Congrats, Canes! (2024)

The best laid plans often go awry. They usually manifest in the form of blown 3-1 leads. And overtime losses. Can you please stop torturing your fanbase?

[@MarkusAlkemus]

@@mesousagaby740 The Sharks as a franchise are defined by their above average finishes in most years and despite all their high performing talent, they crumble in the playoffs. The Panthers were an afterthought franchise for a good stretch throughout their existence and only recently decided to get serious. They haven't had a meme-worthy playoff failure series in a similar was as the Sharks like the reverse sweep in 2014. But if they keep pushing for a Cup run and continuing to fail until their window closes, they'll get there

As a lifelong Sharks fan, I can confirm the Carolina Hurricanes (2019-) are the modern San Jose Sharks. Every year we are told by "experts" how the Canes an elite team, Cup favorite, and dominate in the metrics only for them to consistently sh*t the bed in the playoffs. 1 Western Conference Final in the past 6 seasons, and that final they got swept by an eighth seed. In the 2019, they were that up-and-coming, metrics-sexy team that could contend for a Cup in the near future. Now, they are the team nobody takes seriously come the playoffs because they have proven, like the Leafs, they can't get it done.

[@cheetohands9]

Here I thought last seasons 4 OT loss was gonna haunt me for years to come then game 6 happens Most wins in a six year span without making the Stanley Cup Finals This was the best and last chance with a current core and they absolutely fucked it The modern day San Jose Sharks comparison is an insult to the Sharks at least they could actually get wins in the conference finals

[@jeffreysehnareh]

Canes more painful cruz no one care about Blue Jackets LOL

[@kennycai8695]

I lean more towards the Jackets, cause at least the Canes have their 2006 Cup win to look back on (their head coach, Rod Brind'Amour, captained that team, as a side trivia). The Jackets, them defeating the Lightning didn't amount to anything, cause the Lightning rebounded and took the "latest back-to-back winner" title away from the Penguins. Since then, nothing has gone right for this team. Even worse, in Ohio, there are more promising teams (Bengals, Buckeyes, Cavaliers) or a bigger laughing stock (Browns) that take the attention away from the Jackets. That is the real tragedy, where you are neither good or bad to be noticed.

[@manzac112]

Me too and I don't think they are very far from being a champ they need to finish better.

[@appealtoreason7584]

Why should you feel dirty? This was going to be a close competitive series. The canes were competitive all series long. It wasn’t like the rangers were dominating and kicking the canes ass the first 3 games of the series. A few bounces and it could’ve easily been 2-1 for either team after game 3. Rangers weren’t exactly choking a series away when it stayed as close as it was the whole way through.

[@nickcara97]

@@appealtoreason7584 you’re half right. Obviously it was very close and competitive as it usually is between these two particular teams. But that imo is exactly what makes the outcome all the more painful and biting. To play your asses off and throw everything out there and still come just barely short multiple years running? To me, that’s a more difficult defeat than that of a team that just never really put in the effort to begin with and therefore were never really burdened by such high expectations. In short, it’s not that the Canes didn’t deserve to win like some other teams, (not mentioning any names but if ykyk), it’s that they continue to lose in spite of the fact that they kinda do. Also, I wouldn’t say the rangers were choking strictly speaking, but Game 5 and the first half of 6 were def a flop compared to the first 4.
