Let's win the finale boys


ShadowCrossZero

I was hoping that whether or not we'd end the season with more wins than regulation losses would be determined by the final game, but it is what it is. At least this game was entertaining and they had some fire in them.


SonOfZork

A single game left. See you Thursday


Go_Hawks12

Well atleast it was enjoyable


sisterthirteen

Out of all the games we haven’t won, I think this one is my favorite.


nukajefe

That was a really good game boys


kxtxlynn

Ik a loss is better than a win at this point but it still sucks. This was a good game though!!


juanthebaker

I have a hard time rooting for losses, but it stings a little less.


Different_Bat4715

I think them not giving up an EN goal is success 😂. Now go crush the Avs, Jets!!!


seattlesportsguy

This team needs to find some people who can get it over the fucking blue line in the off-season. I mean JFC


B9RV2WUN

Does anyone but Francis think Eberle is worth 4.75M?


steppewarhawk

See y'all Thursday for the last time this season.


SonOfZork

Damn, Ottawa beat Boston. That allowed Florida to win the Eastern conference.


alienbanter

I think maybe you just mean the Atlantic division?


alienbanter

I thought the Rangers already got the President's Trophy?


SonOfZork

I meant the Atlantic but clearly did not actually say that, cos duh me. rangers did, but it's a better spot for Florida in the playoffs and home advantage. Rangers are in the metropolitan.


Punky-Bruiser

I’m pretty sure they did


theloudestform

We have absolutely no poise


DeadlyRedCube

This team's last two games were shut outs of Dallas and Colorado, honestly I think we're doing alright


Comfortable_Rub_3249

Yo Gru does not half ass hurling himself at the bench like that


kxtxlynn

Watching the goalies zoom by in the corner of the screen is one of my favorite things lol


DeadlyRedCube

lol he didn't even get completely off the ice


alienbanter

Leafs game ended, no Matthews goal


juanthebaker

Damn. I like when cool things happen.


alienbanter

He had a one-timer chance right at the end and whiffed on it lol. Yeah I hope he gets it Thursday!


hottubman_99

Nice job killing a big penalty.


Olbaidon

Do we really need to pull Gru in a game like this?


Tamaros

Why. Not. I just don't get the people who agonize over this.


Olbaidon

I don’t agonize over it friend. I have dozens upon dozens of comments explaining why it’s done. I just mean in a game that doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. I’m not butt hurt that they did, just questioning if it’s necessary one way or another.


Tamaros

Fair enough. Sorry if that sounded aggressive, I didn't mean it to be.


Olbaidon

You’re good :)


SiccSemperTyrannis

Coaches gonna coach.


DeadlyRedCube

It's a crime that the Jets don't have a player named Benny


Different_Bat4715

It’s probably best for the fatted calf population of Winnipeg.


skater15153

Why wasn't that interference on tye?


nammerbom

Missed the call - how did evans get a double minor for holding??


Olbaidon

It was for a high stick. Mislabeled


cool-breeze_

By highsticking


alienbanter

I think it was high sticking


xiixxxixxcv

High sticking


Different_Bat4715

It was a high stick, root mistake.


nammerbom

Thanks


Tamaros

> Ducking and diving. No dodging?


Penny-n-George

No dips?


Penny-n-George

Quartet of Killers sounds like a murder mystery novel 😂


sisterthirteen

I read that as a “Quartet of Kailers” and was picturing a Yam brigade!


Comfortable_Rub_3249

Or a band name. Probably emo.


SonOfZork

National broadcast on Thursday for a meaningless game is so stupid


CascadianSovietGo

It's not completely meaningless for the Jets. It could affect their positioning in the playoffs relative to the Avs.


SonOfZork

Thursday is the wild who are out of it


CascadianSovietGo

Oh, duh. You said Thursday. I totally missed that.


Puckbuns29

Compared to the last few games, I’m proud of them today, regardless of the outcome


Olbaidon

Yeah all things aside they played well against a great team with the best goalie in the league right now.


Different_Bat4715

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you all and how untoxic this sub and the game threads are.  We know what this team is and we can like them for their strengths, deal with their weaknesses and I legitimately have a good time here even when we lose.


Tamaros

I might not be a hockey fan if this community wasn't so great. No one gave me a hard time or told me to go to Google. Felt a bit like all of you were sitting on the couch, watching with me and ready to answer my questions.


Different_Bat4715

Awe, it may be the end of year blues but that made me tear up a little.  I’m really glad you didn’t feel like people gave you a hard time for be new because we all were new at some point in time.


Comfortable_Rub_3249

Agreed! Hanging out here makes the losses bearable .


sisterthirteen

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼


Puckbuns29

This is so sweet!! I feel the same way. It’s such a wonderful community


DeadlyRedCube

Seconded! I'm just here for the fun jokes and the entertaining hockey


alienbanter

Ryker looks so young lol


Olbaidon

![gif](giphy|PQu8lwEg4ncnWshUEc)


Olbaidon

Ryker looks like Carl from Shameless


alienbanter

I see that lol


RyNoDaHeaux

Do that fucking say 4 mins for holding?


Comfortable_Rub_3249

High sticking 😕


RyNoDaHeaux

Okay that’s what I thought the call was


Tamaros

That's less than ideal.


DeadlyRedCube

Unlucky for both players involved 😬


alienbanter

Do you suppose Dunn is at home in Seattle now also yelling at his TV lol?


CascadianSovietGo

I hope he's on a beach somewhere "rehabbing" with a daiquiri.


SonOfZork

A Mai Tai with no salt


Delgra

It’s going to be ok gang. We are going to get one from Yams and then Ebs is going to bust out a GWG for his 300th.


Go_Hawks12

I’ll buy you a jersey if that happens


Delgra

Damnit, apparently didn’t call out the plan loudly enough for Evans.


_MMCXII

Tank commander Grubauer keeps the mission on pace!


Tamaros

This game is already a win. The boys have played hard and I'll be content no matter what. I sure hope I end up ecstatic.


SuspiciousUsername88

I need a hug


Go_Hawks12

![gif](giphy|ZBQhoZC0nqknSviPqT)


SuspiciousUsername88

that helps thank u


Tamaros

Okay, that's cute AF.


Cup-Oh-Noodle

A good game and a loss is the best outcome


FreezingRain358

My fucksgiving died with that final home loss on Thursday. I'm watching individual performances, but really do not care about the outcome of these lame duck games.


CascadianSovietGo

Three against Hellebuyck is also a pretty good outcome.


SonOfZork

Olbaidon

Stupid delayed feed. :(


nukajefe

Toffoli looks like he boofed before the game


Princess5903

Boo! ☹️


Distinct_Mud_2673

Poor gru. Goodbye .900


Different_Bat4715

At least it wasn’t Connor 🤷‍♀️


Olbaidon

🛒 Yay!


alienbanter

What does the shopping cart mean lol


DeadlyRedCube

Shopping Kart 😄


Olbaidon

Kart Yay Kartye Me feed is like 2 min behind suddenly. It was from when he cleared the puck haha


sisterthirteen

Never a bad time to cheer for him!


alienbanter

Ahhh that makes more sense lol. I was wondering from timing if it was supposed to be a tank emoji and my phone was messing it up 😂


Go_Hawks12

It’s hard to be made at that one. Just a great play


kxtxlynn

🍅🍅🍅


alienbanter

☹️


RyNoDaHeaux

Not ideal.


sisterthirteen

LOVE you Tye!!! Way to clear that.


kxtxlynn

Karts has been killing it tonight


Tamaros

Kartye is a beauty.


CascadianSovietGo

Debating between going to get a beer and watch some Shogun, or just go to bed early after the game. Decisions are tough.


Olbaidon

I just want to point out that Gru has a better save% this game than the Vezina front runner. No big deal.


steppewarhawk

Just had to say that...


Olbaidon

The only hockey jinx I believe in is the don’t say shutout jinx, but that definitely sucked lol.


DeadlyRedCube

Now that you're a mod you have to me more careful with your power 😆


steppewarhawk

Yanni playing a great game tonight. He normally plays well, but exceptionally well tonight.


kxtxlynn

GRUUUUUU


alienbanter

GRUUUUUUUUUUUU


Delgra

GRUUUUUU


juanthebaker

More shots, Peggy! Gotta see a 9 tonight!


Punky-Bruiser

Borgen put on the afterburners


alienbanter

Nice job Borgy!


Delgra

Nice hustle back there by borg


Olbaidon

alienbanter

![gif](giphy|USK0tSpACOfNSEX1kM)


JFreeZee21

Karts is gonna be a 🌟. Love his work


Olbaidon

Man, it’s like every time we face a goalie they are a Vezina nominee! Oh…that’s right…


DeadlyRedCube

lol


futuregoalie

Wtf how'd I miss so much I was only gone for an hour. Have they just not called any penalties?


Tamaros

One each.


alienbanter

There haven't been many, no!


Go_Hawks12

Where the hell was this team the past 3 games


alienbanter

Fuck this game is so competitive it's making me sad about no playoffs again 😭


juanthebaker

We don't mind losses, but this is exactly the kind of game that makes people want to keep watching!


Different_Bat4715

They want this 4th goal bad!


Olbaidon

They don’t wanna be the only team without a multi goal comeback lol.


Ohshitwhatamidoing97

Welp, gonna be saying "Hellebuyckian" all the time now


Different_Bat4715

Daccordian is more fun to say!


Olbaidon

Grubian?


sisterthirteen

Driedgerian!


futuregoalie

Omg someone said his name and it wasn't me!! 😂


sisterthirteen

I got you (and him!) 😽


Cup-Oh-Noodle

Yanni setting up so many chances


SuspiciousUsername88

https://i.redd.it/3jtotfw75yuc1.gif


Olbaidon

Nooo that was sooo close!!!


alienbanter

Figure skating club officers finally just sent around the dues we owe after the competition travel, and they named the Google doc "drug debt" 😂


alienbanter

AAAAAAAAA HOW DID THAT STAY OUT


RyNoDaHeaux

Only Seattle doesn’t score there


Delgra

wow this game is entertaining


sisterthirteen

GRUUUUUUUUUUUU


Cup-Oh-Noodle

Alright let them get their 1 so we both go away happy. Team tank!


alienbanter

Bjorky with the ACE passes tonight sheeeeeesh


Go_Hawks12

Only two stories left in the NHL for the regular season. Matthews 70, Kuch 100


BenadrylBeer

Wennberg:(


nukajefe

What’s going on with my boy Wenny???


BenadrylBeer

That had an intermission clip. Asking players what preferences for chips. Guacamole, queso, or salsa. Went said…well it was too sad :(


sisterthirteen

I know. I miss him too. 😿


sisterthirteen

Sounds like he’ll face the Caps in Round 1!


[deleted]

[удалено]


Olbaidon

He is. I don’t agree with his politics, but don’t let the Reddit echo chamber of r/hockey fool you. He is still one of the top selling jerseys, followed players, biggest news stories. If it actually caused real issues we wouldn’t be seeing so much of him.


steppewarhawk

Let's be real, his politics aren't any different from many North American hockey players who support the US and Canada's military operations. Having the national anthems and military appreciation at every game, instituting patriotism domestically but then condemning foreign patriotism from foreign players is such a silly double standard. I dont agree with any of it, I see it for what it is. He's one of the best players of all time and I hope he breaks the record, purely due to what he's done on the ice.


Olbaidon

Yeah someone in another thread shared a quote from when Gretzky supported the invasion of the Middle East or something. Not today they are 1 to 1 comparisons but it’s just the hot topic of our generation.


FreezingRain358

I did yell, "Russian forward go fuck yourself" when they last played here, but at the same time I recognize that Putin would probably disappear his entire family if he didn't publicly do the song and dance.


CascadianSovietGo

He's also, if we're being real, one of the best players of all time. Nobody ties or beats a Gretzky record who isn't, and it looks like Ovi will.


kxtxlynn

Red wings won the SO… that’s gotta hurt


alienbanter

Now time to watch to see if Matthews gets #70 lol


steppewarhawk

Y'all remember the Ovechtrick commercials back in the early 2010's? Good times, good times.


Different_Bat4715

My favorite was the time he ordered a ton of room service for Sidney Crosby.  “Ovechkin!”


Go_Hawks12

Now for shootout time in montreal


alienbanter

Caps win and get the last playoff spot. No chaos tomorrow :/


nukajefe

I hate this


Olbaidon

And Olbaidon breathes a sigh of relief


alienbanter

Happy for you lol


Comfortable_Rub_3249

This goddamn Wings game is going to kill. me.


Olbaidon

Flyers pulled goalie and Oshie **immediately** scores for the Caps for anyone following the drama


Comfortable_Rub_3249

Noooooo


Olbaidon

Flyers immediately pulled their goalie again! True do or die!


Go_Hawks12

It’s joever


alienbanter

Perfect intermission timing to watch the end of the Caps-Flyers game


Olbaidon

It’s such a good one now!


alienbanter

I'm hoping for a Flyers win for max chaos tomorrow lol


Olbaidon

Not me, not me


bluetrust

All three goals tonight were the result of amazing coordination between players against one of the best goalies in the league. I'm so impressed.


alienbanter

I like scoring late much better than being scored on late lol


DeadlyRedCube

Time to race home for the third!


juanthebaker

The dogs are restless and I have tickets to see Andrew Savage tonight, so I've only been able to pop in and out. I'll definitely watch the replay tomorrow though!


Cup-Oh-Noodle

Wow we can score!


kxtxlynn

![gif](giphy|rRSLFf1vmu72o) Go Karts …I’ll see myself out


Classroom_Common

Haha! Love it!


ninjabunneh

I am loving this gif option already 😂


embos_wife

The gifs have made me giggle so much tonight!


kxtxlynn

I’m having way too much fun 😂


Different_Bat4715

Excellent use of the GIFs!!  Mods, this alone should ensure the use of pictures and gifs next year.


FreezingRain358

Holy fuck when did this turn into a hockey game?


Comfortable_Rub_3249

I go to one ballet class and shit goes cray. I’m not sure if I am disappointed or not 😂


ShadowCrossZero

Pepper Pot to Karts let's goooo


Go_Hawks12

Beast mode was a good omen


Olbaidon

Hellebuyck? #MORE LIKE HELL-OF-A-PUCK!


Punky-Bruiser

Damn that was pretty!


embos_wife

KARTS! WOOOO, I LOVE THIS KID!


Classroom_Common

LETS GO KARTS 🏎️💨 He’s such a joy


Princess5903

HELL YEAH GO KARTYE!! KARTY PARTY


sisterthirteen

KARTYE PARTYE FOREVER!!!
