We had a 12 neighbors over for a 'hood dinner and had the Canes/Rangers game on, muted. Looked pretty brutal. Canes almost made a game out of it in the waning seconds. It looked like P1/P2 had about six penalties? The shot count looked pretty low for most of the game.

Swayman doing Swayman things! Great game to open round 2 for the Bs, of course the real story is Carlo being in Boston with his wife giving birth at 3am, spending a few hours with her then on a plane to FL, arriving late, rushing to get ready then scoring a goal in the 2nd period, i believe it's only his 4th playoff goal ever and not a prolific scorer in general. Shout out to Pasta for having the presence of mind to skate over and grab the puck for him to keep! I've said it before and i'll say it again, the NHL is the best pro sports league and one of the if not the top sport to see live.

I sometimes wish it were still the original six. All places where ice happens naturally.

Florida? LA? SF? etc. Kinda like a camel riding league in Alaska.... :)
But at the same time the popularity of teams and their success in the larger state like FL and CA helps ensure the NHL will survive, for a long time there was actually talk about removing teams to keep the league solvent. To quote the title of the movie, Things Change.
