That said, I don’t call losing to the eventual Eastern Conference Champions in 7 games a “choke”. Not to mention, Carolina who was the 2nd seed in the league at the start of the playoffs…. lost their series 4-0.

The experts told us that Ottawa, Buffalo, and Detroit were going to have a break-thru year in 2023. ***crickets***

Panthers are and were built to stop the bruins. They’re going to be tough to beat the second half of the season.

Boston losing to Florida is my favourite 2023 storyline.
As for my own team, the Canucks under Tocchet in 2023 have been surprisingly effective, but we’re still in the regular season. IMO playoff storylines take precedence.

Eichel revenge tour. For as much shit as he got he stuck to his guns, got the surgery he wanted and it worked, and won the Stanley Cup. Stand up guy as well in Vegas

Where is Canucks being first by christmas after a near decade of mediocrity?

Why is Stamkos on this list? He’ll be extended in the offseason lol. He was just disappointed it wasn’t done over the summer.

Eichel Revenge Tour

I am a Canucks fan living in Edmonton so I like to think the No Boudreau No problem and Cup or Bust story lines go hand in hand.

Brindamour saying he didn’t get swept and that the team deserves a participation trophy was quite something

Mrs Bedard and Perry is gonna be the one I remember despite it not ever happening

Idk who came up with these names but they’re dog shit. “Boston tea choking party” is a mouth full and stupid af. Also takes away from Floridas accomplishment.
How I met your mother is just again referencing a real stupid social media bullying thing instead of that actual issue which is Perry’s contract being terminated
Calling Buffalo an unserious franchise is also stupid. There’s literally an NHL team that has its community vote no to building an arena and playing out of college arena. How is Buffalo the non serious team
Eichel revenge tour is also dumb given he didn’t even beat the Sabres to win a cup. The Sabres traded him to a contender team. That’d be like if Crosby joined the leafs. Well no shit the teams better
There’a also nothing about McDavid having a 153 point season, Karlssom having a 100 point season as Dman or the kraken a team that people thought shit the bed with their expansion draft upsetting the defending cup champs in round 1 and being 1 game away from the conference finals in their 2nd season

Panthers only because I love the panthers.

We want Florida

It’s Ovechkin.
This was a pretty good list but I’m surprised he wasn’t on it.
Him chasing the goal scoring record was a storyline that could have carried the league through the next 2/3 years, headline coverage.
I don’t think even his biggest doubters (myself included) would have predicted his abysmal start to this season. If he was on his normal pace or even just slightly below, the “Gretzky watch” would be on full display.
I wouldn’t really be surprised if he eventually turns it on and gets back on track to break the record. But so far he has been *bad*. He looks so disinterested and I haven’t seen a single interview from him asking about it.

Boston’s choke for sure. Ullmark’s give away in Game 6 OT was a thing of beauty I could watch all day.
Alextryingforgrate
Weird how no one is talking about the Sens shit show. Also goes to show how Bettman is a clown commissioner after a guy spends a cool Billion to buy a team, some one else fucked it paper work costing a team some picks and money, the new owner has to fork over a few more millions in damages etc?

Thankful we broke that losing streak last night. We finally played how I’m used to seeing us play against the sabers.

Boston Tea Choking party
The bruins blew a 3-1 series lead to the #8 seed Panthers & blew a game 7 lead in OT at home
The celtics lost to the #8 Miami heat in a game 7 blowout after crawling back from a 3-0 series deficit
The Patriots lost the #7 seed to the dolphins as well
Just eatin that Miami humble pie as we say bye to 2023

Ngl The Eichel Revenge Tour was pretty sick also the Kessel Ironman Streak needs mentioning as well!

Definitely unserious franchise, just because of how much it triggered Sabres fans on the subreddit.

We didn’t get swept is my favorite. I get what he’s saying, like the team played a solid 4 games but my guy… you still got swept.

As a Leaf’s fan my favorite was definitely the Boston Tea Choking party.
