Highlights include a good ol’ fashioned fistfight at the 7-min mark.

“That was my best friend Kyle.” “We had him in a little baggie.”

Over-Time winner sees Avs take a 3-1 series lead. Kadri scores the game-winner but everybody loses sight of the puck (everybody is looking on the ice and under the goalie, but puck is stuck in top of the net, in clear view!) and for several seconds nobody in the arena — not even the goal-scorer — realizes the game is over.

This overtime game-winner has a life of it’s own, from nobody in the arena except one player knowing the game was over, to a two-game swing, to too many Avs on the ice when they scored. People are wound up. Roll the Zapruder film…

He’s ready.

An interesting time for hockey in non-traditional markets.
The 4 remaining NHL teams are from non-traditional markets so one of them will win this year's Stanley Cup (Florida, Carolina, Vegas, Dallas). Despite knocking out my Bruins, hoping of those teams that Florida win it all, having been in the Stanley Cup Final way back in 1996 and in this playoffs knocking out Boston and Toronto as an underdog 8 seed.
However, speaking of non-traditional markets, Arizona Coyotes are in big trouble, their arena deal got voted against this week and so are stuck playing in a 5,000 seat college arena for at least the next season. They may be on the move to a new city soon.
