    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    I'm going to give us an outside chance. It's weird with the Olympic break, but Caps are 6-1-0 in their last 7 games. Getting Dubois back was a big help.

    It's kind of wild, but Peyton ended up 3-2 against Brady in the playoffs when it was all said and done. Does not "feel" that way thinking about them v each other in the playoffs, but that's mostly b/c Denver's D carried so hard later on. I'd go Brady, Montana, Mahomes, Peyton, Rodgers. I...

    Of course. It's like the "we were the better team" whining. As if all of these guys haven't watched their goalies steal games every so often over and over. How many whole playoff series end up going to the team that's getting dominated in possession because their goalie was on acid for 4-7...

    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    Not commenting on who's going to win either way. Even back in the quarterfinals when we had 3 of the 4 games go to OT involving 6 teams I was against it being decided 3 on 3 in OT then. It's fine for group stages and NHL regular season. When the games are elimination games in the...

    Believe me, I agree 3 on 3 in the elimination rounds is not the way to go. But agreed obviously everyone knew it was that way going in.

    Actually thought Matthews made some solid defensive plays today in what could have been some big moments. It is funny, though.

    Loved they paid homage to Holtby's save v Vegas in Game 2 of the 2018 Finals being so similar to this. Forever known in Caps land as The Save. He'll be hanging this picture over his mantle.

    Clearly if Canada played Logan Thompson in goal, they win this game 1-0.

    Yeah for all the talk about the saves, that was a straight up miss. Also the extended 5 on 3 they had in the 2nd.

    Actually thought Barrett's backstory was done much better with the extra cutscenes we got explaining the full betrayal of Shinra, and just watching his old hometown treat him like complete shit came through a lot more in Rebirth than in OG. The actual Dyne part I can understand some misgivings...

    I actually agree with a lot of this, other than I like Remake quite a bit, even if the sidequests and limited Midgar exploration wasn't exactly what I wanted from an expanded Part 1 set in Midgar. But completely agree Rebirth took everything to 11 and was just fantastic in just about every...

    Hit the nail on the head. The shit Kraft was quoted recently as saying about expanding to 18 games, and every team playing at least 1 international game are obvious tells. New fans in the US are so few, but the international market could be something they could conceivably grow quite a bit...

    Damn. Finding out Adam Peters really wanted McDonald to be Commanders head coach 2 years ago when he got hired, but McDonald wanted to work with an experienced GM. Seattle might have gotten a great one.

    I don't get all the hoopla over this shit, especially after the actual game. Anyone who wasn't just happy from a break of seeing both teams' punters by halftime is a fucking liar.

    Well, I still think Maye has a hell of a career ahead of him, but the hype can die down a little now. Charmed run to the SB but couldn't get a pass there. Both of these teams will be good again next year and in the mix. Denver of course will always have a what if Bo Nix didn't get hurt...

    Yeah I heard rumors he was wanting an extension with total value of $50M. 2 x 11 seems very reasonable. Wonder if the kid is regressing b/c his playing partner last year in Juniors Ilya Protas has graduated to the AHL for the Caps. Also didn't initially hear Rags ate 50%. Kings win this...

    Any dropped snap, weird hand off that gets fumbled (often gets credited on the QB), etc. Plus all normal fumbles that your own team gets back.

    That fumbles stat is wrong. He has 15 career fumbles in the playoffs, he's only lost 4 of them.

    I actually think Maye's potential is super high for his career, but this may be one of the most charmed runs to a SB appearance I've ever seen.

    I think they actually reviewed this, too. Just goes to show they need to figure out how to not let refs fuck it up and keep it consistent.

    I'll say this, a Ravens fan buddy showed me this and was laughing about the difference b/c refs bailed out Rodgers with this call during their 1st game (I think it was the fist) this year.

    This all with the benefit of one of the crazier/luckier TD's to even give them the option of the two point. Not hating on the play/throw...Caleb doing the max of what he could do running that far back. Just unreal to ever let that ball get over your head as the DB in coverage there. He was...

    Regular season record is fine. His D has underperformed in playoffs, though. Especially relative to their ranking each year. I know it's the thing to blame Allen for their loss, but their D gave up 30+ again in a playoff loss. Both playoff games this year their team blew leads with under 5...
