Although Point should have won Conn Smythe I thought it would be him or Hedman. Hedman led the whole team in ice time.
However do any of you guys realize that Kucherov had 27 assists and the only 2 NHL players to have more in a Stanley Cup playoffs were Gretzky and Lemieux??? Kooch can dish the rubber!

Not really surprised with this, especially with what the Blue Jays had to go through to play in MLB. Canada is sticking to their guns about people from the states crossing the northern border and that includes athletes. It might bite them in the ass or it might create an Olympic or World Juniors feel to it. Let’s hope for the later.
For those of you who thought you had seen the last of the Quebec Nordqiues- Quebec's one time "other hockey team" - and their distinctive fleurs-de-lis, guess again! They're back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that it's unfortunate that this beautiful NHL-calibre arena still isn't home to an NHL team. The problem is that the western conference is short of teams in its conference, which is a big reason why Seattle was granted a franchise over others. My guess is that it's just a matter of time until we see NHL hockey being played regularly in QC. If i'm a betting man i'd put money on an eastern franchise relocating to QC. I'm thinking of the Florida Panthers, which plays most of its games in an empty arena. And with no fans being allowed in arenas since the beginning of covid it won't be easy on financially-troubled franchises. And since Canada is short of NHL franchises (as compared to the US) it wouldn't surprise me to see a US-based franchise possibly playing their games out of Quebec in a 'Canadian division' in the not-to-distant future.And yet why is there no NHL team occupying this wonderful arena?
