NHL Playoff Discussion Thread

Pretty impressive win by the Lightning considering the refs refused to call any penalties on the rags, including several obvious interferences. That missed one on Trouba crushing Perry with the puck nowhere near him might be one of the worst missed calls in the playoffs.

Hopefully the ratings are awful for the stanley cup finals and the series ends in a sweep. It's pretty pathetic how scripted the NHL is in wanting their teams to make it to the stanley cup.

Yeah I wont be watching. These leagues need to suffer in the ratings to realize everyone is fed up with their scripted bullshit, but it seems everyone still watches the games their team isnt involved in.

Uhhh, maybe people watch because, not only do they like "their" team, they enjoy the sport itself, especially the playoffs. Let's face it, NHL Stanley Cup hockey is on an entirely different level compared to the regular season, or pretty much that of any other sport, for that matter.

I feel the same way about football...been a Panthers fan since day one, but that doesn't mean I didn't watch other games before we got a team, or that I don't watch other teams' games now. No one can really call themselves a fan of the game if they don't, at least to some degree, appreciate Brady's greatness (regardless of any asterisks one may wish to attach), or the blooming talents of young guns such as Allen, Burrow, and of course, what we've seen from Mahomes. Ditto for other positions, and evolution of the game itself... the positive aspects of it anyway.

Another example. I appreciate a performance of excellence in many forms. Now, toss in a comeback storyline. As for sports, IMO, watching golf is like watching the proverbial paint dry. That said, you can bet your last dollar I caught the final round of the Masters when Tiger made that comeback, and enjoyed every minute of it...but not nearly as much as I did 28-3. The Sound Fx video of those guys mic'd up is downright inspirational.

I’ll watch because there’s nothing else on TV right now, I’m just trying to find something to get me to Panthers and Tar Heels football season. I have Charlotte FC on the weekends but that’s about it.

Me too. Charlotte FC is great. Kind interested in the LIV tour and or course Braves baseball.

    • So we are all supposed to bow now? Or can we wait until after the season?  The fear is not that he would prove me wrong, it is that the people in charge are fooled again and accept subpar results as enough progress to make a new commitment. And of course, we get the same start to next year as this year and the previous two years.  I am not afraid to be wrong. I have consistently said let’s let these games play out.    I am just unwilling to accept one or two nice games a year or three or four and the rest working around him like we have to do, as proof of success.  IOW I am afraid you are wrong to crown him, the FO will be wrong, etc… And screw you too calling people miserable old fugs. 
    • Maybe it depends on how the logo is tweaked.   Kinda looks college-ish    (yes, this is official NFL merch)
    • Okay, whatever. Some people can't resist taking a crap in another man's cleats. Even after the guy set the new franchise record for passing yards in a game, won that game and won it against our division rivals. Yeah, he's still a frog, warts and all. A lot of you are tired of kissing him. A lot of you just keep seeing the frog and want it gone, for your own good reasons. Truth is, though, the franchise is going to keep kissing this frog in hopes of finding a prince through the rest of this season, no matter what happens. We've got Andy Dalton on the bench, just keeping it from flying up in the air and basically no one on the active roster behind him. We have the veritable murderer's row of opponents coming up, including half of the game vs division opponents, including two versus the division leading Bucs. There's really not an easy game ahead of us unless New Orleans decides to pack it in early and just phone in a contractual obligated effort. The only way, the EFFING ONLY WAY, Bryce comes out of this turning into the prince is if he wins four or more of these games and somehow gets the team into the playoffs. And you can read it here, there are a lot of people here who are actually afraid of that because they could be proven wrong about him, that we could be saddled with a QB they don't like because of it.  They'd fuging rather lose games and shorten the season to see Bryce fail, even if it means their team fails. Man, that's fuged up.  Root for the team or go the fug on. If that means you've got to pull for the little guy in the fight, then you  do. Hell, the odds are certainly stacked against him. But it sure would be nice if we hit a patch of magic after years of futility. But you guys would crap on that, too. Miserable old fugs.
