  1. The working theory on why Freddie wasn't even dressed was that Rod wanted to send a message to the team that it was Bussi's net no matter what, so sell out on defense to help him out.

  2. Freddie's healthy. He served as the EBUG since there are no emergency Zamboni drivers in the playoffs. If he wasn't, they'd have called up Cayden Primeau (remember him?). Freddie had to be able to go, they just moved the numbers around on the depth chart

  3. I get that I'm biased as a Hurricanes fan, but is it normal for the SCF series to be so utterly bonkers? This kinda feels like one that's going to be talked about for years.

  4. The more a watch this final the more I am seeing the opposite of everyone else. Where the entire hockey world are clamering that this has been the best finals in decades, breaking scoring records.

    I see a final of two mediocre teams that had an easy road through the post season. Haveing shit goaltending and average D come the final.

    Thats what 33 goals in 4 games tell me. I could be wrong but i dont think so.

  5. I can see it now. Game 7… Freddie is the Emergency goalie…. Bussi and Kotchy go down. Freddie rides out on a Zamboni…. and the Canes win it 6 – 3 for the most epic Stanley Cup playoff ending ever.

  6. This is why uncontrollable the ice for VGK team got some bad games so far what goes up, what goes down are totally wasted time in VGK history. They need to fix that until Thursday Knight will be overwhelmed, too!

  7. I’m not sure which of the two captains in this series is more crazy. Those are two leaders that have that look all the time that they want this BADLY.

    Couple things I noticed this game. The Hall Stankoven Blake line was obviously buzzing all game, just love the way those guys are playing, fast and fearless. Jack Eichel is really starting to be noticeable out there in the wrong ways. I wonder if he’s hurt cause he’s really had a poor series/ playoff in general. Still looks dangerous here and there but hasn’t done anything close to taking over a game. This is the beauty of a series where both goalies are generally shaky , total barnburner.

  8. So with the Freddie thing it wouldnt surprise me if it was simply Claude's funeral was today that's why he wasn't even dressed. Plus losing ur agent to taking their own life is HORRIBLE. As someone who knows people who've taken their own life its a terrible feeling and YeAH DESPITE ITS THE CUP FINAL I DO NOT BLAME FREDDIE IF HE ASKED FOR TIME OFF.

  9. This game was amazing. I have a question. Do you think if Jordan stall and scoring in every game of the series which would be at least eight goals potentially more and if he gets up to 10 which would break the all-time record of nine goals by one player in a Stanley Cup final, would he win the Conn Smythe

  10. I hope the Canes can win in 6. But, how crazy would it be to watch the bod raise the cup in Raleigh 20 years later? He remembered the anniversary, he wore a suit this time.

  11. I can’t help but feel that the owners and management is involved in staging these games. There’s obviously sports betting involved too Tom Dundon is on record, saying how much he loves hockey games with lots of goals as it adds to the entertainment value.
