35 year old trying to become a bucket hat guy

I think the thing that pisses me off the most about Florida choking away a 3-0 lead is that if they lose I believe they will take the title of most pathetic franchise in NHL history away from the Canucks and Sabres. We can’t even have that anymore!

That's right, the Sabres have never lost a game 7 of a Stanley Cup final (because they were eliminated before that could happen at least twice)

The Panthers are too "who gives a shit" to qualify imo. Feel like a franchise that exists to make sure the total number of teams in the league was an even number.

We sent Okposo and Reinhart to Florida, and the Sabres influence is clear

1994/2011 and the Hull goal were obviously brutal, and both franchises have the longevity argument in their favour, but getting to the finals two years in a row and losing both of them - with one of them being arguably the most crushing loss in sports history - beats that IMO

This is Sharks erasure. Being consistently great for way over a decade with no cup along with a reverse sweep tossed in is worse than just being a bad team for a long time. These last few years as a Sharks fan have been great. Zero emotional investment at all in them because they're just so bad.

Even if they win, I still won’t know what town they play in.

if the reverse sweep happens you should do "Oilers Night" on GoK, where you have to pretend to be a "long-suffering" Oilers fan who finally got to see them win it all and experience it

I loved Luongo as a Canuck but I'm also hoping to keep it out of his hands this year. Sorry Lou, we got Stu

It's always seemed weird to me that Florida has an NHL team. Of course, in order to be climate-appropriate, I guess they'd have to be a water polo team.

Nah, the Sabres still suck more. Two Stanley Cup visits and decades of futility far outweigh you guys. You're a bit more like the Buffalo Bills. Almost, but not quite, there. Long suffering Buffalo sports fan here.

Florida being the recipients of the beat down the only times 8 goals have been scored in Cup Finals games in the last 30 years (96, 23, 24 a.k.a their only Final appearances) also qualifies them for this I think.
