Would love to see the Rangers win the cup, but this has the makings of Bolts in 5 or 6. Avs to beat the Oilers and then Bolts in 5 in the final?
I’d love to see otherwise… but dread it, run from it, Tampa Bay knows how to win in the playoffs

I’d love to see MacKinnon win the Smythe…and it would be great for the league. Tampa Bay has had a good run.

As a reformed die-hard Avs fan who follows the team closely but only watches a handful of regular season games at this point (I watch 70+ Nuggets games a year and decided I only had so much time for sports a couple years back), I am quite enjoying this run. That said--
A) I'm not sure we can beat Tampa if Kadri and Keumper aren't healthy. It's one thing to lose Girard because there are some young DMan capable to stepping up and eating his minutes. But Kadri was our best player other than maybe Maker for the first two rounds of the playoffs and goaltending is what steals series.
B) I don't think anything quite makes me feel as old as the fact that it's been 20 years since the last time we were in the cup. In part because that was my freshman year of HS.

If you weren’t following hockey at all, you’d think the VGK were some historically bad team. Instead they’re just a desperately run organization entering their SIXTH season.

Told his agent to get him as far away from Edmonton while still playing at a pro level.
Im sorry for the guy, not his fault Chiarelli signed him to that stupid contract.

Well I'll be damned 
The Philadelphia Flyers are in the final stages of negotiating a contract with John Tortorella for their head coaching vacancy, ESPN's Kevin Weekes reports.
The deal is not done, but the team has offered the 63-year-old the job, Weekes adds.
Tortorella will reportedly meet with the Flyers on Thursday to discuss the offer, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Tortorella was identified as one of Philadelphia's coaching candidates last month, and he said he was "very fortunate" to have interviewed with the franchise.
Philadelphia is in the process of selecting its seventh bench boss in the last 10 years after opting to move on from interim boss Mike Yeo. Yeo took over for Alain Vigneault in December and finished the season last in the Metropolitan Division.
Tortorella became a studio analyst for ESPN after he and the Columbus Blue Jackets mutually agreed to part ways following the 2020-21 campaign. He coached the Ohio franchise for six seasons, qualifying for the playoffs four times.
The two-time Jack Adams Award winner has also coached the Vancouver Canucks, New York Rangers, and Tampa Bay Lightning in his career, winning a Stanley Cup with the Bolts in 2004.
