I think they said ‘prior to these last two’ at the end there lol.

To be fair, Anaheim won on Thursday.

That was weak.

He sniped that. Great shot.

I honestly think they (and we as fans) may have underestimated Florida in that series- I even remember we had a thread here that went on for like two months heading into the playoffs that season talking about specifically wanting to play the Panthers. I remember being so irate leaving game 3 (the blown 3 goal lead game), I was barely able to form a coherent sentence lol. That series was an incredible OT Marty save in game 7 on our old friend John Madden away from being one of the biggest disasters in franchise history, but they held on and found a way, and the rest is history.

I’m not really arguing your Lou point, I’m arguing on behalf of that 2012 team. That run gets blown off as a ‘fluke’ entirely too often, when it really wasn’t.

I loved that run but we were one goal away from being sent home in game 6 and 7 in the first round And? They weren’t sent home. They nutted up and won.

It wasn’t really a fluke, that team had a 100 point regular season, and never had a chance to follow it up before Parise bolted. The ‘2012 was a fluke’ thing is just a lazy narrative to discredit what was a fantastic run by a good team (perpetuated mostly by Devils fans surprisingly enough, because Devils fans find the negative in literally everything)- it’s not like that team ever played together again after that.

I mean, it’s going to snow, but there’s probably gonna be just as much ice as snow. Out here in the boonies of Morris County, it’s supposed to start around 7.

He was an assistant with Minnesota for one season a couple of years ago, but he resigned because he said he missed his family and didn’t really wanna deal with the NHL grind.

One of the most underrated movies ever. Hilarious flick. 😂
