Eric Staal post-game, when told there is photographic evidence of him wearing a pride jersey in Montreal:
“I haven’t before. I never have. … I haven’t worn a pride jersey before.”
(Staal wore No. 21 with the Canadiens during the 2020-21 season.)

Mind-boggling stat from the NHL: The Panthers were in a playoff spot for only 28% of the regular season (54 of 190 days). They are the only team in the NHL’s expansion era (since 1967-68) to reach the Final after spending less than 30% of the season in a playoff spot.

I asked Filip Forsberg if he’s ready to play tomorrow if the decision were solely up to him.

Me: “I think I saw you score a goal between your legs.”
Forsberg (smiling): “That’s what I do. ... It feels good.”

The Predators should double Rocco Grimaldi's salary this summer, and even then, it would only be $1.3 million. Maybe they should triple it.

Maybe I'm a cynic, but I'm in full believe-it-when-I-see-it mode with the Predators. They deserve credit for not folding after the early deficit, but they're way too up-and-down to expect them to get into a groove before the playoffs start.
