Oddly tonight was the first time I saw a home team win the Cup in a Game 7.
Bobrovsky should have won the Conn Smythe based on how the game played out.

I heard today the last team before tonight (well... last night) in north American sports to win a home game 7 was the Miami heat in 2013 but not sure if that's true or not or the parameters.Oddly tonight was the first time I saw a home team win the Cup in a Game 7.

Same I turned it off as well. Glad to hear Mcdavid got the Conn Smythe.Hard to believe what I'm reading here........some of you actually watched the post game stuff? The second the clock hit 0:00 I turned the channel, who the hell wants to watch those scumbags celebrate?
That is what I thought!Ummmm. That’s my daughter
Ugly hat for a franchise with 10 legitimate fansWhat an ugly hat.

Ok man...but Bob didn't really get hot until AFTER the Bruins series
IMO the B's lost that series mostly due to THEIR goaltending, not Florida's goaltending
Had to watch some of it last night as we were invited out to some friends place (3rd game night in a row) to watch.Hard to believe what I'm reading here........some of you actually watched the post game stuff?

Random thoughts:
Teary-eyed Keith Tkachuk singing along with Kool & the Gang's Celebration was glorious.
Seeing Brady Tkachuk happy for his brother was touching; though he's also celebrating now having a Vezina-winning goalie.
I learned about the trade via the blurb across the bottom of the screen; I thought prices were higher trading within the division, but Sweeney disproved that.
Maybe they're just growing on me, but I like Messier and Subban. They could possibly build a chemistry akin to Ron MacLean and Don Cherry, with PK being Grapes, and Messier his straight man.
I'm OK with McDavid getting the Conne Smythe, though I would've been fine with a Panther winning it after he went cold in the last two.
Having just averted a tropical storm, I was worried when I walked outside after game to heavy winds. Turns out it was just Jay Woodcroft exhaling.
Why would Edmonton trade for Ullmark who has 3 career playoff wins, when they came within one game of winning it all with Skinner in goal?Skinner gives up a cream puff for the GWG. One of the worst game 7 results ever. I would have rather seen Ullmark go to Edmonton than Ottawa. Shit day
You two look like a heck of a nice family lolUmmmm. That’s my daughter
I'd take Ullmark over Skinner any day of the week. Skinner was great from game 4 on in this series, minus the costly cream puff goal, but he's looked shaky ASF a lot through the playoffs as well. Better yet if they had a tandum like Skinner-Ullmark during the regular season he might not have been as worn out when the playoffs came around. But that would take getting into the boring salary cap/business side to know if that would work, I don't go there.Why would Edmonton trade for Ullmark who has 3 career playoff wins, when they came within one game of winning it all with Skinner in goal?
I bet Fanatics made generic 2 tone gray hats and had some with Florida logos if they won, others with Edmonton's if they won. Cost savings, maximum profitsWhat an ugly hat.

Yeah, 1 whole PP for the Oilers. And looking the other way for the rest of the game while Florida did their normal hook, grab and hold party.The refs were really pro Edmonton tonight. The Tkachuk trip call was embarrassing and the high stick in the third should've been 4 minutes.
