I have seen 4 teams that look like they could be capable of winning the Stanley Cup: Florida, NY Rangers, Carolina and Dallas. These 4 teams have balance between offense and defense and are not plagued by shitty offense (Boston) or crappy goalies and defense (Colorado, Edmonton). I am still not convinced on Vancouver. They should be able to beat Edmonton, as their big, physical defenseman have stymied Edmonton's power duo of McDavid and Draisaitl.

I fully agree. Biggest contender for the are Panthers, Dallas, Rangers and Canes, in that order!
Blackhawks Sued For Sexual Harassment By Native American Consultant:
www.cbsnews.com
"I feel abused, traumatized, used," Sanders said.
In the lawsuit, Sanders said she was sexually harassed in 2022 by a man working with the organization. The lawsuit accuses him of "inappropriate sexual advances," touching her "without her consent", and also of sending her unwanted "sexually explicit videos of him" on Snapchat.
The lawsuit also said Sanders verbally reported two other incidents of women being groped at Blackhawks events by men working with the organization.
Sanders alleges she complained about all these incidents to her supervisor, the director of the team's charitable arm, the Chicago Blackhawks Foundation. But the lawsuit said nothing was done, and instead the team attempted to silence her by changing her role and moving her out of the United Center.
"I repeated it over and over, and that's really when I felt like I started to get pushed out," said Sanders. "That was the beginning of the retaliation and discrimination."
The organization provided the following statements to CBS Chicago:

I am guessing that Dallas will not get past Colorado, will leave my decision on Edmonton to see how Pickhard does, and still think Boston will take this series and the Rangers will take the east.

Rangers captain Jacob Trouba earned the NHL's Mark Messier Leadership Award, which is presented to a player for his leadership qualities on and off the ice.
But not much thanks to Georgiev who had his usual .885 save % and doesn't give great hopes that he will be able to come up big when needed.
Marchand: Injuring Opponent is Part of Playoff Hockey; Says Bennett "Got Away With One", But Praises Bennett:

Bruins' Brad Marchand: Injuring opponents 'part of playoffs'
Bruins captain Brad Marchand said Panthers center Sam Bennett "got away with one" when he struck Marchand's head in Game 3, but that opponents seeking to injure each other is just a part of playoff hockey.
What a game!!!! What a comeback!!! Rangers WIN!!!!!!'
All I can say was the key play in the game occurred when the Carolina thug Burns tried to goon Trochek, who gave it right back to Burns despite being 7 inches shorter. This set up a power play and one of Chris Kreider's 3 goals, all in the 3rd period for the pure 3rd period hat trick!!!! And what a time for Kreider's first postseason hat trick!

Just an amazing job by TNT capturing all of the stunned expressions on the faces of Canes fans who couldn't believe what just happened. They were stunned, because they witnessed a stunning 3rd period by the NY Rangers!!!!!'
Kreider really took matters into his own hands! Hats off to him, it wasn’t Andersen’s greatest performance, 2 goals should have never made it behind him.
That second goal I don't even know how it squeezed past Freddy, but it did. It seemed like he had the side of the net blocked, but Kreider got it by him.
This goal reminded me, for some reason, of a funny story:
www.nhl.com
It looked like there was absolutely no room for the goal to get by Anderson, and I still do not know how it did. The story this reminded me of was something that happened around 15 years ago. At that time, the office I worked at was around a 5 minute drive from my condo, so I occasionally went home for lunch. It was a warm summer day, and I went home and left my car in the driveway. The driver's side window, I left cracked open maybe 2 or 3 inches. I did not think much of it.
So I went inside and ate my lunch. I was inside maybe 45 minutes. I went back out to my car, and got in without even look in the backseat. Almost immediately, I felt something inside the car with me. It was liking being in a horror film, but in real life. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw that a feral cat had gotten into the car with me. It was perched in the middle of my backseat, looking at me. I immediately got out of the car, opened the rear door, and screamed at the cat, which jumped out of the car and ran away.
I could not understand how that cat got in my car. It had managed to somehow squeeze itself through a front driver's side window cracked open 2-3 inches, at most. It did not seem like it could have possibly fit. Not only that, I could not figure out how that cat could have even got itself in position to slither through the window crack, unless it had climbed on the roof and stuck its head inside the open window crack.
I never, ever left my car outside with windows open ever again. As for the feral cat, I continued to see it stalking around the condo property for a while. Neighbors were giving it food and it looked well fed. Eventually winter came and it must have moved on after that.

Chris Kreider scores goal against Frederik Andersen to make it 3 - 2
"It definitely hurt. You don't want to give them life. I thought I have it covered, and I wasn't able to get my glove down on it. Mistake. Tough timing on that," said Andersen (19 saves), who was outdueled by Igor Shesterkin (33 saves).
