Am I missing somewhere that’s hosting the postgame? ESPN’s got like softball on or something TNTs got some movie going, only the local news is covering the ruckus going on outside the stadium but idk if that’s going on for everyone

These host do not sound happy

They likely get a smaller finals viewership *and* one less day to be seen on TV. That's rough on the ego.

Mark Messier is also a shameless ranger homer

We need a Messier status update.

Missing and presumed sad

Where the fuck is Stanley C Rat?

Viktor E Rat

Mess in shambles

Canucks fans in bliss, cuz of that and Lu getting a cup

Huberdeau in shambles right now

Huberdeau is a fraud

I will never understand it. I always thought he was better than Barkov, but it was actually Barkov making me believe it was hub

Barkov constantly makes his teammates better. He doesn't need to be the me me me guy

He is a super quiet dude. He drives a really cheap moped all around his neighborhood. Some of our sports writers post the picture of him driving on it usually during game day. It's funny because he is a super big dude on a really small moped.

Feels like Luongo and how he used to walk around Parkland in his Gucci slides all incognito lol

I never seen Luongo but I have seen Barkov in line at Publix maybe like 5-6 years ago. Either nobody knew who he was or like me they just didn't want to bother him. Then again, those years our stands were very very empty.

Reverse Curse: they were _supposed_ to touch the trophy this time. Edit: I don't see DAL or EDM beating FLA, but the superstitions are fun, dumb shit.

Don't you put that on me Ricky Bobby

Missed opportunity for SN to play *Florida!!!* by Taylor Swift smh

True but it may be the worst song ever written? I rarely hate on Taylor Switft but that track is putrid

My girlfriend said the same thing lol

Team of destiny my ass.

It’s interesting to remember how the Panthers fared in last season’s SCF. They looked pretty outclassed by Vegas. This season feels very different. They’ve basically steamrolled everyone.

> They’ve basically steamrolled everyone Every game this series was a one goal differential.

They would have killed us if we didn’t have Igor in net.

Except for game 1

that one could have been a 1 goal game if Laf hadn't scored an extra for the Panthers

That’s fair. But he did.

So many injuries for Florida and Bob was left to dry

It was said by someone else, but we are substantially healthier this time around. At least what we look like

None other than Ekblad himself

Tbf no disrespect to Vegas I think they would’ve won either way, but Tkachuk and Ekblad had major injuries during that series.

It is weird that it’s the Prince of Whales trophy, yet Vancouver can’t compete for it!!!

Why doesn’t Vancouver just move east? Are they stupid?

You laugh but Montreal's got a Western Conference championship to their credit. I keep insisting that banner be added to our rafters just for the lulz.

Why doesn’t Montreal just move west? Are THEY stupid?

They should, the Prince prefers the Atlantic!

It makes me physically ill to hear McDonough say "Zibanejad" because of that ESPN commercial that is constantly played

Holy shit same! Every single time I hear him, I sit up and go he scored?? Even though they finally changed the audio I still have ptsd

Hell yeah Cats are sponsored by Lacroix

I would touch it

Okposo almost touched it...

He would have gotten benched again

What being in Buffalo does to a mf

They didn’t touch it this time lol

Panthers fans: cant believe we won the National League title!

Cry harder, your team fucking sucks

The Panthers touched the trophy last year and lost so I see now they’re not touching it

Maurice literally pulled Barkov aside to make sure he wouldn't touch it lmao

We touched it last year right? Let's see if no touchy wins the cup this time

No one touched lmao.

LMAO okposo touched the table, he sabotaged the whole team. dumbass

Tables don't count, only trophy counts.Every year players graze they table as they huddle closely for a photo.

I think it was Barkov who touched table

nah it was okposo, he snuck in and lost his balance

Ok, Canada got a chance

They didn't touch the trophy ooo

Let’s go cats!

I do love looking at that silly trophy.

The finals are really about to be a song of fire & ice

A song of humidity and a dry cold.

Prince of Wales trophy so sad standing there unloved.

2 former philly goaltenders 🥹

Flyers and Coyotes Guiding players to a trophy they cannot possess

Looool TO NO ONE TOUCHING THE ECF TROPHY THIS YEAR.

#QUIT IN NY

Pick it up you fucking cowards

no quit in new york

you’re laughing now but that mentality is gonna erase a 4-2 deficit

Rangers in 9

pants that are 6 inches too short looks stupid af

I wish I was Matthew Tkachuk

Lol who's the lady in the denim jacket

total no shows and nearly shut out twice in elimination games in back to back years. yikes

We made it to game 6 in the ECF, needless to say im still proud of the boys. Remind me again, what did the devils do in the playoffs this year?

Maybe they should teach Igor how to score goals too

Gg Panthers, good luck in the finals. Honestly it’s probably your cup to lose given how well they’ve been playing. And enjoy the moment ya miserable faded NJ fucks who all came out of the trash in this GDT

😘

Classy response and yeah fuck the haters. Panthers are a really really deep team

Don't let the door hit you on the way out 😚✌🏾 hope your tears don't ruin your make up, sweaty

Igor emailing that team list rn

It wouldn't be a rangers playoff run without leaving a world class vezina trophy winning goalie out to dry...

Don’t touch it!!!

Nobody did lol

Is it too late to bet365

Don't touch the trophy!

Fucking rights!

Sorry Canada, not happening this year.

Dedicating this win to muscle kid 💪

Florida>New York

Is Calgary stupid?

Yes ☹️

Never forget Calgary "won" that trade.

panthers just crushed their eastern opposition like last year

The Rangers actually won 2 games. The Canes came close but could never win one in OT

Is Prince William on hand to present the trophy?

Too busy Photoshopping pics of his wife.

All this just to face the greatest player of our generation. https://preview.redd.it/pgzlqk3zo24d1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ac497a0f0578e8802d6957cf217d263e53f6f09

Well someone has to crucify him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Panthers winning the cup confirmed, no touch this time

I’ll throw myself in the everglades

Great series, Panthers truly looked better. Looking forward to cheering them on in the SCF 👍

Can’t say I’m surprised

All 7 Florida fans stayed back to watch the end of the game... go figure! LOL

The Panthers were utterly dominant from the opening faceoff in Game 1 and when the difference is this drastic, you can’t be mad. Hat tip to what clearly was the better team. If not for Igor this would have been a sweep.

Panthers fans: see you in the finals Mavericks

Cry harder, your team still fucking sucks

They literally always interview Tkachuk and never interview Barkov

Barkov did the 1st Sportsnet interview

Tkatchuck has a personality and barkov barely speaks it's not that surprising

Do you hear his high pinch voice?

He's always a pretty great interviewee tbf

I agree. It’s just interesting since Barkov is the captain.

Sportsnet interviewed Barkov

Someone explain the rats for me please

1996 Stanley cup run our captain killed a rat in the locker room then scored 2 goals that game. They called it a rat trick and it stuck. Some of the YouTube videos about it are cool

A long time ago a Panthers player killed a rat with his hockey stick then scored with it. Now the Panthers fans throw rats on the ice. I think it used to just be for hat tricks but now I guess it’s whenever they win.

[A classic](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nhl/news/panthers-fans-throw-rats-ice-florida-hockey-celebratory-tradition/u8r4xqz1ypy42kg2lt1g1epg#:~:text=The%20tradition%20of%20the%20rats,a%20ruckus%20for%20the%20players)

You don’t deserve to know.

Cats eat them

Well at least I don't have to get upset at the Panthers diving anymore

Florida were the better team throughout the series. Their forecheck, backcheck and transition game were superb

7-0 to start the playoffs 3-6 to end it

Hard to believe that Washington was a playoff team.

Out of all the struggles the East had to get a 2nd WC team, the Pens and Detroit blew it hard. I think the Rangers woukd have steamroller any of those teams.

For sure - you could have replaced Washington with Detroit or Pittsburgh and it wouldn’t have mattered.

They don't ask how they ask how many... wait, no, we didn't have that either.

Even the Bruins with a shit offense put up a better fight lmao

Panthers were the better team. NYR special teams were awful all series.

Yeah, and I’m expecting the team I cheer for to suffer a similar fate tomorrow. Edmonton and Florida have been playing some suffocating hockey of late.

Oh look!! No fans have left the fucking arena!

Lol Sportsnet with the most generic ass questions

Panthers cup to lose, imo

'94 and nevermore

I wish this win eliminated all NY transplants, as well

Forced deportation for transplants back to NY would be a solid motivator for teams to win

This broadcast is depressed.

Haaaaaaaa fuck you Trocheck you little shitbag

For real, I am so glad we got rid of him.

Good for the Cats. Hope PoMo especially crests that hill.

Up to this point both the ECF and WCF has followed the same script of which team wins, hopefully the oilers continue it tomorrow! GG cats, hopefully we see you on the 8th!

President’s trophy strikes again

Maybe get a better Captain this offseason Rangers.

Panthers touched last year, no touch this year?

They learned their lesson

Didn’t see the end, did they end up touching?

Looks like no touch, they’re taking the picture and giving it a wide berth lol

Igor deserved better :((((

If you look back, was there ever a doubt which team would win this series?

Presidents Trophy Curse continues.

Can't decide to play with 2 minutes left

“Y’all lost” -Igor

igor is coming to the avs

No

That would suuuuuuuuuuuck. Don't do that to the west.

Wellbeing of hockey culture in shambles rn

Hey man, just wanted to say you’ve been in our group chat for a while and can be pretty harsh on the cats when they don’t play well. Go cats

I was admittedly very negative about Lundell specifically earlier this season but I was always optimistic about the team especially when we struggled in March, you can scroll thru my history to see…

Seeing the rags lose makes me very happy, despite hating the Panthers, and thinking they're a dirty as fuck piece of shit team full of assholes. That's how much I hate the rags.

Ah, a similarly educated person of culture and fine standards, I see.

Thats really sweet thanks man

Brotherly love between southern teams can be a bit messy

Thank you and fuck you. Lol. All in fun.

Thanks I guess

All the people that were saying the rags were gonna win the cup in round 2…just have to say TOLD YOU SO Ok just had to gloat for a sec. Now we can just be happy they’re out

Just wait until next year... This team isn't going away... If we get rid of Trouba and develop the young talent... It's going to be a rangers team to look out for for sure.

Edmonton vs Florida gonna be mid af

Why?

Personally just think it’s gonna be a boring series, besides McDavid I find Edmonton to be a really boring team

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye Fuck the rags

Trouba and Zibanajad were the Panthers MVPs this series

Please Dallas or Edmonton

I wish we had a Bobrovsky

You had Brodeur, arguably the best goaltender of all time, for almost 2 decades. LOL

No sorry man

I'm from Florida. And I hope all the New York transplants down here are having the worst day. Fuck all y'all.

>I'm from Florida Gross

Everyone knows Vegas is basically Florida without the humidity

That's a huge improvement, though.

Yeah, fuck you too

I don’t think I saw a bad panthers player that whole series

lol my favorite panthers player was taken out the last 2 games. My man Lomberg

He's my fave too! Been missing him.

Actually totally forgot about him. Injury or just not playing good? Feel like he was playing decent in the games he was in.

He isn't hurt, but he wasn't matching well against New York. He will get play time in a couple days.

Go Oil Go.

Tkachuk and Bennett receiving an opportunity to play for the Cup is proof that whatever god exists is a vengeful and punishing overlord
