Vegas wins and Phil Kessel's name will be engraved on the cup more times than Bobby Orr's.

Yikes.
I kind of forgot Kessel was on Vegas. I paid little attention to that series but never heard his name. Is he even dressed for games? I think even Kolasar has a bigger impact than Kessel.
McGarnagle
Yes.

He dressed the first four games against Winnipeg but hasn't played since. Not sure if he's injured or if it's a healthy scratch thing. But his ironman streak still counts.

Vegas will be FLA's toughest matchup yet. Gudas, Bennett, and Lomberg are going to have a tougher time bullying and pesterizing VGK.
Bobrovsky likely needs to stand on his head for FLA to win. Hill just needs to be very good.
Vegas the better team on paper. FLA the hottest team in the playoffs.
TV ratings will likely be piss poor based on the teams playing, but I am really looking forward to seeing how these teams stack up against each other.

Milan Lucic Shares the One Team He'd Like to Play For Before Retirement
Milan Lucic is far from his days as a core piece on the Bruins roster or any roster for that matter. His value today lies more in his grit and effort.

Makes sense. You want your own guys in there and not to inherit the staff from the previous regime, since it did not go well.

Lucic playing for Vancouver? He has every right to do whatever he wants, but yuck. 2011 is a long time ago now but that would still just feel really wrong.

Well yes, but Bruins were the "better team on paper" too and so was Carolina and Toronto. Paper means nothing. Nobody on Vegas matches up with Tkachuk. If Bobrovski keeps playing the way he has been, Florida will win the series again.

He was a big Vancouver Canucks fan as a kid. He played for the Vancouver Giants. Todd Bertuzzi was his favorite player back in the day. I would be fine with him wanting to play for his hometown team despite the negative feelings I have for that organization. I get it.
Thing is, I wonder if the fans would totally embrace him. They were pretty butthurt after the Bs won the Cup. His family's church was vandalized. His grandparents were harassed at Rogers Arena on multiple occasions. He got in that bar altercation in Vancouver a couple years after winning the Cup and was so disgusted with the city that he said he would never set foot in downtown Vancouver again unless he was playing in the arena.
Like you say, it was a long time ago, however it might not seem so long ago to a good part of that fan base that still cannot get over what the Bs did to their beloved Canucks. I won't have any ill feelings at all towards Looch if he ends up playing for his hometown team, but, yeah, it will feel wrong.

As a Bruins fan, I approve of this message. Treliving is perfect for the Leafs since his teams in Calgary were playoff disappointments.
I know that it has no relation to Boston other than the name, but kind of funny that Treliving's dad owns Boston Pizza.
Yeah I get all that and I understand why he's interested. In his situation I probably would be too. I'd like to think even the cranky Nucks fans would let bygones be bygones if he did sign. But yep, it would feel really odd.
Regardless, I hope somebody gives him one last contract to finish up with. The body can't go as it used to, but you still won't find a better guy around the locker room and one more willing to step up for his team than Looch.
