from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,

- ...If a team of almost entirely perceived third-liners and fourth and fifth defensemen advanced to the conference finals (with a 3-1 lead, no less), would everyone be raving about the general manager (and scouting department) who constructed the club, or the coach instead?

Because honestly, has there ever — ever — been a better coaching job in the NHL than the one Gerard Gallant has turned in this year for the Golden Knights?

Fred Shero with the Flyers in 1973-74, maybe?...

- Either the use of video review is limited by the rule book, or it isn’t. Except not in the NHL, where the league makes up rules on the fly.

If they “wanted to get it right” in Game 4 of Washington-Tampa Bay when Yanni Gourde rather than Victor Hedman was mistakenly sent to the box for tripping T.J. Oshie before the officials corrected their mistake upon checking video, will everyone be on board with getting it wrong in the final?

Or will we find out, much like with Brett Hull’s in-the-crease 1999 Cup winning goal, that a memo had been sent out weeks earlier?

more on the Vegas Golden Knights plus a good chance David Quinn is the next cooach of the New York Rangers....
