Y'all have got to be kidding me. Sid won the Conn Smythe? For no goals in the finals, 4 assists and only one goal in his last ten games

 

[muscaremy]

Yup don't understand sid winning the Smythe either

 

[kane9321]

my sharks were outclassed the entire series..I'm proud of my boys...we got a taste
of what its like...LETS WIN IT

CROSBY FOR CONN SMTHE...SCREW U

 

[Duke]

Yuck

Yuck indeed.

 

[Hush]

Crosby as Conn Smythe is a head scratcher but the Pens winning not so much.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Phil Kessel is going to fill the Stanley Cup with hot dogs.

Haven't really paid much attention to the Finals. Him winning it without scoring a goal is very odd. I would have gave it to Malkin or maybe even Sheary who scored the OT goal. Plenty of other people deserving.

It's funny and also infuriating to Oilers fans that Justin Schultz was traded to Pittsburgh and in his first year as a penguin, he wins a Stanley Cup.

**** Edmonton, they're like the AHL for the rest of the league. Schultz was supposed to be the future of Edmonton's defense, they trade him for nothing, and he goes on get a Cup ring. I can't wait for Taylor Hall to win a Stanley Cup with his next team. Hell, if we time it right, the Canucks can sign McDavid as a UFA when he gets fed up with playing there.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

I see McDavid going to the Rangers up or Leafs. Canucks are pretty irrelevant.

Crosby totally deserved the Conn Smythe, he was the Penguins best player throughout the playoffs. Usually played against the oppositions top line and made the key plays when it mattered (like game winners vs. the Lightning). Easily the best Penguin on the ice last night as well.

Hey! I'm an Oilers fan. Schultz was lazy and under-performing with Edmonton. He had to be traded.

We'll never give up McDavid. And he probably hates the Canucks as much as the rest of Canada.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

McDavid is the best pure talent since Mario!

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

"Lazy and underperforming" seems to pretty much describe the Oilers M.O. for the last decade. That's a cultural and management thing there. So many of their guys seem to do well when they leave there, and guys that were successful who go there like Benoit Poulliot and Cam Talbot just seem to fade away into the either of mediocrity.

 

[Donner]

Luckily management has changed. I'm hoping for some big trades in the off season.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Seriously, I used to kind of like the Oilers. But so much great young talent is being wasted on that do-nothing franchise. The only consolation is that Bettman probably crapped in his pants when Edmonton got the McDavid pick.

McDavid being in Edmonton is a bummer for the league. Happy for Canadians that he is playing in Edmonton, but it would be better for the league if he were in the US, or an iconic big market franchise like Toronto or Montreal. I have zero faith in the Oilers organization to build a winner. I'd love to see McDavid in a Rangers jersey.

 

[Donner]

The Oilers organization made big changes once they won McDavid. Katz wasn't going to **** up another first overall. I have faith in them now. But only now.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

Wish them well, jealous they got McDavid. Hope the kid stays healthy, he could be historically special with the right pieces around him.

That seems rather cruel and unusual.

and then there's this:

NHL chooses Las Vegas for league's next expansion team

http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/16203078/nhl-settles-las-vegas-quebec-city-expansion

The NHL has settled on Las Vegas as its choice for expansion, provided organizers can come up with a $500 million fee, sources told ESPN's Scott Burnside.

The league's board of governors is scheduled to hold a formal vote during its meeting on June 22. Two-thirds of the board must approve the recommendation.

Quebec City was also considered for expansion, but a person who had been briefed on the decision told The Associated Press, which previously reported the decision, that Las Vegas was a "done deal" after the recommendation of the NHL's executive committee.

The 2017-18 season is the earliest the league would expand.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

Would make up for how the league arbitrator foolishly decided to send Lindros to the Flyers over the Rangers....What could have been. No wheat salesman as a GM in New York.

So, what are we looking at for names? The Las Vegas Outlaws? The Las Vegas High Rollers? The Las Vegas Neon Twitter Ninjas?
