face.

Oof. NHL going full on Euro professional soccer league with the naming rights of the divisions and the ads located on helmets.

Scotia NHL North Division, Honda NHL West Division, Discover NHL Central Division and the MassMutual NHL East Division

Suck it bitches! Colorado Avs go into the playoffs with the best record. Lord Stanley's Cup here we come! Aww man, I think I just may have jinxed the team.

@Gintokian ? You still come to the malazanempire forum? This thread should be updated to reflect the current season or maybe can start a new one?

Careful gloating about the President's Cup! It burned TB a couple years ago and it didn't help Boston last year.

But that was a nice win last night.

[Malankazooie]

Nice sweep. Hope they keep it giong. Wouldn't that be something if the Avs won the Stanley Cup and the Nuggets won the NBA championship? No way the Nuggets are taking it, but a guy can dream.

And the Broncos with Aaron Rodgers get the Lombardi! Oh wait, you're a Pittsburgh fan. How did that happen anyway? Originally from Pittsburgh?

[Malankazooie]

Dad.

Grew up and worked a farm in western Pennsylvania, just outside Pittsburgh, and is a Steelers fanatic (hard not to be when the team was a 70s dynasty). So they've always been my NFL team. Broncos are a close second though. So I would definitely be jazzed if Rodgers came to the Broncos and lead them to the Super Bowl.

[paran falcon]

Makes perfect sense.

That was an impressive win last night. Looks like things are going to get very chippy going forward...

The Lightning stole a great win at Carolina. Outstanding goaltending.

[Malankazooie]

Yeah, that was drubbing. Agree that things will get chippy. Avs are more of a finesse team and have been impressive with movement and speed on the ice. I can see Vegas getting more physical to get them off their pacing.

Man, what about that NY Islanders vs Boston Bruins series. That's a lot of history on ice right there.

My best friend is a die-hard Leafs fan, and for YEARS I have wondered why anyone would continuously punish themselves like that. It's sadistic at this point. They ALWAYS choke. Always always always.

They are from my city and I have never been able to be a fan because they suck. I'm not a sports guy, but they still suck.

Seven straight wins and 400+ minutes of never being behind?! That's a team on fire if I've ever seen one. Will that end with the wait for the next opponent, is the question now.

Monday result TBL 8 - NYI 0
Tuesday result MTL 4 - VGK 1

What the hell? Are the goalies naked and tending goal with their Canadian bacon?

AS THEY SHOULD

[paran falcon]

Lightning blew their chance to eliminate the Islanders after being up 2 goals. NY tried to beat the shit out of TB and got away with quite a bit. The Lightning better be prepared to do the same tomorrow night.

[Malankazooie]

Dang @paran falcon, can your city slow its roll and let the rest of us get our beaks wet? Stanley Cup 2020 - Lombardi Trophy 2021 - and now possibly Stanley Cup 2021.

I may be wrong, but the this championship series could be the farthest distance between the two contenders. Travel is going to be wearisome. Same time zone though, so jet lag shouldn't factor in.

[paran falcon]

Tampa Bay sports are in a great place right now, its true. Its a shame the Rays probably don't have enough to win the W.S. though they made a good run last year. I'll settle for a shot at 2 trophies by 2 of my teams in back to back years. The Lightning have their work cut out for them. Montreal is rolling strong right now.

[Malankazooie]

Some interesting match-ups on both sides.
