No Cup For Us *SOB*

Well, the Florida Panthers have now won their second, back-to-back Stanley Cup, defeating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 of the Playoffs. And oh, how the rubber rats rained down on the ice!

So congrats to the Panthers.


This is how the Oilers will be spending their summer now until the next hockey season starts . . . 


. . . and this is how we Oilers fans will be spending ours, alas. 


But next year, we'll get that Cup! NEXT YEAR! *shakes fist*

It's hard to believe that the Panthers didn't cheat to get that cup--not much legitimate comes from Florida these days.

Condolences.

I just walked out of our kitchen as the newscaster was saying the Florida Panthers had won the Stanley Cup and my first thought was, "Oh Debra will not be happy."

NEXT YEAR!!!!!

Ice rinks in sub-tropical Florida? That seems so wrong and in terms of environmental responsibility very blameworthy. If any of the oilers are in Great Britain this summer, they are welcome to come and oil all the door hinges in our house.

My condolences. I am in agreement with the above comment, so blameworthy of Florida to even have a Hockey Team and Ice Rinks. *winks*

🏝🥹 Just a travesty! A place that cannot grow ice on its own is allowed to win an ice championship!! The world is upside down!! 🙃 Return The Cup to the land of ice and snow!! ❄️🏒❄️✊️💪

Hockey in Florida is unnatural. DeSantis needs to focus on that, and forget about the drag queens.

I am so sorry! I had the same thought as Bob when I heard about it this morning.

Oh well. There's next year...

This calls for consolation chocolate. A lot. It's a big cup to lose.

Mistress Maddie said...

You have my condolences, and a very big cocktail at the bar on my tab for the loss. No less to that stinking State of Florida yet!

@ Boud -- I agree! What I need is a Stanley Cup made out of chocolate! Hershey actually marketed such a product about a dozen years ago and I made it a giveaway on my blog. But I wish I had another one to eat today!

You know I don't have any idea about who is who with this, but the crying towel says it all.

Five Canadian teams in the playoffs and no Stanley Cup again, F*CK, F*CK, F*CK! It's hard to feel too sorry for the Oilers though, as they cry all the way to the bank with their huge salaries and trophy wives. It's the heartbroken, yet steadfast, fans I feel bad for!
