Stanley Cup! 2025

[Wyldnwoody44]

I love hockey, so I'm not opposed to this going the distance. 

 

If E Kane wasn't on the Oil I would def, hands down, want them to win. Gun to head, I kind of enjoy seeing Canada not have a cup in their own national sport. 

On the converse side, FLA already has theirs, and I want to see that Skinner Smile (Jeff) raising the cup in his first playoffs. 

So I'd say I'm 51/49% in favor of FLA but really can typically watch unbiased, which makes the hockey even better.

I’m okay with either team winning— I like Florida and I really like the way they are built, but I’d be okay with McDavid getting his first Stanley Cup. I was also really happy to see Skinner have a great redemption before getting replaced by Pickard again. 

I just can’t stand when one team is helped along, which is exactly what happened tonight. I mean, you have Bettman saying that McDavid transcends hockey right before the finals starts. He obviously wants McDavid to get at least one Stanley Cup.

I just didn’t see one sided officiating last night. Although, admittedly, I wasn’t watching all that closely. I did see plenty of plays by the panthers that I thought should have been penalties and weren’t.

That's what Florida does and they're masters at it. This is shaping up to be an all-time series.  We'll see where it goes from here. Knobloch seems to have the magic touch. Talk about knowing your team.
