OT: Canes vs Bruins - Who you got?

[FartMan69]

So the stuffed animal attending a game and losing to Boston is the only connection to the Whalers. And one weirdo fan. Live life Hoser

Islanders > Pens 4-0
Hurricanes > Islanders 4-0
Bruins > Hurricanes 4-0

Looks to me like Boston is about to get swept in the finals.

 

[Adios]

The Hurricanes are not the Whalers. Should Atlanta hockey fans be supporting the Winnipeg Jets now?

The Hurricanes are actually embarrassing. Couldn't even get the hurricane warning flag right for 20+ years.

The Bruins are better than all those teams but, yeah, I do not like that stat heading into the finals.

I've been a fan of this franchise since the WHA days. I will always bleed green. It's a shame so many "fans" quit on this team.

Who quit on who?

Bruins fans, impressive work.

Overall, great depth on this team. The Johansson and Coyle trades along with Backes improved play has given this team 4 true lines.

Agreed. Very similar to the team that beat Vancouver for the Cup. Difficult to match up with those effective 3rd and 4th lines, and Bergeron is so strong defensively he doesn’t give up much when the first line is out.

The municipal loyalists quit on the team. Textbook casual fans. Makes sense that some of these casual fans have now become Bruins casual fans.

I don't think Fartman could be an ex-whaler fan turned Bruins guy. You can't be that obnoxious of a Boston fan without having put years into it or unless he's 25 and didn't know what it was like to lose?

I have no favorite NHL team, speaking for myself. If I do, it's reluctantly the Islander or the Devils.

Go support NC State.

I grew up in Central MA. The Whalers were cute.

The ad hominem garbage doesn't bother me. Keep trying.

Even Pucky loves the WhalerCanes.

The years have not been kind to Pucky as you cab see. Not only does will he show up at Canes games for an eightball, he'll give you a handy in the parking lot for a fin.

No, the dipstick owner quit on the fans.

Growing up in CT, the Whalers were then a failed-Boston WHA franchise demoted to a failing minor league city. Went to 1 game with free tickets, but some people around Hartford actually cared. Not so much to at all in CT’s then and now stronger hockey towns in New Haven and Fairfield counties.

Something you can't say about most people that grew up in Central MA.
