That goal is all Kimmo.... and I was right behind the net to watch it.
G did a great job sneaking into a blind spot, but doesn't happen if Kimmo puts his head down and cranks a shot like most defenseman would do there.

Somewhere Chuck Fletcher is blaming Covid.

The Flyers aren’t though because the people in charge now knew at the time that 19/20 was a fluke. (True story, Keith Jones said it)
It’s great to have adults in the front office now.

Vegas is scoring more in the playoffs than in the regular season. That’s weird.

Stone missed half the season, Barbashev was a TDL pickup. They have 13 of Vegas' 67 goals.

Quebec wins the memorial cup. Had no clue Simon Gagne was an assistant coach there.
Guess we know where our head coach in 2028 is coming from.

I hate this team
Qmjhl with 7 wins out of the last 11 years. No longer the ugly step-sister.

I don’t think I’ll ever see a Flyer score another Cup Final goal.That goal is all Kimmo.... and I was right behind the net to watch it.

So the Caufield Offer Sheet didn't go through?

True, but it's also a function of the Q teams loading up for championship runs. Quebec added 5 guys at the deadline to bolster the roster, including Robidas who led them in playoff scoring: Remparts de Québec – Remparts de Québec
All the leagues do it, the Q is just really good at it. Not sure about the WHL teams but Peterborough added several guys too.

This seems like a lot for a kid who already has had injury issues.

Not when you consider might happen to the cap by the time he would’ve signed his next dealThis seems like a lot for a kid who already has had injury issues.

Gatekeeping Canadians are the worst. The NHL should just award Montreal & Toronto the Cup every year because it’s the pure thing to do.

Vegas and especially Seattle aren't successful because of the expansion draft. It's what they did after that, moves any other team could have done.

I think Vegas benefited a little more with the first go around given the newness to it & teams less prepared compared to Seattle draft. But the biggest benefit for both is still the clean slate of salary cap picture. Not that it was by design but also helped it happened around a flat cap era.
These teams paid like $500M+ in expansion fees, even percentage wise for inflation that’s considerably higher than previous fees.

Seattle could be a monster house right now, but that expansion draft was rough. They could be better.
If the Flyers were running them, they'd be getting steadily worse though.

In a way, this is why I want Vegas to win the Cup.
It hurts less for a new team to win a Cup sooner than us because of advantageous expansion rules.

Vegas got lucky that a few teams had terrible and unprepared GMs like Fletcher and Tallon. Those two idiots alone combined to give them 4 of their top 7 forwards in their inaugural season.

They still had to make the right moves, remember when everyone was slamming Francis last season for blowing the ED?

'Ideal fit': Ducks hire Cronin as next head coach
The Ducks have hired veteran NHL assistant and AHL head coach Greg Cronin to be their new head coach.
In a world where the Flyers hadn't hired backwards, maybe Briere gets a shot to hire someone like this.
I will always give Hextall credit for landing on an outsider like Hakstol and deciding to give him a shot.
