Around the League: Capitals and Ovie are Stanley Cup Champions

personally I don't really care whether it is VGK or Caps that win the cup (would like Ovi to get one though).

I don't want Stamkos to ever win a cup especially with all the BS he pulled in his UFA season with liking tweets and other crap.

FU Stamkos you f***ing SUCK

don't blame Vegas for taking advantage of Dale Tallon like that

I used the word league.

7x7 for Kane. I had a discussion with someone who thought Matt Cane was crazy for predicting a contract rather similar to that. Can't say I disagreed with him though on craziness, I'd just pin it more on the GMs than Cane for predicting it.

Ovie deserves it....

After all these years of terrific playoff performances where he is let down by his teammates, only to be called a huge choker himself? Yes. So much this.

We now go live to James van Reimsdyk for comment:

So people can't have a life and have fun a bit on social media? If you don't like that then stay off the internet

The cap could be going up to as much as $80M, so I have a feeling people are going to be shitting their pants at pretty much every FA signing.

$6-8M for a 30 goal winger on the open market isn't really that outrageous anymore. I generally wouldn't want to do it for a Kane/JVR type myself but it all depends on the team's cap structure, etc. Sometimes you can afford to overpay a player by a little bit if they fill a need.

I'm just a little surprised they didn't wait to take a run at Tavares.

I agree with everything except Ovechkin! F him too! LOL

Never liked OV, but have to respect him as a player and what he's done in these playoffs

Toby Enstrom's time with the Winnipeg Jets is likely over, and his apparent exit is not without some controversy.

Enstrom was a surprise scratch in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Vegas that sent the Jets packing and the Golden Knights on to the Stanley Cup final. It's a move that isn't sitting well with the veteran blue-liner.

According to sources, Enstrom was not happy about coach Paul Maurice's decision to exclude him because he'd played through the Western Conference finals with a serious rib injury. One person, who requested anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak on the topic, said Enstrom had suffered "broken ribs," but didn't say when the injury occurred or how many games he played afterward.

Unlike the majority of his teammates, Enstrom didn't meet with the media Tuesday after players cleaned out their lockers and held final meetings with coaches and management. Reporters who made requests to speak with him were told he was "long gone."

 

[ShaneFalco]

So maybe he's not at his best playing injured and there were better options?

There is speculation they saw what happened on the Island yesterday and came to the conclusion that "Yeah, JT coming here isn't happening" and proceeded from there. The best thing about Kane staying in SJ is that we now get their lotto protected 2019 #1 #Buffaluck

Oh-my-vechkin, what a shot.

He definitely wants this.

Tom Wilson losing his mind tonight. Throwing haymakers

Romanuck mentions "shutout" with 43 minutes left in the game

Best fight in probably 3 years.

Coburn was staying well away. If Wilson connected.....lights out

 

[Nineteen67]

If they keep this up they’ll all sleep good tonight.

They guy that threw the sweater is a deadman walking.

Agreed. Like him or not, Tom Wilson adds and exciting level to the game that has been sorely lacking since the 2000's.

 

[garce]

Big asset to have a nut like Wilson who can play a regular shift and intimidate. Cobourn did much better than I thought he would.

 

[Nineteen67]

Wilson has become one of my favourite players. Plays the game right

I wouldn't say he plays it right. He has a history of some really bad hits and he hasn't learned from them.

This is the NHL, I don’t mind a few casualties.
