I guess not. Fair point ... different question than a coach who won the Cup after taking over midseason. That being the case, Scotty Bowman ('92) should be there as well.

I would probably be rooting for you guys against 29 other teams in the league. Still remember fondly watching Blues prospects playing for the Worcester IceCats in the ‘90s.

Larry Robinson was interim with New Jersey when they won in 2000. took over in late March. Lou liked the fire guys before playoffs shtick.
Maybe that is the reason for that song......although I never pictured Gloria as fat in that song......
Similar to what the Kings did in 2012. Mid season coaching change and got in late as the 8 seed. Then proceeded to mow through the playoffs. It's quite a ride and enjoy every minute of it. If you can swing it, try and get tickets to at least one game. It will be worth whatever the cost......

By pure luck, I'm going to be in The Lou at the time Game 6 would take place.
Right now it would be cheaper to go to a game in Boston.

Shamelessly stolen:
If I were to write a movie about a hockey team:
-I'd begin with a team that has never won Stanley Cup and hasn't been to the finals in nearly 50 years.
-I'd put that team in last place in the NHL halfway through the season.
-I'd fire the coach and bring in a guy that very few people know.
-I'd promote a rookie goalie... who would miraculously get hot... and lead the team to the playoffs.
-I'd have one playoff series go to 7 games and win it in double-overtime.
-I'd have the refs steal another game in overtime (by an obvious penalty that wasn't called.)
-After that "hand pass", I'd have my team outscore the competition 12-2.
-I'd have one of the hottest Hollywood stars as their biggest fan and even talk about the team on Jimmy Kimmel.
-I'd also write a story line about how the other professional sports team in town (who everyone loves) starts showing up at games to cheer.
-During one playoff game, I'd write in a tornado that cancelled the baseball game so the entire city could focus on the clinching game of the Western Conference Finals.
-Then I'd have them play the team that beat them 49 years ago, from Boston no less.
-And just for kicks, I'd include a little girl battling cancer who is befriended by the team. She would survive and go on to be at the playoff games.
But who would believe all that?

Very few people know Berube? That’s a stretch since he had a 17-year career as an NHL player.

Kings/Canucks in 2012 was one of my favorite series in recent memory not involving my team. It only went five games, but the quality of hockey in that series was incredible.Gally said:

I'd have the winning goal in that Double OT game scored by a hometown kid who always dreamed of playing for the team one day.

Gulls are tough. Steel and Comtois both with a point per game in the playoffs as rookies. Canada probably still being a #### to Comtois.
Brown's hit on Sedin at the bench woke up the Kings and made them believe. That playoff stretch may have been the best hockey I have ever watched over a prolonged stretch. Going up 3-0 in every single series for the entire playoffs was crazy coming out of the 8th seed and left no doubt in any series. They dominated the playoffs. There were games where the forecheck was so strong the other team couldn't even get out of their own end to pull the goalie as the game wound down. Just incredible to watch.

Wild talking to Pens about Kessel?
From The Athletic (Josh Yohe)-
However, numerous sources confirmed that Kessel is unsure if he wants to play in Minnesota. He did research on Minnesota and the Wild during the past week, the sources said. Kessel is very close friends with Ryan Suter. Both are natives of Madison, Wisconsin, and played internationally together for Team USA.
It is believed Jason Zucker, the speedy Wild forward who scored 76 goals the past three seasons, would be part of the deal. Minnesota made it clear to other franchises that Zucker, 27, is available.
The Penguins and Wild also discussed a couple of players with long-term contracts in Jack Johnson and Victor Rask.

If the Pens aren't in the playoffs, the Pittsburgh media go off on trying to trade either 81 or Malkin.

@RussoHockey: Penguins, #mnwild in trade talks surrounding Phil Kessel.
@JoshYohe_PGH has confirmed what I reported Tuesday about potential Jason Zucker-Victor Rask for Kessel-Jack Johnson swap. Lots of details in this story + other possible landing spots for Zucker

beat Slovakia on a last second goal too during pool play. I didn't watch this but it sounds like the Suisse played them very hard, which is not surprising. last year's Canada team was better but so were the Suisse who had pretty much the same team plus Timo Meier.
pretty disappointing tournament for the US. not losing to Russia who is clearly the best team IMO and gave them a decent game. but laying an egg against Canada with the shot to win group A and then putting themselves in the position to lose to the best team in the quarters with the best team they've ever sent over. maybe one day they'll actually win this thing (in modern times).
