Of course, it was always going to be this way

[Grand Moff Larkin]

J’accuse!

Well we now know that Hellebuyck CAN win big games

[Cacophony]

Mr serious stripped of the puck to cost the game

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Oh man J’accuse is missing some teeth from that high stick

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Well we now know that Hellebuyck CAN win big games

A way better narrative than “Jordan Binnington is good actually”

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Please stop showing J’accuse’s mouth

[practice]

Pretty devastating

MacKinnon is going to be haunted by that one forever

Same

They played great in my opinion. Couple insane misses/saves, and some fuckups that got punished. Pissed away a 5 on 3 and were denied an obvious PP on the two many men penalty. Can't really hate on Binnington but he did basically get out of the way of the winner

Cool that Kash Patel is partying with the boys, per Dylan Larkin’s IG live

[practice]

Yeah gonna be tough to not be disgusted by the maga triumph

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Did Larkin tag Patel? Was it just him focused in the video or did he just pop up? I’m grasping at straws in the hopes that the director of the FBI has the power to get in the room and the boys are just partying around him

[nick]

I dunno man, the screenshot I’ve seen is Larkin holding the camera with him, his medal and Patel. Apparently he shouts Kash out by name so

[Grand Moff Larkin]

[Grand Moff Larkin]

To this point I’d assumed Larkin was just a blank slate up there

[nick]

Sorry dude

I’m hoping the same for Hellebuyck, given his parents seem like actual nice people but who knows

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I do think there’s a difference between being actively MAGA and just not political enough to be against the head of the FBI being in the room (or Trump calling, for that matter). My guy is that for most of those dudes it’s just “Wow this guy is here and I got introduced to him and also just won gold wooo”

[practice]

A weird part of the feeling is how after th 5 on 3, the breakaway, a 3 on 1 they pissed away, it seemed like they just wouldn't be able to get a goal. To get that tying goal before the end of the 2nd and then like 2.97 xG (my estimate) in the 3rd and not score feels like a new level of "this can't be happening"

[sutterfamily]

He's too young to take actual BLAME but Celebrini had like THREE chances to win it in that last PP and missed the net on all of them. Not nearly as bad as McKinnon's but... bad.
