Shocked to learn this is Marner's 50th career playoff game. Maybe he can get his 11th career playoff goal.

McDavid and Draisaitl's 50th could come in game 7 of this series, or game 1 of the next.

espn cares about the american audience because thats where the channel is broadcast. the playoffs are already a disaster for them; at this point the best bet for them is probably stars-vegas and florida-carolina.

TNT i'm sure is thrilled that their first final has so little juice

personally i think McDavid in the final would be Cool and Good, though

only mcdavid hoisting the cup will grow the game. bettman wants to kill hockey

i already agree with you!!!!!!!!!!


though to really grow the game he needs to threepeat. that's the most growth that bettman will never allow. because he wants to kill hockey dead.

The only players in the whole drat league who are on Joe Pavelski's level for instincts and hand-eye coordination are McDavid and Crosby. It's like the loving puck is magnetically attracted to his stick.

He also has the old man soft skills when it comes to position and timing where there will be like four 6'-5" dudes battling with eachother in front of the net and then Pavelski will suddenly appear in the middle of that chaos wide open 2 feet in front of the goalie with no-one else in arm's reach to put in a rebound.. Like I've never seen someone who is so slow get open so often in front of the other team's net and in the slot..

Is it actually surprising a team with a top-5 forward, the team that won the President's Trophy in the previous season, is actually good now that their goalie isn't playing like poo poo?

I want to blame the refs because they were terrible and Big Bob played great but having 3 of your 4 top players play like poo poo and well bellow their averages is not ideal.
