The Oilers played against 2 goalies who spent the majority of their time in the AHL in rounds 1 and 2. And Cam Talbot. And then faced a Stars team who just ousted the TWO prior Cup winners. Dallas was worn. Now they’re facing a real team and can’t score.

Marcel Dionne. 731 goals. 1,771 points. Ended his career second only to Gordie Howe in career points. Currently sits sixth - ahead of players like Joe Sakic, Steve Yzerman, Phil Esposito, etc. A Superstar who never seems to get his proper due.

And they got a 2nd?. I’ll never doubt Jet fans again. Many good Manitobans on the Twitter/X mentioned he disappeared for 15 game stretches. Dubois is rubbish. Reminds me of a 1993/94 Jimmy Carson. Completely disinterested in competing. #GoKingsGo

This guy will NEVER lead you to a Cup. He’s 29 this year. Not young,. He’s petulant. He takes no accountability. Oiler fans who want him around still are befuddled. I would jettison this dude immediately. Draisatl must be dealt.

Anze Kopitar had won the Stanley Cup for a first time at 24. A second time at 26. And popped home 46 points in the 46 games needed to win the Cup twice - while being a complete 200 ft player. Three Game-7 road victories in 2014, to boot!. Connor = 0 Cup :(.

Jonathan Quick was so epically good for so long. Including playoffs he has well over 800 games as a Los Angeles King . Won 15 of the first 17 games for Los Angeles in 2012. Secured the first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history in game 20.

This is still crazy after all these years. Did Ulfie deserve it?.

Anze Kopitar begins his NHL career in 2006. Scores two goals in his debut against eventual 2007 Cup winner Anaheim. What he didn’t tell us, is he’d be playing elite hockey for the same club for two decades. What a gem.

I don’t want to get political. But Gavin Newsom has to go. If Californians recalled Gray Davis in 2003, it can be done again in 2025 with Newsom. Negligent, incompetent, and a bit of a (w)anker. He must go.

Jarome Iginla played his last 19 games in the NHL as a Los Angeles King. Despite his career winding to its end, Iginla still played *his* game. In a game in Calgary he dropped the mitts with Flame Deryk Engelland. Popped in a goal in a 4-1 win. And…. Had to change his jersey

Gretzky tells a story from the 1979/80 season. He was struggling to produce in a game against Boston. Skated to the bench shaking his head and asked for Glen Sather’s input. Sather pointed at Ray Bourque and said:. “Stay away from that guy.”

Mario Lemieux had 690 goals in only 915 games. Mike Bossy had 573 in 752 games. Different style of snipers but in a class of their own - in my opinion.
