I saw one guy on TSN say if Vegas wins the cup Markets a lock to win Conn Smythe even if he doesn't score a goal just to piss off Toronto

Sounds dumb. The final decides the Conn Smythe so much of the time, unless someone has done just amazing before that and just has a so-so final. I don’t think anyone has been THAT amazing so far that they should be that big a favorite or could coast to the trophy.

I was thinking this as well. Not necessarily a lock, or to piss off Toronto, but the narrative does give Marner a lot of extra win equity.

O Canada

Elbows up

Switzerland keep ruining the WC final by showing up in it

Closing in on 180 minutes of hockey played during the last three finals and they're yet to score a single goal. Only three in total.

switzerland not winning seems like a win for everyone else

lol those dudes getting trucked after the goal, talk about insult+injury

These mother****ers have been to three finals in a row and haven't scored a single goal despite two of them going to overtime. Get them out of here

So it has been revealed that Claude Lemieux son found him in the furniture warehouse were he had hung himself . So Sad

so the only neutrals supporting vgk are the dozens of nic dowd and rasmus andersson fans? lol

0-0 to penalties in their national dna it seems

werenski wins norris on a lottery team because everyone has apparently developed a severe case of bouchard derangement syndrome

that's 22 guys. so that's basically what a #1 dman looks like now, you need one of those guys.

then there's hronek, r.andersson, dobson, dunn, byram, m.samuelsson, ekholm, clarke, d.hamilton, theodore, sanheim, k.miller, rielly, harley, b.burns, l.hughes, letang, montour, s.jones, chabot, etc

it's crazy how many good dmen there are these days ... like 20 different ppl could be norris finalists in 2027 and i wouldn't be shocked

Bouchard sucks defensively and gets all his points on the powerplay with McDavid or Draisaital.

Vegas in 6

I’m anxious.

Ehlers too small for the playoffs again

What a start!

tru

Mixed vibes for finals.

CAR crushing is probably best result for Habs.

Marner (and Hart) winning cup is best for lols.

I guess just a good series with lots of OT is ideal

Ehlers!!!

7 day layoff between playoff games is always death.

God job on the 2nd PP unit, burning through 90 seconds doing nothing

Carolina dominating the period and only up a goal…always scary
