The matchups are going to be interesting in the MTL vs. VGK series. Vegas is going to want Stone & co. to face off against the Toffoli - Suzuki - Caufield line, while Montréal will probably want the Danault line to go up against Stone & Pacioretty. Both team’s 3rd lines are extremely similar, and the 4th lines very, very different.


Can you remind me: who are the 3rd and 4th lines?

I wouldn't really mind seeing any of these teams win, though

As much as I love Mark Stone..

Flower deserves a Vezina paired with a Conn Smythe if they win the cup. Without Fleury I doubt Vegas is this deep. I like Lehner (not saying he couldn’t help them win) and I love Stone but he’s the backbone in Vegas rn.


Thought about it, but I think Stone will get it because the awards typically hate goalies

If the isles win the cup I think Pelech would get the Conn Smythe


I don’t think Pelech is universally appreciated enough to get it. I agree he’s been good but I don’t think he’ll get the recognition

Conn Smythe After Round 2:

NYI: J.G. Pageau. Tough pick b/c Isles are very balanced. He leads in points and +/-. He's 2nd in FO% and 4th in TOI (:24 behind 1st). He's excellent defensively.

TBL: Nikita Kucherov. Vas is close 2nd, imo. But, Kuch is probably gonna crush the field in points if Tampa wins the Cup.

VGK: Marc-Andre Fleury. Even though a strong argument for Stone could be made, MAF is the face of the franchise and his numbers back that up.

MTL: Obvious. No explanation needed.

The trophy should be on who has the most giveaways or the baldest head.

I think this is the first year that the 2nd overall pick will be happier than the 1st when they get picked.

I know it's off topic but, what are your predictions for the Tik Tok vs YouTube boxing event?

I'll go first:

Ryan Johnston
Landon McBroom
Ryland Storms
Faze Jarvis
DDG
Deji
Gib (could go either way)
Bryce Hall (depends on who wants it more)

I might be dumb buying it, but I've got plenty of friends chipping in so it won't cost much per person.

If you mean the Football team than yes. I’m not a die-hard football fan, but I still enjoy watching them play.

Ohgrimace. I hate the Cowboys lol

Like I said I’m not a die-hard fan, honestly I only cheer for them because they’re in the same place as the Stars. I’m a die-hard Stars fan, a semi die-hard Maverick fan, and all of the other sports I really don’t care too much about. WNBA is the worst sport of all time don’t @ me.

My teams are the Devils, Giants, Nets, and Yankees. Die-hard Devils and Giants fan (like the Devils more though), semi die hard Nets fan, and Yankees fan but I don't really watch baseball.

The thing about the WNBA I hate about the most is that some people want "equal pay" SMH

Honestly woman's sports like men's sport leagues AHL vs NHL should all have 'Fair Pay'tears of joy it's so BS...I want to be paid 50m but I can't dunk and the league can't being in 50m dollars anyway. Honestly I bet Giannis's contract is worth more than the annual revenue of the WNBA.

Did research and Giannis AAV of 228/5 is just less than the WNBAs revenue of 60m...but Giannis also makes money unlike the WNBA The WNBA generates revenues of $60 million annually, but it also has costs in excess of $70 million annually. So, the WNBA does not make money. It has turned an average $10 million net loss (revenue – costs) per year, since its inception in 1996.
