Today was a good day. The Preds were wiped out of contention. SJ/Calgary just got even more interesting. But even more than both of those combined, Anaheim is out. Yes, the trend of last year's champions completely crashing and burning the next year proves true once more. And you know what? Suddenly I feel way better. Before I was filled with /sp/-induced RAAAAAAAGE at almost everything hockey-related, but watching the Ducks fall flat on their fucking faces has just melted it away.

So you know what, CapitalistBastard? Go nuts. Let the Penguins go deep. Hell, Crosby can even have that precious Conn Smythe trophy you insist he oh-so-rightfully deserves after four games against a team who's goalie was the only player who was assed to show up. Will I be pissed off if/when my Wings wind up with a premature exit? Of course I will. But if the Penguins win the Cup, that means that Anaheim/Dallas/some other bumblefuck-sunshine team dosen't. And barring a Detroit cup win, I want the latter to be the case more than anything else in hockey. It's only fitting, after all.

I'm kind of disappointed that the Ducks were eliminated, because I REALLY wanted to see a SJ/Anaheim series.

What other team that's in the playoffs right now besides the Stars are a bumblefuck sunshine team?

OP here. The geography is a little bit misleading but it still leaves the potential for yet ANOTHER SE Division cup win.

So Southeast = Sunshine?

Is Detroit in the western half of the country? Appearently so, because they are in the Western Conference. I used to think they and Columbus were in the Eastern Time Zone, but not according to NHL geography.

Because I obviously don't think that dosen't make a whole lot of sense either, clearly.

Can we all agree that, if your arena can't maintain proper ice, you have no business being home to an NHL team?

Fuck the Islanders.

Some people think everything west of Virginia is the western half of the country.

Wings have one of the best kept Ices. Players love-hate to play there. Love it because the Ice is so nice but hate it because its hard to beat Wings at home.

Dallas is the only sunshine team worth caring about. I wouldn't classify them as "bumblefucks".

I think everyone on /sp/ can agree that Calgary MUST lose tomorrow. Why is this you ask?

Colorado (6)
Calgary (7)

If San Jose wins we get epic fucking Detroit vs Colorado.

Honestly, I'm torn.
If Calgary loses, it's an epic reunion series.
If Calgary wins, I'll be in the city during that round, so I'll be able to watch the fairweather Sea of Red crash and burn on their own ice.

Pens can not win the cup if you value your sanity. Can you imagine the shitstorm that will happen? Minute after minute of OMG THE CROSBYS WIN TEH CUP, instead of "The Penguins". Bettman will come out and literally fellate Crosby as he gives him the trophy.

I hate the Wings for what they did to my Flyers in 97, but I hope they win because of what Buttman did to the octopus tradition. And they pelt that asshole with Octopi when he comes out to present the Wings with the cup.

A) I never said I wouldn't be pissed off if the Pens won the Cup. I'd just much rather FINALLY have a city win the Cup that doesn't consider 'winter' to be a bone-chilling 70 degrees.
B) Wings fans are in a complete uproar over the fines being imposed on Al. There've been a flurry of suggestions, including tying a fake cheque onto an octopus before flinging it onto the ice, or having people swing plush octopi over their heads during home games. If someone isn't being allowed to follow a tradition that's existed well before Bettman's position as commissioner, have several thousand take his place.

Who cares whether or not a city has bumblefuck sunshine

I don't live anywhere or have any association with dallas, but I like their team. I like Turco, I think Ribeiro is a piece of trash but I like how he's suddenly doing alot better, I like Modano, etc... so I like Dallas.

and I know nobody likes to see pucks bouncing around and all the horrid shit that comes with crappy ice but I don't hate the team for it... and I don't care about their fans either

Tampa Bay won the cup and the hockey gods took hockey away for a year. If another southern team wins the cup hockey will be taken away again.
