@bertsarntreal7211 Жыл бұрын

Gotta be honest. Jacking the Jon Bois jazz music / graphics style while presenting a bunch of arbitrary and confusing stats and rating system made this feel like a bit like a cheap bootleg knockoff. Creativity can't be copied. The thing that made Jon Bois great was the way he could tell a story through numbers, not the way the video was decorated with any particular genre of music or visual effects. Those were just the icing on the cake. I understand admiring a creator, but imitation isn't flattery if you're just appropriating the aesthetic without the same attention to quality of substance. I hope he works on the script writing and finds his own style. I know making these videos take a lot of time and effort, and he's got some skill and taste.

Honestly if our team never wins again, it’s because we were so fucking spoiled in 2012 and especially 2014. Beat our 3 biggest rivals in game 7’s with a reverse sweep in one of those series and won the cup at home in double ot in a NY/LA series. Like can you even come up with a better script? It’s still hard to believe even nearly 10 years later.

As far as being a caps fan goes, these past 15 years have been filled with so much fun but also so much simultaneous pain, I wanted to echo what another comment said about being #1 in Killer Instinct after being known to always choke in the playoffs and it seemed that would never change. As a young kid that fell in love with the team every-time they lost I felt so distraught because I didn't know how to process my emotions in a healthy manner yet as a kid. This run was all I needed to heal my inner child and seeing Game 5 Live on that summer night outside Capital One Arena with my Brother and best friends besides me was and will always be, a lifelong memory.

I said this below but I’m counting the 2017 as one of the best, but for all the reasons you said. ‘They probably shouldn’t have won a Cup’ but they did. I remember when Letang got hurt everyone doubted they could even make a run to the ECF. The only way I can describe what they did is what the NL was known for; playing small ball. They manufactured goals and wins, putting together timely stretches of periods when it mattered most. They all bought in and played a total team game, plus Murray was great. In 2016 it felt like they had 3 top lines, but 2017 they scratched and clawed and showed their resilience. In fact, the threepeat was only derailed when a combination of running out of gas and Washington finally one upping their big brother and getting over that hump ended it. Pinholes I bet you’d admit that 2018 was ten times sweeter for beating the Pens en route Edit: and Mario did not sell his soul to the devil! He’s an angel! Lol 😂😂

Got busy doing other stuff but start watching again in 18’ I think.. or 19’.. perfect time to pick it back up. And it was insanely fun to watch last year. Just electric. Beating the lightning 7-0 was jaw dropping. Too many fun goals to list. Hope they can find some magic in the playoffs. Their season isn’t as dominant as last but if the stars align they’ll be able to make a very deep run. And if I had to guess they’ll return to challenge for the cup. Probably slightly under par as the favorite but we’ll see how much they want it when round 2 or 3 comes around…

As a hawks fan the 2015 year was great basically because we were underdogs for the most part. The hockey world considered us favorites mostly for the intangibles (the core already having two cups) but in terms of on ice play, you could have given reasons why any team we played could have beaten us. But our defense playing out of their minds, Keith turning into an absolute god for two months, and the team genuinely willing itself to win was a lot of fun, compared to the 2010 and 2013 teams which were basically cup or bust. Sentimentally it ranks pretty well for us, but if you're ranking based on how good the team was no question it's in third place.

a something to pile on as a kings fan, for the 2014 run. that was also the first time the kings had ever matched up against Anaheim in the playoffs, so beyond the obvious advancing to the next round, there is also the "you can't lose to your archrival the first time you match up in the playoffs". .
