I enjoy watching Leaf fans suffer.

We I think we can all agree on that much at least.

McDavid and Draisaitl are the Trout and Ohtani of the NHL.

Is that a baseball reference? Do they still play baseball?

So they’re the two best players in the league? Finally you’re right about something.

All that talk about the dominance of the Eastern Conference and it's looking like the West could sweep the final.

Yes, Florida rode a hot goalie for as long as they could.  They’re looking more like the team that barely made the playoffs.

Vegas is one game away from winning the Stanley Cup.  The Knights are clearly the better team, and have far outplayed Florida.  Now they can wrap up the series on home ice Tuesday.

Jack Eichel could go from the Sabres to winning a cup in just 2 years.  Looks like he made the right choice.

Black Dog was probably screaming at the tv, too many men, too many men, call a penalty, there’s still time!

It is interesting to compare the media coverage between Vegas and Florida.  In Vegas, it's always the top story, they have Golden Knights updates, merchandise, etc. Parade times, features on players. While in the Greater Miami area, crickets.

Who would have thought a city only 1/2 the size, and in the same region of where the hopeless Arizona Coyotes play, that hockey would be such a hit.

Very good point.  I remember seeing huge lines the last couple of summers too, of parents bringing their kids to skate at the arena there.  That was a great move by the NHL to expand there.

They should relocate Arizona to Quebec City, or even a second team in Toronto.
