That was an unbelievable intro by Sportsnet. First great one they've made since they fired Tim Thompson years ago.

Is there always a super long intro like this before game 1 of the finals?
I don't remember Avs/Lightning doing this. I especially don't remember them bringing the f***ing Stanley Cup out to chill there during anthems.

I definitely know that most years the Stanley Cup does not make an appearance until the first night it can actually be awarded.
Verhaeghe is Miami's Lehkonen.

He's a 3-4 steps above really... my dark horse Conn Smythe.

Yeah, I agree. I just meant he's absolutely clutch for them. Always getting them the first goal, the equalizer or the OT winner. He's got 5 OT Winners. Only Maurice Richard (6) and Joseph "No quote" Sakic (8) have more. That is some damn elite air he's breathing.

Yeah... he's got the clutch gene for sure. Amazing to think he was a healthy scratch on that 2020 Bolts team.

This is kinda surreal. For those that were around in '96. How many of you thought you would one day be cheering this hard for Florida?
I've always liked following them because George Richards is one of the better hockey journalists. I loved his On Frozen Pond column back in the day. Something about reading hockey in the Miami Herald always just feels so weirdly appropriate.

I was young and dumb in 96 and I thought JovoCop was going to lead them to every Cup final. I had zero idea that he actually sucked.

This is where Miami really starts to shine. They thrive in the stuff after the whistles. They are also like a pack of rabid dogs when it comes to stuff around the crease.

Great period by Bob. This is definitely one of those games where you'd be down 0-3 in a period with Fourgiev in net.

Holy shit....SOB doing a draft king's commercial? I guess Tocchet would've been a little too on the nose.
Thats one of the best cat Gifs I’ve ever seen
They’re getting Shania Twain for the game 4 pre-game? That don’t impress me much (now but would’ve 20 years ago)

I'm not drunk enough to appreciate this properly.
