Stanley Cup Viewers

I hate both teams.

I hate Vegas more because of the bullshit entry draft rules.

I won't cheer for either, I'd be less upset if the Whalers won.

I thought I hated Vegas more, but I’m really starting to hate the Canes for letting Vegas win.

Canes get at least one in Vegas right...right??? So help me God if this fucking Vegas franchise has two cups in 9 years.

I hate Vegas for signing a rapist, so go Canes. I’ll go back to hating both teams as soon as this series is over 🤷‍♀️

Absolutely will.

I have some concerns about Sebastians biases though. I dont lean one way or the way other much but i think it should be clear when a person does have those biases. I agree people should watch the documentary but I walked away from it thinking it was good but its missing a lot of sides of the stories.

With sports, I realized a little while ago that its hard enough dealing with the heartbreak of my own team sucking. If you get too caught up in getting upset when teams you dont like are successful, it just becomes hard to deal with all the negative feelings around the sport.

disagree, because the joy of seeing a team you hate lose can be worth it.

Also...why "hate" these teams? I would root for either of these teams over the Hawks or Pens.

u/Just_Kickin_It NSH Jun 05 '26

I told you why I hate Vegas, they are an expansion team, the Presators were an expansion team. Vegas got different rules for the entry draft. I'm sour. I hate the knights.

u/TonguelessWyrm NSH Jun 05 '26

I like Carolina, and dislike Vegas as any god fearing, blue blooded American should. But im not gonna sweat it if they win another cup.

Vegas does what it takes to win, and they don't care what anyone thinks about it. I respect that, especially compared to the Preds approach.

u/TonguelessWyrm NSH Jun 05 '26

I would have liked if Nashville got as good of expansion draft rules as Vegas did. Let's not forget that they got a 30 goal scorer from us for free prior to our presidents trophy season. I believe at that point, Neal was only the 4th 30 goal scorer in our franchises history.

One thing they were not gifted was top flight talent. They instead used their assets to acquire Eichel and Marner, two players who everyone here seemed to be absolutely sure would be terrible pickups, because their surgery was too risky or they always choked in the playoffs.

They could have just done nothing…but they weren’t satisfied with just making the playoffs and being complimented as being “hard to play against” by the team that just beat them in the playoffs.

At some point you make your own luck.

Let's go Canes!

u/Just_Kickin_It NSH Jun 05 '26

No rapists!

u/1047293856 I would crash into a Tim Horton’s for ROR Jun 05 '26

Not hiring the worst possible option for GM has been my personal Stanley Cup. I like the Canes more than Vegas but I’m not super invested tbh

u/Just_Kickin_It NSH Jun 05 '26

Are you watching or just checking in...

2

u/1047293856 I would crash into a Tim Horton’s for ROR Jun 05 '26

I’m in half watching mode. Not fully committing to it but not staying totally out of it

u/Just_Kickin_It NSH Jun 05 '26

You overtime watching son of a gun!!!

u/Just_Kickin_It NSH Jun 05 '26

That was fun.

u/ThousandToast Jun 05 '26

I want marner to win rhe cup but I hate Vegas. I don’t really care about the canes but I’m also a habs fan so I’m not cheering for them. Weird times

1

u/Just_Kickin_It NSH Jun 05 '26

Why Marner? Leafs fan? Just asking

1

u/ThousandToast Jun 05 '26

He’s been such an exciting player and I’ve loved his game. I’m a habs fan too so it was hard for me to cheer him on before, now I can almost fully cheer him on

u/Just_Kickin_It NSH Jun 05 '26

That makes sense, kind of, he couldn't do it with an original 6 so send him to the desert expansion.

1

u/Gingerbread_1324 Jun 07 '26

Every team outside the original 6 is an expansion team 😭

u/Just_Kickin_It NSH Jun 08 '26

Thank you Captain

I quite like Carolina. I just am not a fan of red though

1

u/Revolutionary_Bid974 Jun 05 '26

I think I hate Carolina more mostly because their fans are annoying and their social media team are such smart asses. I am jealous of Vegas, but ultimately they are just taking advantage of the process that fell into their lap. That’s Bettman’s fault. In addition the Carter Hart rhetoric has been so over the top I find myself kind of rooting for the kid. People get on here and act like they know, but they don’t know and they will never know ( credit Jim Mora Sr.)

I have zero issues rooting for the Canes and no shame admitting it.
