When the Stanley Cup finals started I was for Edmonton because it's been so long since a Canadian team has won the cup, and hell no Florida team should be better than a Canadian team at hockey.
Then Florida went up 3-0 and it was all but over. But Edmonton has done the rare thing of winning three in a row of their own and forcing a game seven. Hasn't happened since 1945.
Go Oilers.
Plus oilers chick! NSWF

Hockey don't belong in Florida. God bless oilers tits girl.
I mean, my God. How any man can be ghey is beyond me.
It blows my mind how one internet moment can make someone famous or rich. That cash me outside girl is worth millions.
Nothing like a game 7 for the cup! What a start 1-1
Panthers needed that quick start but keep giving up breakaways, most of them due to Ekblad. He's had a terrible playoffs.
LET'S GO PANTHERS!!
LET'S GO PANTHERS!!
Woooooohooooooo!!!!!!!!!
That was a really good series.

When I looked at the video thumbnail,my first thought was how much it reminded me of letterkenney just from how they were sitting there. Too funny that it's actually from the creators.
I didn't realize that the guy who plays Hitchcock is a former NHL player.

Hockey is too stressful for me. This U.S.A. Canada game is entertaining.
Yeah, three fights in the first nine seconds kinda set a tone.
This has playoff intensity.

Great game.

This is a huge deal.
Through the entire game it just felt like Canada was going to equalize and even take the lead. They spent a lot of time on our side of the ice.

I wouldn't put this tournament on the same level as the Olympics, but it definitely is greater than the World's. I also think the back to back gold in the U20's crushed Canada's soul more than this. That said, I liked the way our blueline shut them down after that first goal. Canada needs a better goalie. Still got to win another one.

Yeah, this one just has no history.
But there is evidence of rivalry and bad blood from seeing each other so frequently during the season, which is all it needs to succeed. I'm guessing guys from the countries not competing will be champing at the bit to get their turn.
I love it.
I watched a video montage of the sequence of booing, puck drop and then the fights with Freebird playing. Thats the best video I've seen using Freebird since a video I saw a couple of years ago with a dude doing like 150 mph in a flatbottom boat being filmed from an airplane.
I believe the U20 team started using Freebird at the tournament in Sweden last year and again this year. I'm glad 4N team is using it because I'm sure it annoys other teams. Hopefully they keep it.
That game was awesome. I went down the rabbit hole of NHL best fights. I recommend.
Oh, and fuck Canada.

Can you post the video?
I've never understood why southerners don't like hockey more.
Canadians boo the anthem, so we start three fights in the first nine seconds. That should garner some support.

Everyone should be watching hockey tonight.

That goal was like hitting a half court hook shot during a basketball game. Long distance past and through about 8 players.

Matthew Tkachuk was so fired up during the anthem. That was cool and makes me dislike him a little less.
Seeing McAvoy break down in the locker room almost made me tear up.
This really matters to these guys!
Big hockey games rule!
Crazy to think we saw the Stars pop Binnington in person a couple weeks ago.
It is getting chippy!!
Damn, make that shot while facing the power play and the roof would have come off the arena.
I don't know shit about Hockey, but it has to be the most edge of your seat viewing experience in sports. This shit is intense.
That defensive play by Slavin was one the best I've ever seen.
Wasted by a bad turnover shortly after.
Oh well, it is a great game.
I only know about 5 rules for hockey, but I've got my wife interested so I'm trying to help her understand a little better.

I will always maintain it's THE most stressful, simply because it's so unpredictable when the puck is going to wind up in the back of the net.
And the non-stop action. It's possibly the best of all sports.
I've watched two hockey games in my life. These two US vs Canada games. Think I've missed out for 40+ years.
Seems like the puck is always on our end of the rink. Shit.

I've been texting with a friend and I told him the same thing. Seems like Canada lived on our side of the ice for the first two periods. Third seems to be shifting to our side though.

There are actual hookers working at the Blues games.
My buddies when I was in Washington all tried to get me into it. It didn't work out very well but I can confirm that it's a fun game to watch live.

Free hockey!
Extra innings! Ugh. This is too much.
These damn late starts on the east coast are killing me.
Damn that video's got me ready go to fight a polar bear
They bring shame on us all.
Canada's goalie should be declared a national treasure for them.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Fucking hell.
So often the way it happens in OT, the dominant team doesn't win because one goalie plays out of his mind.
You just knew it was going to happen. Seems like we deserve a third game. It's 1-1.
Great game
I think hockey would be improved if they eliminated the goalie and made "no defensive players in this area" semi circle around the goal.
Same for futbol.
19-18 games would be sweet.

The rest of the NHL better step it up if they want to wrestle the cup away from South Florida. The Panthers looked really strong all series against Tampa.
That whole thing was about to tilt toward the Lightning in game 4 when they scored 2 goals in 11 seconds. They were juiced and could have used that momentum to tie the series. And then incredibly, the Panthers did the exact same shortly after.
Wow, the Stars with one of the most incredible comebacks of all time.
What a game.
Yeah that was fun.
Blues Game 7 coming up tonight. The home team has each won three, so I'm hoping the trend is not Winnipeg's friend tonight.
Oh. My. God.
That's certainly the latest desperation goal I've ever seen.
Holy sheet

Quote from: Show-Me Hog on May 04, 2025, 08:45 PMIt feels very Razorback-y.
But now that you've made it past the momentum boost, I expect to see a Blues win.
Dammit
The goal with 1 second left was foul pop up bad, except it was just round one.
But it definitely falls into the "that should never happen" category.
Yikes sorry to see that result, although it's hard to dislike Winnipeg. I couldn't stay up that late.
If the Blues had only skated the puck once or twice rather than trying empty net shots from three-quarter ice.
There should be some epic second round matchups.
Edmonton and Dallas with an intense first period of their first game. I want the winner of this to win it all.
- a Canadian team should win the NHL again
- if not, I like Dallas ok
- but certainly not fucking Florida
Yes, what a comeback by the Stars tonight.
Anyone but the Panthers. I should root for them as my local team, but just can't with their thugs and because they keep beating my Bruins. The Bruins have far bigger problems now, but those wounds are still fresh.
Welp, I'll say it again. Somebody better do something but we're running out of candidates.
They are rolling.
Carolina should be forced to fold the franchise.
This will be FIFTEEN straight losses in the conference finals. It will be 16 on Monday.
IMG_4725.gif
Shit. Dallas, down 3-1 to Edmonton in a must win game tonight to stay alive.
They promptly give up 3 first period goals on 4 shots. Down 0-3 with an anemic offense means it's pretty much over.
Talk about spitting the bit.
Yeah, they found a bit of energy the latter half of the period, but in an elimination game they need more balls to the wall.
It's hard to see them scoring three MORE.
Well, they scored two more.
Too bad they actually needed six more.
Now watch, the Finals will all be 1-0 and 2-1 games.
Tonight is gonna be a scrap. A brawl may break out,
Panthers just injuries the oilers goalie and Edmonton wants blood.
Tied 2-2 in game 2 in the 1st
Yeah it's a good one and gonna be a good one. Florida with the shorthanded goal to go up 4-3 in the 2nd.
The Panthers have this series measured. They understand winning one of the first two as the road team like few others do. The script is getting flipped.
Paul Maurice is a mad genius.
EDIT: Oops, I spoke too soon.
What a game tonight, unreal drama
Damn what a hockey game and it's not over.
Florida jumps to 3-0 lead and the whole series looks like it's over because they were dominant the first period.
Edmonton changed goalies and crawls all the way ahead 4-3 in the 3rd.
Florida pulls the goalie and ties the game with 20 seconds left. Headed to overtime.
Edmonton better pull this out because 1-3 is not where you want to be against the defending champs.
I didn't stay up for it but the Oilers won. Series tied 2-2. I'm not a huge hockey fan but been to a couple of games. It is awesome in person. Hopefully we get a game 7.
It's been a good series so far.
