Totally agree!F Me In The Brain said:I'm not sure who to root for. I guess it will be the Western rep, since I am a fan of the West.I do not like Las Vegas as a city. I do not like most of the people I know from there. I do not like some of the guys on their team....But I do not like many guys on Washington, either.(I do like Oshie)Hope it goes 7, either way.Fun to see new blood, although it just doesn't sit right to see a first year team make it there. More power to them, I guess.Columbus-2000

I like Oshie too... but it's probably because I still see him as a Blue. Holtby was amazing in the last 2 1/2 games.. no other word for it.0 -

I've bet the Caps for every series so far and it has treated me well so I think I'm going to keep riding them.

Athletes generally don't wear it on their sleeve like musicians do. So while we may disagree with many of athletes, I think they probably want to avoid that fray. And I'm kind of in the same boat with Billy, although I still listen to Gish because that's just too good to ignore. But he's just a jealous jackass, so I don't hold the same level of disdain.HughFreakingDillon said:

I don't know who those people are, but I would generally be sickened by them. But I was sickened by the entire country after 2001 when a disease called jingoism afflicted half of the country. I was banned from several boards back in that time. I was young, but remember playing Call of Duty online (on a computer) and this was when people ran their own maps. I was banned from several of those for handles such as "Bush is a War Pig" and "Darth Rumsfeld".HughFreakingDillon said:
are you this outraged by players who are/were vocal proponents of GWB? Because his admin murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people.mrussel1 said:
Must be nice not to have a moral compass. Maybe Putin will murder a reporter on his behalf, or jail a rock band that speaks out against him.Meltdown99 said:We all should be happy for Ovechkin ... very well deserved Washington.
So yeah.
maybe I'm not as outraged by it since I don't really give a shit that much about hockey. I have a hard time separating politics and music, however. I have a hard time listening to Smashing Pumpkins ever since Billy came out as a fuckwad. I can totally get how a republican would have a hard time listening to PJ.
it's a good thing for me, most of the time the artists I don't like and the politics I don't like line up, so it doesn't affect my choices.
I never would have liked "today's Country", but the fact that it got so behind Bush and the war has made me despise it forever.0 -

I've bet the Caps for every series so far and it has treated me well so I think I'm going to keep riding them.20 years spent living a 3-4 hour drive from that place ruined me forever on it. For probably the first 10 years I thought it was the greatest place going and went far too frequently.Have been there 4-5 times since I moved away in 2012 and every time I say I am never going back.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

Ahhh yeah, that will probably do it. I kinda overdid it in my 20s...prob went like 10 times. Went back there last year for the first time in 4-5 years and loved it. Going back in October for my brother's bachelor party.
Back on topic...can an expansion team really win the Cup?!?!?0 -

Back on topic...can an expansion team really win the Cup?!?!?I would never have thought so...but, yes, I think they clearly can. Only lost 3 games on the way to the finals.(Kings, I believe, hold the recent note for losing 2 on the way to FInals, although the Devils took 2 in the finals to leave them at 4. Would be amazing to see someone do what the Oil did and only lose 2 and win 16)Vegas 4, WDC 3.7 games, with all games being decided by 2 goals or less.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
if Vegas can continue to play the way they've played most of the playoffs, they'll be skating circles around WSH.Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer0

I'm rooting for the Caps and Ovechkin. The Knights is a nice story but I'd rather see the Big O get a cup win.0

It obvious for Washington to get to the final was the result of interference by high level members of the Putin regime ...
I think Mr. Bettman should hire a special prosecutor to investigate...Give Peas A Chance…0 -

When did you start following hockey ... the post Bettman era. Post Tampa entering the league era. At one time many top lines featured enforcers. Gretzky had Semenko/McSorley, Yzerman had Probert, Bossy/Trottier had Gillies and on and on ... the instigator rule has changed the role of the enforcer for the worst...beside Ovechkin does not shy away from the rough stuff...mrussel1 said:
Why does Ovechkin play with Wilson anyway? Does he need protection?pjsteelerfan said:Wonder how Tom Wilson will act with Ryan Reaves looking back at him from the other side?Give Peas A Chance…0 -
yeah no shit.. Gretzky had an enforcer? Who knew... I'm asking why Ovi needs one. Thanks for the unnecessary history lesson.Meltdown99 said:
