@StatsBySTATS: June 7: Toffoli scores 99 seconds into OT to eliminate Winnipeg
Tonight: Lehkonen scores 99 seconds into OT to eliminate Vegas
The @CanadiensMTL are the first team in NHL history to score 2 OT goals at the exact same time in a single postseason (let alone to clinch a series).

If true, at the very least, Wirtz should fire every single person that knew about this and did nothing. I would assume that Chicago PD will begin an investigation as well.
ETA
The Athletic has a story today that a player on that team says every player knew about the sexual assault. Even going as far as the coach got players drunk and tried to perform oral on them. Damn.

Can't win with Drouin

Still have 4 more wins to get, but they’re still in it, and still the champs, unless Montreal finally eliminates them. But I’m excited, I was dreading this game all day, but they won!

Yes Sir.
Please murder the Habs. Just let Caufield score a few.

no one thought they could do it. everyone wrote them off. what a Cinderella run for Tampa. the team that defied all odds and salary cap calculations. everyone is saying Montreal will be their toughest test yet. no one giving them a chance.
I still believe.

Only SHG the Isles let up all year is a tough way to lose. But in the end TB was the better team.
Isles missed their C in Anders Lee - few tweaks here & there and they’ll be back next year as they open Belmont Park.
Good luck to the Bolts the rest of the way.

I’ve crunched the numbers, I’ve analyzed the data and studied the facts and my conclusion is that the Tampa Bay Lightning are in fact good.
Can’t argue with facts. Of course, some people will say they got around the cap, which they tried to not do that, but with a guy making $9m a season needing surgery, they kinda had to. They put Tyler Johnson on waivers twice, no takers, so they had to make it all work within the rules, which they did, and now people are whining. Never mind that half the league did the same thing, never mind that (and this is important, so pay attention) what they did was all legal by the NHL’s own rules, suddenly they’re cheating. Well, they’re not, and good luck to everyone else, because once they change that rule, nobody will be able to save their star when they need surgery, and they miss the playoffs because of it.

No one is disputing that teams go over the cap because of LTIR. But half the league then brought those LTIR players back just in time for the playoffs?
I really don’t care ... as you say, it’s within the rules and I enjoy watching the Lightning play. I joked to Capella about the Bruins doing it with Rask next season, because I think that would be hysterical.
Fix the loophole going forward. But don’t get offended when other fans call them out on it.

I’m not offended at all. I am ordering a jersey with the name that says CAP COMPLIANT with the #21 on it.

Ironically Tyler was one of the best guys on the ice last night. He’s overpaid for sure but he’s a 2C for like half the league. Crazy nobody will take him. He is extremely overpaid though.

LTIR for active players is fine. especially when it helps a plucky little club that no one expected to win like Tampa.
LTIR to avoid cap recapture penalties is dumb and abused. however all the contracts signed before the instituted cap recapture should have been exempt anyway (not the GM’s fault for paying market and that was market at the time).
so I’m indifferent. except like when the Blackhawks do it with Hossas. that’s super lame and pathetic.

Interesting fact: the Blackhawks benefited from this same rule when they beat Tampa for the Cup. Also, one of the 2 teams to vote against this rule was none other than the Tampa Bay Lightning.
But, but, he could totally have played in a meaningless game near the end of the season! It’s as though rehab isn’t a thing!

It's a ways off, but the 2023 NHL Draft is going to be stacked at the top. If your team has a top 2 pick, consider yourself very very fortunate.
Connor Bedard and Matvei Michkov look like absolute studs. Both were absolute monsters in the U18 tournament a couple months back.
Michkov scored 12 goals and 16 points in 7 games as a 16 year old. Bedard 7 goals and 14 points in 7 games. And Bedard doesn't turn 16 until mid July.
Insanely good. Same tournament, McDavid as a 16 year old had 14 points in 7 games. Ovechkin had 14 goals and 18 points as a 16 year old in 8 games. NOT trying to compare either guy to those two, but trying to give context.
Bedard had 12 goals and 28 points in 15 games for Regina in the WHL as a 15 year this past year. Both his and Michkov's shots are sick. I think Michkov might get some time in the KHL next year.
Check these guys out on youtube if you haven't yet. Supremely talented players.

And Shane Wright in 2022 isn't too shabby either.JaxBill said:
Imagine Seattle going the total opposite of the Vegas route and sucking for the first couple of years and getting Wright+Bedard/Michkov? Would be sick.
