So...is your friend Nolan Patrick...?

No he was a former Flyer they traded.

And well couldn't resist the need to be a smart ass I blame @ruxpin for being a bad influence.

He hasn't played in over a year i imagine he is or will be retired...

Completely forgot that Forsling, one of the good surprise of the Panthers, had been claimed off waivers from the... Hurricanes.

I'm resentful of the success VGK has had right from the jump.

It was a surprise, in the spring of 2018, to see the Capitals make the Stanley Cup finals, and that their opponents would be a first-year-in-league Vegas Golden Knights squad.

And of course a ton has changed in five years, but back then, despite losing Game 1 to Vegas, the final turned out to be Washington’s easiest series win of their magical run, BY FAR.

Just sayin’. Maybe Florida handles them with relative ease too, here in 2023.
