Stanley Cup! 2025

[K012010]

Seriously though how do you come back from back to back Stanley Cup losses?

Dudes work so hard to win this.   Awesome regardless who it is.

They will get back way before the team that hasn’t won a playoff series in nearly 20 years. That’s for sure.

I saw Samoskevich, Megna, Boqvist. But not Asplund. I feel saddened. One more Sabre was needed.

Us or Toronto?

It’s dumb how there was no penalties all game, like they didn’t stop taking them in the 6th game lol. NHL officiating is so weird. 

but, fun to see the Canadian drought continue. Florida is a wagon

Maybe McDavid will see the writing on the wall and sign somewhere else after his contract expires. They won’t win until they get better depth players

Social media is not being kind to McDavid.

You're really asking this on a hockey board for a team based in the same city as the Buffalo Bills?  (Well, same county.  And OP is close enough for gubmint work.)

Maybe the least entertaining Stanley Cup final I've seen in some time. Congrats to the panthers though, they make everyone look like crap.

I meant how do you do it successfully?

Well, what better place to come to than a team with all depth players like us?!

It’s a nice way to do it this second year. Samoskevich is going to be good, too. They won’t fade soon.

Sam Reinhart with 4 goals. Can I just be done with the Sabres?

Good on Bob! A nice Catholic boy.

Always fun to watch them skate it. Despite the frustration and envy.

Watching it on TV doesn't do it justice.  That friggin' trophy is SOOOOOOOO polished it LITERALLY seems to glow reflecting the lights in the building.  THAT is truly amazing to see in person.

F***!!!!!!

Tkachuk tore the adductor off the bone and also had a hernia on the same side.

And he still played.  And played well.

It is absolutely AMAZING how tough these guys are.

HE should've been OUR GM.  Fack.

[Big Guava]

Well I guess Sam Reinhart is kinda way better than we thought and comes to play in the biggest moments.

McDavid can't get over the hump with FLA...🤔

McAllen? 

Totally unfair comparison 

 

Allen = money in pressure situations 

 

McJesus = uninspiring 

 

It's not Josh's fault that McBeane are wasting his prime with poorly spent FA money AND wiffed on fraft picks for a, supposed, defensive "genius" and his defense, which consistently comes up short when it really counts
