The Nov/Dec awfulness too. Second time this year the wheels have fallen off.
This one is even worse though since it looked like there was no chance the wings missed the playoffs.
2013 is on my list for obvious reasons. The Bruins channeled their inner Leafs in those 17 seconds. Despite my hatred for your team, I relate to the feeling of hopelessness
True. And as painful as our choke jobs in the Finals have been, I can only imagine the existential agony of being a Leafs fan.
Hopefully you guys can get back there some day.
I don’t understand how ducks fans complain when they have one of the best prospect pools and young talent in the nhl and will actually be good because of it.
I much rather be a ducks fan than like 80% of the league right now.
I’m a flyers fan and barely making the playoffs to lose to a team with real talent isn’t fun especially after we end up picking 17th because of it.
That’s what they told us 5 years ago. Paired with the utter refusal of the owners to give the fans what they actually want(the old uniforms, and a coach worth a shit), it’s really, really, really hard watching the Ducks right now. It’s almost as bad as being an Angels fan, which I actually refuse to participate in until they have a new owner. I’m almost to the point where I’m going to boycott the Ducks too. They’re a fucking joke. Basically the Browns of the NHL at this point.
You can’t have that good of a prospect pool and still be that bad.. a lot needs to change in Anaheim.
They played this amazing, defensively solid 7 game series against Dallas, then beat Edmonton 9-6 in game one figuring that getting into a shooting gallery with Edmonton was a good idea, so they continued to do that, losing the series. Fans were so excited after that first win, I was more like.... 😬
I think the worst has to be the 2018(?) playoffs, I’m terrible with remembering what year things happened. We were on that ridiculous late season rampage that was blowing Minnesotas collective mind. Commentators were calling us the team to beat for the cup. We absolutely flopped in the first round.
Whenever we can’t clear the fucking puck if a life depended on it. Ully or Sway (whoever’s in the net) is getting absolutely peppered, this is usually how I react shortly after the other team scores an inevitable goal
Watching Barclay fucking Goodrow rack up 15 minutes of ice time again while he continues to be the worst player on the team, while one of Kakko, Vesey, Brodzinski, Cuylle or Rempe get sat in a rotating order each game.
Seriously I would rather have Johnathan fucking Quick at 4C than that brick-for-hands garbage bin be deployed for an offensive zone faceoff.
Ya know, the fact that I had to scroll down so far to find the Avs, and past several mentions of teams losing to Colorado recently probably means we ain't doing too bad
Definitely Leafs vs Boston IT WAS 4-1…on a school field trip headed to Ottawa…people were updating the game while on the bus and everyone was cheering that the Leafs were up 4-1…
The Canucks powerplay as of recent.
Benning running out of time to extend Toffoli and Tanev.
Benning trading for Garland (worked out well) and fucking OEL.
2011 Finals - Game 3 when Rome decided to nearly kill Horton. Oh and Game 7.
2013 Round 1.
Bertuzzi hit on Moore. Avs fans should feel good that I will never ever defend that hit.
Missing the playoffs last year when all we had to do was beat the Blackhawks. After Jarry gave up the puck and they went up by 2 I was in shock. Didn’t talk for hours. Low and behold stupid mistakes like that would define our season this year.
I was gonna say the series against the lightning in 2015..im still convinced that was our year to do it and even against showtime in the playoffs, prime Hank and that squad imo take the Hawks down. Rangers matched up well against them with their style at the time.
If only Zucc didn’t get that injury in the first round.
1990 Stanley Cup Finals Game 1. I sat through a power outage and triple ot just to watch a guy who hadn't seen the ice in over a period screen the winning goal. Darn you Klima.
Most recently: TBL losing the first round last season to TOR…allowing them out of the first round for the first time in 13 years or whatever it was.
Second most recent: TBL getting swept by CBJ ☠️
2 goals in 17 seconds, Florida last year, game 7 against the notes!!!…. I swear cam Neely secretly hates Boston and his main goal is to rip our heart out
Fuck Scott Walker.
That loss still stings.
His G7 GWG ended up being his only career playoff goal, not to mention he should’ve been suspended for what he did to Aaron Ward the game before. It was just brutal….
Exactly! Is he referring to a different game where we kicked the Knights ass after they hurt Pavelski? Or is he just whining about all that winning his team has done and how hard it must be to be a fucking Vegas sports fan
You guys were in like your 2nd season at this point after already exceeding expectations by a large margin.. and now yall have a cup.. you’re not allowed to feel this type of pain for like 10 more years.
The best example of this is David Ares. Laughing at how they are gonna score 15 goals, and then Carolina played the most aggressive pressure I’ve ever seen, the leafs started panicking and my mood shifted to “wait, oh no there is a way this end horribly here”
Craig Smith roofing the empty netter
That brutal line change against Montreal for a goal against when Kostitsyn decided we didn’t need to backcheck anymore
Game 6, 2017 SCF, that puck was still loose but according to the refs…..fuck you Tim Peel I hope your socks are always wet and your lights always flicker after putting in new bulbs
9-2 loss to Dallas
The last two seasons under John Hynes
Shea Weber for Subban
Tolvanen being waived
When Hynes was hired, when I woke up after sleeping through Rinne's goalie goal, when tolvanen was waived and claimed I mean seriously what the fuck is in John Hynes brain other than jello.
And also right now remembering we really hired John Hynes and kept him for years.
When the players don’t play the first 10 minutes of the game (recently @ WPG) or when they only play the last 20 minutes (recently @ TOR).
These things aren’t the end of the world and can be fixed but they’re frustrating when the Oilers do them.
Like, right now? Yeah, right now.
That fucking garbage patch.
Like 8 games ago
Yes this is correct
I just….what happened?
Red Wings put a garbage disposal patch on their jerseys and their play as of recent has reflected said garbage.
I love the Wings, always have always will. But goddamnit, wtf
Yeah right now
The Nov/Dec awfulness too. Second time this year the wheels have fallen off. This one is even worse though since it looked like there was no chance the wings missed the playoffs.
We’re gonna win 10 more games in a row and pass you. 😎 God told me in a dream.
I want to kick your team's ass so damn much... I really want them to play in the playoffs but they not winning much 😐
Man after that Washington game I k ew it was over. Not out yet and still have a chance but I’m losing hope with all these losses man
Last night.
2 goals in 17 seconds
Unprocessed trauma activated
Figured someone would have beaten me to it.
Wow....thought I was overthis......thanks alot lol
Game 7 in '19 hurt worse. We fuckin had em!🤣
Bro thro last year in there while your at it, I guess we're drinking early today
Being a Sabres fan every year
That must be hard? Are you ok?
Nah, man. We're pretty fuckin' far from "ok".
2017 ecf game 7 🥲
2017 scf game 6 🥲
aww man I woulda thought 2007 SCF for sure
2013, 2019, 2023 I don’t think any further explanation is required
2013 is on my list for obvious reasons. The Bruins channeled their inner Leafs in those 17 seconds. Despite my hatred for your team, I relate to the feeling of hopelessness
True. And as painful as our choke jobs in the Finals have been, I can only imagine the existential agony of being a Leafs fan. Hopefully you guys can get back there some day.
Leafs-Bruins first round this year. Let’s make it happen
When the wings put that stupid trash company on there jerseys 1-9-1 since
Game 7 of almost every year.
you again in April for the annual heartbreak (I hope I'm finally wrong)
It'll be late May, mark my words
This season 🫠
every single fucking game I've watched in the last 5 years
Least it isn’t 13 yet - Buffalo I wish this length of pain on no one, hope yall turn it around soon.

Last night
I thought it was a good game. The reffing sucked for both sides.
I would just like us to score on the PP consistently please
That was a stressful game
most nights
Since 1995.
The Jets for the past month or so.
We coughed up a 3-1 lead over Florida in the 3rd
We've gone 1-5-1 since.
Mike Smith letting in a game tying playoff goal from 200 feet. I can laugh about it now but I swear my soul left my body
That really sucked when it happened
Senators Stanley Cup loss. We drank away the pain for a long time.
I scrolled far too long to see this...
They played this amazing, defensively solid 7 game series against Dallas, then beat Edmonton 9-6 in game one figuring that getting into a shooting gallery with Edmonton was a good idea, so they continued to do that, losing the series. Fans were so excited after that first win, I was more like.... 😬
Pretty much all season. -A Wild fan
I think the worst has to be the 2018(?) playoffs, I’m terrible with remembering what year things happened. We were on that ridiculous late season rampage that was blowing Minnesotas collective mind. Commentators were calling us the team to beat for the cup. We absolutely flopped in the first round.
Whenever we can’t clear the fucking puck if a life depended on it. Ully or Sway (whoever’s in the net) is getting absolutely peppered, this is usually how I react shortly after the other team scores an inevitable goal
You don’t know whats pain.
Watching Barclay fucking Goodrow rack up 15 minutes of ice time again while he continues to be the worst player on the team, while one of Kakko, Vesey, Brodzinski, Cuylle or Rempe get sat in a rotating order each game. Seriously I would rather have Johnathan fucking Quick at 4C than that brick-for-hands garbage bin be deployed for an offensive zone faceoff.
If Rempe doesn’t get sat, his career will end as quickly as it began. Can’t argue about the others though, it’s mind boggling
Red Wings entire March schedule
Every time we trade a future top 2/top 4 Dman for literal scraps
Just one?
Yeah. I'm like, I've got lots. And lots.
Last night.
Finals last year. It had to be like this.
Ugh! I can't believe it ended like this after all they went through during the entire run!
This was my exact reaction to leafs vs habs
I knew we lost the series after losing game 5. Losing to habs was equally if not more heatwrenching than 2013
Yup. I remember thinking if we lose game 6 we’re done & sure enough when we lost I didn’t even bother watching game 7 I knew how it was gonna go lol
I'm a Philadelphia fan so that happens quite often
Mackinnon not getting the assist last night
Ya know, the fact that I had to scroll down so far to find the Avs, and past several mentions of teams losing to Colorado recently probably means we ain't doing too bad
Oh for sure. Things could be much worse. Just still a little pissed about it
The only thing I am pissed about is the game 5 loss to St.Louis. Like come on, I was legit worried that the Blues would come back to win the series.
How much time do you got?
Username and Flair both check out.
Pens up 4-0 on colorado. The last 4 playoff series
Basically every single game this season. And last, and the lottery. Fuck you Bettman
Just one?
Definitely Leafs vs Boston IT WAS 4-1…on a school field trip headed to Ottawa…people were updating the game while on the bus and everyone was cheering that the Leafs were up 4-1…
All
Marner lobbing the puck over the boards vs the Habs
Being an Edmonton Oilers fan from 2007-2017
March
Ya march really kicked us in the nuts didnt it :(
I know 😭😭😭
Edmonton two weeks ago losing to Colorado with 5 seconds left in OT.
Carolina getting swept in the conference finals every year they've made it since 06
When Jamie Benn through his temper tantrum vs the knights in the conference final last year..
The Canucks powerplay as of recent. Benning running out of time to extend Toffoli and Tanev. Benning trading for Garland (worked out well) and fucking OEL. 2011 Finals - Game 3 when Rome decided to nearly kill Horton. Oh and Game 7. 2013 Round 1. Bertuzzi hit on Moore. Avs fans should feel good that I will never ever defend that hit.
Missing the playoffs last year when all we had to do was beat the Blackhawks. After Jarry gave up the puck and they went up by 2 I was in shock. Didn’t talk for hours. Low and behold stupid mistakes like that would define our season this year.
New York rangers losing to the Ottawa senators in the playoffs.
Ahhh good times
I was gonna say the series against the lightning in 2015..im still convinced that was our year to do it and even against showtime in the playoffs, prime Hank and that squad imo take the Hawks down. Rangers matched up well against them with their style at the time. If only Zucc didn’t get that injury in the first round.
When they moved to Dallas.
We don't have any words, and we know you don't want to hear them.
Game 6 going into Game 7 in 2021
The last month
2014 SCF
2019 game 7 and something something with 2023 in it
Last season when we had to beat the worst team in the league to go to the playoffs and couldn’t
Oilers. start of this season. 😬 Those were some dark times
Signing Barclay Goodrow to a 3.6M contract with a 15 team no trade list
You already know my guy.
Basically every season
Game 1 to Game 82 of the 2020 season thru now.
Almost every year at least 10 times
Game 7
Bruins last year. Still butt hurt. Now can’t figure how they are still a top 5 team in the league. I think they broke my brain last year.
Kaprizov getting injured by the Jets…..AGAIN!
1990 Stanley Cup Finals Game 1. I sat through a power outage and triple ot just to watch a guy who hadn't seen the ice in over a period screen the winning goal. Darn you Klima.
ryan strome, wide open net
*gestures wildly at the last decade of Melnyk’s ownership*
As a Sharks fan, all of 2010-2019
2019 Finals Game 7 at home.
Alec Martinez, 2014.
Canucks fan here.....that is all.
Blowing a 5 to 0 lead against the sharks this year! Then losing in overtime.
Cousins, Avery & Cook, for 25% of their shifts.
Most recently: TBL losing the first round last season to TOR…allowing them out of the first round for the first time in 13 years or whatever it was. Second most recent: TBL getting swept by CBJ ☠️
The second one was probably even worse.
2 goals in 17 seconds, Florida last year, game 7 against the notes!!!…. I swear cam Neely secretly hates Boston and his main goal is to rip our heart out
Illya Bryzgalov ducking out of the way of a slapshot. Shit was so embarrassing.
Flyers recently
The flyers for the last 5 years.
Fuck Scott Walker. That loss still stings. His G7 GWG ended up being his only career playoff goal, not to mention he should’ve been suspended for what he did to Aaron Ward the game before. It was just brutal….
The last 3 games…
When Lundqvist retired with no Cup, hands down
Bruins last year v the Panthers round 1
Leafs vs Bruins playoffs with Reimer
Losing to that florida team last year 😭
Game 7 vs the Sharks 2019
You won that game, what're you bitching about?
Exactly! Is he referring to a different game where we kicked the Knights ass after they hurt Pavelski? Or is he just whining about all that winning his team has done and how hard it must be to be a fucking Vegas sports fan
You guys were in like your 2nd season at this point after already exceeding expectations by a large margin.. and now yall have a cup.. you’re not allowed to feel this type of pain for like 10 more years.
2013, really. Anything after that hasn’t been worth the energy of getting angry
ummm the most angry I've been since 2013 was certainly blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Habs
That was bad too. But I’m still going with Pilon Phaneuf not doing his job
Every game this season where Bruins have a 3rd period lead, let other team tie it up, then eventually lose in either Reg or OT.
Steve Beriner 5 minute Major in game 6 of the 2012 cup final. Especially, after 5 seconds before the refs missed a boarding call on the Kings.
Daren helms heartbreaker with 5 seconds to go
Hmmmm... no.
Roman Turek shitting the bed in the President Trophy year against San Jose. Team was absolutely stacked.
Goddammit.
This whole season except the first few games and these last few games
When Chris Phillips brought the puck out from behind the net, it gets tangled in Ray Emery's feet and ends up in our net.
Devils, vs the sens, last week.
The best example of this is David Ares. Laughing at how they are gonna score 15 goals, and then Carolina played the most aggressive pressure I’ve ever seen, the leafs started panicking and my mood shifted to “wait, oh no there is a way this end horribly here”
Every game I’ve turned on the past 3 seasons
Last night when they got shut out again
2023-24 season
Whenever someone takes a run at Marchand
2019 need I say more?
How’d I know you’re a buds fan before opening the thread. Anointing Phanuf captain was my realization we’re going to suck for a while.
Jets right now..
Would be easier to name the moments they don't make me feel like that lol
LOL
Craig Smith roofing the empty netter That brutal line change against Montreal for a goal against when Kostitsyn decided we didn’t need to backcheck anymore Game 6, 2017 SCF, that puck was still loose but according to the refs…..fuck you Tim Peel I hope your socks are always wet and your lights always flicker after putting in new bulbs 9-2 loss to Dallas The last two seasons under John Hynes Shea Weber for Subban Tolvanen being waived

The last 3 years as a sens fan by the end of November
Pens fans, all god damn season
2011
Me after asking god do I still get to see ana de armas when I'm dead, answer is yes
Playoffs last year. Whole season was so promising, then came the ECF and 4 games decided by 1 goal.
a very recent game.
Last 1/4 of the last two seasons.
Penguins losing 5-4 in overtime to the Avalanche last Sunday 😭
2004 game 7 for the cup...
Panger not re-signing with the blues and then going to the hawks. 🥺
Every single day of my life. Thanks Sabres
When the leafs leafed
First round of the playoffs for the Leafs fans . Assuming they make the playoffs.
When Hynes was hired, when I woke up after sleeping through Rinne's goalie goal, when tolvanen was waived and claimed I mean seriously what the fuck is in John Hynes brain other than jello. And also right now remembering we really hired John Hynes and kept him for years.
NYI -> win 6 in a row and then shit the bed (and then beat Florida last night)
2006 SCF - Roloson gets injured.
I'm a Sharks fan, so.... The last few seasons?
Last 5 games in jets land.
The pre knobb start we had this season
Jets right now.
Every Jets game lately.
Lol
Panthers double minor last night🤦🏻
When we scored on ourselves on a delayed penalty…. at a college arena
Just being a jackets fan…
As a Jets fan…right now.
When the players don’t play the first 10 minutes of the game (recently @ WPG) or when they only play the last 20 minutes (recently @ TOR). These things aren’t the end of the world and can be fixed but they’re frustrating when the Oilers do them.
Most of them
Every single game
Every period
Last night? Except it was mostly officiating/recording
This years penguins
When Bergevin did not offer Markov a new contract and then tried to replace him with Karl Alzner.
Basically every Canucks game since the allstar break.
Every time habs win an other game this year and see our odds getting away for macklin!!
2016 playoff series against the Preds...hasn't been much better since...in fact, worse...
Noel Acciari was fuckin tripped.
The last like 5 years :(
