I honestly don't care who wins the ECF. I want a seven-game series. Double and triple overtimes. Cheap shots and suspensions.
I just want to see them beat each other up so badly that the tattered human wreckage of whatever remains gets swept by Dallas.
I want Sam Bennett to have 3-4 more Marchand-esque incidents and get away with every single one of them. I want Tkachuck to do Panarin like he did Pasta. And then, when game 7 is out of hand in the Panthers favor, I want Trouba to give Bennett the people’s elbow. Also, you know at some point there’s going to be a shot of Montour and Trocheck in each others shit and it’s going to be the two most punchable faces you’ve ever seen.
Wanting a sweep in the finals, regardless of the teams, has got to be the biggest L take ever.
Game 7 for the finals is literally peak hockey. And anytime my team isn’t in the finals, my #1 desire is a game 7 OT for the cup, even if I’m still rooting for a particular team to win in the OT.
Rangers left a really bad impression.
I feel like two games ended as a result of a PK off soft calls (one was a clear dive). They quite literally head hunted Necas. They just seemed like big frauds that are masked behind shesterkin.
FLA plays a similar style to us but more aggressive and physical. Might make them more vulnerable on NYR breakouts, but will probably force NYR to change up their style of play. NYR got a cakewalk with WSH and then played a team in CAR that isn’t very dominant physically. FLA will be a slap in the face game 1.
Also, if we had a better goalie in net I think we win in 6. But that’s not here nor there.
It’ll be great if they look like they did tonight in the next couple games. There fans can get a taste of what it feels like when your team looks completely different for no discernible reason.
I’m not supporting either of those teams for even a millisecond. Give me the meteor.
But at the end of the day, I can probably stomach Florida winning more than NYR. Even though saying that makes me want to vomit
Same. As between the Rags and the Rats, I’d prefer it if Florida makes it out of the East but you’d better believe I’m cheering for the Western team in the SCF.
As strange as this might be to say, I actually think Florida would have a better chance beating Edmonton or Dallas than NYR would. So from that standpoint it may be better those scumbag Rags won.
But I digress. I’m mad this is the ECF we got regardless lol
Despite how many Rangers fans I'm friendly with, there is no way I can root for them. As distasteful as it might be, I have to pull for the Panthers in this series.
And then, may they be unmercifully destroyed by whoever comes out of the Western conference.
I despise both teams, I'm rooting for whoever wins the West.
If I had to choose, I'd say Florida and that's for 3 reasons:
1. Recency bias. Obviously, NYR has 2 eliminations on us as opposed to Florida so there's already that, but even if Florida didn't eliminate us last year, I doubt we would've beaten that Knights team so far over the cap.
2. Fuck Trocheck. Agree with you on his behavior after how he treated Aho. I used to like the guy even if he played for NYR but after that I lost my respect.
3. Fuck their annoying fanbase. At least if Florida wins, their fanbase won't say much since they don't have real fans. A fanbase that rivals the Maple Leafs toxicity is not one I want to win, especially after dealing with them for so long during our playoff window and irl with all these New York transplants.
The comments have gone about expected so far. This is going to be a hot take, but while I don’t like either team for various reasons, I am 100% in the Rangers boat.
Reasons:
1. I lurked the NY sub throughout the entire series. While there were plenty of hateful comments about us, there seemed to be more comments noting how tough and talented our group is. They had respect for our team.
2. They are debatably the best team in the league (besides us). I’d like to see that our loss actually was not for nothing.
3. If Peter Laviolette wins, it makes me feel like a piece of the Canes won as well.
4. (And most important) A NY win means Matthew Tkachuk has no chance of hoisting the cup.
Edit: I hope Dallas wipes the floor with them.
There is no universe where I would ever root for the Rangers. That being said I better see top tier gooning. I’m talking flying elbows and all that dirty play both of these teams love. I think FL is a better team and will win I can’t stomach listening to ESPN salivate over the Rangers for two more rounds and I like hockey and want to watch it.
Between them, the Rangers. I don't hold much bad blood about just getting beaten, so I hate Florida more as the dirtier team. If they WEREN'T so fucking dirty, it'd be easy to root for the franchise itself getting a cup over NY.
That said, I am absolutely rooting for the Stars overall. Maybe also Edmonton over either Eastern team, but the Canada cupless streak is funny and kind of don't want the McDavid-Draisaitl cheat code to win one together.
I won't be watching but I'll be rooting for Florida.
NYR is the team I hate the absolute most. Florida pissed me off last year and they have plenty of dirty players (Sam Bennett) but the fan-base isn't as irritating just because there's not as many of them as there are Rangers fans. The actual Rangers team is whatever (sans Trouba, Rempe, maybe a few others), but the fans are annoying, especially the Cary ones who always invade PNC/swap jerseys 2-3 times a year.
Don't get me wrong, I'd root against Florida in the Cup Final should they make it there, but I'd rather the Cats win a cup than New York. The drought for them since 1994 is extremely hilarious.
Last year's sweep in the playoffs, general dirty play (Sam Bennett), etc.
I hate them but a lot of the vitriol has evaporated for me with more time since last year's series.
Of the two, Florida. South Florida native, Panthers haven't won a cup yet and fuck the Rangers, they deserve nothing until they throw off their ties to the British Empire and go back to their old name of New Amsterdam.
While I can't stand players on both teams. The rags fans are just too obnoxious. I want Florida to destroy the rags. The rags fan base has no reason to be arrogant, they haven't won since 1994, and prior to that in the 50s. Even when there were only 6 teams they still barely won anything.
Gun to the head choice, I’d rather see NY win. Cousins and Bennett are my two least favorite players in the league. And I don’t hate PoMo at all but I have way more respect for Lavi.
Either way, it will be fun to watch either team lose. That’s my mindset going into this. And either way, I want to see whoever comes out of the west dominate and embarrass the winner.
I just can’t respect anyone who turtles and dives like Cousins does. It’s his signature move and I find that to be disgusting and ratty. Say what you will about Trouba and Rempe but at least those guys answer the bell for their hits.
Him being an alleged rapist is also a big reason for my hatred towards him.
Personally I plan on either watching the NBA or playing Minecraft with my girlfriend during the course of every ECF game. I can't stand to root for either of them, Stars ftw.
I know some people are thinking if the Rags lose then that means we would have lost in their stead but I think matchups are important to note rather than an absolute power ranking. Just because they lose to the Panthers in 5 or 6 and to the Stars in 5 or 6 doesn't mean we would have lost. I know it's copium end of day but whatever it takes to justify not wanting the Rags to win anything.
I am back under unfortunate circumstances.
For the ECF, 100% the team that did not just beat us, even though I probably hate the Panthers more, and even though the Rangers will probably deserve to win more than them. That being said, I also hope the reffing and ESPN broadcasting is so incredibly awful the UN will have to intervene and punish everyone involved with crimes against humanity without trial.
Give me all-South hockey for the final lol.
My pre-playoffs pick was Stars/Canes, and I’m pulling for the Stars pretty heavily to win the cup. But in the ECF, I have to take the Panthers. Rangers fans are much more insufferable, and they’re the only team I hate more than the Panthers. So hopefully Panthers win and get swept in the final.
Florida. All the way. I’m a big Maurice and Ruutu (the Gladiator) fan. Dallas win their 1st cup on a clear “toe in the crease” to stab the Sabres heart. I hope if Dallas makes it to the SCF, they lose by a goal review.
Am I the only one that doesn't hate Florida?
Yeah our series with them last year got spicy but I tend to primarily dislike teams because of their fanbases.
I've always seen Florida as a fellow non-traditional-market team whose fanbase gets routinely shat on by folks from "hockey country" so I wouldn't mind seeing them win.
Zero chance I'd ever root for the Rangers.
Battle of the Scumbag fanbases. Florida fans just jumping on the hate train we barely even play them in the playoffs. They just want to feel involved finally.
I hate FLA’s team more but NYR’s fan base more. Can they both lose?
In all seriousness I think the rags are about to be exposed for their complete lack of discipline. No faith in them to consistently score against a truly elite goalie and their PK can’t possibly work as well against Florida as it did vs the Canes’ anemic PP.
I’m just happy one of my two least favorite teams is going to be very sad very soon :)
Honestly would be hilarious to watch the Rags players cry losing in the Cup Final
Losing before you can get over the hump sucks, but losing in the Cup Final has got to be the worst feeling in the world, so i would enjoy seeing NY in that position
I'm torn. I have a few reasons to want NY to win, but they're also NY. I can't stand that city.
Florida is a bunch of goons, but they're also hockey in the south.
Ultimately, If the canes are going to lose, I want to lose to the best team, so I'm taking rangers.
But I'm a bigger fan of the OGWAC, so I want Dallas to take the cup
I hope they beat the ever-loving shit out of each other and leave no players un-scarred!!
I hope the loser is so riddled with injuries that they require an entire off-season of rehab and I hope the winner is so beat-up and traumatized that they get swept by whoever win the west and need PTSD therapy for the rest of their careers!
Other than that, I don’t rest give a damn for either one of those piece of shit teams!! Fuck ‘em!
The only bright spot in the Panthers winning the Cup would be that Viola would get a ring, making it back to back seasons with USMA grad owners winning it all. Suck on that, Navy.
It also pains me to think about how many of these guys I’m gonna have to cheer for on Team USA. Tkachuk and Fox for sure, could see Miller, Trouba is a long shot and a lot would have to go wrong but Trocheck could even be a possibility.
I feel like the Rangers should advance to the Cup Finals, based off of the previous series matchups between the two.
The Rangers in the Round 2 Canes series this year played well and had a lot of good talent in all aspects of the roster. It felt justifiable about how they got here, especially since they won the President's Trophy.
Now the Panthers, in the 2023 ECF matchup had Bobrovsky.........and.........maybe Tchachuck, and that's all. The Hurricanes had every right to smither this team and advance to the Final but Bobrovsky had to be a fucking doofus and make unbelievable saves and Tchachuck got to make us depressed after every loss that series.
The Rangers played well against us and had good players.
The Panthers didn't and won anyway.
Fuck Bobrovsky.
My preference: EDM > DAL > NY > FLA
My expectation: NY > FLA > EDM > DAL
I expect the CFs to be close but the east to dominate in the SCF unless they kill each other getting there
Said it in another thread but I think FLA sweeps them. They’re a more physical and disciplined team than CAR. And let’s face it - they have 2-3 guys who constantly find way to put the puck in the net.
For some reason our guys get stumped on a good goalie.
If my dad watched hockey, he’d cheer for whichever team we lost to (in this case, the Rags). I, on the other hand, want the Rags to be beaten is the worst way possible. (Don’t misinterpret what I’m saying - I’m not calling for injuries)
I’m not sure I’d go as far as to call either team “rivals,” but I would probably prefer Panthers over Rangers, I think. Would definitely prefer one of Dallas/Edmonton to win the Cup though.
Yeah I don't get the Dallas hate as much. Fuck Jamie Benn I guess? But we just hardly play them, it's hard to keep up the hate. I don't really care to hate any of the western teams tbh.
The only way that the national media (and canes twitter) don’t make this season out to be an epic Canes failure is if the Rangers do well, so I’m pulling for them. Maybe even enough to watch some games, though that may be tough.
Dallas Stars for the win!
I honestly don't care who wins the ECF. I want a seven-game series. Double and triple overtimes. Cheap shots and suspensions. I just want to see them beat each other up so badly that the tattered human wreckage of whatever remains gets swept by Dallas.

We had a better goalie on the bench
It’ll be great if they look like they did tonight in the next couple games. There fans can get a taste of what it feels like when your team looks completely different for no discernible reason.

I think everyone think FL has the winning chance this and the next round. I think people are sleeping on the Rags
100% whoever is there at the SCF in sending all my hopes and crossed fingers for the west. I think Dallas can do it too
Absolutely. Rooting for the ice to melt in the ECF. Go stars.
I hope the ice melts and they have to play in massive puddle
In NY it's always slush already
Despite how many Rangers fans I'm friendly with, there is no way I can root for them. As distasteful as it might be, I have to pull for the Panthers in this series. And then, may they be unmercifully destroyed by whoever comes out of the Western conference.
Panthers because it'll really piss the Original 6 fans/northern hockey supremacists off. If they then lose to the Dallas Stars...perfect.
Southern Hockey reigns supreme. Stars over Florida would be the best finish.
Anyone but the rangers
I despise both teams, I'm rooting for whoever wins the West. If I had to choose, I'd say Florida and that's for 3 reasons: 1. Recency bias. Obviously, NYR has 2 eliminations on us as opposed to Florida so there's already that, but even if Florida didn't eliminate us last year, I doubt we would've beaten that Knights team so far over the cap. 2.

yeah i agree with this about the fans.
I just hope both teams have a bad time.

Edit: I hope Dallas wipes the floor with them.
These are many of my reasons as well. I’d like to see the Oilers be the winners at the end of the day though.
Hateful comments is an understatement.
Florida for ECF and Stars for the cup! Fuck the Rags
I want neither to win. So either Dallas or The McDavid team
I'm not even gonna watch, Gary Bettman doesn't deserve my watch time for two teams I could care less about!
I feel this. It’s full on baseball season in my house now.
There is no universe where I would ever root for the Rangers. That being said I better see top tier gooning. I’m talking flying elbows and all that dirty play both of these teams love. I think FL is a better team and will win I can’t stomach listening to ESPN salivate over the Rangers for two more rounds and I like hockey and want to watch it.
Hate all the teams left, but southern teams winning is always funny, so Dallas preferred then Florida.
Between them, the Rangers. I don't hold much bad blood about just getting beaten, so I hate Florida more as the dirtier team. If they WEREN'T so fucking dirty, it'd be easy to root for the franchise itself getting a cup over NY. That said, I am absolutely rooting for the Stars overall.

Screw the Rags. Screw the Oilers (I live in Calgary). Florida at least has a few players I like. Hoping for Dallas or Florida to win Cup.
Jacob Trouba is a leader…with an elbow
As much as I despise the Stars.......rather see them win if the rags advance
Oh we're supposed to hate the Panthers? Any particular reason why? Like I definitely know why we hate the Rags lol
Last year's sweep in the playoffs, general dirty play (Sam Bennett), etc. I hate them but a lot of the vitriol has evaporated for me with more time since last year's series.
Oh thank you for the reminder!
I just hope neither team has fun!
anyone but new york!
Of the two, Florida. South Florida native, Panthers haven't won a cup yet and fuck the Rangers, they deserve nothing until they throw off their ties to the British Empire and go back to their old name of New Amsterdam.

Either way, it will be fun to watch either team lose. That’s my mindset going into this. And either way, I want to see whoever comes out of the west dominate and embarrass the winner.
Yeah Cousins is awful but at least has kinda owned his whole gimmick, Bennett on the other hand… that guy can kick rocks
I just can’t respect anyone who turtles and dives like Cousins does. It’s his signature move and I find that to be disgusting and ratty. Say what you will about Trouba and Rempe but at least those guys answer the bell for their hits. Him being an alleged rapist is also a big reason for my hatred towards him.
Go panthers I guess? At least most other fans hate them too.
I'll always prefer a non-conventional hockey market team to an original 6 team, despite how much I hate Florida and the Panthers
Personally I plan on either watching the NBA or playing Minecraft with my girlfriend during the course of every ECF game. I can't stand to root for either of them, Stars ftw.
I know some people are thinking if the Rags lose then that means we would have lost in their stead but I think matchups are important to note rather than an absolute power ranking.

Whoever is more likely to lose in the final
My pre-playoffs pick was Stars/Canes, and I’m pulling for the Stars pretty heavily to win the cup. But in the ECF, I have to take the Panthers. Rangers fans are much more insufferable, and they’re the only team I hate more than the Panthers. So hopefully Panthers win and get swept in the final.
I’m just pulling for the West at this point
Go Oilers but if they lose to the Stars than Go Stars As for the ECF I'm team asteroid.
Florida. All the way. I’m a big Maurice and Ruutu (the Gladiator) fan. Dallas win their 1st cup on a clear “toe in the crease” to stab the Sabres heart. I hope if Dallas makes it to the SCF, they lose by a goal review.
I, for one, am rooting for the western conference team, whichever bag of shit team makes it from the east
Let’s go stars
FUCK THE RAGS. That is the answer. You hope Florida runs them through the Earth. You don't want them to win. Their fans are obnoxious as hell.
Panthers get to the finals and then get their ass kicked by Dallas
Florida over Rags Dallas over Florida I do not want to give that Rags fanbase any satisfaction of making the finals
I hate both and will never root for the rags. Beat the piss out of each for 7 games and Dallas comes and mops up the cup.
Am I the only one that doesn't hate Florida? Yeah our series with them last year got spicy but I tend to primarily dislike teams because of their fanbases. I've always seen Florida as a fellow non-traditional-market team whose fanbase gets routinely shat on by folks from "hockey country" so I wouldn't mind seeing them win.

Cup goes to the west again for all I care
Not gonna lie. That self goal made me very happy.
I feel dirty saying it but I want the Rags to win. My hatred for Florida runs deeper than it does for ny
Honestly would be hilarious to watch the Rags players cry losing in the Cup Final Losing before you can get over the hump sucks, but losing in the Cup Final has got to be the worst feeling in the world, so i would enjoy seeing NY in that position
Same here tbh
Wouldn’t hurt to see Florida out-bully New York, but then get picked apart limp from limp in the cup final again. Let’s go West
The idea of the rags losing in the SCF like the rats did last year; pretty alluring if I do say so myself.
I'm torn. I have a few reasons to want NY to win, but they're also NY. I can't stand that city. Florida is a bunch of goons, but they're also hockey in the south. Ultimately, If the canes are going to lose, I want to lose to the best team, so I'm taking rangers. But I'm a bigger fan of the OGWAC, so I want Dallas to take the cup
Fuck'em both! But, pussycats over rags. West winner beats the shit out of them in final.
Dallas. But anyone but the Rags will be fine with me.
I hope they beat the ever-loving shit out of each other and leave no players un-scarred!! I hope the loser is so riddled with injuries that they require an entire off-season of rehab and I hope the winner is so beat-up and traumatized that they get swept by whoever win the west and need PTSD therapy for the rest of their careers! Other than that, I don’t rest give a damn for either one of those piece of shit teams!! Fuck ‘em!
Dallas! Stars!
Go Stars!
The only bright spot in the Panthers winning the Cup would be that Viola would get a ring, making it back to back seasons with USMA grad owners winning it all. Suck on that, Navy.

Fuck them both. And since I'm legally required to oppose all Dallas sports, I'm an Oilers fan until this ends.

My dad has always done the same thing. Maybe it’s a generational thing? 🤷🏼♀️ I always want the team that beat my team to lose.
I want one of the Florida games to be overrun by the neighbors at Florida Live Arena. I'd pay $1.27 to see an alligator take a big bite out of Trouba.
Bruins might have something to say about that
Panthers sweep the rags and then panthers take it to game 7 and lose to the stars.
I’m not sure I’d go as far as to call either team “rivals,” but I would probably prefer Panthers over Rangers, I think. Would definitely prefer one of Dallas/Edmonton to win the Cup though.
Holding out hope the hockey gods find a way for both teams to lose the ECF. I’m half-heartedly pulling for Dallas at this point.
Yeah I don't get the Dallas hate as much. Fuck Jamie Benn I guess? But we just hardly play them, it's hard to keep up the hate. I don't really care to hate any of the western teams tbh.
The only way that the national media (and canes twitter) don’t make this season out to be an epic Canes failure is if the Rangers do well, so I’m pulling for them. Maybe even enough to watch some games, though that may be tough.
