Seattle gets an NHL team! How 'bout that shit?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Just to piss Canada off

 

[DaveC]

literally nobody here is pissed off about this except for like 100 delusional people in quebec city.

as retro-cool as their unis were, the nordiques are never coming back (for a multitude of very good reasons) and people need to get the fuck over it.

so just like i said...nobody but delusional quebecers is mad at this.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

That was the joke, you angry Canadian.

 

[DaveC]

i am definitely an angry canuck, but i'm angry at the idiot that waited until 4:55 pm on billing day to send me the expenses i've been asking him for since the 12th.

 

[DaveC]

if the new expansion team isn't called the seattle battle cattle then i quit sports.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I was personally hoping for the Seattle Cold Brews

firebirds is by far the best one on that list, although it really should be thunderbirds if they're going that route.

[DaveC]

i have a new favourite player.

 

[Hewson]

He's a back door man

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

He is not the suck

 

[bono_212]

Man, I thought for sure this season was long over. I kept watching more out of a "so you're saying there's a chance?" mindset, never thought the Hawks would crawl back in.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

We still suck.

Couldn’t stick to “not winnin for mackinnon” and now no “lose for Hughes”.

 

[bono_212]

It was never in doubt.

Googly eyes ftw.

You should replace Pikachu with a stuffed Gritty.

 

[bono_212]

I wonder if I could get my friend to make her one !

[Hewson]

Looks like he's on pre-order currently.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Im really not sure what to think of the Leafs this year. I mean, they’re good but another first round against the Bruins is not exactly filling me with much hope at this point... and if they somehow win that series they surely would face Tampa the next round.

 

[Hewson]

It's kind of unfortunate (this year) the way the NHL playoffs seed now, with their attempt to get back to division play in the playoffs a few years back that the winner of Bruins/Leafs will have to play a 120+ point TB in the 2nd round, but it is what it is. Likely the Bruins will finish with 2nd most points in east (possibly 2nd in league) and in any other sport would avoid Tampa till the conference finals should they advance that far, but not the good old NHL.
