Keith Tkachuk lifting the Cup despite never winning in his playing career doesnt sit right with me. Respect traditions Big (Very BIG) Walt!
I was all about Luongo though, that was awesome.
He is part of the org though, that makes sense.

Yeah he's in the Front Office and gets his name on the Cup. He's allowed to lift it. Now Drury just needs to hire Henrik in a management role>

I've been thinking the same thing, I know parents lift it all the time but him being a former player who never won it just feels wrong to see him hoisting it.

Different energy. It's a cold weather thing.
A large part of the city wakes up at noon. Not exaggerating.

Friedman said on 32 thoughts podcast that Rangers lengend Libor Hajek wants back in the NHL.
Also more cup shenanigans

Leon was clearly injured the last 2 rounds.
It was painful watching him try to do anything in the finals. He’s a guy who already isn’t really fast and he couldn’t push off and generate any power at all.

Jets sign D DeMelo to 4-year, $19.6M extension
The Winnipeg Jets have agreed to terms with defenseman Dylan DeMelo on a four-year, $19.6 million contract extension Tuesday.
That's one Trouba replacement off the board

In one respect, it is indeed a MVP award for the playoffs as a whole and the 10K view is McDavid had a great playoffs and nobody on FLA stood out statistically enough.
In another, McDavid is considered by many as the most talented offensive player of all time and on the short list of best players ever in the league. He's the captain of the team and he had a SC staring him in the face and he just had a weird game seven. Not FLA shutting him down, more like him fumbling the puck all over the ice, making bad passes, being indecisive, etc. For whatever reason, subjectively, it didn't look good even with the data looking great. He has to produce at least one goal there.
I would be more with it if EDM lost 4-3 in game 7 because of Skinner screwing the pooch and McD being in on all three goals or similar.

I will also admit to being wrong about that one. I thought firing Brunette was harsh, after he did such a good job with the team under difficult circumstances (Q being let go mid-season). Also thought that Maurice was just another retread, and if they wanted to replace Brunette then at least try something different than Maurice who had never got it done. Well, two cup finals and a cup after that.

Feeling it
Saw the SAME THINGS.
2 minutes after the final horn I saw fans just standing around like it was a foregone conclusion. Literally no one jumping up and down. No one hugging? No high fives? Falling down in the aisles in relief? Drenching ones self in beer? No complete and utter elation of winning your franchise's 1st f***ING STANLEY CUP ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?
Pathetic
No matter who wins, its a tradition for me to watch the celebration. Having played at a pretty high level theres always that .001% of me that wishes if things had broken just right, who knows - in some other distant universe. Regardless, I found myself happy for all of the players and coaching staff, even if they are an enemy team - because in the end its a truly special moment for all of them and their families. The amount of work, the YEARS of training and preparation. It all culminates into that Mt. Everest moment, as it truly is the most difficult trophy to win. Its about all of that work and sacrifice and knowing you are the one and only team left standing. Its something to really marvel at. If you are a die hard fan and its your team? Its emotions you dont even know exist until the moment arrives.
You wouldve thought it was a WWF belt ceremony by the actions of the crowd last night.
