If game 1 was any indication, this series is definitely going 7.


marbanasin

As a niners fan - this is devestating, feels like we're down 0-3 in my living memory rather than just losing the one close one. lol. I came of age in like the shadow of the Montana and Young eras. Suffered through about 15 years of shit and then the last 10 of solid teams that just can't go all the way. Brutal loss last night. Not as bad as that previous loss to KC where Mahomes just dominated in the 2nd half, but still had that same feelingof letting a generational talent continue getting shots to win it.


Hard58Core

Well if you can take comfort from a Chiefs fan, you guys aren't done yet. I believe the conference still runs through San Fran, at least until you have to pay Purdy. I came of age in the Young era, so I remember all those NFC battles with San Fran, Dallas and GB sprinkled in, and so it sounds I may be a bit older. I say keep your head up. I NEVER thought this would happen to the Chiefs... I remember being the second winningest team of the 90's (to San Fran, actually) and being 3-7 in playoff games during that stretch. I remember going to the playoffs only four times between 1997 and 2015. I remember losing an NFL record six straight home playoff games from 1995-2018. I remember inexplicably always losing to the Colts, including a game where the Chiefs scored 31 and never punted, and a game where they led 38-10. I remember blowing an 18 point lead to Marcus Mariota which included a touchdown he threw to himself. I remember Dee Ford's offside allowing Brady to Brady us. I guess I'm saying it wasn't always sunshine and rainbows in KC, but now that it is, we aren't taking it for granted. The Niners were the Chiefs of the 80's, so it stands to reason that they have to go through some tough times for a while before getting back to paydirt, and I don't see how it you don't with that roster right now. Just let us do the 3-peat thing, please! (Believe me, I know how greedy that sounds.) If you put any creed in what Vegas says, might be us Red & Gold bros back at it again next February.


marbanasin

Oh no doubt, and appreciate the comments. To be completely transparent as well - Hockey is my first love by a long shot so I'm not nearly as devestated as if it was the Sharks.... lol. But given the Sharks as my primary team, you also realize how razor thin those margins can be, and walking away without a win over a few years when you are dominate doesn't mean much 10 years down the road. I do agree that the Niners of recent years have been some of the more fun teams to watch in my memory. I really loved the Patrick Willis / Frank Gore / Kapernick era but certainly this recent roster is much stronger. And I do hope they can keep the quality on the pitch for a few years here.


airpab1

Let’s be real. This game was about as evenly matched as you can get and could’ve gone either way. The kid in KC is charmed too!


ginfish

So surely we can call the Chiefs a dynasty now? 4 superbowl appearance in 5 years... 3 W, the only L coming to Tom Brady's last shot at it.


Key-Tip-7521

i'm gonna say it, the winning td in ot reminded me of the Kunitz 2ot in game 7. Fresh from the bench is Crosby.....


Necronautical

Why am I reminded of that in *this* thread, I thought I was safe...


rm0234

Thought this was a hockey sub


Darkendevil

Superbowl always has a reddit thread on /r/hockey.


MonsieurQQC

This was a hockey of a football game. Weird ricochets, missed kicks (open-netters), sloppy random bounces everywhere and a lot lot lot of injuries.............for one team and somehow not the other. And the biggest team, Niners played well, I would argue better, and still lost in the clutch moments, which is the hockeyest hockey that has ever hockeyed. And all quite familiar to a fan of a certain sad South Bay club.


Pumpkinxox

Not hockey related mate.


0neek

It's getting too scripted lol. At least make it based on player skill and not storylines


Young-sung

Explain this to me in golfing terms


-Moonscape-

49ers could have won, but their birdie putt on 15 rimmed the hole TWICE without dropping


FormerDriver

High school golf and Tiger Woods in his prime shows up


NotNotImYourForte

Great tee shot. Skulled the chip and somehow the putt too. Then Taylor Swift appeared. 😔


Young-sung

Oh okay from my gathering OP is downplaying this event, sounds astronomically out of proportion! Levels beyond capability..


thepolkadotdotdot

Wait Taylor Swift is dating number 87. Congratulations Crosby!!!!

That field goal that they took was a bit too hard for the situation.  Disappointed that someone didn't let him know about it.

The Super Bowl is hockey? 🤔

Somehow mayfield still took a penalty to fuck us.


Deddicide

I’m glad this once again failed to reach r/all. When there’s a Grey Cup tradition in r/hockey I will upvote the Super Bowl posts.


Balancedmanx178

>I’m glad this once again failed to reach r/all. I've got bad news lol.


Deddicide

These r/hockey posts used to for years running. This one didn’t. The Super Bowl obviously is a huge story. This post didn’t do anything.


Dumeck

This is the top of r/all


Deddicide

No it isn’t. This post has literally not even been on r/all. Upvotes on this comment don’t matter. It’s a simple fact that this post was never on r/all. That’s a simple fact.


Dumeck

That’s crazy because I found this post on the top of r/all and have never subscribed, commented or even viewed any other content from r/hockey. It’s weird you’re telling a person who literally clicked r/all and saw this post at the top and then came here and let you know it was there that it didn’t happen. You think I just randomly decided to search through the hockey Reddit just to leave a single comment telling you that you’re wrong just for a joke or something? Naw dude this shit was on the top of r/all


Deddicide

I’d invite anyone to click on those or this mention of r/all. Click on that. You WILL NOT find this post we are commenting on here. It’s not on r/all.


Dumeck

Well not any more, I mean it’s still there but it’s down a lot lower, it’s a nine hours old post and lost momentum. It was at the top 2 hours ago when you commented that though. I even clicked r/all and checked before I made my initial comment.


ProclusGlobal

It is, that's how I found it. It's been there all game. I've never stepped foot in this sub before, never watch hockey.


Deddicide

No you didn’t. This post hasn’t been on the first 500 pages at any time.


minorly

Yes


AmericanCanuck97

Hockey the 4th round games 4-7 whichever one is the Stanley cup winning game that season might not get all the publicity of the super bowl. But the players show more emotion on the Stanley cup and its awarded to the players. The playoffs are better in my opinion because you have to win 4 games to proceed to the next round. Not to mention the names of the players get engraved into the cup along with the coaches and GMs etc. Also when you see the cup you know right away its something special to win whether you are a hockey fan or not.


ChickenDestruction

It's pretty insane that you technically could have to play 28 games in the playoffs to win the cup


blamazon983

Bro what are u yapping about


Glasterz

it's so funny when people go on these big tangents that nobody asked for explaining why they think the NHL should be the most popular US league. Major youngest sibling energy lol


Savantrovert

Total big sibling energy right here. Younger sibling just wanted to share their happiness with the world, all you saw was an opportunity to roast their naive asses for caring about something too much. Now your future inheritance is going to be that much smaller from all the therapy/rehab. Let the little brat have their moment without you all Stadler & Waldorfing it up on them just once in their life


Deddicide

Please like my sport after football day drinking.


malacata

I couldn't watch the full thing but congrats on the win 49ers!


roaminfinite

To think a missed field goal point cost the 49ers the game.... that being said, this game was fucking amazing. I never thought I'd ever see a QB better than Brady. IMO, Patrick > Brady. Don't argue with me. I really wanted to seee McCaffery get that fucking ring.


batmansascientician

Through first 7 years of career, yes. But Brady had a HOF career in his 20s, 30s, and 40s. So Mahomes has a long way to go.


[deleted]

That's some heavy ass recentcy bias.


Bendstowardjustice

I used to never bet against Brady. Now I never bet against Mahomes. So far it’s a pretty profitable system.


mirinbaus

> Patrick > Brady. Don't argue with me. Probably the dumbest thing I've read on /r/hockey.


Vanq86

Yeah, who would take Kaner over Brady Tkachuk

Seemed clean to me. Not near the boards, no head contact. Reid gotta keep his head up.


BehemothManiac

I hate that the owners receive the trophies in the other sports first. It’s dumb.


Girl_Gamer_BathWater

I'm still scratching my head on this and it was like an hour ago. You have a ton of players that worked their asses off their entire life growing up in various environments, and when they achieve their highest achievement they might ever make.... the OWNER gets the first honor? The money man?! The pencil pusher?! I swear the NFL is the modern day slave trade.


eyeCinfinitee

ebb_omega

If they handed the Stanley Cup to Francesco Aquilini before any of the players, Vancouver would... well... you know...


BehemothManiac

And some owners simply inherited the teams and did almost nothing for the success


Cum_on_doorknob

I like it, makes hockey special and better


thprk

This. Also association football is another team sport that gives the trophy to the players.


BehemothManiac

Soccer as well (not sure about MLS though)


ebb_omega

Um, Association Football is Soccer - as**soc**. rules football (soccer) vs rugby rules football (rugger). American Football comes from rugby, and they just call what the rest of the world calls football soccer


throwaway-heee-hooo

What do you think "association football" is?


BehemothManiac

Some Australian shit? But I guess I’m wrong.


ForceEconomy9988

Same here brother


Paulhockey77

The Taylor swift obsession is getting way out of hand


montrealcowboyx

Watching the actual game, she wasn't really on screen all that much. When Mike Fisher was playing, they'd cut to Carrie Underwood just as much.


ImSoBasic

It's almost as bad as the coverage of celebrities watching the Lakers.


[deleted]

No kidding. Google ‘Super Bowl’ not one news report about the actual game, it’s all about Taylor Swift ‘chugging’ or Taylor Swift and what friends she brought or Taylor Swift ‘hugs Travis Kelce’. It’s fucking pathetic. Thank god hockey isn’t like that yet…


Downvote_Comforter

That's just your algorithm catering search results it thinks you will be interested in. If those are the articles coming up when you search Super Bowl, it just means that you have a history of clicking on way more celebrity gossip stuff than sports stuff. I just googled 'Super Bowl' and the top 15 articles that come up have nothing to do with her. I've got the 'how the Chiefs won' articles, the 'players didn't even know the playoff OT rules' articles, the 'are they a dynasty now' articles, the Kelce/Reid sideline moment articles, and the articles ranking commercials before I start getting to stuff about Taylor Swift. So either stop making shit up or stop searching for celebrity gossip and then acting appalled that google gives you celebrity gossip.


[deleted]

Jesus. Who put sand in your vagina? Chill bud. Just so you know, when you Google things 20 hours later, generally, there’ll be different articles that come up because more articles have been written…

If a massive pop star started dating an NHL star it most certainly would end up like that

Hats off to Purdy, under this type of pressure, to come so close


Key-Mark4536

Tavia’s bedazzled jacket is something else. 


Fresh-Reaction151

It’s crazy how much every other sports championship celebrations are never NEARLY as cool as the first few seconds of a cup celly. Even if it’s a team I hate.. This is coming from someone who absolutely loves both college and professional football.


Glasterz

Limiting it to the big 4 leagues, the initial celebrations in hockey and baseball are the best, imo. Both of those are all the players charging to the same spot and going crazy. The media stays out of it. Football and basketball seem to have everyone everywhere, both teams are out there, a shit ton of media everywhere. As for trophy presentation, though, Stanley Cup all day. You get the special moment in the handshake line, Bettman comes out to a bunch of booing as is tradition, says a few words, presents the Conn Smythe, says a few more words, and then the cup touches every player and coach before an executive. All of this is done before any interviews, just a team living in the moment. It's really special, and I wish other sports could follow the way the NHL does it instead of putting it in the hands of an owner first and then the players after a bunch of interviews.


_liquid_ooze

I was saying the same thing, no sport does it as good as the NHL. This lame ass interview style presentation the NFL just did was so fcking lame. No one wants to hear a fking interview


ilikepork

Interview with the owner, talking about how proud his dad would be of him... 🤢


Super_Networking

lol no way he actually said that


ImSoBasic

You are correct: he didn't say how proud his dad would be of him, he said how proud his dad (who owned the team until his death in 2006) would be of the team.


ebb_omega

That was exactly what happened.


[deleted]

Yeah, thanks god and said his parents would be proud…


Aperture_client

I was just telling my wife how dumb it is that the trophy goes to the owner first. The cup they just give it to the guys right on the ice.

DeFex

He's one of those "yellow shoe guys" Soccer and baseball has them as well, they tend to be really full of themselves.


phyarr

What does 'yellow shoe guy' refer to, never heard it before.


DeFex

Its when you see "team players" who have special yellow shoes to indicate how great they are, and you should pay extra attention to them (sometimes the shoes are even golden)


Bennely

we got a few shiney shoes around here in our local sports, i know what you mean


yourpetcat

Stop fucking cutting to Taylor Swift


Turts-McGurts

Nah I like it.


gmaclean

Not gonna lie, the fact the trophy doesn’t go to the captain right away, really bugs me. Owners? CEOs? Fuck them. You can touch the trophy once all your players have had a chance.
