You're right. We should just eliminate the other 24 teams and go back to the original 6. That way every year the cup winner will be a great and historic franchise.
Idiot.
Im an idiot because I prefer to see elite teams in the finals and not some team that squeaked into the playoffs and got hot. Okay. Im not sure how you took that as I want to start contracting teams.
remember that time the Blackhawks won the Presidents' Trophy and the Bruins missed winning the Northeast by one point and then basically steamrolled their way through the Eastern Conference from the 4th seed
apparently not
You kind of also said the SCF should be played between two historical franchises. Just pinpointing what caused the reaction.
Think I'll throw in my support for the Bruins. Lukewarm support. Fuck Patrick Kane.
Probably not the right choice of words on my part. I just really dislike Cinderella teams. That was really my main point.
It is pretty awesome that we are going to witness the first Original 6 Cup final in 34 years.
And Patrick Kane is awesome. Im not sure why he's hated so much.
Whole thing got out of hand mainly because you mentioned historic franchises and then cinderella stories.. as if there are no other teams out there, or as if historic franchises and a cinderella team can't be one in the same. (IE: If the Chicago Cubs won the World Series this year)
And idk why Kane gets hate.. misunderstood I suppose. Or his mullet choice.

What's weird is I heard this will be the first time ever the Bruins and Blackhawks meet for the Stanley Cup.
Unless it was a divisions thing, man must they have both sucked in the O6 era. It was a 6 teams league but it seems only Montreal, Toronto and Detroit could bring home the Cup.
I guarantee if the Pens had played Simon Despres and Beau Bennett and taken out slow, shitty players who can't move the puck, they would have won at least two games in that series. Leafs matched up well against the Bruins, especially after inserting Jake Gardiner.
Don't try to out-tough the Bruins, that's a terrible idea.
biggest mistake(s) of this off-season, and the Cup is still in contention
My family in Pittsburgh are going to kill themselves. If you even think the word Fleury around them they get violent.
I like Fleury.
Also this game is ridiculous. Going into 3OT as of this post.
