Yeah, I hate the fact that a Florida team is making me root for a New York team. This is the worst timeline.

I think the Rangers are the one NY team it's okay to cheer for, and also the Giants when they're playing dallass.
I’m standing on the Original Six defense for my support of the Rangers at this point.Quote:

I am a lifelong Islander fan, from the Island, and I have rooted for the Rangers since the start of post season as there was no other team I could.
Fixed it for you..Quote:

No no that's why we hate the Avs, they bailed on Quebec.Quote:

edit: I'll grant that Colorado got stolen from before (Rockies-> Devils), I forgot about that, so they may get sort of a pass I guess. We can hate the Devils though.
Kadri out for the series, maybe for the Cup. The AV's to their credit didn't try to retaliate. They left it up to the league to deal with. If the league fails to suspend Kane for the duration it is sending the message that justice is to be handed out on the ice. Maybe that's what the league wants. Seems to be what the fans want.
Money that delivered Stanley Cups within 5 years of moving.. If they had sucked after moving nobody would hate them nearly as much..Quote:

If Tampa Bay wasn't hateable enough for you already, the "Sweet Caroline" after goals should get you there.
Yeah. Just cause they have Fenway South for baseball doesn’t give them the right
And another reason to hate the CAROLINa Hurricanes. They're playing that at home games now too..Quote:

It sucked at Florida State when they thought of it, and now it sucks everywhere else they do it. And yes, "Sweet Caroline" too. Think of your own shit to do, dumbasses.
Nah the theft of the century was the Seahawks stealing "The 12th Man" from Texas A and M University.Quote:

Kadri does a couple dirty hits against Boston that aren't even NEARLY as bad as what Kane just did to him. Yet Kadri gets "4 games" and "rest of series" for his.
What a joke of a league. Parros still mad that a Leaf ended his career.
One game SHOULD be the duration. Edmonton has shown they don't have any defense nor any goaltending to answer the Ave's attack. If Smith can avoid giving up the one to two soft goals a game he's been averaging, maybe the Oiler's make it to 5 games. I doubt it.Quote:

I vividly recall when Cooke played for the Canucks. They were playing Edmonton and an Oiler absolutely crushed him and broke his nose. Over the CBC broadcast you see an Oiler skate bye him while he's lying on the ice with the trainer and yell at him 'take that you piece of shit'. Players know exactly who they're doing these things to and if you think some of them aren't waiting for their opportunity, you're naive.
Well, those hits are why Kadri was traded. Can't have a huge chunk of your offence consistently get suspended.
Those hits though - they're against the Bruins so they're fine. All kidding aside, given the entire context of the games in which they happened, shit was getting out of hand long before them. Totally different than the Kane incident when viewed as a whole, but individually I get how it looks from the highlights.
^^^Definitely a universal NHL exemption for cheap shots (payback) on Marchand...
Bruce Cassidy thrown under the zamboni..
Can’t tell if you’re kidding but that take makes no sense to me.Quote:
