That's a lot of numbers to say "we are rating these as effectively equivalent to a coin flip which gives us an easy out if we're wrong."

To be fair isn't a coin flip a pretty decent model for playoff hockey?

Florida and Vegas will be going to the finals with Florida winning it all. A shocking and well earned cup win for a team that almost didn’t even make the playoffs to begin with.

Puljujarvi back to two injuries away from getting in the lineup.

Looking at those two top left wings and the entire 4th line I’m starting to think Rod can plug anybody into his lineup and his system will cover for em. Ghost Bear barely looks like a liability on defense anymore it’s insane

Is that 4th line "Stepan" as in "Derek Stepan," formerly perennial 50+ pt player with the Rangers? (I've only sparsely paid attention to hockey since 2019).

No, the requirement for automatically getting your name on the Cup is having played in at least one game in the Stanley Cup Final, or 41 in the regular season (for the Cup-winning team). Other playoff games don't matter.

I'll be more upset if he gets his name on the cup considering he's done absolutely nothing for the team since joining it.

edit:
17 regular season games : 2a
7 post-season games: 1a

That's it. That's his entire output.

He's there more for emotional support and nostril cleaning advice. Both integral parts of a cup run.

Carolina had their Pride Night back in January. I don't remember hearing that they'd ever planned to do jerseys, but the players used Pride-themed stick tape and there were the usual kinds of stadium promo and announcements for a theme night. It wasn't controversial around here, but this was before the Wild backed out on their jerseys and it all blew up on the news.

Oh. He lost his soul in Arizona. :(

he had very little athleticism to go around when he came up and was 22-25, was pretty much all really great instincts + hockey sense + skill. once he hit like 28 and lost even the little bit he had, it's been hard for him. good to see him learn to become a good faceoff guy and still contribute a little bit on the penalty kill and possession-wise at 5v5.
