Of the teams still left in the playoffs, I am finding myself leading towards cheering for the Islanders. I still feel that the Toronto Maple Leafs made a massive blunder, when they decided to hire "Dumbass" as their GM, versus keeping Lou.
Had they kept Lou, I would bet that none of the "big four" would have gotten the money they did from Dumbass and the Leafs wouldn't be in the cap situation they now find themselves.

And quite probably they would still be playing....

Matthew Barzal was a standout for the Seattle Thunderbirds before the Islanders called him up. I am glad to see him doing well. For that reason, it would be cool if the Islanders win it all.
For me, it'll be one of those 'I remember when' moments with Barzal. Going to Thunderbird games in Kent, Washington with about 4,000 other fans. Not because of the pandemic, that's just a small arena.

If it's any help, I play a 1967 Gibson THUNDERBIRD.

Here's Barzal when Seattle signed him in 2013. Interestingly, they drafted another player that day in 2012 who's doing alright for himself in Las Vegas, Keegan Kolesar.

Well, the final four are teams I really don't care about at all, but as a hockey fan I'll still be watching. Guess I'll be rooting for the underdogs now... NYI and Montreal. For me, its anybody but Vegas. I like Fleury but there's something about the Golden Knights that just rubs me the wrong way.

And despite the Isles being a division foe, I really wouldn't mind seeing Trotz get a second Cup.

Hmm. We should prolly not get together for a beer-or 2. First choice, Lightning repeat; second choice, Knights.
