Maureen Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 It's that time again with watching multiple hockey games in the evenings. I do have one team that I'm hoping wins because they are way overdue but due to weird sports superstitions, I won't say which team it is, but it's easy enough to guess. I am very happy that the Islanders swept the Penguins more because I dislike the Penguins but also because Eberle is with the Islanders. I am absolutely shocked that the Lightning also got swept. They were the top team this season, winning over 60 games; way above any other team. But as is usually, once the playoffs start the slate is wiped clean and all teams start fresh, so anything goes. I am cheering for the Flames, the Jets and the Maple Leafs because they are all Canadian teams and also the Stars because my husband's cousin's son is on that team. Is anyone else watching the Stanley Cup playoffs? M. Quote
Guest Godless Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 I don't go out of my way to watch hockey, but I'm always happy to see the Caps win. Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted April 18, 2019 Report Posted April 18, 2019 @Maureen-I am stunned (and so is all of Tampa) over what happened to the Lightning! Quote
unixknight Posted April 19, 2019 Report Posted April 19, 2019 I'm always happy to see the Penguins humiliated. Quote

Maureen Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Posted April 21, 2019 The Winnipeg Jets are gone. Only one Canadian team left. M. Quote

Maureen Posted April 23, 2019 Author Report Posted April 23, 2019 The Dallas Stars are moving on to Round 2. Their new opponents are the St. Louis Blues. M. Quote
BeccaKirstyn Posted April 23, 2019 Report Posted April 23, 2019 Golden Knights fan. That game last night was unbearable to watch. Don't think we'll be able to to beat the Sharks in Game 7 in their hometown. So my next team are the Caps. Quote

I watched the Stanley Cup series last year and I gotta say, the Golden Knights home games were a lot of fun to watch. I mean, I know it's Vegas. They really know how to put on a show! Of course, as a Caps fan I wasn't rooting for the GKs but yeah... BeccaKirstyn 1 Quote
Guest MormonGator Posted April 23, 2019 Report Posted April 23, 2019 I'm stuck tonight. As a Montreal fan, I dislike both the Maple Leafs and the Bruins. Can both teams lose tonight? Has that ever happened? Quote

I'll be cheering for the Columbus. 😊 M. Quote

I was so shocked to find out the Sharks won that game with a short handed goal. ETA: And in double OT. M. Edited April 24, 2019 by Maureen Quote

Don't let me down today either 😭 Quote
Guest Godless Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 Caps/Canes game 7 has me pouring the hard stuff tonight... Quote
BeccaKirstyn Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 Dang...not my year for Hockey. Knights lost and Caps lost in game 7. 😒 unixknight 1 Quote
unixknight Posted April 25, 2019 Report Posted April 25, 2019 I was bummed about the Caps, but back to back Stanley Cups is a rare thing. That said, I do wish they'd managed to avoid being eliminated in the very first round. But it is what it is. As for me, for now... GO AVALANCHE! BeccaKirstyn 1 Quote
Maureen Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Posted June 13, 2019 Congratulations St. Louis Blues! They were not the team that I was originally cheering for but I was cheering for them in these final games. This is the Blues first Stanley Cup victory. Yay for the right team winning. M. Quote
Maureen Posted June 14, 2019 Author Report Posted June 14, 2019 This is slightly OT because it doesn't concern hockey but basketball. 😊 Congratulations Toronto Raptors!!!! M. Quote
