No wonder Tkachuk didn’t play in game 5, shouldn’t have even played in game 4 probably

I’m not sure how Ekblad played, like you have a broken foot, you dislocated your shoulder twice and an oblique tear, you should not be playing hockey with all of that


Florida was dealt a tough hand at the end, they lost there best players and have mediocre depth.

Anybody know why they didn't wear jersey ads during the two games in Florida but brought them back for game 5? The cup final logo on the left side is just wrong

“Brandon Montour suffered and played through a torn labrum in his shoulder”

Absolutely insane the injuries these guys go through for these playoffs and they don’t miss a game.

People can roll their eyes if they want but TOR-EDM would attract the most viewers out of any possible finals.

But that's probably not happening frown

Yea but tbf what do you really want him to do. Even diehard hockey fans don't really care about Florida and even Vegas tbh.

I don’t think the lowest watched cup finals since 07 is simply due to “undesirable matchup”, this series was great, Vegas was entertaining, I think part of the reason was the broadcasting changes

The broadcasting probably has an impact maybe, but it's definitely more because nobody cares about either team outside of the fans of said teams.

The series was also not good lmao. It was 5 games, Vegas clearly outmatched an injured Panthers team and the final game was 9-3. It was pretty 1-sided.

Games not starting until 9 my time absolutely killed it for me. I didn't watch a single game.

nationality points to participation ratio ( the higher the number the higher the scoring rate of the nation)

0.12 Slovakia
1.13 Norway
0.43 France
0.43 Latvia
1.57 Slovenia

Danish participation (and French + Latvian) seem to consist more of bottom six / 3rd pairing guys.
Lots of star players from Canada.
Slovenia, Finland and Germany (Draisaitl lol) more well-represented in star power as well.

Of course this doesn't account for teams heavy in a particular nationality that got many eliminations in the earlier rounds.
It doesn't account well for if some nationality has a lot more weighting towards goalies or D vs. forwards, or vice versa.
