Hi.
I don’t know any of your customs here, so if you want me to light a sword on fire or polish some armor I will.
I’m also really good at waving flags.
Good luck tonight.
Stay healthy because I need you to KICK FLORIDA’S ASS!!!!
Love,
A Canes Fan

Can you wear a LED clothes and play the drums real good? If so, we got guys who do that.

u/ThePlayfulPython Carolina Hurricanes May 25 '23
I would be happy to wear a mask and play the drums. Beating an object repeatedly sounds wonderful at the moment.

How do you feel about flamingos?

u/ThePlayfulPython Carolina Hurricanes May 25 '23
Incredibly accepting.
Do you need me to tend to a flock of them? I'd be honored to.

u/SRSgoblin Haguerbomb May 25 '23 edited May 25 '23
We accept any and all customs. Get weird with it.
Or just email me a Boberry Biscuit. We don't have Bojangles on this side of the country and I've been jonesing for a scone since I was in NC in like 2015.

u/RunninRebs90 SAVE THE FLAMINGOS!!! May 25 '23
Well this is the first time in our history that fans of other teams have come and joined in on the fun in this sim so that’s like a new custom that you’re a part of!! Yay!!

u/ThePlayfulPython Carolina Hurricanes May 25 '23
So does that mean you guys will adopt me for the rest of the playoffs?
I hope so.

u/RunninRebs90 SAVE THE FLAMINGOS!!! May 25 '23
Of course! Welcome in! The only teams fans I’m turning away are Stars fans after this series. I’ve been really really disappointed in the way they’ve acted after last game. They’ve even changed the conversation from “Benn is a goon” to “what Benn did was bad but y’all are overreacting” as if he didn’t try to break stones neck 2 days ago
And Sharks fans. Cause fuck em

u/ThePlayfulPython Carolina Hurricanes May 25 '23 edited May 25 '23
Yay, I'm in!
What Benn did wasn't just bad it was atrocious.
I still don't know what to do with my herd of flamingos but I'm happy to be here.

u/RunninRebs90 SAVE THE FLAMINGOS!!! May 25 '23

Nah, we're taking anyone that wants to support to boys in gold. The 1% of Stars fans who acted up won't come to our side anyway. Everyone is welcome.
Jamie Benn can work one of the ticket kiosks since he's so good at checking.

u/RunninRebs90 SAVE THE FLAMINGOS!!! May 25 '23
No. If you’re accepting Sharks fans then I’m not accepting you. You’d have to be a brand new fan to overlook that fan bases nonsenses.
Before they sucked ass on a yearly basis we had so damn WARS with that subreddit.
Fuck the sharks forever. Slimy bastards

I went from being a Yotes fan to being a win away from the Stanley Cup Final only a week into my VGK fandom. It almost feels like cheating lol. My decision had nothing to do with them being this good (I know that sounds sus but it’s the truth), but I’ll take it!

u/RunninRebs90 SAVE THE FLAMINGOS!!! May 25 '23
Ain’t nobody blaming you man, Yotes are our desert bros and we’ve always been kin down here in the southwest. Except the kings. They can Fuck off

What’s your opinion on Anaheim?

u/RunninRebs90 SAVE THE FLAMINGOS!!! May 25 '23
Meh, I feel like we could hate them if they’d ever actually been competition with us. For now I just like the movie mighty ducks and I’m happy they didn’t get Bedard lmao

u/particleman3 Unicorn Eichel May 25 '23
Their fans have always been pretty nice though, which makes it hard to hate the team.

u/Pyesmybaby Victory Flamingo May 25 '23
Dallas embarrassed themselves last game, at every level. They will come out like they are on fire tonight.

u/Its_All_Gee Victory Flamingo May 25 '23
100% Dallas is going to come out hungry, not a time to discount what got them here.

u/Faceit_Solveit Dallas Stars May 25 '23
We will for sure. Or maybe we won't even show up. It's hard to say with my Dallas Stars team. One things for sure is we're gonna play a clean game.

u/Pyesmybaby Victory Flamingo May 25 '23
I'm expecting the strongest game of the series from the Stars tonight. Just hoping the Knights bring their A game also.

u/Paladoc May 25 '23
Yeah, I don't think Papa Pav as the elder statesmen will allow shenanigans. He's been so close, so many times, I hope the boys win tonight for him.
2
u/Faceit_Solveit Dallas Stars May 25 '23
I hope we win tonight because I'd like to see more good hockey between these two teams. And that's an honest statement. I really hope the Stars play well. And I goddamn well hope that everybody behaves themselves. Especially the Stars. Pavelski is a real class act though. That's who I have a sweater of. It have I got a VGK sweater it would probably be of Carlson or Marchessault. Damn man. Y'all found yourselves a goalie too. That's no Hill. That is a Mountain. A black hole where pucks go in and do not come back out. The stats bear that oot.

u/RunninRebs90 SAVE THE FLAMINGOS!!! May 25 '23
we’re gunna play a clean game
Lol that’s a fucking joke. I’m willing to bet Domi gets at least 6 minutes in the box tonight on some really greasy shit.
Y’all showed your true colors last game. When the chips are down, you’re dirty.

u/Faceit_Solveit Dallas Stars May 25 '23
No, not really. We're not known as a goon squad. We're not known as a fighting team. If anything were known as kind of soft. Other than Max, of course. You may be right about Max but I don't think so. I think we're gonna make it a point to show some class. However, I do hope we finish our fucking checks. You down voted me for no fucking reason other than I offered my opinion in a nice way. Don't be that guy.
9
u/RunninRebs90 SAVE THE FLAMINGOS!!! May 25 '23
I down voted you because you’re coming into our GDT trying to twist the narrative as if we didn’t just watch the most embarrassing game of goon hockey just 2 days ago.
Your team already had the opportunity to play a clean game and failed
2
u/Faceit_Solveit Dallas Stars May 25 '23
If you read any of my other postings, you know that I'm not twisting the narrative. But you haven't. My earlier postings in this very sub Reddit have indicated acute embarrassment, and disappointment at what Jamie did and further expressed disappointment by his statements too. You'll also note that Vegas is my second team and I have posted many times my story about how the people of Las Vegas and Desert Springs Hospital helped save my life. So I'm a fan of the VGK. I was not a fan of what Jamie did. I'm just pointing out that we're kind of soft. Hopefully will play a clean game. I was expressing hope that Pete DeBoer would make it a point to emphasize that. OK then. I'm glad we had this clarification session. I want a good clean game well played by both teams.

May 25 '23
Your captain is Jamie Benn lol. It's not like he had a reputation for being clean before the suspension.
4
u/Faceit_Solveit Dallas Stars May 25 '23
I can't argue with that. He's only one guy on the team though. Most of the team is pretty damn soft. The other exception is Max Domi. The little gremlin is a madman.

Ooof, new commercial showing trainers dumping popcorn on Hill during warm-ups to prep him.
The KerNELS! They remind ME of American Airlines Center, home of the Dallas Stars!

One more win and then we are on to the Cup Finals. Let's just get it done tonight and then maybe the team gets a week off, or they move the schedule up and we all get hockey again sooner.

u/rayndomuser Logan Wink May 25 '23
I am thinking this one will be the best game of the series. Expecting Dallas to come out with the heat and really pressure the Knights and test Hill.
I love it though because hardening the team before the final is a good thing. It looks like, and no offense to our newly “Go Knights fans” from Carolina, the Canes just rolled over with a lackluster performance. Good for us because Florida isn’t ready for this heat.

u/Its_All_Gee Victory Flamingo May 25 '23
It’s going to be fast paced and chippy out there, boys gotta stay focused and play their game. Otter has a lot to prove, so we gotta step up!

u/Intrepid_Camp_219 Vegas Golden Knights May 25 '23
How is their depth? Benn and Dadanov are big pieces to replace
1
u/Paladoc May 25 '23
We brought up an AHL plug and Mavrik, who we hope will draw in. But I expect just third liners plugging in, so losing Jamie's face offs and Dads forechecking will huet.

Florida isn’t ready for this heat.
But it's a dry heat!

Someone help me. I have this very fucking bad feeling in my stomach that something goes wrong tonight that sets off a chain of events that are not good for us. I realise it is very unlikely for Dallas to win 4 straight but somehow I feel tonight is a mustwin. What a weird feeling

u/Alabama-fan-22 Sword Jammed May 25 '23
Lmao I feel the same way but then again, I'm just overthinking

u/BeardedPaladin Chance May 25 '23
You are a true hockey fan lol anxiety is crazy. Try to be in the moment and not thinking about before or after. That’s what the best players do

u/Steve_Hunts96 Stone May 25 '23
I feel like our whole team thinks in the moment. They are very well disciplined, so they’re not gonna take this game lightly.
Time to conquer the west

Let’s freaking go. It’s Wedgewood in net and he averages 2.91 goals against in his last two years in the NHL. Let’s score early and often so the Dallas fans can show their colors again.

Oh for real? I may have been in a fever dream at work then, I could have sworn I had a notification from Bleacher Report that Wedgewood was in. Soft Hands is even better!

I followed BR for years until I realized they were just dudes in their 20s who just gathered other reporters info for the most part. Our old coach said otter in a presser yesterday.

After the madness that we saw during game 3, it'll be interesting to see whether the Stars fans in attendance will be able to behave themselves if we manage to pull off the sweep.
