Seriously, Brad Marchand is a garbage person.

Jinx Time:

Bruins in 5

 

[LuckyNumber7]

The jinx knows who you’re trying to jinx and will antijinx your jinx so shhhhh

 

[MrPryck2U]

I think the Bruins will win. Just not sure how many games. Will be a tough pill to swallow for this NYer. First the BoSox, then the Pats. Now the Bruins? Damn. But, the Blues have the whole Never Won storyline, so there's that.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

The blues have binnington.

 

[LemonMelon]

This has been my least favorite season of the decade, easily. Fuck the Blues.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Ya fuck the team you beat up on all decade

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm sure Yankees fans were thrilled to see the Red Sox win one after beating up on them all those years [emoji108]

I know I cried tears of joy when the Eagles finally got over the hump

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Idk you’d know more about your own rivalries than me but I view Chicago as a rivalry akin to the Yankees and the Rays. Only relevant when the Rays are doing well.

Then again, I’m not sure Chicago has a classical division rival ever since Detroit went back east. So, at that, I suppose St. Louis is it ??*

The Blues came into existence because the Black Hawks owners had an arena in St. Louis and wanted a team there to buy it. Plus, it was closer to Chicago than Baltimore, the other city in consideration at that time.

The Hawks/Blues rivalry has actually been very intense for the last decade and we eliminated them in the playoffs twice during that time frame. Despite falling short in the playoffs, they've been a very tough regular season opponent every year and it helps stir things up that Quenneville got us just a little further than he could take St Louis.

Putting it another way, imagine the garbage fire St Louis Cardinals fanbase getting wasted and trying to get into hockey. It's awful.

But yes, I think most Hawks fans miss Detroit being in the division. They're the big fish.

 

[U2SavesTheWorld]

Found the salty Cubs fan.

 

[LemonMelon]

bono_212 is the only Cubs fan who posts in here occasionally.

Cardinals fans being obnoxious is a running joke at this point.

 

[Hewson]

Game 7 here we come.

 

[phanan]

Let’s get it.

 

[phanan]

Dominated the period and losing 2-0.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Get bint

 

[MrPryck2U]

Boston's gotta do it for Papi.

 

[phanan]

Ugh.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Boston's gotta do it for Papi.

Oh well.

And the Blues are your 2019 Stanley Cup Champions. Another new team on the Cup.

 

[DaveC]

dead last to stanley cup champions in less than six months. what an awesome story.

 

[lazarus]

I had a friend 20+ years ago who was a huge Blues fan. First time I ever watched hockey regularly. It was when Gretzky was on the team for a spell playing with Brett Hull, and they made an impressive run until some bullshit no-call on a blatant Red Wings infraction caused them to lose a Game 7 in double overtime.

Can't believe he had to wait this long after that for an actual championship.

 

[Hewson]

Somewhere Chizip was heard saying "finally".

So now the best Baseball town (with the best Baseball team in the history in the NL, with the best baseball fans) is also the best Hockey town with the best Hockey fans. SUCK IT CHICAGO!!!!!

Yeah we sure cried when the Cubs finally won, it got old beating up on the Cubs for like 100 years (wow 100 years is a long time) SUCK IT CHICAGO!!!!

 

[Magnus Maximus]

Boston and Chicago the two worst, I mean the worst fanbases in history, their franchises (all sports) alternated between awful and mediocre for years (I guess except the Celtics but the NBA is awful anyway). Then suddenly they have a few good years and they puff way out of control. Act like you've been there before. St Louis fans don't boo their opponents lineup, throw crap on the ice on the field. They don't leave in the 3rd period or the 7th inning. Look the Patriots Cheat, the Bruins (Broons's) are whiney little babies, to include the coach (whiner). The Cubs, wow one WS in the same time the Cards won 11. Out of all the franchises in your cities (Chicago and Boston) only the Bears have any class.

 

[Hewson]

the best baseball fans) the best Hockey fans. SUCK IT CHICAGO!!!!!

SUCK IT CHICAGO!!!!

Proof of what great fans St Louis has right in the pudding.

 

[LemonMelon]

I don't even need to say anything.

And this is pretty rich from a fan whose team just won their first (and probably last for a long while) title, ending the longest drought in NHL history.
