At least Canada has a team in the final 8 of the NHL playoffs this year. That’s pretty good for you guys. What’s it been, likely 50 years since that happened?

If you thought that, even for a half a second, then you've completely lost your mind! I agree they were playing really good, but, they ARE the Leafs!!! And yet I still hear people say that if you listen to the talk radio in Toronto they think the hockey world revolves around Toronto and that every player would just love to play there. lol......

And the way the media treats the players there is nothing short of awful which imo is a huge part of the reason draft picks ect often don't work out. Winnatlotta would be considered a pollyanna with that group.

the treatment of dion phaneuf by the fans and the media was just over the top ridiculous and low class and he's just one example of 100's there over the years
worse they do it to the young up and coming prospects

I can't really differentiate between fans and the hosts--I think I've gotten the impression it's mostly the hosts of the talk shows and media who act like the hockey world revolves around Toronto, like everybody else idolizes Toronto as some kind of epic icon that everyone else looks up to. I've never heard any of the chatter, I'm just going by what I've heard other people say over the years. I do know the media is ridiculously tough on the players, I've heard that often. That's just stupid. I like honesty instead of homerism but there's no reason to take it too far. I've always thought that Phaneuf was a giant doosh so I'm glad to hear he caught hell, lol.....

And Canada is eliminated from the playoffs again. I was actually rooting for Winnipeg to beat Las Vegas. Being a Blues fan, and we haven't won a Cup in 51 years, I'm going to be ultra P.O.'d if an expansion team comes along and wins it their first year in the league. And Vegas is now in the finals. Fack.

Yeah I hate it actually.... I lived through two entire franchises coming to Atlanta and leaving, never even sniffing a finals. Then I have to watch that asshat Bettman use league money to do anything to keep the franchise in Phoenix while he does nothing for Atlanta other to accept a bribe in the form of some made-up movement fee to get them out of town and to Winnipeg. The to see the big money come rolling in from gambling town to get them a franchise, and now the rules are such that they can put together a Stanley Cup Finals team in year 1? Yeah... sounds legit

Congrats to the Washington Capitals **Stanley Cup Champs** YESSSSS!!! Ovechkin wins the Cup he deserves.
Now let's prepare for the next expansion coming in two years, where Seattle (if they get the team) ends up in the finals the first year too.

NHL Free Agency is on -- once again my team the Boston Bruins go cheap and get little or nothing in FA
Came up short on Tavares, Kovalchuck, Van Reimsdyk and other real names -- they always talk but Mr Jacobs always comes up short
That is why they have pretty good teams that fall short in the post season. They needed some firepower and struck out again
For once I would like for them to get someone good in FA for a change -- have not done it since the signing of Chara some yrs ago
