Vegas plays the right way.
Fast, north-south, nothing too fancy, take the body, drive hard to the net, fire lots of pucks on net.
Very well balanced team that can play any style when the game turns.

Feels so good to see Vegas take the boot to Florida and also win on cheap calls. And Sam Bennett and Tkachuk getting hauled off to detention. Man, Bennett is a real piece of shit the way he throws those cheap shot punches at guys.

Their blueline is also exactly the kind of 6 man unit you need to win with. High skill, length defending, physical, can't be intimidated on a forecheck. Quick, efficient, clean plays.
No idea what the president of hockey ops with Fenway Group is watching to think there's a market inefficiency with small blueliners.

Hockey is so fun when you don't care who wins and you just cheer for the chaos.

Best thing the Leafs ever did for me during the 2007-2016 years was making me watch a lot of other great teams, for sure.

While it will be disapointing that the knights could win a cup in their 6th year of existence
Definately prefer them over the panthers

The curse of the Maple Leafs will strike the Panthers too.
No team that has beaten the Leafs and gone to the SCF has won in recent times. Boston lost twice (Chicago, St. Louis), Tampa (Colorado) and Montreal (Tampa).

The meme for when Eichel gets a cup before McDavid and Matthews is twenty years away, but I know who I’m rooting for.
He has ample time to trade any of them. Nobody (that we know) told Dubas he couldn't trade him. Keefe might be the softest coach in the league.
Around the NHL: Maple Leafs could extend Keefe, Penguins make big commitment to Dubas
If Sheldon Keefe keeps his job as head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, he'll likely get an extension, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Speaking of Dubas, Friedman says he has received a lengthy contract from the Penguins, who hired him as president of hockey operations last week.
"From what I understand, it's big term. I think it's seven years for Dubas to be the president of hockey operations and interim GM of the Pittsburgh Penguins," Friedman said.

I mean noted playoff warrior Johan Franzen had his mind literally broken by Babcock, not to mention his ego trip over Mike Modano and Spezza (both hockey players known as consummate pros)
Carlo Colaiacovo during his short term on the red wings: Guys hated him, tried to get him fired every year.
He said the leaders of the team (Stanley cup champions) tried to get him fired every year.
said the Marner story was just scratching the surface on how he acted with players and didn't treat them with respect.
Filpulla refused to waive his NTC to go to Toronto because of Babcock.
Chris Chelios said he was a douchebag too.
Seems like a lot of respected people think he was a Sith Lord indeed

There’s a lot of things we aren’t allowed to do. It is what it is.
It’d be nice to hear a ‘thanks for paying’ every once in a while.
Just think, how Wes McCauley and Dan O'Rourke could possibly call a zero penalty game against the Panthers with the way they call the game (a stanley cup final) tonite.

Bennet and tkachuk and gudas pulling the same cheap shit they always do, except they actually got penalized for it this time. Go figure.

To be fair, Hill has been very good since taking over back in round 2. It's not like a Kuemper (2022) or Niemi (2010) situation where the team is outscoring the issues in net. He stole a couple of games vs the Stars and owned the Oilers

League is crooked as shit but I’m glad they’re not getting dollars out of the GTA they could be. Screwed themselves! And screw Florida.

Am I going to see articles about how Pietrangelo was smiling and didn't fight back when he got that cheapshot punch from Bennet?

They have a really good coach, too. Their breakouts and relentless forecheck are proof. It also seems like any mobile D can be successful under Cassidy

Leafs should've drafted Hill back in 2015, what is wrong with this franchise?
