We are down to the Final Four:

Tamps Bay Lightening vs. New York Islanders

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Montreal Canadians

The Vegas golden knights really don’t want to shed that choker label it seems. Hopefully they can force a game 7.

Montreal is going to the Stanley cup final after one hell of a choke job by Vegas.

The Habs are onto the Stanley Cup final.

Having beaten the Golden Knights in OT yet again.

We will know tomorrow (Fri June 25th) whom they will face, as the Islanders and Lightning play a game 7 – winner moves on.

I honestly don’t know where the golden knights go from here. I don’t know a hell of a lot about them but whatever they’re doing isn’t working. It honestly feels like if they don’t win a cup in the next year or two, their rebuild stage is going to be brutal.

The Golden Knights are a great example of TEAM effort.

Other than their goaltender Fleury, can you name another super-STAR player?

A player who can be like a Crosby, McDavid, Matthews, and is a game changer.

IMO, they are missing that “X” factor.

What kind of a story can the NHL get by having the NY Islanders make it to the Stanley Cup Finals, and saying good bye to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

This will allow them to move into their new arena near Belmont Park for 2021 season.

It will be the Tampa Bay Lightning verses the Montreal Canadiens.

The schedule was already released, as in either case, the Habs is the lower seeded team, and would be the visitors for the first two game.

And now I can relax now that the islanders have lost

Two teams that would normally be playing in the same division, meeting for the Stanley Cup Final.

Beginning with Game 1 in Tampa Bay, the Lightning are back for the second year in a row and eyeing a defence of their title won in an Edmonton bubble last September. Now they have a chance to win in front of their home fans, with 14,800 allowed in Amalie Arena last round.

The series will shift in Game 3 to la belle province, the first time in 28 years the all-time winningest NHL franchise will host a Stanley Cup Final game. It’s the longest the Montreal Canadiens have been between finals appearances in their history and their fans are starting to get 1993 vibes through this underdog run.

But what got me is….

Canada has its first Stanley Cup finalist in a decade as the Montreal Canadiens claimed the Clarence Campbell Bowl for the first time in team history.

Of course, the current “conference” designations were only created in 1974 re-alignment.

For a team founded in 1909, winning 24/27 Stanley Cups (as several were pre-NHL), this season is definitely for the history books.

Will the slump of Canadian based Stanley Cup Championships come to an end, or will we get a repeat Champ?

Now to see if the Defending Champs vs the most storied Franchise can live up to the hype.
