We're down to the final four.

Poll closes June 4. You can change your vote until then.
 

Florida wins, far outplayed Rangers except Rangers had some good scoring chances.
 

Went panthers but hoping for the oilers so mcdavid gets one. Think the final is probably panthers-stars with the stars being the team I’d want to see win the least
 

Wow, Oilers were winning. Game now to overtime after Dallas scored towards the end of regular.

Connor McDavid opened OT by committing a double-minor!?! He's in the box for 4 minutes.

Update: Stars hit the pipe twice.

Update: Oilers kill it off. Out of the box comes McDavid.

Later update: McDavid with the wide open net for the win, but Dallas goaltender Oettinger gets his stick to the spot where the shot went and somehow stops it.

Goaltender duel.

It goes to double-overtime.

Rangers-Florida in OT, slugging it out. Really good hockey.

Rangers win!
 

Oilers with a mishap leads to an empty net goal for Dallas. Looks like they let this slip away.

Series tied.
 

Oilers now lead the series 3 games to 2 over Stars. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored 2 goals on 3 shots on goal.

Florida leads Rangers 3 games to 2. Florida looks like the strongest playoff team.
 

 





I would like Okposo to get his name on the cup.


Bonin21 and others know this but for others, there's a backstory to Okposo and the Gophers.




Gophers coach Don Lucia said the Islanders caused a tough situation when he left mid-season. Islanders basically said they didn't respect Lucia's coaching, or maybe that was the excuse to sign him at a bad time.


He's from St Paul and plays for Florida. He's played in over 1,000 games. Surely his long career must be nearing the end.


 




And the lights are going out in Dallas.

Edmonton leads 2-0 after 1 period in the elimination of Dallas game.

Connor McDavid with a terrific goal and a terrific assist.


 

Florida is heavily favored.

Game 1 is Saturday the 8th:



A Canadian team hasn't won the cup since 1993.




The Minnesota Wild in the Great State of Hockey have won the cup a record six times in a row, that was just a joke, correction, a bad joke.


 

Ya, bad joke. Minnesota is LOSERVILLE, USA when it comes to pro sports + college football and basketball. For those of us under 35, it's been laughable.

"Did You Know? If you started rooting for the four Minnesota teams 20 years ago, your overall fan experience grade would be an F and you'd be in the 99.9% percentile for fan suffering?"
 


Florida takes the 1 game advantage behind goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. Florida now is heavily favored to win it all. At age 35 he is the oldest to record a shutout.




He was never drafted into the NHL partly due to uncertainty getting signed players from Russia. He made his first NHL start in 2010. (The Wild later in 2015 drafted Kirill Kaprizov in the 5th round who didn't play until 2021 and now the team's biggest star).
