Sean Burke is the director of goaltending for the Vegas Golden Knights.

As Washington GM, McPhee saw countless playoff collapses in Ovie’s first 10 years.  Then ironically lost as 1st season Vegas GM to Washington.  (Suppose it’s nice he finally won one but a half-generation in D.C. might have avoided PTSD had he succeeded earlier.  Bloody timing…)

Vegas started celebrating with 20 seconds left. That's too much! Never happened before. Why didn't the Florida players attack and try to get more goals? It would have worked. That's what I would have done.

So what happens with Eric Staal now?

Phil Kessel played 4 games in the first round of the playoffs!!! He got his 100th career playoff game, and got sat out by management.

I remember Mario Lemieux & Co utterly destroying the Minnesota North Stars in a finale game.  ‘92?  I’d have to Google it to be sure.

 

Haha, the famous 8-0 in game #6 in 1991. I'm still traumatized. But besides that blow-out, it could've been more interesting: The North Stars took a 2-1 lead in the series before losing stupidly game #4 and pooping in their hands the next game.
