Reminds me of 2011 a bit (sorry 72o) with the circumstances being very memorable while the games for themselves don't offer much suspense

Game 1 was pretty good though, clear scoreline but everyone pulled their hair out for 40 minutes with the Oil dominating but Bob standing on his head

Pretty sure Flames fans all hated him. But I guess PP coaches are never really popular

Game 7 Is For Haters, Too

Quote:

But the hockey season does not end with your team's elimination. There's always another road you can take—one possibly even more fulfilling and sustainable. It's not for the faint of heart, though. Are you built to be a hater? Sometimes the most rewarding memory will be the humiliation of others. Wins may be eternal, but so is a good bit, like the Leafs being defeated by a Zamboni driver.

speaking of hate, i hate how people always seem to get this incomplete, when the full story makes it even funnier; the laffs were defeated by their own ahl zamboni driver. get it right

Quote:

And, in a blink of an eye, we've found ourselves here, with the possibility to witness the NHL's first reverse sweep championship since 1942. Tonight's Game 7 is for the haters.

lfg

Quote:

A loss tonight will be generationally devastating for either team. On one hand, you've got the Panthers facing what could be one of the most awful chokes in history. If they lose in front of their home crowd tonight, as has happened the last three times a Final went seven, the cats and rats will never live it down. To have to watch the Oilers celebrate on Florida ice? To be denied, by their own inability to simply not lose four games in a row, the franchise's first-ever Cup? That's the kind of thing you can rub in their fans' faces for decades.

For the Oilers, who briefly started the season at the bottom of the league, a legendary redemption arc is within reach. They could finally silence all the McDavid haters! Shut up everyone who said the league rigged multiple draft lotteries to go their way! Their mortal enemies, Flames fans, would probably combust from rage. But a loss tonight would mean sudden and immeasurable heartbreak, a catastrophic crash-landing after a trying climb to the highest of emotional highs. Though they will never admit it even to themselves, Oilers fans believe in their heart of hearts that they're winning tonight. Hearts like that break easily, and permanently. Coming up just short would haunt Edmonton forever. And you will be there to remind them of it at every opportunity.

and this is also incomplete because it ignores the part about canadian teams not winning the stanley cup since bill clinton's 1st term

Quote:

In my ideal world, we go to at least two overtimes, the tension so high it feels something like pain. For the hate-viewer, there's no way to lose. A Cup will be lifted, and tears will be shed. Either way, you'll emerge from this battle with ****-talking ammo so potent, it'll last a lifetime.

been spendin' most their lives livin' in the hater's paradise
keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the hater's paradise
