    Kuznetsov is the best quote in hockey and I don't think it is close. Pierre: "How much relief is it you don't have to go home [for Game 7]" Kuz: "My wife is on vacation it doesn't matter if I am there"

    If you are building your team to neutralize Tom Wilson and not Alex Ovechkin then I'd say you're doing it wrong.

    When you think about it, Ovechkin + Caps is everything you want in your fav sports team. Top pick exceeds expectations as a generational talent. Wins every meaningful indiv award. Wins a Cup with a spectacular celebration. Signs extension to remain for his entire career.

    The silence on the McLaurin guaranteed money is telling me everything I need to know. The way I see it: If it was same or greater than Metcalf it would have been released by agent at jump. Org isn't releasing it because they "won" and don't feel the need to gloat.
