The Sharks basically died for me when they blew that 3 - 0 series lead against the Kings in the first round the year the won the presidents trophy.
That was a serious 'fuck you' moment for me and I've never gotten over it. I refused to get into the whole 'have they finally gotten it together?' shit by the rest of the fanbase who tentatively allowed themselves to hope. Nope, I knew this shit was going to happen.

He's good, but playing for the Oilels should disqualify you from the captaincy. Should've gone to MacKinnon or Ekblad.
>>68190823

Why is Eichel not the second center with Hall and Johnny Hockey? Why is Matthews not centering the fourth line?

Well I still believed until the 3rd period. Also watching their whole team celebrate while penguins fans cheered around me hurt. I've been ready for the shorks to shork bit why did they wait for the cup. Just why guys. Fuck.
>>68190614
There's absolutely no way the penguins lose 3 in a row. Murrays record after defeats is flawless
>tfw feel sad but still a little confident
Even if they don't come back to win the series I like their chances next season
>>68191230
probably because you're acting like a faggot bitch. I don't think fans like you give the players much energy, it is essentially entirely your fault

It was high though.
Now the Ward goal should have been saved. I don't understand Murray. He makes all kinds of great saves all game then boom something just rolls in on him

Tell me how any of the Stars,Blues or Sharks are any good?
Stars - Ranked top 5 in Goals in the season and Bottom 10 in goals against
Blues - Went to 7 games against a regressing Hawks team, 7 games against aforementioned Stars team and Lost to Sharks who are getting BTFO. Their defence is overrated, goaltending is far overrated and offence is inconsistant
Sharks - Easiest route to the finals in the past decade. Kings are regressing, Nashville is probably thr worst of all 16 playoff teams and Blues are weak. Now their getting BTFO by a team thats half players who started the season in the AHL
>>68191906
Capitals
We were literally the best team in the nhl from the time sully took over and had them play the right way. Were too fast. We smother teams with our offensive zone possession. Highly doubt anyone will stop us next year. The only reason we havnt swept anyone this year is that every goalie weve played against stood on their head.
>>68191952
>we
>>68191865
Yep pretty much except Sprong will play fulltime with Crosby and will emerge as the 2nd best player from last year's draft.
>>68191939
>half players who started in the AHL
I honestly don't think people realize this. The pens are about to win the cup with an AHL coach and a bunch of rookies that were just called up from the AHL, including their goalie
Western conference is literally getting shitted on by AHL'ers
>>68191952
Probably should have swept the cup finals tbqhwy. Let game 3 slip away.
You least coast fags are just lucky we sent a choke team this year. It won't be the same next time. Order will be restored

Chill out buddy, as long as your team is good it doesn't matter what conference they're in

>>68191981
>game 3 is the second loss the penguins have had all season after leading through the 2nd period

And while shorter hair makes him look much better, I miss the Jagr vibe with the long hair

If I didnt know who they were, Id think Laine was like 23, the way he carrys himself.
>>68192120
Murray does suck he's just getting carried by his high power team.
Why not instead of a expansion draft, Las Vegas just gets every other pick in the first round of the draft?
>>68192132

Apologize.

Before I was certain Laine was ugliest, but hes certainly looking miles better now than before.

>salty craps fan thinking anyone picked them to win the east
>>68192224
The Sharks were not favored in the first round either. It was only after the Kings had a pretty epic defensive collapse that people started taking San Jose seriously. The odds of them romping the Kings and dodging the Ducks again next season are tough. Thornton will be 37 next playoffs.
>>68192277
The caps were actually favored by "experts" to beat the pongs
Unless we're talking Vegas odds here, in that case Vegas has had the pens winning it all since the beginning yes

>>68192297

>>68192293
I'm saying that it takes a pretty good amount of luck to get this far to begin with. The Kings have earned their two recent cups, 2x champs etc, but they were one Anti Niemi collapse in 2014 from just a 1st round exit. No one would talk about that team then,
Point being, like 7 of the 8 teams in the West could have believably been in the Finals. It just so happens that Burns, Pavs, Jumbo, the gang got going at a good time. But that could have been Kopitar, Doughty and Quick getting hot as well, and no one would have batted an eye.
The Sharks getting back to the Finals next year is arguably more difficult than pulling back from a 3-1 deficit in this one.
