Was there ever an explanation for why Bouchard's high-sticking penalty wasn't a double minor? I thought it was pretty black and white. Either the player bleeds or they don't. Do the refs actually have discretion on that?

The NHL would never fine him but they should. It's a bad look for the league.
His own dad had the camera ready to go lol

Sir, this is a Wendys.

They actually gave McDavid the ConnSmythe?? I was watching at a golf tournament with no sound so I wondered why they showed his parents filming. So now his dad just has a video of him getting awarded the Conn Smythe and not skating out? WTF hahah

The penalty on Tkachuk was ridiculous

To be fair, it's only second nature to sling trash at a dumpster.

Good effort by your guys. They got all the help they could handle and more!

I think he already had the cut on the nose. Not from the high stick.

Not really. No other sport is stupid enough to give MVP of the finals to a player on the losing team.

As a father, I felt really bad for McDavid Sr.

Also, somehow he looks younger than his son.

Gazdic says McBaby grew up so much. He is almost 30 years old ffs! He gave a big fu to the fans that spent so much to go to Florida. That's poor sportsmanship. Zero respect.

I remember reading that they destroy it all (of course the odd piece gets out). I also remember reading some guys on here that had some '04 Flames stuff and saw some pics of hats.

Those ####ing clowns will never get this close again. From round 1 the stink was on. I have never seen a team have every break go their way like those clowns.

And the Oilers stayed relatively healthy the entire season and playoffs, in comparison to a lot of other teams.
