Was hoping Vancouver would win and the stupid Oilers would implode. Inexperience killed the Canucks, they were like a deer in the headlights for the first 2 periods lol.
Canada is undefeated at the WHC, Mangiapane (Canada) and Pospisil (Slovakia) are repping the Flames well (don't think any Flames aside from these 2 are in the tournament). Enjoyable tournament so far, the Czech fans seem quite pumped to have the event there.
Seems like a good trade for both sides, especially New Jersey as they get a decent goalie. Even when Markstrom is off his game, he's still better than NJ's current goalies .Flames get a 1st rounder, it won't be a high 1st round pic, but still first round.
Well, that was quite the nail biter. As Flames fan I was mostly happy with the result. It was won by a team that has never won the cup before, and a side bonus I won't have to listen to my oiler fan co-workers bragging about a Stanley Cup for at least a year. If they can keep the team together they'll win a cup for sure, whether next year or the year after.
There's definitely a little extra pep in my step this morning. Screw Shellbyville and the most obnoxious fanbase in the NHL. Canada's team my ass. They deserve nothing.
