@Freudy@Freudy marner! Because of how he has come to Vegas and fit into the culture and has played on the defensive side of the puck, he makes it so hard for forwards to play the game and get open ice and then he makes incredible plays with the puck on his stick, so fun to watch.
Agreed
It’s the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The most exciting Playoffs out there. A two month roller coaster filled with sudden deaths, good old fashioned chaos, and the beauty we call McJesus. There’s action on the ice and in the studio. Every series is a statement. And everyone gets their shot at the Cup.
How opposing GMs gifted Vegas the winningest team in hockey at the expansion draft:
Bad Trades
• Anaheim traded Vegas Shea Theodore so they take on Clayton Stoner's $3.25m x 1y contract.
• Minnesota traded Vegas Alex Tuch so they would pick up Erik Haula instead of Matt Dumba or Eric Staal.
• Pittsburgh traded Vegas a 2nd round pick (Drew Commesso) so they would take on Marc-Andre Fleury's $5.75m x 3y contract.
• NY Islanders traded Vegas the 15th overall pick (Erik Brannstrom) and a 2nd round pick (Egor Sokolov) so they would take on Mikhail Grabovski's $5m x 1y contract.
• Tampa Bay traded Vegas Nikita Gusev, a 2nd round pick (Alex Texier) and a 4th round pick (Paul Cotter) so would take on Jason Garrison's $4.6m x 1y contract
• Winnipeg traded the 13th overall pick (Nick Suzuki) for the 24th overall pick so Vegas wouldn't select Tobias Enstrom.
Bad Protections
• Boston protected Kevan Miller over Colin Miller.
• Los Angeles protected Derek Forbort over Brayden McNabb.
• St. Louis protected Sobotka, Berglund, Reaves over David Perron and Jordan Binnington.
Bad Everything
• Florida traded them Reilly Smith for a 4th round pick, left Jonathan Marchessault exposed, while protecting Alex Petrovic & Mark Pysyk.
• Columbus traded them a 1st & 2nd round pick so they would take on David Clarkson's $5.25m x 3y contract. Then they exposed 43-goal scorer William Karlsson.
In total, they finessed:
• Shea Theodore
• Jonathan Marchessault
• William Karlsson
• Reilly Smith
• David Perron
• Brayden McNabb
• Marc-Andre Fleury
—
• Alex Tuch (huge part of Jack Eichel package)
• Nick Suzuki (huge part of Max Pacioretty package)
• Drew Commesso (huge part of Robin Lehner package)
• Colin Miller (huge part of Alec Martinez package)
—
• Erik Brannstrom & Egor Sokolov (became Mark Stone)
• Erik Haula (became Nicolas Roy -> Mitch Marner)
• Alex Texier (became Keegan Kolesar)
• Nikita Gusev (became Daniil Chayka, Lukas Cormier, and Jakub Demek)
• Paul Cotter (became Alex Holtz, Akira Schmid, and Mason Moe)
The league's got no one to blame but themselves.
Vegas is for real Unless Edmonton was truly horse shit which would mean Anaheim isnt even that good and if that’s the case they still haven’t beat a real team but I don’t believe that anymore Hart has found his game. Eichel is a superstar. Marner could win MVP this is nuts. Wagon
🧵 Denzel Boston is flying a bit under the radar… but he shouldn’t be.
The Washington WR is one of the most scheme-defining prospects in the 2026 NFL Draft — and the perfect prototype for teams searching for a true X receiver.
Here’s why ⬇️
Not only did Jack Hughes score the game Winner vs Canada but he is also piping Tate Mcrae this guy is doubling down he just loves to fuck canada
