Vegas went deep. So even trash can squeek through.
We got Hyman. We good
What team was legitimately the best and lost the Cup because they weren't tough enough?
I missed that series for sure.

Dead Last in the league with 1 fighting major this season. ONE.
Franchise player Mathews gets pummeled to the boards by Kronwall tonight and the reaction was just a face wash. Nobody even challenges Kronwall or any other Red Wing the rest of the game.
Leafs no doubt are one of the most skilled teams in the league but we all know when it comes playoff time, players will be bullying and targeting their stars. Theyve moved on from Martin who has led the team in fighting by a country mile over the last few seasons.
So are they tough enough ? Who's gonna stand up to someome like Tom Wilson?
Leafs are also bottom 5 in Hits given and contending teams like Vegas Pitt and Tbay are top 5.

Its open season on these stars.
I agree. Theyre just getting started and the entire hockey world thinks they have to win the cup this year.As a Caps fan they remind me of the Caps 2010. Glass canon.
I still think they lack some pieces, they will probably have to learn the hard way just like the Caps did. They will be contenders for a long time, I dont think their time is now though.
That had nothing to do with toughness or fighting.Vancouver Boston 2011.
If the oilers are your measuring stick on whether or not you're trash you have issues.The Oilers had to go on a 9-2-2 run to go up a single point on that "trash".
We'll see where the two teams are at the end of the year.
That had nothing to do with toughness or fighting.
That had everything to do with one of the worst reffing performances in Stanley Cup history, everyone on Vancouver being injured and playing at like 25% effectiveness, and a no-name goalie possessed by Hasek for a year, all at once. And it still took 7 games.
I'll take my chances.

Nope, pretty much spot on. I know it must be hard to have the least deserving Stanley Cup win in decades, but it doesn't change reality. You should be happy you got one at all.What an inaccurate summary!
Come on man. That’s just embarrassing.Nope, pretty much spot on. I know it must be hard to have the least deserving Stanley Cup win in decades, but it doesn't change reality. You should be happy you got one at all.
A bunch of cowards being given free rein to take cheap shots isn't what makes a team "tough". It's not about who is bigger or taller or who acts the most obnoxious and macho or who can give the most sucker punches and run away. Team toughness is about a whole lot more than that, and if your team has any, you'd know that.
Usuallly the toughest teams are the ones who don't concern themselves with silly antics.
A cup win is a cup win, but when compared against other cup wins, it can be more or less deserving.Come on man. That’s just embarrassing.
A Cup win is a Cup win. It was deserving.
