Marchand's tears might've had a touch more meaning if they hadn't been preceded by this eight years earlier:

Not sure how this is any different than Bruins fans except Blues fans don't wear flatcaps I guess.

Also no Cap was as drunk as Brett Hull

Is this really worse than Bruins fans' reaction to Joel Ward eliminating them a few years ago, though?

Duckman2008 posted:

The most boring run that in,dudes going from last place to a Stanley cup win with the starting goalie being a career AHL goalie? Plus things like Gloria, playing for Layla, etc? All 4 division leaders getting knocked out in the first round ?

Plus playoff moments like Maroons OT goal, Gunnerson scoring OT in game 2 of the finals after promising to score while using the urinal next to his coach, Ben Bishop almost stealing a series and then getting knocked out in the last game, the Sharks winning in OT on an illegal hand pass, and the Blues absolutely getting stomped at home I’m game 6 before returning the favor and absolutely crushing game 7 on the road. Oh, and Brad Marchand’s tears ?

I mean, I know I’m biased since I live in St. Louis, but it was pretty memorable to me.

this would be a more compelling comeback if it had taken place sometime in the previous hundred years. or if it were in any way unique to America during that time period. or if it were in the right state.

Carolina's Cup run was one of the most goddamn entertaining ever, the Finals against Edmonton was awesome, and that came immediately after The Series That Tore SAS Apart.

I mean I've never given a poo poo about any of the teams involved but the '06 playoffs were awesome.

e: also I don't know how anyone can forget how Brind'Amour got sick of listening to Bettman yammer after about 10 seconds and just loving yanked the Cup away from him and took off with it :allears:

LA's second Cup run had maybe the best playoff series of the decade, so it's got that going for it.

Spelling Mitsake posted:

It gifted us The Series that Tore SAS Apart, "redneck hockey," "Ward Saves Goals but Jesus Saves Souls," jedimastafez thinking Cam Ward was black, Fernando Pisani's game 5 OT shorthanded goal, and Marc-Andre Bergeron assassinating Dwayne Roloson leading to Ty Conklin loving up game 1.

e: Canes-Sabres was also a big contributor to the eventual Vote For Rory thing, which led to SAS forcing the NHL to both (a) rig its all star vote and then (b) completely change the all star format after Bettman apparently learned the lesson "actually the fans want Yannick Pereault."

If there are no playoffs does that mean VAN would have to give up their 2021 1st to TB while picking in the 20s with their 2020 1st?

(I figured VAN would have the choice to defer but capfriendly says this: *Conditions: If the Canucks do not make the playoffs in 2019-20, the 2020 1st round pick will transfer to a 2021 1st round pick instead.)

Eric the Mauve

Yeah the same thing is up in the air with the Zucker trade. I assume there being no playoffs = Penguins were not in the playoffs = they keep their 2020 1st and Minnesota gets their 2021 1st. But maybe not because they were in a playoff seed when the season was called off? I doubt there's language in those deals that deals with the question of what if there are no playoffs.

I think a lot more people remember this one because it was the first final in 2 years, and also it was actually a pretty entertaining final. It ended up being the 1st time in the NHL history that both finals teams failed to make the playoffs the next year.
I just remember how Wings fans wanted to get Roloson from Edmonton lol
