MTH Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 I do wonder how the Canadian teams will do in a full house. That said, watching the Canadian games on tv sucks without fans there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksork Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Need clarification, your family says "Fuck Tampa", "All my homies hate Tampa" or "Homies help homies"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Man, watching Boston fans cry foul about reffing and how classless Islander fans are for booing one of their injured payers is a rip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn97tELtNTI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The homies help homies line. The adults are still sad at Tampa for that loss in the 2002 NFC Championship game. The final Eagles game at the Vet... So F Tampa too. ha ha Edited June 10, 2021 by MTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so awkward. Even the moderator was stunned and she just moved right along to the next question. Such a weird moment.

The Habs might lose to the Knights, but it would have fuck all to do with a bunch of people who think they’re taking in a Vegas show off the strip. Want glitz and dancing girls? Go to a casino. Another possibility is that Price bests Fleury (if you heard that story about that one person in the world who hates Fleury, that’s me; I’m that guy), Perry makes Stone his bitch, and Pacioretty gets caught up in the “old team that turfed him” mentality. Throw in some special teams, and a bit of puck luck. Basically, the Habs could win this thing. It’s not a fait accompli that Vegas wins (despite all the favouritism and help Bettman has bestowed upon his pet project). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knights are a HEAVY team which the Habs won't be able handle I don't think, not against the boards or infront of the net. Price wasn't tested enough I don't think. They barley had a cycle game vs the Leafs or the Jets, Leafs just handed pucks on dumb turnovers. Was sad to see. I don't think Perry has the physical capacity to play 15 minutes and the players they brought to score will disappear like they have. But we'll see.

And that’s what it all comes down to, and why it’s fun when you don’t have any actual skin in the game: you have to wait and see because nobody knows for sure! Few - if any - of the pundits picked all 4 teams still in it to be in the semis. That said… Just looking at the roster, and Vegas IS big - I’ll give you that!

Scythe Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Will the long flights have any affect on the teams performances? Could the ice be a lot different in Vegas vs Centre Bell? Edited June 14, 2021 by Scythe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same way that I wouldn't want to see Montreal fans changing either. Actually I miss seeing everyone in the stands in suits and nice clothes. (Screw you Claude Lemieux.) I guess that’s the rub; how do you reconcile a non-traditional hockey city’s (corporatized, though that may be a redundant qualifier in Vegas’ case) expression of its identity with the conventions of hockey spectatorship? I know the response is probably “you don’t”, but I am old(ish) and grumpy about things like this. I fondly remember going to games at the old Forum, where almost everyone was there - shockingly - to actually watch every second of the game. The “big screen” had graphics that made the original NES look like 3D. And no replays anywhere - so if you missed it live, you missed it completely. And between whistles and tv time outs? Organ music. That’s it. The bottom line here IS the bottom line; all pro sports are businesses. I get that. Coming from a market where what is being sold is actually just straight up hockey, its a sad spectacle to see Vegas adding so many other things to the show in order to sell a game that in my experience sells itself.

I have to ask, did you actually expect Vegas to tone down the theatrics? I'm shocked there aren't go-go girls dancing in cages suspended over the ice surface.
