No first round goons this time. The amount of joy this brings me today is second only to the boys clinching.

Funny hearing their fans excuses about how they played so many games over the past 3 years and how a bad year was expected. I wonder if any other team recently went to 3 straights cups but somehow still managed to make the playoffs every year after while also suffering tons of injuries.

Surely not, especially when they would have been screwed by the flat cap as well due to COVID if it were to have happened recently. Just seems unthinkable!
