The Ice Judge

That’s an awesome experience being able to see a guy score his first goal and then meet him! Blake seems like a good guy from what I’ve seen

Love that. Blake jerseys should fly off the shelves

Dominant series by the Canes. I think they get over the hump and get to the Final in the next 2-3 years. Love the addition of Ehlers, Miller, etc

I love this deal for Carolina. Blake’s possession numbers are insane for a 21 year old. Phenomenal defensive underlying numbers. This is a piece you need to win a championship

Some of the best seats in the house right there

Not just beating a rival in game 7, but dominating them. Thats a good one

Since #HockeySky is in a dead period, let’s do this: What’s the loudest hockey game you’ve ever been to? For me, it was Vegas San Jose Game 7. Ears were ringing for 48 hours afterwards

Oilers got Mangiapane, so I take it back

Free agency winners:
- Vegas (Marner)
- Florida (Easy to keep guys on that team)
- Carolina (Stankoven and Miller for less than 14 combined)

Losers:
- Kings (Ceci, Dumoulin, lost Gavrikov lol)
- Oilers (Bouchard a bit steep but probably the right number, Frederic too much term, lost Perry/Brown)

Same he was very deserving. Hard to not give it to the guy with 15 goals though

No Brady Tkachuk on the ice this year? Maybe doesn’t find it as fun this time around? (Kidding)

AJ Greer with the “pay me” gesture as Bennett collects the Conn Smythe lol. Yeah he’s getting double digits

Well as a neutral observer I would have liked to see a game 7…but the good news is Evander Kane’s name stays off the Stanley Cup

If Reinhart scores a fifth, does he steal the Conn Smythe from Bennett?

That did not look like offsides. Of course we won’t get a replay

This game is Stuart Skinner’s fault somehow

Ekholm caught crossing under the wrong way and Marchand is gone. One bad step and you’re toast in this league. What a play by the future HOFer

True justice

If, in the opinion of the Linesperson, any player (other than the goalkeeper) of the opposing team is able to play the puck before it passes his goal line, but has not done so, play shall continue and the icing violation shall not be called. This includes the situation whereby the opposing team, while in the process of making player substitutions during the play, are able to play the puck, but choose not to do so to avoid being called for too many men on the ice. Icing should not be called.

In case anyone was curious about that Mikkola non-icing at the beginning of the Overtime period. Certainly looked like Mikkola COULD HAVE played it, but it likely would have been a swing and a miss

Those Panthers fans who left the game early should never be allowed back in the building. How can you be that dense

Verhaeghe whacks Stetcher in the face, no call, Panthers score, 3-0. They should be able to just phone that one in from above. What century are we in

Fantastic goal by the Panthers but man Skinner and Nurse seemed useless there

Congrats to Hellebuyck on the Hart, what an accomplishment for a goaltender.

Does that presentation fire up Draisaitl a little bit before the game tonight or was he already well-aware and just over it?

Also nothing for Frederic snapping his stick on Bennett?

Classic NHL. Walman should have been suspended for the punch imo. Incredibly dangerous. Also funny that Greer didn’t seem to get fined for punching Ekholm multiple times in the back of the head?

That can’t be right, I was told in December there was no race

Misspoke earlier. Oilers are fourth team ever to have more than 80 penalty minutes in a Stanley Cup Final game. Panthers did the same two years ago.

It’s hard to even tell your team not to just cross check every single guy after the whistle. What’s the NHL going to do? Suspend you?

Wish I could say I didn’t expect this series to unravel like this. I can’t believe Walman just punched that guy as he was being held in a headlock

Dirty actions by players of both teams there. Unprovoked cross checks, punches to the back of the head. At what point does the NHL say enough is enough
