Brady celebrating too

[nick]

Well that sucks

[Cacophony]

Hate this

[Cacophony]

Idk about you guys but I love seeing Sam Bennett, Ryan Lomberg, and the worst state in the country winning the cup

[Grand Moff Larkin]

McDavid deserved the Conn Smythe

Wish he’d scored tonight

[Cacophony]

God shut up Gary. No matter how many cups Florida teams wins this is a huge financial failure

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Most hated Panthers:

Evan Rodrigues: I refuse to believe he’s that good. You can’t make me.
Ryan Lomberg
Nick Cousins
Matthew Tkachuk
Sam Bennett: Serial killer eyes, definitely drowns puppies

[Cacophony]

Paul Fenton: Stanley Cup champ

Most hated Panthers:

Ryan Lomberg

These guys all suck but it’s the same every year. Happy for Bob, Maurice, OEL, okposo, Sasha

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Yeah this Panthers team was honestly less loathsome than last year's. Like if Radko Gudas got a day with the Cup he'd used it to cripple division opponents while they sleep.

[Cacophony]

Ha! Suckers!!

[Cacophony]

The Conn Smythe discourse is insane to me. Who else was supposed to win the best player in the playoff award then? It wasn’t even close!

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Sabres come out on top yet again

I saw that PNES beat writer Josh Yohe had a dumb Conn Smythe take and I suspect some “Uh Crosby would’ve never done that” homer bullshit is behind it

[Cacophony]

Well you see NA he didn’t have a point in 2 games and his team lost. So everything else he did for almost 2 months is irrelevant

[practice]

I'm still on the bus home and it's light out

[practice]

Just passed someone out flying a drone in a big park

[Cacophony]

All my thoughts and love to our brothers Bengpod and Cap. I’m sorry Kev love you fellas

[practice]

Bouch/Ek again were basically perfect. GWG was a stinker on a familiar level to Leafs fans in that yeah he should have stopped it but also yeah they only scored one goal. but man. I thought the oil fell in love with the point a bit too much in the 2nd, I wanted to see one of the low forwards try to take it to the slot.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Panthers did a great job denying the middle of the ice in the defensive zone. There were some great chances in the third, a lot of chaos in front, but the Panthers dove in front of shots and locked up sticks.

On that Reinhart goal, both Ceci and Kulak fell back into the same spot and gave Reinhart time / space to shoot, but I understand wanting to cover the pass to the slot. Ceci didn't have great positioning on that coverage (I think it was Verhaeghe and he would've been able to receive a pass and shoot) so Kulak had to help.

I really want to know if Draisaitl had a core or lower body injury. He had no burst / acceleration for the last two rounds.
