I will accept your shit talk

Good game

 

"The 1915 Ottawa Senators, the 1916 Portland Rosebuds and the 1918 Vancouver Millionaires all engraved their names on the trophy even though they did not officially win it under the new PCHA-NHA system. They had only won the title of the previous champion's league and would have been crowned as Cup champions under the old challenge rules."

So they shouldn't even be on there technically.

 

Right

Context , take it out of

 

Don't get pissy because I laid a turd down on your cities only cup win. Good to see some trash talk on here again!

BTW how many playoff games are the Flames going to win in the third period. I thought that shit wouldn't work in the playoffs.

 

In 1914, the Victoria Aristocrats from the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) challenged the NHA and Cup champion Toronto Blueshirts. A controversy erupted when a letter arrived from the Stanley Cup trustees on March 17, that the trustees would not let the Stanley Cup travel west, as they did not consider Victoria a proper challenger because they had not formally notified the trustees.[29] However, on March 18, Trustee William Foran stated that it was a misunderstanding. PCHA president Frank Patrick had not filed a challenge, because he had expected Emmett Quinn of the NHA to make all of the arrangements in his role as hockey commissioner, whereas the trustees thought they were being deliberately ignored. In any case, all arrangements had been ironed out and the Victoria challenge was accepted.[30][31]

Several days later, trustee Foran wrote to NHA president Quinn that the trustees are "perfectly satisfied to allow the representatives of the three pro leagues (NHA, PCHA, and Maritime) to make all arrangements each season as to the series of matches to be played for the Cup."[32] One year later, the NHA and the PCHA concluded a gentlemen's agreement in which their respective champions would face each other for the Cup, similar to baseball's World Series, which is played between the American League and National League champions. Under the new proposal, the Stanley Cup Final series alternated between the East and the West each year, with alternating games played according to NHA and PCHA rules.[33] The PCHA's Vancouver Millionaires won the 1915 series three games to none in a best-of-five series.[34]

After the Portland Rosebuds, an American-based team, joined the PCHA in 1914, the trustees issued a statement that the Cup was no longer for the best team in Canada, but now for the best team in the world.[33] Two years later, the Rosebuds became the first American team to play in the Stanley Cup Final.[35] In 1917, the Seattle Metropolitans became the first American team to win the Cup.[36] After that season, the NHA dissolved, and the National Hockey League (NHL) took its place.[33]

 

Technicality built on technicality. Let's be honest, until the NHL was formed the other teams on there mean diddly. There several teams on there that won with a bunch of university kids that played a few games a year.

Jeez, and people think Leafs fans are bad for pointing out the wins before '67.

 

Yet.....when an Edmonton Oilers fan talks about the 5 Cups they've won.....we're told (100% of the time) that we're living in the past!!

 

I'm not clinging onto the Millionaires' win , I'm just pointing out your incorrect statement

So nobody on the Cup matters before the formation of the NHL ? The hockey hall of fame may differ on that opinion

Canucks got caught on the ice way too long on that shift

 

Ancient fartdust doesn't matter, besides all the good teams came after the orig 6 snorefest.

 

Who are you Wagon Person ?

 

I have the Canuks and Hawks for the Western conference final. It would have been the Blues but Kane is back and that gave the Hawks the edge.

 

Why was Darling in net ? I only saw part of the OT

 

Crawford got pulled after the first period. Let in 3 goal on 12 shots

 

I figured that might be the case but I wasn't sure

 

Looks like pulling Crawford was the right move. I wonder how Nashville will respond.
