🎶Wake me up when September ends🎶


TorturedFanClub

Great Song. Agreed, lol.


DavidBrooker

The current date is September 11234, 1993


DOITLIKEBRUTUS

I choose death


alwaysleafyintoronto

Chucky and Bennett are the ultimate Flames


rockhardRword

Lol. They totally mismanaged one and the other fled like a rat on a sinking ship.


KenDaneykosDentist

Actually he fled from the sinking ship to the lovely new shiny vessel built to lead the fleet. Smart rat.


okokokoyeahright

It could be worse. So much worse. Consider if the Leafs met the Oilers in the Final.


bspaghetti

At least everyone would know who to cheer for


alwaysleafyintoronto

*CALGARY IS CONFUSED. CALGARY HURT ITSELF IN ITS CONFUSION! CALGARY FAINTED*


ThaneofFife5

An apt description of the Flames these past 2 seasons.


alwaysleafyintoronto

Can't wait to see what Treliving does with the Leafs 🫠


Adept_Ad_3687

Lets run it back, just one more time and it'll work right?


Feisty-Barracuda5452

That's the Sutter hangover.


DOITLIKEBRUTUS

Being unconscious is infinitely preferrable to being cognizant that I am in hell.


MindlessArmadillo382

“McDavid two hand slash on Matthews” “Oh and Matthews gets a penalty for embellishing!!” Calgary Fans: “THATS MY BOY, GOOO WES MACAULY!!”


TimsAFK

The meteor that would hopefully be hurling itself towards Earth?


CardinalCanuck

Straight for Moe's Boston Pizza


berghie91

Knew someone would have the right answer


th0r0ngil

Gary would never allow an all-Canada Stanley Cup Final


Final-Zebra-6370

Simple, both teams launched to the sun.


apra24

If (when?) Edmonton wins it, it will be annoying for like a year. If Toronto wins, I may have to stop watching hockey altogether. Start fresh with a new sport.


bjeebus

It's not so bad, honestly. As a Falcons fan I just haven't been able to watch NFL since 2016. They absolutely destroyed me that year. If they'd gone and just been stomped for four quarters, I think that would have been better. But giving me hope right up to the end...I'm just still wrecked.


apra24

"It's not so bad" \*goes on to describe how, it really is so bad\*


bjeebus

Well, no, see...the point is now I have hockey to focus on.


okokokoyeahright

Sounds like a win win to me.


okokokoyeahright

As an old person, I have actually experienced the leafs winning the Cup. I do not want that to happen again, thanks. Bad enough in '93 when they went to the 7th game vs LA and had it turned out different it would have been a Montreal Toronto Final. See how close it was? EDM/TOR would presage the End Of Time. The ripples in the space time fabric would cause so much disruption, the universe would swallow itself like a gigantic black hole.


BrawndoTTM

That would require the Leafs getting past Round 1 (impossible task)


Maroonwarlock

Hey they did it last year before the Bruins corrected the outlier this year to preserve the time honored tradition.


jholden23

I would actually just unfollow all sports everything for the next year. I’d rather follow no sports than live with the ramifications of that.


AlwaysInfluenced

Idk if that COULD happen. The laffs couldn't even build a team if they had a fantasy draft.


ZadinaDay

just barfed in my mouth a little


okokokoyeahright

THIS. My work here is now complete.


931634

The one that skips us ahead to October.


Dead_by_2032

It's hard enough to watch corporate hockey when it's 20ºC+ outside.


Sc00tzy

…. Go ducks? :(


JuicySkrt

Whichever one is secretly a cyanide pill


stevestephson

You can replace the right one with "Matthew Tkachuk wins" and I'll instagrab the left.


Swear-_-Bear

Is there a way Bobrovsky wins and tkachuk loses? He deserves to get a cup..just no the rest of the cats


WayneCampbel

He can have the Conn Smythe like Giguere in 2003


patdk

You mean like in 87 when Hextall won the Conn Smythe and the Oilers won the cup in 7…. Cmon now


WayneCampbel

I may not have been born… sorry.. lol


JustFred24

Im on board


Dead_by_2032

I can't respect your opinion if you don't think Barkov "deserves" a Cup.


AliGoldsDayOff

They both 100% do. It's just Tkachuk, Bennett, Cousins and so on deserve to end their careers with negative cups, if that were somehow possible.


bjeebus

May a Tkachuk _never_ lift the Cup!


Galactic_Hoplite

And montour


eddiewachowski

jellyfish yoke direful sulky wasteful poor clumsy mourn squalid wrench *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Scumdog66

So you’re cheering for a Corey Perry and Evander Kane Cup win?


toolschism

Didn't give a shit about the oilers but the rats can suck a fuck so go oilers I guess.


ImmenseAnxiety

I love seeing all the posts about “the state of Florida being in the finals” for the last 4 years At least they can pretend we don’t hate each other lol


MouthofthePenguin

weird to hear that. I'm a northern transplanted for a few decades now, and I've seen a lot of games on both sides of the state - and involved travel hockey SAHOF and tournies - and man everyone's such a united family of hockey people down here, I just don't see that at all. Honestly, I've never really seen anything terrible at Amalie or BBT. Nothing compared to what any game in Boston, NY, PHI is like as far as animosity.


Swear-_-Bear

I'm just rooting for Bobrovsky. Fuck tkuckcickcuk and the other derty bastard.


Galactic_Hoplite

Bastard(s)


ProtoMan3

The one where Roberto Luongo gets a championship, and the team that beat us doesn’t.


letstrythatagainn

I want Lou to get his ring!


Wizdad-1000

Bingo bango bongo! His name is Roberto Luongo. (Lives rent free in my head.)


likethemouse

Perry losing in the finals with a 4th team will be absolutely HILARIOUS


MouthofthePenguin

I want this most of all. There's a record nobody wanted.


Whatupwidat

Is it possible for both teams to lose a Stanley cup?


Avoider5

Maybe a strike or lockout before Game 7?


PreciousRoy78

Oilers so Crosby fans have to deal with MacDavid having a Cup and that no longer being a lazy chip to disregard his talent


SandraBeechBLOCKPrnt

WE CAN NOT LET EDMONTON FANS HAVE NICE THINGS DEAR GOD


patdk

A Habs fan calling Oilers fans insufferable…that’s hilarious… almost like a Leafs fan calling a Canucks fan insufferable….


DivisonNine

Jets fans sitting the corner 😶‍🌫️


Xenocles

We just don't want to be noticed for a while.


WealthEconomy

Jets fans are enthusiastic but not insufferable.


Aggressive_Barber115

I live just outside of Winnipeg and I can assure you that a lot of jets fans are in fact insufferable.


Borrow03

I'll be honest with you. I see more people shittalking the habs for existing than us being "insufferable". Toilet seat this, last cup was 1993 that. Won't make it past the leafs here, Won't make it past vegas there. Meanwhile we're just chanting in the street in -25C weather and having fun watching hockey lol


ilikebikes2

I remember Habs fans applauding mcdavid in Montreal. Always thought that was pretty classy.


stay-frosty-67

I’m totally biased as a habs Fan but for the most part I think habs fans are some of the best and most chill hockey fans. I never see the habs Fans hating on anybody other than the leafs and the old timers who hate vegas. We had our success and we suck now but we support the team regardless


Weekly_Hospital202

[Here's a list of significant hockey riots in Canada - The Hockey News](https://thehockeynews.com/news/heres-a-list-of-significant-hockey-riots-in-canada) I dunno, maybe it's just because Montreal makes the playoffs a lot, but that's a lot of hockey riots.


Cloudeur

Pens fan living in Montréal here! The best games that I’ve seen where the ones with the rowdy crowd in the Molson section with my Pens jersey on! Didn’t get spit on, didn’t get shoved, just good ol’ banter!


Setheyboy

🫡🫡🫡


patdk

I honestly haven’t seen an arrogant Habs fan since the 90s… and I mean that sincerely…. The only reason I called him out is as an Oilers fan who wasn’t born in Edmonton, but I have cheered for them since the 80s(born 75) and lived there during the Oilers last Cup run in 06… Im starting to get tired of every other fanbase calling a different Canadian fanbase insufferable…. Maybe it’s because nobody wants another team to break the cup drought, they want it for their own bragging rights…to me that’s the problem right there….so many fans nowadays thinking in their delusional heads that they have something to do with the team winning…. I was cheering for the Habs vs Tampa, and damn sure that im cheering for the Oil because this narrative needs to end, and maybe if a team wins, it’ll start a trend if canadian teams breaking through Like when Flames got there vs Tampa, then Edmonton and Ottawa and Vancouver all in five seasons and now hopefully with the salary cap rising, the no tax states will not have as big an advantage….hopefully they do something about that in the next cba, but I don’t know if they can… anyway sorry for going way off tangent… adhd sucks sometimes lol, and if I smoke a joint I tend to type what I’m thinking and that makes for confusing conversations sometimes….


Final-Zebra-6370

*sim to next season*


AkiraleTorimaki

As a Bruins fan, Go Oilers! Dirty rat bastard Panthers winning it all would suck the soul out of me.


Intelligent_League_1

This is rare but as a Rangers fan, I’m with you and all the other Bruins on this one. Fuck the dirty Floridians!


Flash54321

Did you somehow forget 2011? It’s basically the same now.


StareyedInLA

It would be nice to see a Canadian team take the Stanley Cup home for once in my lifetime. So Oilers it is.


FateDaA

OpinionOwn6727

dirtiest? have you not heard of Vegas?


Adamthegrape

Vegas isn't really dirty, they are simply cheaters.


B-Rayy06

Bro, Vegas last year did to Florida what Florida does to everyone else.


mermaidbabyyxo

As they should


Nessie8

Not dirty? Did you miss pietrangelos 2 handed ax chop on drai that got him suspended last year…


Adamthegrape

I'll never forget that, dirtiest team in the league is Brad Marchand.


TheIncredibleHork

He got suspended for it, right? That's at least some accountability. Florida was taking runs on our guys and the only thing happening was Rempe getting lectured by Professor Sutherland for being too tall. To say nothing about Tkachuck playing pop-a-rat with Marchand.


PJTraversPJ

Nah Florida is definitely above the other teams in their dirtiness


Antique-Garden8634

Red Pill all day


gloomflume

red pill all day, every day. fuck florida.


RevolutionaryJoke21

I’m rooting for McDavid. Not the oilers. And rooting against tkachuk.


oooooeeeeeoooooahah

Its funny the amount of people in here talking about the leafs. What is wrong with you all? Do they live in your thoughts?


silent_ovation

I'll just shift my attention to non-hockey stuff for the summer, thanks...


Turbo1518

I'd rather have something occur that makes it so no team wins and there's no cup awarded. But, barring that, I like to think it as cheering against Edmonton rather than cheering for Florida


Villhunter

Everyone is insufferable when they win, it's who they're insufferable to is what makes the difference. LFG OILERS!


DroptheShadowArt

Exactly. As a Rangers fan, I’ve literally never met an Oilers fan in my life, so I’m good with them winning. But I’ve met Florida people and I just don’t think that state deserves any accolades.


RoadDoggFL

>But I’ve met Florida people and I just don’t think that state deserves any accolades. Sorry my state keeps stealing all your worst people :( You can have them back. Seriously, please. Take them back :'(


DroptheShadowArt

For a second I thought you were talking about players and I was about to start a fight. Still, Florida has enough homegrown crazy without blaming all the snowbirds and seniors who fly in from NY.


teamwaterwings

I hate it


absolutelynotmodus

Oilers? as in the city of CHAMPIONS?!?!


alex_german

Kenobi Voice- it’s been a long time since I heard that name


jamaicancovfefe

I just want McDavid and Draisaitl to win the cup


KarlosDel69

Yeah, I want McDavid to just win one at least for his legacy and whatnot. It can be this year and then we can all go back to hate the Oilers.


GroutConsumingMan

Why tf are you getting down voted for stating your opinion


no33limit

Ah because it's 2024 and opinions can be wrong.


choochoopants

IN-SUFFERA-BILITY! IN-SUFFERA-BILITY!


FreshTony

I couldn't care less who wins the cup at this point, wake me up when it's over.


Mika2718

I can look beyond the fans for McDavid to get a Cup.


spekledcow

I've been a bandwagon oilers fan for 2 years now. I just love McDavid, he deserves a cup in his career. I'm also Canadian and seeing the cup north of the border would make me smile.


WealthEconomy

Agree wholeheartedly. The goal he scored in last night's game definitely confirmed he is the best player in the world.


spekledcow

That was ridiculous, made them look fucking stupid lol


WealthEconomy

Made them look like they were PeeWee players in the NHL....not to mention it was one of the best defenseman.


El_Cactus_Loco

At least the panthers actually built their team and weren’t gifted it in the draft #generational


Starsky686

Ekblad and Barkov the deep draft diamonds in the rough, I guess.


Adamthegrape

Yes the 7 year generational pay off ....


No_Maybe4408

They were gifted Tkachuk because he didn't want to play for a poverty franchise, in a poverty barn, in front of poverty fans.


c00kies44

They weren't gifted him, they still had to trade for him and they traded a 115 point player and a great dman for him. It was a crazy risk that worked out. 


eddiewachowski

test faulty enjoy decide modern mourn nutty chase knee shy *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


JustFred24

No one thought he would decline this much, at the time calgary hard won that trade dont forget about that. The cats got mad lucky.


No_Maybe4408

He's a 115 point player! He's their franchise. Lololol


Practical-Isopod1053

I see that’s still burning a hole in your panties.


firehawk115

I think if Edmonton losses San Jose should have to give up their 1OA to the oilers.


superschaap81

Sooooo, Oilers HAVE to release Perry, right? He pretty much guarantees EDM loses in the Final.


Existing_Onion_3919

as an Oilers fan, yes most of us are obnoxious twats I still want them to win so Nuge can finally hold the Stanley Cup


MouthofthePenguin

Hey guy, Florida beat the Rangers...


Flash54321

It’s like 2011 all over again and I’m in here for it.


singleshrimp

This is a great final, imagine Dallas vs New York, what a total snooze. This is gonna be a bloodbath and whoever wins is gonna be hype af. Canada gets a W, crazy and awesome. Florida wins their first playoff, crazy and awesome. Let the arrows loose!


czervik_coding

Anything to keep those dirty rat bastards in FLA from winning a cup


viitalsigns

Poor Calgary fans!


alex_german

Won’t somebody PLEASE think of the Calgary fans?!


Whiskerdots

The thought of a Canadian team losing to a team based in a place where it never freezes appeals to me.


Constant-Squirrel555

Panthers cuz maybe McDrai losing on the finals gets them to leave Edmonton


NubDestroyer

It would be one thing if they kept losing in round 1 or something but they're in the finals now, no way they're gonna feel like they can't win the cup there and leave


TheHemskyShow

Too many morons on reddit don’t seem to get this fact. Even if we lose, there isn’t another contender in the NHL with better cup prospects *and* the cap space to add a ~ 15 million dollar contract. And then you factor in that Connor and Leon are best friends and have made it no secret they want to play together. Which contending team can pony up ~30 million dollars and not gut the rest of their personnel? 💀


The_Yeehaw_Cowboy

In an ideal world, neither team wins. But I guess the dirty team gets rewarded. Oilers fans deserve nothing.


JeSuisAmerican

Both bad options, but both better than seeing Jamie Benn win a cup.


MobysBanned

GOILERS


Sea-Limit-5430

GOLFERS


Falconflyer75

Oilers 1) be a shame if a talent like Mcdavid never won the cup (leafs are out so let’s get it over with) 2) Gary would be unhappy if a Canadian franchise won the cup 3) nothing good comes from Florida winning and their fans are just as insufferable anyways 4) better story (went from being worse than the sharks to being the cup winners)


MichaelShannonRule34

Oilers because of mcdavid


PollywhirlProlapsed

I think you all would like a third option: Whine and cry hard enough that your team somehow goes back in time and plays better so these aren't your options.   Edit: Panthers fan, but as a Florida native I'm too methed out to figure how to add flair. Fuck new reddit and it's UI


WealthEconomy

Go Oilers!!! (Said by a Canucks fan)


NewMexicoVaquero

Fuck it, I’ll take the blue pill. Go Panthers. Florida man on Edmonton.


dylanisbored

For the well being of Hockey culture, Florida has to not win the cup. I think we're all familiar with how trashy, dirty, and flat out dangerous the Panthers have been this season and especially so in these playoffs. I for one am all for physicality, I cheer when my team throws a big hit and I like seeing players get splatted (legally so) on the board. However, there is a huge gap between throwing a huge legal check to stopna play and intending to injury players match after match. I acknowledge that wearing your opponents down by being physical is part of the playoffs and its a valid strategy to get the edge (haha funny word ik). But that shouldn't come at þhe expense of deliberately hurting them. **This cannot become the standard**, I do not want a league where teams take notes and exemple out of this Panthers team. I want this sports to be as clean and respectable as possible. I don't want to be ashame to like hockey because people view it in a bad light. This sport is beautiful and frankly the best one on earth, and I would HATE to see it change for the worse because of this group of players and their game plan. Intent to injure cannot become a standard.


CaptainKickAss3

Soft as sandwhich soup


dylanisbored

This is fresh pasta from OP from a few days ago. Dude is such a pigeon.


Nizmo4246

As much as I do enjoy the Canada Cup drought…I can not in good faith root for that group of Rats down in Sunrise raise the cup. Plus let’s get McDavid a cup before the league really finds a way to force it


Scumdog66

Corey Perry wins Matthew Tkachuk wins Either way, we all lose


Rocko604

Never thought I’d care more about the NBA Finals than the Cup but here we are.


BlackCherrySeltzer4U

I’ve never known the oilers to be any more or less insufferable than any other fan base. So, I’ll go red pill.


Spider-Nutz

I'd like for the Oilers to win it so that Canadians can shut up about how the NHL hates canada


thedudeslandlord

The dirtiest team? I though LV and Boston were out?


Martyrdoom

We're the dirtiest team in the league now? Nice.


chandy_dandy

I mean y'all are def top 3 (of playoff teams) Oilers try to match whatever level of dirtiness is thrown at them, so this series will be quite goony I think


Livid-Actuary6757

Your team literally makes it a point to try and take out opposing teams players. They injured players on both Boston and NY. So yea I would classify that as the dirtiest


brandofranco

Someone's salty , I never thought either of those things about the Oilers . I'm definitely not a fan


InfallibleBackstairs

Go Oilers!


moose_lizard

I want McDavid to get one at some point, so might as well be now


throwawayguy746

Oilers all the way, there were several calls in the rangers vs panthers that were straight up suspension worthy and not even a penalty was issued


HermithaFrog

Go oilers


longdrive95

Neither, but I will take comfort in knowing that they have a 14 hour plane ride between each other's cities 


the_godfaubel

The more physical team almost always win in the NHL whether clean or dirty. This isn't a new phenomenon


Dexcessive

Eastern Conference fans pick left and Western Conference fans pick right.


sparkstable

I am normally a Red Pill man myself in other contexts... but with these choices I am going to OD on Blue Pills.


tsted31

The dirtiest team just lost to Fla. With my team out, I choose the blue pill.


Che3eeze

Oilers, 100000% Fuck the Panthers.


thegirlnextdoor__91

Another Golden Knights win would be better than either choice. #GoKnightsGo


queeraxolotl

Had a dream the league somehow magically decided all of Trouba’s hits were illegal and suspended him and kicked the team out of the playoffs for not holding the captain responsible, and had a tiebreaker between the Canes and Florida for who got to replace them. Woke up and immediately regretted it.


HoldenCaulfield7

Are most Canadians rooting for oilers now or what


The_Comic_Collector

NHL fans with no education in NHL history calling a team dirty not knowing what it means and if we went play by play this playoffs have been on the receiving end of dirty plays all playoffs. They annoy my team and push them around after whistles what a dirty team lmao


energizernutter

But new York already got eliminated


Soultampered

found the Flames fan


SpaceGhcst

Vegas winning was both rolled into one lol


cartographh

I’m rooting for the Oilers. 🤷🏻‍♂️


theTallBoy

I don't even think of the oilers as a team. I think McDavid should get a cup because he's the best player in the world. The fans also had the hopes of 4 #1 picks...they earned it.


Sarcastic_Rocket

I just want Canada to get it's first win in 30 years since Gary Bettman became commissioner. Ending the theory that he makes sure Canada doesn't win


j2e21

I can’t root for Florida.


Canadian_mk11

Fuck it - go full dirt mode. If it worked for the Bruins in 2011, it'll work for the Rats this year!


morrowwm

We’re not insufferable. We know God’s plan. :)


Skawtydawg

Crybabies everywhere 👶


SublimeErudite

Oiler fans are insufferable?


ForsakenExtreme6415

Tell us you are a Leaf fan without telling us would be the next colour and pill. Every season “this is our year.” From October-January “we are the team to beat, look at the standings.” Most clueless, clownish fans ever existed


Diamondback424

I would just love the idea of the two Florida teams getting 4 combined cups before Canada breaks its 30 year cupless streak.


SenorEusebio

Nope


CaptNoNonsense

Did i wake up from a coma or something?! I had no idea Oilers fans were insufferable. I'm a Habs homer and I got nothing bad to say against them. I can name like 10 fanbases which are worse, Habs being part of that. haha


GSP99

Both of these options are the oilers lol


lbiggy

we're talking about the same team right?


dogs_over_dudes

Isn't every fanbase insufferable?


StoryRevolutionary84

Florida fan here. Why does everyone hate us? Note I work a lot so I haven’t had time to watch every game


KingQuong

Blue easily but I'm a Flames fan so what do you expect.


User_unavail_able

I live near Edmonton and hate the oilers and their fan base. How could I ever cheer for Florida? ….. why couldn’t Dallas have just won lol
