We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.

I would like the Sharks to win the Stanley Cup. Definitely the best remaining SAS fanbase and also Joe Thornton seems like a swell dude to hang out with.

Also I really like Joel Ward mainly because he made the entire city of Boston call him bad names and he just shrugged it off and said "I make millions of dollars shooting a little disc into a rectangular target while on ice." That's a winner in life IMO.

Dang, RIP Blues. Couldn't stay out of penalty trouble, couldn't kill penalties, and hit the post a couple times in the third. Tarasenko also looked pretty much lost and defeated out there on most of his shifts, which I know isn't super fair to him since he's obviously the number one target to neutralize but it would be nice if he could overcome that and produce in game 6.

They are far from done. This is seriously one of the best Blues rosters theyve ever had and have proven that they can bounce back after a bad loss at least once in each series so far.

That said I hope they lose because St.Louis fans are jerks. Except for you and bewbies. Id go watch a hockey game with you two. Even a Blues game.

I'll be honest, I'd rather be the superpowered hatechild of Goatman Sacks and Mike V and have the Blues win than have to watch the Blues lose in depressing fashion but be the Blues poster people like. It's just often not worth it to post mean things except to diss Veskit for that one post he made before the series began.

Brouwer made SportsCenters top 10 with his Bat Goal. Number 1 actually. So that's that.




Edit: NBA has more Canadian teams in their playoffs than the NHL has in theirs by a factor of funnysportsthings

The first was ridiculous puck luck and the 2nd was a combined meltdown of league's two worst goalies.

If you want another reason to cheer for the sharks, Brent burns was pretty central to some of the good John Scott stuff that happened at the ASG (some choice tweets, The Pass, The Hoist) but if you knew anything about anything you'd be cheering Burns anyway.

If it makes you feel better, the salt train of Chicago posters and the "I've never seen you cheering for them before" Pens posters have been worse.
Whoever wins in the west is the team I want winning the cup. The Blues are due, and the Sharks are just cool.

I'm really happy with this Sharks team except for Polak. I'm happy the Blues scored on that PP and SJ was able to win despite it.

A little confused about the bolded part since most Hawks fans here were expecting to lose the series to begin with and were happy to just drag it to 7 games. I think Stars fans felt the same way. :shrug:

There have been a bunch of BHawks fans making GBS threads on the Blues just mercilessly, often for really no reason. I don't even think it's because the Blues beat them, more just because they hate the Blues.
They come across as megasalty and their posts are p bad.

Anyway I like to think that BHAS is full of mostly cool dudes who have just settled into not really being offensive in any way. I think a lot of that this year is thanks to all the Kane poo poo.

Really the only standout we have as far as homers go is Kevo :v:

This is the opposite of "salty", which is about being an incredibly sore loser. The only guy I can think of in the NHL section of SAS that could be described as "megasalty" is that one LA fan

You have it correct: We (or, well, I at least) just dislike the blues a bunch in general, ain't got nothing to do with the better team winning the first round series between Chicago and St. Louis.

Feel free; there's a heavy dose of bias in what I'm saying, but there are more BHawks fans posting in GDTs than there were Bruins fans last year.

By an large BHAS is one of the more chill groups. The Kane thing was bad from all sides, and the Blues hateboner is annoying to trudge through but it's still better than Mook. Or the Pens bandwagon.
