Actually the worst call I've ever seen was in a Detroit/LA 2014 game. On a Detroit shot the puck got deflected, sailed up and hit the netting, fell down and bounced off Quick's (LA goalie) back into the net and stood as a goal. It cost the Kings the game, but they went on to win the Cup.
That's also when I lost any respect I ever had for Babcock. He saw it, and if he had an ounce of character he would have said something. Instead he just stood there.

No team can have the home advantage more than the GK.
The Capitols want it and they have a few world class players.
If the GK hit less posts , could have been different .
I will say it again,there’s a lot of hockey left,teams don’t get this far and then fold their tents.

Anyone besides Sharks fans remember when, in the 2014 playoffs, the LA Kings came back from being down three games to none, winning four in a row?
I wouldn't write off Vegas yet.

Great game. Caps get their first cup in what, 40 years?
Knights are the best first year team ever and get to the finals.
It's a win-win if there ever was one.

Alex Ovechkin deserved this Stanley Cup. 13 years of loyalty to the Caps and his sheer joy upon winning and hoisting the cup above his head was infectious. Won the Conn Smythe as well. One of the NHL's all time greats. That cup is going to have some serious fun in the off season. Kris -- 43 years since the team was founded and this is their first NHL championship. Love Ovi so much. Guy has so much heart and desire for the sport.

Good clean game and well reffed.
But what was up with that goofy cartoonish intro? That was embarrassing even by Vegas’ standards! I almost expected Roseanne to come out to sink the national anthem!
(nice Freudian slip, eh?)

Had to look Dauphin up, despite it being Manitoba’s 8th ‘largest’ town, at 8500! LOL
Proud little place:
Lt.-Col. William George Barker, VC, Canada's most decorated serviceman, was born in Dauphin in 1894. The Dauphin airport and a school are named after him.
26% speak Ukrainian. Pretty funny for a place named for the bro of Louis XV. 😉

So curious minds wish to know:
1. Will the Washington Capitals - being pretty much the only 'winners' in that town at the moment - be invited to the president's palace, aka white house?
2. Being that probably half of them are Canadian, will they be searched for flammables before being allowed in?
3. Will the emperor require that they kneel before him, or allow them to stand?
4. Again, as more than half aren't citizens, why would they care if someone else's national anthem is played?

Because the Finnish national anthem is boring?

But, there are a few Russians

^^^RIP Stosh^^^ Legend...
Was lucky to see him play in the late 1970’s.
Ranger fans respected him immensely.
Even though he was a Hawk.
Edit: Was one of the first NHLer’s to wear a helmet,
after almost getting his ear ripped off by a puck in 1967.
True hard man Slovak.
Also he was a scratch golfer who became a club pro after
his NHL retirement.
