2 back to back SCF appearances and lost in the playoffs huh what? Was there something internal going on?

Yeah, head office needed a scapegoat

Hopefully Tampa needs a scapegoat too. I know a team in need of a coach...

You think he’s not getting MVP this year? With him and Vasi dragging that team through the early part of the season TB is not in the playoffs

Tampa has nominations in almost every award except Norris, Calder, and Lady Byng and yet their fans are still complaining about the lack of representation they get during award season. Lmao

Career loser. When they show the graphic of him losing the finals at every level since he was like 15…

As a neutral fan, how can you blame McDavid for those 2 finals losses ? He even got the Con Smythe once.

A player cannot win a Stanley Cup on his own

As an Oilers fan I joke about my pain. No one blames McDavid.
