Anaheim Won :( Game 7

[yathis]

I was rooting for Oilers obviously.

 

Who do you want to win?

[schwarzerrogen]

The Devils weren't in it, so now it's Nashville, just so we can all watch Montreal meltdown in realtime.

 

Because PK is boss.

What the hell are you talking about?

And were you fucking for Oilers? (whatever they are.)

[Andreas Lilja]

Any team but Pittsburgh.

Ice Hockey.  Anaheim = Ducks, Edmonton = Oilers.  They're teams.

Rooting does not mean the same thing in Canada/U.S. English and Strayan / British English.

I do know, but if Americans can get away with being completely oblivious to anything not American, why can't I?

 

PS. It's Australian English, which is not the same a British English, but hey, thumbs up for figuring it out!

The Oilers didn't deserve to win that game. Their goal was more of a fluke than anything, and they played horribly.

The team that came to play won, just as they should have.

I'm hoping Ottawa wins simply because they're Canadian, but Nashville would be amazing as well. To come on that strong from such a low standing would really show the other teams how it should be done!

...Except this is Canadian, not American, so your point isn't valid.

Australian English is closer to British English than anything else though, isn't it convict?

I do know it's Canadian, but my point still stands.

Convict? I wasn't born in Australia. I would say "refugee" is a better term.

Well, I can't tell the difference between Canadian and American English, but that doesn't mean the differences are not there.

Wanted hockey talk, get linguistics instead.

Eh don't worry these knuckle heads are even thick when it gets about hockey. You say hockey and they instantly assume it is on ice.  Even though field hockey is way more international. 

Thumbs up for the mirror show you did

We DON'T get away with it. At all. We're constantly stereotyped as being idiots.

 

To get this back on topic, I'm rooting for Nashville. My wife grew up in Tennessee and it would be cool to see another Southern team skate off with the Cup.

 

Wouldn't at all mind seeing Anaheim or Ottawa win it if the Preds don't.

 

I have less than zero desire to see the Pens win another title.

jej the Minnesota Wild sucks. Not sure back when we had the North Stars if they were actually any better but Minnesota's teams suck. Maybe the NHL/NFL/MLB/NBA should introduce a participation ribbon for Minnesota and states/provinces with teams like that (Not the teams that have won The Stanley Cup/Super Bowl/World Series/The Finals in the past 5 years)
