Glad to see Ovechkin finally get a cup and enjoyed seeing him celebrate. That was about the only thing that interested me about this series.

Really?   Cuz I don’t think the NHL could have written a better story...    1st year franchise in Vegas gets to Cup...   Ovi finally has a chance to annihalate the ghost of not winning a Cup....   Washington makes it to final for 1st time.   

Lots of great narratives.   

What would appeal to you as a hockey fan?

A Canadian team in the final, and winning.

I'd like to see that too.  Barring that, though, I think Ovechkin and the Capitals facing the upstart franchise was probably one of the more interesting things that might have happened.   If the Capitals hadn't been in the final, I might not have watched as much of it as I did.

It just struck me that:

MLG has rebooted interest in BOTH their clubs with big signings/trades in the offseason.

...aaaaand....

The Leafs used to do this, and I thought they had eschewed this approach for the 'full rebuild' approach.  Dunno.

Adding Tavares to what they already have should make the Leafs a top tier team, I would think. It's hard to predict exactly how things will turn out, but on paper it sure looks good.

is Ron Hainsey still their best defenseman? That might be a problem.

Who are you to doubt Ron Hainsey?

That's hyperbole, obviously. But the critique of the Leafs for so long was that they didn't have any top-line centres. . . now they have two. And a great goalie to boot. You add Tavarez to a team that got 105 points last year, that only means they're better.

Perhaps a trade for a Defenceman is still in the works.

Oilers fire Chiarelli as GM.

The problem with the Oilers is that they have 2 failures in Lowe and MacTavish still running things behind the scenes.   What a dreadful organization.

Game 7 Habs/Leafs tonight

I think the Habs win the series tonight.  They have a lot of momentum going their way.

The fans in the stands will be 550 healthcare workers. 

Great gesture.

Actually they blew 3rd period leads in both games that went to OT.

Game 5 was over pretty quick but in Game 6 Toronto was rather dominant. Carey Price needs to have another amazing game.

I hate leafs fans, but I feel bad for this team, they had some guys like Jumbo and Spezza I would have liked to see go far.

Jets and Habs both get horribly outplayed and ride their goalies into the second round, what a game.
