If Dallas loses and Carolina also loses, we get 29.

You never want to see that, but seeing the guy I want to see raise the Cup the least get the gate for taking out the guy I want to see raise the Cup the second least has me going through some things.

Ya know
The wheels are falling off in Dallas lol. Makes it suck even more that Seattle couldn’t get game 7

It's always something with these pricks.
With Dallas no-showing like this it would have been way cooler to see Seattle in the conference finals. Plus better draft pick.
Sure, I was rooting for them too, but it’s not like Dallas just stopped caring. Vegas beating them.

I was mainly referring to the draft pick lol. Vegas would beat them too

Just watched all the highlights of the Stars-Knights game, what a shit show by Dallas there. Two unnecessary penalties by Benn and Domi that get them ejected and then fans throw sh-t on the ice lol.
Really hope Florida beats Vegas in the Cup final, that would be f****** amazing.

They didn't just throw shit on the ice, they pelted Vegas players with it as they came down the tunnel and onto the ice for the third period. Every fanbase has bozos, but I haven't seen fans act out quite like that en masse for a damn long time. Especially when they weren't screwed over at all, they were just a bunch of petulant losers. Weird how well that mirrors the performance from the players. I guess if you watch that behavior from the team's captain for so many years, you pick up some tricks.

Should be a good Final. If Bob stays hot hard to see Vegas beat the Panthers.
Man, it feels nice to watch Benn slink out the back of the arena without talking to the press. What a chode.
Vegas v. Florida has the makings of a great final but I worry about Florida. I want them to win but I have seen numerous low-seeded underdogs 'goalie' their way to a final only to flame out. Then again, many of those teams didn't have absurdly deep forward cores like the Panthers do.

Pro sports is becoming predictable and boring
I'm now a Panthers fan.
The Vegas organization is nothing but a cheap casino slot machine.

Blues GM Doug Armstrong declines comment on Toronto Maple Leafs GM rumors
St. Louis Blues general manager Doug Armstrong’s name has been floated by reporters since the Maple Leafs GM vacancy opened.
There would be a few hoops to jump through for the Maple Leafs to hire Armstrong.
First, he would have to be interested in the job. Armstrong has been the Blues’ general manager since July 2010 and has been in the organization since May 2008. He built the Blues into a Stanley Cup champion and will become the longest-tenured GM in the league when David Poile steps away in Nashville at the end of June.
By mid-July, Armstrong would be the longest-tenured GM in Blues history, surpassing the man he replaced in Larry Pleau.
Then, for the Maple Leafs to even speak to Armstrong about the job, they would need permission from the Blues since he is under contract. That decision would come from owner Tom Stillman, who Armstrong reports to.
Teams currently without GMs, like Pittsburgh and Toronto, are best off hiring someone soon before the draft on June 28, or even the combine that begins on June 4. Now, if the Blues even allow the Leafs to speak with Armstrong, they would open themselves up to the possibility of dipping into June without a GM ahead of their biggest draft in recent history.
..........
A lateral move from one GM position to another has been unprecedented in the last 15 years. Many general managers that move from organization to organization do so with a change in roles and have not immediately jumped from GM to GM.
Ken Holland spent 18 days as a senior vice president in Detroit before he was hired as the Oilers’ general manager. Steve Yzerman was a senior advisor for seven months in Tampa Bay before he moved to Detroit. Lou Lamoriello was a senior advisor for 22 days in Toronto before the Islanders hired him to be the general manager. Dale Tallon (Chicago to Florida) and Jim Rutherford (Carolina to Pittsburgh) had similar paths.
Oddly enough, if the Armstrong to Toronto storyline does take shape, it will harken back to when Brian Burke went from Anaheim to Toronto in 2008. He stepped down as Ducks GM and then was hired by the Maple Leafs.
If Armstrong said ‘no comment’, I think that means he is interested.
The link describes it as a lateral move, but isn’t he the head of hockey operations in St Louis? It’s a step down in responsibility.
I think hiring Doug would be a smart move for Toronto. But it’s a pretty shitty time to leave St Louis.

What a disgraceful Game 3 by Benn, Domi and the Dallas fan base. You cross check a player in the back of the neck when he's on the ice ... not because you actually think you're going to lift the Cup later ... you know you're never earning the Cup. You are outmatched and so you Bertuzzi a guy
