At one point NESN put up a graphic showing the Leafs had iced the puck 10 or 11 times to 3 or 4 for the Bruins...that was towards the end of the second, beginning of the third...and it was after a sequence where they had iced it 3 or 4 times in a row over a couple of minutes of game time

Huh. Maybe I'm misremembering. But I remember thinking the Bruins were more equipped to get away with it because of their faceoff prowess in the series.

you can't even blame the sharks.

That was some fine goaltending in that game for sure

i didnt actually watch so i dunno.

i am fascinated by the implications of the vegas roster construction model

I wonder if they’ll have to rethink this after this season. The Vegas golden knights are like the Pearl Jam of the DIY scene

i don't understand either of these sentences

Sentence 1: They need to rethink how many players are protected in the next expansion draft because this is fucking embarrassing. An expansion team might win the best trophy in sports in its inaugural year while decades old franchises have never won it.
Sentence 2: While Seattle bands like Mudhoney grafted in clubs and put out indie records to build fan bases slowly, Pearl Jam “rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone” (aka all the other teams) to have a ten times platinum record like a fucking Randy Orton RKO (outta nowhere).
