Thee Official 2023-24 Playoffs Thread: Stop fucking crying bro, it’s not junior

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Another BS even-up call

[linseman]

what was bobrovsky doing on the mcdavid goal

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Ruh roh

[linseman]

good dive call

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Didn’t think they’d give Tkachuk an embellishment there but he 100% did

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Panthers D have been totally shameless about dogging it to try to get icings on dying pucks and the refs fortunately haven’t bought it

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Oh my god the Tkachuk save and then McDavid casually scoring two seconds later

[Fleetwood mactavish]

[practice]

whilST of course I am happy for the buddies of Hamilton West I find the constant celebration of the distance travelled in this series to be basically panic-inducing. I saw a headline for some drivel reporting about what the players are doing on the flight (playing videogames etc)

[practice]

I have to think a guy like Dougie Hamilton or maybe Brent Burns pre getting his head straight would have said something to one of the plane-fulls of reporters about how fucked up it is to be playing hockey in late June rotating games between south Florida and West Ed when currently you can poach a fish in the atlantic ocean (probably)

[practice]

the Edmonton Just Stop Oilers

[Fleetwood mactavish]

I assume the other players take turns rotating McDavid in some sort of Bacta tank/chamber that he floats in during the long haul flights

[Fleetwood mactavish]

yeah flight thing is dumb and it's also making me question my own decision to book 8 flights between Edmonton and Florida next month

[Fleetwood mactavish]

oh man I probably should not have prepurchased tickets to a local tribute to Bill Evans for tomorrow night all those weeks ago

wonder if the band will even show up

[pissfarm]

My wife is having her friends over to commiserate over the impending divorce of one of them so I'm gonna sequester myself in the basement with some whiskey and pizza and party alone.

[captain]

I have tickets to game 7 and the dream is not yet dead (though might be in 6 short hours)

With the winning streaks they had this season and the offense (especially McDavid) breaking out last game, if any team could do it...

surprise i also got a ticket to game 6

the next few days are going to be absolutely mental if they can win tomorrow

[practice]

ok if the goil win game 6 I will be flying to edmo myself to chain myself to the wheels of captain's private jet

[looks out at audience of Fleetwood and two other people]

"Seems like Conversations with Myself tonight!"

[Fleetwood mactavish]

Excellent work

[Fleetwood mactavish]

I work in one of the buildings next to the arena and the past few days I’ve seen loads of people just wistfully staring out our office windows looking at the rink

Vibe in the area has been pretty fun/hilarious
