-AJ- Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 gg Stars. Seriously though, this is actually a nice lesson in hockey history packed into a somewhat amusing package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The two AVS cups, Lake Athabasca and playing with line changes off had me laughing like an idiot in my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The Original Six era, 1943–1967: Here’s a little-known fact about the Original Six era: It had only six teams. If your office hockey pool had only six teams sign up to play, you would cancel it. Winning a league with six teams in it is basically the equivalent of winning the 2002 NL Central. Do you care who won the 2002 NL Central? Exactly. Snicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 This made me LOL: Pittsburgh Penguins, 2009: They built a roster full of top-three picks by spending half a decade repeatedly finishing in last place in front of an empty building, then won a pingpong-ball lottery for the right to draft the best player in 20 years. They then turned all of that ridiculous windfall into one whole Stanley Cup in a decade. Whee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3aL Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Enjoyed that, he coudl have added some more details like Giguere winning the cup with anaheim wiht oversized pads, Boston beating us by the goalie coming out the crease and laying out open ice hits on anyone he felt like etc. etc. Great though! Looks like we still have a chance to win the first legit cup ever wooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mephnick Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The fact that the only one that shouldn't have counted actually counted is hilarious (I'm assuming it was intentional). Edit: heh, should have finished the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putgolzin Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 hilarious. i didn't laugh at the dallas stars. i was closer to the sabres fans he mentioned in the subsequent year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 McIndoe is a good writer, I am surprised ESPN actually has a writer who knows hockey. Go to their NHL page and its just ridiculously stooopid nah wut i am saying merica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALGARY! Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 LOL nothings counts, although I do love: Tampa Bay Lightning, 2004: Come on. Verdict: Literally could not count any less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 This one left me in tears :lol: Chicago Blackhawks, 2015: They rode the brilliant play of Duncan Keith to a championship. [Checks ice time stats.] Yeah, as anyone who plays video-game hockey knows, Stanley Cups dont count if youre playing with line changes turned off. Verdict: Doesnt count.
