That was some serious shut-down defense they played in the 3rd. With 4 mins to go, Tampa only had 2 SOG - a dump in from center, and a Kuch one-timer that Kuemper had read perfectly. I think that's what I was most impressed with. Despite being the highest goals/game since the 80s Oilers, they held TB to 1 goal.
I'll say this, I agree with you Gary. Happy for many of them. Kadri... less so (but not nearly the kind of disdain you have for him). MacKinnon, I think he's a douche, and I'm basing it on one comment from one interview. Before the Oiler series, in a sit-down with SportsNet and asked about going up against McDavid, his answer had to do with the fact it will be great hockey, hopefully generate a lot of interest and revenue so it could drive the escrow down. He literally fucking said that in a recorded, pre-taped interview. smdh.
