Stanley Cup picks

What’s to hate about Tkchauk, his family is from your home state! If anything, I root for American players. And how can you root for the Rangers? Lol

As far as Evander Kane I always enjoyed him squaring up with Ryan Reaves.

I’m on an elliptical machine right now with a #11 Kings shirt. Believe it or not, 20 years ago I would have changed so as to not wear anyone else’s stuff. Now I don’t care. If a Flyers fan got in my face I’d laugh. When I moved here in 1999 all my stuff was Canadiens and I was a transplant. Took a lot of razzing back then.

Today I simply love the sport above all.

For one, the mouth guard belongs IN THE MOUTH!

Haha was it Kreider who threw it into the stands????!!

Seeing Keith in the stands is a bit shocking as he’s put on weight. But he has a nice athletic family!

Yup, health is a lifelong pursuit! Stop working at it and you will go from a world class athlete to…

Well, “presidents trophy winner” doesn’t mean jack squat. Rangers out, Thank You hockey gods. Panthers played way, way better anyways.

GO OILERS! I’m seeing McDavid having a blowout scoring night. Oilers already up 1-0 thanks to him!

 

[stormgol]

Oilers in Stanley cup final. yes sir!

Oilers in Stanley cup final. yes sir!

Yep, I’ll be watching too. GO OILERS!!!

 

[Snagglefoot]

Yep.

 

[53' Stude]

Well, I sure hope the Oilers figure out the Florida Panthers defense quick or it will be a short Finals.

while i try to be optimist, i told my friends a long time ago that we will never see another Stanley Cup in Canada in my lifetime and even after my death. it's simply not happening. it's been 31 years. only fairly old people in Canada know what winning a Stanley Cup is.

I’m rooting for the oilers. Been 31 years since Canadian team won the Stanley Cup

It's been three decades because Gary Bateman is running the show. Almost feels like a rigged show or election or something. Hard to believe the Habs in 1993. I will say the Canadiens have had some of best players in history from Richard, Beliveau, Koivu, Dryden, Roy...

My fear is they will move 16 in the offseason or next year. It will be just like Hyman. Look what he’s done for the oilers. Last I checked he had 13 or so points in the playoffs.

The Leafs the bed hiring Kyle Dubass. They had Hunter as an assistant GM and failed to promote him. So he returned home to London and continued to build their Junior hockey empire. They are enroute to winning another memorial cup tomorrow. London has had the most memorial cup appearances of any CHL team in the last 25 years.

Now the Leafs have Trevilimg from Calgary who I’m not sure is any better.

Just my $0.02

Toronto has more talent in the arenas. Awesome fan base but they lose steam once it's playoff time.

There was an article recently saying that Canadian NHL teams are at a disadvantage due to the tax burden on players' salaries (as compared to players on American teams).

The proposed solution was to give Canadian teams a higher salary cap.

It gets complex quickly; do you factor in the tax load by state and province as well? Do you consider cost of living as well?
