Brilliant, and timely; when will we ever have another goalie for PM? @MarkJCarney, it’s your chance to do something remarkable.

Call it the Ken Dryden Program of Goaltending Excellence, headquartered in our former goalie factory, Quebec. Free equipment is just the beginning.

[Maria @TheHomelyBaby]

@chelsealeite The government of Canada needs to subsidize goalie equipment, this is how we find the next phenom.

[Paul Campbell @WayToGoPaul]

Sadly, the technology simply doesn’t exist to prevent this kind of injury. Hopefully some gifted engineer who loves hockey can figure out face protection in my lifetime.

[Hannah Kirkell @h_kirk6]

Brayden McNabb estimates he got upwards of 30 stitches.

“It’s part of hockey. It’s the way it goes sometimes, and it’s unfortunate, but you still have to get through it.”

If it happens within 10 minutes like this, they call it a supernatural hat trick.

[The Hockey News @TheHockeyNews]

Mitch Marner. Has a natural hat trick. In the Stanley Cup final.

@kevpope @JeffMarek In European/world sport, the existence of multiple top-tier pro leagues leads to competition for players, giving the athletes leverage.

In NA, there is one top league per sport, meaning there is no competition
for players.

Cinema my ass. That was an ice cream truck killing the whole family.

@torontobaghead Selke. Hart. Conn Smythe. Masterton. Then they name an award for him.

Then: “Playoff hero Marner Triple-Signs Canes Death Warrant”

Now: “Playoff Choker Marner Blows Penalty Shot, Loses Series for Vegas.”

Offside review remains the biggest self-inflicted wound the NHL has ever cursed itself with.

[Paul Campbell @WayToGoPaul]

Nick Suzuki is great, but Shane Hollander has done a lot more for hockey.

@NMich90 @WestHarlm @elonmusk @CommunityNotes You have to have trust eventually. How do you know water is H2O? I’ve never personally done the work to determine that.

In the dying seconds of regulation, Mitch Marner gets SHOT!

[NHL @NHL]

How about Mitch Marner with a HUGE block in the dying second of regulation?! 💪 #StanleyCup

The internet took good-natured ribbing and turned it into total war.

@StonksMark71075 Did you post on the wrong thread? If not, please explain why this post praising Gallagher’s career has offended you.

[Paul Campbell @WayToGoPaul]

Gallagher has been the soul and conscience of the Habs for a dozen years. He never learned to speak French, but he taught a generation of players how to bleed it. La sainte flanelle is better for his having worn it.

[/r/Habs @HabsOnReddit]

An emotional Brendan Gallagher confirms that he will be moving on from the Habs

[Paul Campbell @WayToGoPaul]

@travisyost I’m so glad that phrase entered the lexicon. It’s perfect.

[Chris Johnston @reporterchris]

Mitch Marner didn't want to elaborate on his comment about going through "dark times" earlier in his hockey career, but says he will if the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup.

[Paul Campbell @WayToGoPaul]

@Henkselipaita This was very strange to find out. I do not know why I imagined Norway was there.

[Paul Campbell @WayToGoPaul]

Norway should always have been a hockey power. Nintendo Ice Hockey was right to include them, and though it’s taken almost 40 years, they’ve finally proven it.
