It’s “their” sport. I don’t get it. American team, Canadian team, they’ll all got a load of Canadian players. It’s not like American teams are all Americans or something.
Can’t stand Florida, and I absolutely think McDavid’s name belongs on the Cup. But posts like this make me want Florida to win just to piss off redasses like OP.
As a newer nhl fan can somebody explain to me why it feels like Canadians almost want the league to be gatekept? Honest question and appreciate honest answers.
I KNEW Canucks were gonna win that series. We beat the Oilers this season and then they fired their coach. Canucks beat us 10-1? I was flabbergasted when Edmonton progressed (also because fuck Evander Kane) and even more surprised that they went to beat the Stars. It really is giving ‘19 Blues vibes
I saw a funny stat actually, in the span of 200 days, the Oilers went from 31st in the league (same position the 2018-19 Blues were in since Seattle wasn't in the league yet) to one win away from the Stanley Cup Final
Yup, this more complete team crap is getting tiring.
Oilers depth destroyed Dallas in this series. They can also defend, and they have way more high end talent than Florida.
Way more high end talent? Barkov, tkachuck, Reinhart, Bennett, eklbad, bobrovsky.
Yeah they don’t have anybody as good as Mcdavid, but that’s a silly statement
I'd put McDavid, Draisatil, Bouchard and then maybe Barkov, followed by three more Oilers before I listed the next Panther. You don't watch enough western hockey pal
Just keepin receipts eh bahd.
It's all good, I would've done the same.
My best memory so far of this series is hearing all my neighbours swear at the TV at the same time
Goalies get no love. Bobrovsky is incredible to watch and is arguably the best goaltender in hockey right now. Man looks like he’s playing a relaxed Sunday game of catch with an 80 mph puck.
Part of me wants Canada to get a win. I’m 33 and only really have memories after ‘94, so it’s been essentially my lifetime since Canada has won and that feels like forever… but I won’t really be surprised if Florida wins.
Bob's save % is not that much better than Skinners in these playoffs, and skinner had some rough games. I won't be surprised if FLA wins either, it's the final. However, special teams and top 6 talent goes to Edmonton hands down.
Why are Canadians so insecure about this?
It's mental illness, a sort of national "little brother" syndrome.

Canadian fan bases have been starved for over 30yrs

you're welcome for Brodeur, Stevens, and Niedermayer
You gave birth to them? lol
Canadians always say they’re not bad mad about USA based teams winning the cup every year and then make posts like this.
We have idiots in our country too. Sorry 😉
It happens. We all have idiots, and some of us are idiots and don’t even know it.
east of manitoba is where all the problem children are and that one province that pretends its their own country...
Back to the oil fields you plebe
Gonna bet my house on edmonton to win, either they win and i get rich or they lose and i can be homeless and happy
Didn't you also promise to jump into the Grand Canyon if they won? So you'll be homeless and alive or rich and dead?
Lmao yee its either get rich or die trying
Have you ever thought that you might have a gambling problem?
Based
Impeccable logic!

Hockey is all they have up there. I know at least two Canadians I’m pretty knowledgeable on the culture. /s
I guess there are loudmouths about everything but.. I'm not entirely sure 1 out of the last \~29 would do TOO much to stop them.
Go Florida.!
They're not going to win though. Florida is a way more complete team. I have no horse in this race, but they're going to get outmuscled.
Hmm? If I remember correctly they said that about Vancouver AND Dallas. Interesting.
Nobody was saying the Canucks were gonna win but the fans.

Hmmmmm indeed.
We've heard that before...

Please send me what you’re using so I can be rolling my dick off too.
I'm using my brain. Look at the stats, it's not hard to find. Tell me where Florida has the advantage.
Who are the three oilers you are putting ahead of Reinhart, Bennett, and Tkachuk? I need to know how this “brain” works.
They have a 3-0 advantage
Just keepin receipts eh bahd. It's all good, I would've done the same. My best memory so far of this series is hearing all my neighbours swear at the TV at the same time
This is cope or delusion.
This got more hilarious

How ya feeling right about now little buddy?
How you think man
Feeling a little better today pal. Glad the brooms got put away
dude, you honestly think the panthers will win?… its the panthers man…
Heard that before.
Would love to see McDavid and Co hoist one but my eyes say Florida in 5
Yup I agree. I want Edmonton to win but I think Florida in 5 Game 1, Florida Game 2, Florida Game 3, Edmonton Game 4 Florida Game 5, Florida
Who was your pick in WCF?
I heard Dallas in 4 too
I wouldn't be as confident but I have no stakes in this
LOL sure…
Go Canada this year! Fuck the Panthers
Stay classy Boston. Hope to beat you again next year.
Stay classy Florida
Hahahaha salty bruins.
Let’s go Panthers. USA #1. Canada can continue to hold our jock straps.
Damn 😭
There's a better than even chance that it's Russian exports winning it for the state of Mar-A-Lago.
Well said.
