On this day in 1998, the greatest Stanley Cup handoff in NHL history.
The Detroit Red Wings became back-to-back Stanley Cup champions, and Steve Yzerman handed the Cup to Vladimir Konstantinov. ❤️ #LGRW
@teethunder1820@MeltdownRocks I’m not going to say what I wanted to because I respect Meltdown and I don’t want the words I’d say on the replies to his tweet, but you should probably do some research and read my reply to him for context.
@kristie_d_ Well I guess if they weren’t in three cup finals in a row, they’d probably have had a better farm team for depth. No one feels sorry for the Panthers, half the league makes the playoffs, plain and simple they didn’t play good enough to make it. Stop making excuses and move on.
@finznationftw@johnnydrama80@NHL Dude. You’re a fucking idiot ass crybaby. HALF THE FUCKING LEAGUE MAKES THE PLAYOFFS. You are fucking dumb. There was ONE team better than Carolina in the regular season. Then ZERO in the playoffs. Explain to how that’s insanely lucky you stupid brain dead prick
@johnnydrama80@finznationftw@NHL If they are the higher talented teams they shouldn’t just “have an off year.” There’s 82 games. Plenty of time to right the ship and HALF the league makes the fucking playoffs. Stop crying and making excuses. Oh, I’m not a Carolina fan, but nice try.
@finznationftw@johnnydrama80@NHL But the Hurricanes had a cake walk, if the east was that easy why couldn’t the almighty Panthers overcome adversity, show some depth and get in?
@kristie_d_ If the playoffs was such a cakewalk, I guess the Panthers should’ve been deep enough to play through this. I mean weren’t they back to back cup winners?
@johnnydrama80@NHL A cakewalk? If the teams Carolina played in the playoffs were that easy, why couldn’t Florida even make it in to the playoffs? People like you are fucking retarded and give hockey fans a bad rep.
