Straight up collapse on behalf of the Cats last night. It was really depressing.

LOL hey i get that but after my boys dropped out they were the team i was rooting for

i personally just wanted some good hockey and the whole final series was just kinda whack

good job VGK tho, what a team

What a strong message to send to Florida. 26 goals scored in the final series for Vegas against a goalie that looked unreal in the earlier series.

Bob couldn't sustain that level of play. Cooled off a couple of weeks too soon.

Not soon enough for me, I was pulling for the Canes after my Avs had an early ending. Avs couldn’t have kept it up with the shape we were in at the end of the regular season so maybe going early was a blessing in disguise.

Regardless of the lackluster finals, it's nice to have a new team win the Cup.

Has there been a lot of repeats in the past 20 years?

notun@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I meant a team that has never won before.

But if you wanna look back the past 20ish years you got Chicago, Tampa and Pittsburgh with 3 cups each and Kings with 2, so that's already 11 years between four teams.

I think both teams in the Final haven't one before. Am I blocking out a Florida Cup?

I'm not sure what I'd call too many repeated cup wins, but I don't feel like that's over the line for me.

nah i dont think so

they went in 96 from what i remember but i dont think they've won
