As it was happening, I was mentally DVR'ing that Letang shift on what turned out to be the golden goal...magical shift by Letang, Crosby with the apple...beautiful...

Watching Alby interview people is pure gold. Everyone is trying their best to get away from them, and he wont have that. THATS who was chasing down Sid when he was skating with the cup the second time. That guy - whoever he is - is a total f***head... He's a Pittsburgh media person? That's embarras...

I'd like to nominate Lovejoy for the unsung hero award.

He was phenomenal.

****** right boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally, I put those odds at or near zero. There is little precedent for that. One in 40 years. The other guy since '70 broke the goals record for a playoffs. There is no one on San Jose that is close to that type of performance this postseason...

I mean, that's fine and that's not wrong from a dopey media perspective, but the Conn Smythe Trophy isn't designated for "cutest story" or "least experience while winning a game" or "best cap hit:production ratio"...it's the MVP of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Matt Murray just doesn't register for me. ...

Hmm, just doesn't ring a bell for some reason...I guess I don't know every Penguin that ever played ever haha... 10 F and 5 D, just like it ought to be. I heard once upon a time that the NHL in their 100th anniversary season is going to release every official scoresheet ever if I'm not mistaken...lo...

Hmmm, not familiar with that goaltender "Holland"...never heard of him to be honest...

If it was in that Reilly Smith deal...which wasn't really a big deal at the time...

Stamkos -> Fla?

Fun fact: Gordie Howe only had two Gordie Howe Hat Tricks

I'm not sure that I had a point, per se...I was just kind of extinguishing what could have been the natural reflex to posting SCF ratings which is the post of NBA Finals ratings, which are way better...but those two sports don't have the same audience. The NBA has national appeal. It is a star-drive...

I don't know, but my assumption is that the World Series is drawing better numbers over a more geographically diverse area than hockey is.

I don't think that is on trial here. Baseball and hockey aren't on the same playing field...

I'm a very casual baseball fan at this point in my life, but baseball is a regional game? Never heard that before. I should have been more clear, from a TV/viewership perspective it is a regional/market game...not a national game. There is limited appeal to a Royals/Mariners game on national TV if ...

Just read an article on the NHL app "Statistical analysis confirms Howe is greatest player ever" Somewhere, mikey weeps I'm sure some case could be made with an emphasis on longevity, defensive and physical play. It would be kind of weak probably, but I could see an attempt being made. Quality of c...

Blue Crosby?

244570 If you don't like sports, just don't watch them...why be aggressively stupid in front of others...? Look. I bought a jersey and a few tickets over the last couple of years. I'm invested and they owe me a championship. I can't tell if that's a jab at me or not, but I don't care. I want my cha...

The one without Crosby and Malkin...? That's the choke...? Bad omen since they're basically playing without Crosby and Malkin now. Checked a score sheet lately? Not this one. Crosby has actually been awesome in the series. Malkin has been dominant since Murray gave up that first bad goal to Ward. T...

Agree with this jab.

Goals or GTFO is now win every game or it's a meltdown/choke/conspiracy

Solid.
