I didn't get around to watching any of the SCF's, not even highlights...just not interested in either team.

However, glad to hear StL won it (or Bos lost).
Happy for Bouwmeester. Seems like a good dude.

I've watched most of the highlights and even went to a bar for one of the games but none of us ended up even paying attention

Sounds like most of CAnada is getting behind the Raps.
Even my mom was at the pub the other night watching the game

I've been watching them as a kid since Bosh's rookie season, as soon as the Kawhi deal was made I knew they had a chance this season and then the Gasol deal was the cherry on top

Masai is a hell of a GM/Prez, Raps are luck that they have him after the years of crappy/mediocre management they've had

If they blow this though

The more of his film I see, the more I think Alex Newhook is the young lad. His skating, hockey sense and playmaking abilities are too hard to ignore. I have him ranked above Zegras, Boldy and Dach.

I went to a few Grizzlies games back in the day and was a fan of Shareef.
That reminds me, watched a cute doco on finding Big Country awhile back. Worth a watch.

Switched to the Raps when the Grizz moved and followed them ever since.

Stu Jackson’s the bomb brah

Also, I watched more playoff hockey than I did Canuck games this year. Hope those two things align more soon... but not too soon

There was some good storylines this year but I just wasn’t into it after the first 2 rounds

If KD(RIP) was still playing then this wold be over. But I don’t think Kawhi will let them lose 3 straight to Curry and Klay.

Feels like Klay is shooting like 80% from 3 so far, he has to be due for an off shooting night and that’s going to put too much pressure on Steph

There will be a game 7 and Raptor fans will poop their pants.

Though, like the Blues, I like to see the underdog win, so go Raps?

Raps in 6.
I think kawhi leonard keeps the team chill and they finish it off in the Bay.

I'm not sure about his resigning in T. tho

I still think it's 50/50, but if I had to guess I'd still bet on the Clippers, those lucky (frank)s will be tough to beat if they can land 1 of Butler, KD, Walker to go along with Kawhi.

I think Jimmy Butler stays in Philli
KD looks like he's done for the year, so I guess he could just opt in for the final year with the Warriors and rehab for the year...or sign with the Knicks?

If Kawhi was more of a celebrity fiend, I think signing in T. and being the superstar for the entire country would be appealing, but that dude is tough to read


I wonder if Kemba would go to the LAL to play with Lebron and Davis?

Petterson will not win the Calder. Binnington has it in the bag.

As has been laid out here before, voting is at the end of the regular season. Has nothing to do with playoffs. It’s Peteys to lose.

Exactly, playoffs have nothing to do with the voting. I’d be shocked if Pettersson didn’t win it.

The “sad club” is down to two teams, Vancouver and Buffalo. All original six, 1967, 1972 and 1974 teams have won Cups now. Just the lowly 1970 group lagging behind.

1967 - LA, St. Louis, Minnesota/Dallas, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
1970 - Vancouver, Buffalo
1972 - NYI, Atlanta/Calgary
1974 - Washington, Kansas City/Colorado/New Jersey

Yes, this is sad, even 2 of the 4 WHA merger teams, from 1979, Edmonton and Quebec/Colorado have won cups.☹

Hartford/Carolina won a Cup as well. Only Winnipeg/Arizona hasn’t, and they probably never will.
