How the Stanley Cup Final teams were built.
Only two players selected by either team in the first round. Only one top-5 pick (Svechnikov at No. 2... and oddly enough, Carolina only had the 11th-worst record that year. Big lottery luck).
Today #NDU marks Memorial Day by honoring the heroes who gave everything in service to our nation.
🇺🇸 Today we reflect on the legacy of the fallen, sworn to protect our Nation. Their sacrifice remains our solemn motivation.

Connor Clifton, on the Penguins facing the Flyers in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs:
"Obviously, Battle of PA, little history there... I'm sure Sid is licking his chops."
@TheRealJLofgren It's not Martone, but good guess. I limited this list to players with at least 10 games played. Lifting that limit has Martone sliding in just above Tippett.
