Death From Above 3,912 Posted May 7, 2018 Canada's team was the Boston Bruins while the Leafs were still in, but they're out now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oyaji 8,398 Posted May 8, 2018 In what way were Boston ever Canada's team? The leafs are the most popular team in the country several times over and are divisional rivals. Vancouver hates them and Montreal fans aren't going to get behind Bahstun either. So that leaves us with Albertans. Hmmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oyaji 8,398 Posted May 8, 2018 I'm still not over 2011, man. And a bunch of my friends are Leafs fans so their pain is still fresh. I really do fucking hate that team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niners Fan in CT 13,628 Posted May 8, 2018 Well it was a good run. Alexander finally gets past the Penguins. He will undoubtedly choke this opportunity away but for now he and the Caps will play on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RIPPA 30,556 Posted May 8, 2018 I can't even to be to describe to someone not from this area how breathlessly over the top the celebration is for just making a conference finals is. I understand WHY it's happening but it is still amusing as fuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death From Above 3,912 Posted May 11, 2018 How Pekka Rinne can wear that suit of medieval breastplate that is like 4 sizes too big and still let in that second goal is beyond me. I have to give their coach credit for saying "no thanks" to more of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dewar 2,215 Posted May 11, 2018 It was probably for the best that I had my bowling league championship tonight, so I was not completely shitting bricks during the hockey game. Jets win, my bowling team wins, and that means $350 in prize money for this guy. Even Ice Cube thinks I had a good day. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oyaji 8,398 Posted May 11, 2018 Congrats Dewar and elizium. That's a long fucking wait to get this far, especially after having to be Eddie Lack & Manitoba Moose fans for so long. I hope the Jets go all the way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elizium 1,739 Posted May 12, 2018 In a result that has surprised literally no one, True North decided to issue free tickets to the street parties to prevent them from being overrun, all 25000 were quickly snapped up and are now showing up online at over $100 a piece. Even though it was supposed to be limited to 8 per person, some people have over 100 they're trying to sell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sabremike 2,513 Posted May 13, 2018 Was that the biggest game in Winnipeg since the 1979 WHA Final? Also does the team/city have possession of the Avco World Cup trophy or did Arizona take it with them when they left town? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a couple versions, one in the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame (that one was always on display at the old arena when the Jets 1.0 were still here) and one in the Hockey Hall of Fame as well, I believe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerva 4,130 Posted May 14, 2018 Is it possible for game 3 and 4 to be played in Tampa? I mean no reason to stop this shocking 2-0 series lead by the Caps by playing at home. Tampa looked so good against Boston and they look so horrible in games 1 and 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
