And yet underperforming Fleury got the Vezina Trophy. There was never a debate in Tampa about who the #1 goalie is like there was in Vegas. Vezina voting is 100% irrational.

Not to mention that Vasilevskiy played like a different animal in the postseason than he was in the regular season. He and the team were embarrassing in the first-round series that season they tied the record for 62 W in the season, then two seasons later the Lightning came like they were unbeatable and unstoppable. What a wild team!

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

@Karl M I knew that already. ESPN hasn't been same though since losing NHL NASCAR IndyCar Champions League and World Cup rights away to other networks. They where literally the only sports provider until there own ratings started dipping. Plus they have NBA which can cause scheduling conflicts.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

@Karl M Honestly yeah I think NBA could probably have three networks covering there sport. So having both NBC and CBS added with TNT would be cool and make sense.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

@Karl M what I've also noticed is that some of the people on TNT are former people when the NBA was on NBC and I think I remember seeing that they did it with both TNT and NBC. Also sometimes NBA doesn't always have a Friday game on a television Network and most weekends so a third network like CBS would be pretty useful to get as much basketball on tv.
