why did i get the funniest mental image when steve said "picture barkov, picture the cup, and picture one above the other" of the stanley cup lifting barkov

[@TheRealJBoss]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that twisted that hahahahaha 😂

[@TheRiverweasel09]

It is a little thing, but something about Barky just leaving Bettman in the dust to celebrate the right way makes me smile. Every little slight against Gary, including the crowd booing him during his announcement, is wonderful to watch.

[@chrisg1556]

The best is still Rod Brind'Amour. He didn't even let Gary take the picture. He just took the cup and lifted it. Gary was not happy lol.

[@casewojo6186]

Last night was my pinnacle in sports happy moments. The last 10 minutes of chaos, I was 100% sure Edmonton was going to tie it and win in OT. I was shocked and pleased to see the clock hit zero. Seeing the Cats bench rush to the ice made me jump up and down like a little kid. Edmonton is such a good team and I felt so bad for McDavid. As a fan I’m so glad it ended this way and not in complete disappointment. GO PANTHERS! CUP CHAMPIONS!

[@jonasgorea3823]

I dont understand how people are getting on mcdavid for not wanting to accept the conn smythe. That throphy without the cup is a paperweight, and I think he being the captain and leader of the oilers wanted to be there with his team, not accept a meaningless award. As a TB fan Props to Florida for closing it out, their forecheck and defense was stunning as expected. Florida has now become the new capital of hockey over the last 6-7 years. Props to Barkov, Forsling and Tkachuk especially.

[@hardrada3534]

He's Mcdavid, people love to hate success. Anyways CATS ARE CHAMPS HELL YEAH

[@chrisg1556]

I agree. People love to complain about everything. Personally, I have zero issue with him not coming back out. He and his teammates just had their souls crushed and hearts broken.

[@kurtisschwartz9870]

Not only that but it was the Panthers moment and Mcdavid understands that.

[@WaterWalker16]

I couldn't even imagine Mcdavid going back on the ice alone, accepting the Conn Smyth then back into the dressing room saying "Hey guys, look what I won." I don't think the Edmonton dressing room had the atmosphere.

[@user-fj9uu2jl1n]

That was a good FU to Bettman by McDavid felt bad for his dad waiting to record him.

[@turkeykaiser]

It's weird to ride Mitch Marner for not showing up to a press thing when he doesn't feel happy and then let McDavid off the hook for missing a photo op because he'd be the saddest boy.

[@trentsteel6286]

Why would you want more sad memes you pervert.

[@ralphlogan5211]

Steve is bang on about it being a tough road for the oilers to get back to the finals. A LOT of things went perfectly right for them to be there this year. The stars completely aligned. All it took was 3 guys shattering individual nhl records, the team shattering the PK record, and depth scoring that cannot be reasonably relied upon. If you think Drai scoring a few more goals in the finals is enough to replace everything else that went right so they can repeat this finals appearance, you’re in for a rude awakening.

[@canadiancruelty]

I love the shot at Arizona. I used to work for them back before Covid, and I remember it was either one of the first times he came to AZ or something, but we put his jersey in the team shops for the game. I remember just standing there absolutely stunned that they would do something like that.

[@MMWoodworking]

Thanks for mentioning the Blue Jackets! Congrats to Bob and Kevin! Fire the Cannon!

[@Julio-v1c]

This is why the media should not get to vote on Conn Smythe...it is all about statistics and not about understanding of the game...Not only did McDavid not score a point in last two games, he did jack squat in the first three...that is five of seven games..but yeah let's rave aboutthose two 4-point games in a row... Barkov and the Panthers shut him down..Barkov was his team's best player in EVERY series and shut McDavid down five of seven games head to head..McDavid was not his teams best player in every series, and am I remembering correctly he didn't do much in games 6 or 7 vs Canucks either?

[@countzrathknock6737]

As a Ducks fan, Corey Perry is my favorite active player. I keep rooting for him to win the finals but making it there 4 times in 5 years with 4 different teams shows me just how amazing a player he is... now if only Toronto had returned his call before Perry signed in Montréal.

[@Bonjurro]

It was also weird that McDavids parent’s actually thought he was coming back out for the trophy

[@DistantStorm]

As a former Buffalonian who did not move to Florida but know a ton of people who have, I find it incredibly hilarious how strong the Buffalo to Florida pipeline is in hockey. Good on those guys for escaping that dumpster fire and winning the cup. Side note: I really like Steve’s Pallet Town shirt, been on a pokémon kick lately myself.

Boys - the reason Morello would move the Roadrunners to Reno is the same reason he bought the Yotes - he would also acquires the rights to build a multiplex complex around - not a hockey team - a Casino. Reno is the third largest city in Nevada In reality, the hockey teams are just a way to get into a very exclusive club and then use your membership to go find all the money you can in the seat cushions at the club, or from the other owners who actually have money, while also being guaranteed a 1/34 share of any future expansion fees, plus use your new “sports team” owner notoriety to get the deals you want done and begin to work both the hockey fans and everybody else. By making it a destination sports town - where you can gamble all day and all night at his casino, and then once or twice a week to a game at night the other nights keep you at the casino or maybe at the Stripe shows, but he would own a piece of that too as a casino owner. So Morella would get paid every night instead of only getting paid two or three nights per week for hockey and for a much lesser revenue per head from a hockey game. So if he buys the team and moves it, he gets paid for both the casino, the hockey, plus the condos, the restaurants, and all the other businesses he might decide to open and share in revenues. It’s all about the casino and gambling.

[@brandondoyle9628]

32:55 no it is his obligation to go on the ice and take a miserable picture. It’s called sportsmanship You lost the championship that sucks. There’s six other people that have won it on a losing team. I don’t think any of those people are considered to be as good as he is right now he’s an all-time great. What does that demonstrate to the young impressionable fans watching at home? chances are you’ll be in the dance again and most likely win it next time with the experiences that you learned this off-season but again that said it’s called sportsmanship people consider Wayne Gretzky the greatest of all time and not even he won the playoff MVP on a losing team

Moving the Roadrunners to Reno is completely crazy. It’s in the same state but the distance between Henderson and Reno is further than San Jose and LA so I don’t think they’ll be diminishing each other’s viewership (at least in person) that much
