Which Cup felt better?

If between the recent two, each was very different. '09 was watched primarily live at a hotel bar / lounge with new bar friends.

'16 was watched primarily DVR'd late into the night, sitting at home in a more sedate environment.

I thought '09 seemed more real because of watching it live, not delayed.

Out of the 2 recent. 2016. Sealed crosby's legacy imo.

I've been thinking about this and I have to say 2016... this year's team was just so damned much fun to watch. Even when the games were tight - and they pretty much all were from the ECF on - there was a relentlessness about this team... a drive to win that even when they lost they were just a treat to watch all game long. 2009 was great because it was 18 years since the last Cup, and the first of the Sid and Geno era... but this team, man... this team was something else.

Same, but 2016 still felt better to me for some reason.

91 and 92 felt pretty damn good, too.

You'll have to take my word for it, young grasshoppa.

Source of the post something had to take more of a back seat
The kids, right...?

Until those kids start pumpin' out Stanley Cups, you gotta go with a winner...

Congrats.

Little kids in the front seat would be unsafe.

2016, I saw every game of the finals live on TV

Definately an upgrade over internet radio
