Phil Pritchard has been the keeper of the Cup since 1988
He’s an interesting guy. Talked with him while Cup was at the Entry Draft at the ‘X’.
Keep your stick on the ice...

I’m the only other person who wants that job.😉😂
So is EDM finally gonna upgrade in goal. I’ve been saying for 3 years that Skinner isn’t winning them a Cup
I touched it but never kissed. (The cup)
Geeked to see Nate skate the Cup
Kane not in the handshake line whatta turd
Barkov first European to captain multiple SC winners interesting

I believe he couldn’t be after getting a game misconduct.

My first thought was Niklas Lidstrom but he was only captain for 1 Cup in DET
No booing Bettman?

There’s no better spectacle in all of sport than every player skating the Cup, especially when the home team takes it

i always love guys like t.j oshie hoisting it, guys you watched in the highschool hockey tournament as kids reaching their ultimate dream. Can’t even imagine how their parents feel when that happens.😁

It’s interesting to see how many front office and off ice staff makes it on the ice.

Phenomenal post game coverage by TNT
Matt Tkachuk gives the Cup to dad to hoist, brother Brady in all the family pics, but doesn’t touch the Cup. Though I’m pretty sure he held it last year.

Also love letting all the families on the to celebrate. Seeing every players family celebrating with them and taking pics really makes you appreciate all of what it took to get them there
Reinhart the first player to score 4 goals in a Cup clinching game since 1922
(yes I know there was 2 EN)
They definitely need some kind of shakeup there and usually some team has a backup that’s worthy of a look as a starter or one hits free agency. That said it wasn’t all the goalies fault this series, Bob made some nice saves (the breakaway save to start game five being a big one) but it didn’t feel like he had to do a ton in the games they won.So is EDM finally gonna upgrade in goal.

Edmonton just didn’t come close to the scoring depth of Florida. They also need to fix their blue line a bit, Bouchard is great offensively and pretty mid defensively, he needs to improve that side of his game. Kulak and Ekholm are fine on D but the others are pretty bad, especially Klingberg:

Personally, I found the finals and generally the entire playoffs underwhelming. There were a couple really good series (WPG-STL especially) and a number of remarkable moments, but overall it was kinda "meh" for me. The finals had three OT games, which WAS awesome and three one-sided wins for the Panthers. But all credit to Florida. They're talented, well coached and intelligently managed. Back to back Stanley Cups is a nice legacy.
So they say Minnesota is the state of Hockey, Florida has won the Stanley cup 5 times, 3 with Tampa and 2 with the Panthers, Minnesota 0 😡
Aloha!

For me the nearly week off between conference finals and the finals starting just killed momentum and my interest. On top of the the seemingly random schedule of a lot of 2 night breaks between games. I moved on to other things. The Stanley Cup being lifted in mid to late June, no thanks. The whole season is way too long at this point.
I could be misremembering, but I feel like growing up the cup was almost always awarded the first week of June, usually before school let out because my friends and I would talk about the winning team (and the absence of a Minnesota team). Maybe I am wrong.
June 17th, with the potential for a additional game on what would've been the 20th is just way too late in the year for a lot of people. I have to imagine a lot of casual fans didn't even know the NHL was still going. My extended family were already going on camping trips and things where they only get basic OTA channels (ABC, CBS), if at all, and no access to TNT.
