Vegas now they are at the end of the roll. As a Habs fan I want the Canes to be the champions. What a great group of players, the Capt and the Coach are the locomotive.

“No means No” Thanks #Canes fans

ALL potential Stanley Cup clinching games need to be in Vegas. The sight of a drunk Ovechkin walking through the casinos carrying the Cup in 2018 is one of the greatest scenes ever!

This time last year Brandon Bussi had yet to appear in an NHL game... He's now just one win away from leading the /Canes to a #StanleyCup. What a ride it's been for the undrafted 27-year-old.

Look, the guy is great, but he didn’t “lead them” to the cup if they win. He will have been a major part of it for sure, but give Freddie Andersen some damn credit… he wasn’t perfect but he got them all the way through the prior rounds of the playoffs. 2 of those rounds being sweeps! Sheesh.

Everybody on the double Dutch Bussi!

Sportsnet did a little profile on him last night. His brand is 'House Money' - And for the first month of selling his hats (here: buddyhockey.com/products/bud...) 100% of the proceeds are going to Austism Awareness! Like how can you not cheer for the dude?

Carter Hart continues his historic Stanley Cup by becoming the first goalie to concede 4+ goals in each of the first 5 games of a Stanley Cup Final.

If he just kept his legs shut, that second goal doesn't go in - Hart's junior teammates, probably

Nikolaj Ehlers is a frickin wizard. That pass was so smart. Hat trick of assists for 27 in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The only players to open a Stanley Cup Final with goals in the first five games are Jordan Staal, Jean Beliveau and Cyclone Taylor. Being on a hockey list with Jean Beliveau and a guy nameD Cyclone absolutely ROCKS.

Nikolaj Ehlers now has back-to-back 3 point games in the Stanley Cup Final. He’s elevating his play on the highest stage.

The fact that Jets kept this guy in a depth role for a literal decade is the much bigger miss than losing him in free agency. what an unbelievable waste of talent

@mostlyleafies.bsky.social

Wow. The slippery, diminutive winger with a history of struggling in the playoffs is turning in a performance for the ages in the Stanley Cup Playoffs after forcing his way out of town. I wonder how Winnipeg media is taking this

Most goals in a Stanley Cup Final via QuantHockey Staal's goal tonight gives him 6 which puts him a tie for 7th most all-time. He's 37 years old. Unbelievable effort from him

Bossy with 7 in 4 is obscene! Imagine being on the other side of that. "This f***ing guy again!"

Josh (garik16)2

It’s weird enough seeing Sam Reinhart equated with Mike bossy or Gretzky but Jordan might be even weirder

Andrei Svechnikov is the second player in #Canes history to score two power-play goals in one game in the Stanley Cup Final, joining Eric Staal (Game 5 of 2006 Final).
