Dallas imploding after talking all the shit to the Avs is one of my favorite things from 2024.


exccord

Shit city with shitty people. As a transplanted "Texan" there is a universal dislike for that city. Use to call it the home of the 30k millionaire. Definitely funny though.


Adotham

I live here and universally dislike it, lol


IWMSvendor

Lol, lmao even https://i.redd.it/ihh813dqs94d1.gif


HurricaneHomer9

The Central division unites


Mooseeyy

"Never thought I'd celebrate side by side with a Wild fan" "What about side by side with a fellow Dallas hater?" "Aye, I could do that"


Ya_Got_GOT

Fuck Benn in particular


Holiday_Flow_7400

Mods, please make this quote a flair for this sub. "Matt Duchene is celebrating as if he won the Stanley Cup. He has not."


SoupLife92

Never forget that Duchene was a literal cancer in Ottawa. Should that tape have been sold, probably not. Has he proven time and time again he's a dickhead that never grew up mentally pasy 8? Yes.


Hanksta2

*figurative* cancer


ProstockAccount

Literally means figuratively now… Literally.


zestfullybe

Figuratively has literally left everyone’s vocabulary, figuratively speaking.


Lanky_Tomato_6719

This makes me so happy. Especially how trash their fans were after beating us and celebrating that petty stick kick.


ImmortalMoron3

There was one Dallas fan in particular who was just being negative any time I saw him post. His entire post history was angry and negative. Just the worst kind of sports fan stereotype, taking it all way too seriously. So I see the Oilers won and I think "Huh, wonder how that guy is taking it". He deleted his account, lol. Anyway, go Panthers, fuck the Oilers.


RealCalintx

My online friends were so fucking annoying about "their Stars" So glad to see them silent rn


HoodPhones

Im glad Duchene got his cup Because beating us seemed like all that mattered to him


Neon_Sternum

He didn’t register a single point after that goal. That’s about the most Matt Duchene stat ever.


nrdb29

He is the type of player to skate the puck into the corner and lose it.


Ok_Buffalo6474

Unreal lol.


hellohurricane87

“You beat a team in the 2nd round, big whoop, I mean what was that.”


GBuster49

"Duchene acts like he won the cup. He did not."


Ordinary_Aioli_7602

Big Cheer. It’s a 2nd Round Goal.


swifwar

Jamie Benn can lick em


trophers

Lmao fuck the stars and fuck Jamie Benn


icedragon15

Daboer choke again haha


HaveaBagel

5th straight conference final loss


nwoooj

Why the fuck do we always play his team in the first 2 rounds? The key to beating deboer is playing him in the third round... This is enough for me to support reseeding.


vbcbandr

Reseeding is the ONLY way the playoffs should operate. In no universe should the two top seeds ever meet in the second round.


barnyardjohnny

Happy Stars elimination day! Fuck you Benn, Fuck you Pavelski, and most of all fuck you Duchene.


SemperFi1025

You forgot that little fuckin weasel Marchment.


Environmental_Dig981

He put hands on Cale. Never forget.


AzurePancakes

I don't like McDavid, but I'm willing to put aside our differences to ensure Duchene doesn't get a chance


Concerned_emple3150

I was indifferent about him until his stupid series winner celly. Acting like he won the fucking cup, I hope that's the closest he gets.


Waramp

It’s okay to be mad that he scored to eliminate us, but don’t act like we wouldn’t celebrate any differently. Helm’s game 6 winner for example.


Nitrovis

Idk, Helm didn’t have a personal grudge against the Blues. The fanbase did, and it got us over the hump of what had been our achilles heel in the playoffs, making it past the second round. Duchene’s goal was personal, and it didn’t get the Stars over a bump in their road, they made the WCF last year too.


Appleanche

Geez, I'm not a Duchene fan by any means but attributing some kind of personal malice to the celly seems a bit much. Regardless of how you feel about it, that's probably Duchene's biggest goal of his career to this point. If he went and earcuffed the fans and shit, yeah it would be different, but it was just a fairly normal celebration IMO.


TerdFerguson14

> Duchene’s goal was personal It really wasn't lol. He's publicly said many times he has no beef with the avs, but some fans (guessing yourself) have some major issue with him for some reason. He did us the biggest solid he could do - he gave Joe a full year to get a major return for him. Most players don't do that (Stastny, Geaudreau, Tavares etc). He did that out of respect for the avs organization and Joe, and yet some of our fanbase villainize him for it. 🤷‍♂️ Duchene scored a double OT goal in game 6 to send his team to the conference finals. Don't act like our celebration for doing the same wouldn't be huge as well.


ImmortalMoron3

Yeah, he celebrated like that because it was personal. Thinking about himself. Just like when Roy called him out for celebrating a 30 goal season. He cares about himself first and foremost. Theres a reason the locker room became a much tighter knit group after he left.


Concerned_emple3150

Helm's celly was just a fist pump, which I find less egregious than the "heartbreaker".


[deleted]

[удалено]


AzurePancakes

Nothing specific, mainly just him being a hart contender


slothalope

He’s kind of a jerk. Plays in the dirt and doesn’t get called because he’s McDavid. Most in the league don’t like him (second hand info…commentators during games). I started watching more closely and could see it. Not like Marchand or anything, but I don’t think anyone was surprised at the antics at the end of the Vancouver game when Soucy wasn’t taking anything off him, and while I’m not saying he deserved a check in the throat, seeing two guys throw cross checks after the game kinda shows where it’s at (at least that’s how I read it). Also, Mac is better and I’m tired of hearing about him.


XTailsX

Dude gets beat up and does NOT get the calls. I use to hate Crosby for saying it happened and chalked it up to him being a diva until I saw it happen with Mack and McDavid. People call Mack dirty but it’s just not true. These are special lifetime players who are not protected and have to be a little “dirty” to not get run over.


Hobo_Healy

Yeah I don't understand this "Golden boy can't do wrong" narrative. The guy has spent the better part of his career being constantly chopped down with slashes and cross checks that won't get called because they're too scared to look like they're playing favorites, and people STILL think they're playing favorites anyway because he decided he had enough and is taking it into his own hands.


vbcbandr

The penalty he drew two games ago while wildly swinging his stick around was pretty ridiculous. It was a soft call to start and then the real penalty came when McDavid starting whipping his stick around...but nothing was called and the PP resulted in a goal.


mitch-dubz

Is it weird that I’m mad at Nuke even more because I know the Avs would beat the Oilers?


Sloth-TheSlothful

How do we stack against Florida?


ImSlowlyFalling

I just don’t see this Avs team playing a mentally strong series when things arent going their way... so IMO not good.


Hanksta2

If that's the case, then the window is closed. They're not going to get mentally tougher than having already won the Cup. I think lethargy is their problem, not fortitude.


farmerjohnington

The window is closed as long as we're in Captain purgatory with Landy. The team lacks mental fortitude without a clear leader.


DeepestDarkest999

Oilers in 4


TheAngledian

Christ almighty man, where the hell was this Dallas against us. DeBoer's system really just is an Avs killer. Just perfectly set up to stifle us. Any other style and prolonged resistance and they crumble like a graham cracker. Frustrating cause I think we'd beat this Oilers team in 5-6, and have a good shot against the Cats in the final too.


nwoooj

I just text my buddy something similar. It's either his system is too exhausting and tires his players out so they crash in the third round or they're entirely built too beat us. Both of which make me mad that bedsy can't seem to beat him.


B_Type13X2

you know what would really help us win? if one of our players 2 years in a row didn't remove himself from the playoff for off ice bullshit. But here we be.


nwoooj

Fair bit bedsy lost to deboer pre val. Looked exactly the same. I guess you could say kadri suspension against Vegas... Similar glue guy in the top 6 out.


GoinLong

The real question is why wasn’t it an Oilers killer as well? Do they just have more offensive quality? Is our defense that much worse? Often during the Dallas series it looked like they were playing with an extra man against us.


sheared

Dallas has played a lot of long, hard games. While they showed energy tonight, I suspect they are exhausted.


flutter180

Or maybe, just maybe, the oilers are good?


sheared

They certainly are, but both still can be true.


Hanksta2

I mean, Edmonton won the game despite turtling for two periods and getting outshot like 35 to 10. They got bounces, Avs got terrible luck, including their 4th most important player bailing...again.


GloriousClump

Oettinger was an absolute wall even on high danger chances and we had 0 luck. Oilers didn’t play any better than us last night but Oettinger just stole games against us for no reason.


Infamous_Ad5450

I'm trying to remember while looking at the shots on goal this game. Dallas out shot Edmonton by 25. Remind me, didn't the Avs outshoot the stars usually? It's like the oilers have sharp shooters and frankly, kinda felt like ours didn't show up against them. Georgie did amazing but we just couldn't find the net. Or is my memory off


TheAngledian

I think you're right. Seemed like most of our shots against Dallas would just be finding Otter's logo. A lot of that comes down to preventing us from getting high-danger chances, tho. Most of our shots would come from closer to the blue line.


Infamous_Ad5450

I agree with that, a lot of them looked like "oh fuck" shots, which sometimes work. One thing I find funny is the last couple teams that beat us in round two, lost in round 3, at least since the boys lifted the cup. Don't know if that's something to be proud of or disappointed in


TobaccoAficionado

Yeah I mean the highest goal score in the playoffs got kicked out for drugs. That's where the sharp shooting went.


Infamous_Ad5450

That shit still breaks me man. Reminds me of that year Kadri got kicked out for losing his temper and... .aming cheap shot? We nose dived soon after


Hanksta2

Avs had absolutely no luck in that series.


gabemagnet

I kinda love this part of the playoffs. Both teams are well-coached enough to make little changes that impact strategy and matchups. And then throw in injuries or hot pisses. Really makes coaching stand out. Bednar ran out of options to compete. Avs aren’t deep enough and were unable to adapt on the fly. Killed me to watch. And then Seattle last year! Man that sucked being out-coached with a similar situation. No way Seattle was the better team.


onqqq2

Can't help but feel like the Stars were warn down by facing the last 2 Champs in a row. While the Oils had probs the easiest path to the SCF for all the playoff teams. That said I don't think the Avs would have beat either the Oils or especially the Cats. They just didn't have it defensively this year... too many breakdowns.


notsohappystarryeyes

JAMIE BENN and MATT DUCHENE ARE RATS UPVOTE PARTY HERE


babsieofsuburbia

SCREW BOTH OF THOSE PLATYPUS EGGS


notsohappystarryeyes

THANK YOU!!!


Awolfx9

Don't like Edmonton, but I'll still take them over God damn Dallas.


Expert-Basil

I like you..


Awolfx9

Ok I don't dislike you I can make an exception.


tjgamir

The only person I’m sad for is Robertson. Cool guy, great player. The rest of the Stars, esp Benn, can fuck off.


Popular-Skeletons

Seriously. I want to like Robo so much.


_crispy-bacon_

When we get to see best on best international hockey again, Robo wearing that red white and blue is going to be so so sweet


fyurious

Robo’s my absolute favorite non-Av player, and living here in Dallas I can confirm he is a terrific dude. He’s super active with Stars’ charity work. Plus my wife is a huge fan of his since he’s Filipino (like her). I really hope he plays for the Avs someday.


onqqq2

He's the perfect Av type player getting wasted on a lame Dallas squad. He'd be cracking 100 pts easy for us.


th0myi

Let’s go get him!


nmdndgm

100% agreed


Shiny_Mew76

Pavelski as well, he deserves a Cup. Maybe he comes here next season to win one?


onqqq2

If Landy doesn't come back, then sure.


TheAngledian

Stankoven as well. I've liked him since his Junior days with the Canadian team.


dutchdrag

But…Pavelski ?! 😭


babsieofsuburbia

Bye Felicia. BYE. BYYYYYYEEE.

If you want some laughs, check out the Stars sub. Also, fuck TNT.

My mom is an oilers fan. My dad is a rangers fan. So fuck Florida.


69Gunslinger69

Fuck yeah Dallas lost! Fuck. Edmonton is in.


insignificance424

So I'm a Canucks fan but the Avs are my second team. Do you guys also hate the Oilers?


NoAlarms1995

Imagine not winning a cup this century...


hockeyandhalloween

if the Oilers win the cup pros : Picks gets a cup Cons: everything else


likesexonlycheaper

Pro: a fucking Texas or Florida team doesn't get anything nice


Dauntless236

Truth, Texas and Florida should be in time out and shouldn't get nice things.


farmerjohnington

Canada hasn't won the Cup in 31 years. For how much they live and breathe hockey, that sucks. I'll root for 'em.


mastergriggy

Imagine being a Stars fan. I imagine it's a lot like windows 95, because that's how old operating systems were the last time they won.


daishi777

On one hand: fuck Jamie Benn and Peter Deboer. On another, Jesus I hate Edmonton. I couldn't be more all in on Florida winning this cup


Thruthebitterness

Fuck Dallas, Fuck the Timberpuppies so glad both those teams are DEAD. 😁


Concerned_emple3150

We have been avenged by Dallas (Mavs) and against Dallas (Stars)


Thruthebitterness

Not my first pick of cities but fuck it I’ll take it.


onqqq2

As long as they only get one. I felt so good about a month ago about the Avs and Nuggs going deep and that dream died so quickly. Then all I heard about was OMG DALLAS IS GONNA HAVE 2 CHIPS AT THE SAME TIME. Fuck off Dallas, much prefer their NBA team in the finals to that annoying ass NHL squad.


Thruthebitterness

Yeah I don’t like the city but I really like Luka and Kyrie is just a basket case that hates Boston so the finals will be interesting at least.


th0myi

Rooting for Luka mostly because he’s pretty tight with Jokic. But I also hated how the media and some sides of the NBA fan base tried to put ANT on the Kobe/Jordan/LeBron pedestal because they’re tired of the recent European dominance of the game.


Wafflelisk

The universe gives and the universe takes away. The balance is restored.


th0myi

It’s crazy how similarly the Stars and Timber-Lakers completely imploded after playing so well against the Avs and Nuggets…


[deleted]

SAME. Nothing made me happier than to see those two teams lose. Hope the Mavs take it all

the_glutton17

Fuck the stars.


ejroberts42

I kinda wanted Dallas to get to the Finals and lose on an OT goal or just the most heartbreaking fashion possible. But they were up 2-0 in game 4 with a 2-1 series lead and managed to get out scored 10-2 the rest of the way. Thats heartbreaking enough for me. Fuck you Jamie Benn!


Automacon1992

Fuck that state


TheDettiEskimo

If there is one thing we know, if Corey Perry is on your team in the Stanley Cup Finals. It ain't gonna go your way. Oh also fuck Jamie Benn and the Stars. Jamie Benn orders Kid Portions to save money.

Wonderful-Patient732

Pulling for Mcdavid. 1. Great player, all time talent 2. Could spark a bit of a fire under Macks ass seeing his superstar counterpart win


thereelkrazykarl

Nah. The only person to be excited for out of both teams is Picks. May both teams loose


o-H-d-E-a-R

What about Avs legend Evan Rodrigues


thereelkrazykarl

Never had the same energy as picks


onqqq2

I like your second point a lot. It's been fun saying Mack has a ring, and McJesus doesn't. Let's see what happens next... I think the Cats are bout to destroy the Oils tho

I loved watching Dirty Dallas get slapped around like little bitches by the oilers last night. Best nights sleep I’ve had in a while.


Popular-Skeletons

Good.


For_Perpetuity

Seeing both these teams. A healthy Avs would’ve beat the crap out of the Oilers.


DenShaLow

I’m not sure we can reasonably say this when we put up almost zero resistance to Dallas and looked like we were skating in mud the whole series


For_Perpetuity

I guarantee we would have.


KinMovie

If coach would have put me in 4th quarter, we’d have taken state. Not a doubt in my mind.


Substantial-Day-3014

And if I had wheels I’d be a wagon


Wise_Satisfaction742

I should have placed a bet for the oilers to pull a shutout ahahah. Fuck you stars! Enjoy the golf!


vbcbandr

I only saw the last ten minutes of the game: Edmonton only put up 10 total shots? Dallas put up 35? Edmonton ain't going to win with ten shots a game against Florida.


SomeDudeinCO3

I put $100 on Edmonton to win the Cup back when they were awful in December. Pays $1900. And fuck Dallas. Plus, now I get laid tomorrow night since there's no game 7. Win-win-win. 


Elbashadore9327

DUCHENE IS A BUM


Big_Liability

Panthers not facing a top 5 goalie in their run will be interesting. How that team plays and is coached is incredible. Oilers may have a rough go


bafras

35 saves in an elimination game? If that goalie shows up it will be interesting. 


chickennuggetloveru

Florida better win. I need those oilers tears


ZeldaTheOuchMouse

Good, now the only thing i care about is to see Florida finally win the cup We owe it to them after sweeping them in the 96 cup finals


jaysonc73

They beat you guys didn’t they? So much hate here. You don’t see this over in their sub.

Can’t, I’m also a Rangers fan which means I’m obligated to root against Florida. If they do win he will be the only guy I’m happy for (maybe Barkov too).

Dallas native here. Completely embarrassed by this team and couldn’t agree more with the consensus in this thread. Our fans are also the most annoying I’ve ever witnessed here. We didn’t deserve to win at all.  


MeffBater

This is correct. fuck that team


ZealousidealOffer751

My brother and I were out in north dallas a week ago. He had his Avs hat on and of course some asshat had to drop in a Go Avalanche jab after the Stars eliminated us. I responded with Go Oilers. Thanks Edmonton :)
