"I can't believe you guys just did that to me on TV" 😭
Brandon Bussi got emotional after being surprised with footage of his parents watching him play 🥹 (@sportsnet)
Jordan Staal (37) was the oldest player to ever score in each of the first 3 games of a Stanley Cup final.
You can make it 4.
One of his best ever seasons at age 37. Aging like wine.
@AGoldFan I think they do play different. Told you this earlier this year. They play better in front of Bussi… hear me out, one thing I think is a factor on why they play better defense in front of Bussi is because they know he’s not the stick handler that Freddie is.
@NickStevensHS Freddie did not get us here. Bussi got us here. Freddie was in net during a 12-1 run in the playoffs. Bussi was the best goalie in the league before the Olympic break. He didn’t look great after but he looked better than Andersen does at this moment.
@lifeofcmil@TheWarningTake I don’t think so Bussi has been incredible all year. Freddie looks like he lost a step. If we don’t play perfect defense Freddie is too leaky.
This game has included:
* Two VGK goals taken off the board by coach's challenges
* Mitch Marner natural hat trick, fastest in SCF history
* Stopped Marner penalty shot that would have made it 5-0 in 3rd period
* Three Carolina goals in 39 seconds, fastest in SCF history
I don’t think it’s Freddie’s fault, but the only way Carolina can change the momentum in this series is by going to Bussi.
I don’t see any other option.
