It's only fitting that the most well known rat that ever played scores a Stanley Cup Finals OT goal for the team that used to have rats in the locker room the year they made their first Finals appearance.

I hate Marchand, he’s a rat coward who hides behind the refs and acts like a count. Typical his rat arse scores the winner for a fake team with no fans

I feel bad for anyone not watching these finals. Every game has been a banger.

Once upon a time, you would be accurate. But he cut out the antics years ago.

Yeah. The Rat has grown up. He's not a doosh anymore. But he's still a rat.

yeah. It seems pretty clear that Florida and Edmonton are just way better than anyone else. The Conference Finals were terrible. But, these Finals have delivered. McDavid, Draisaitl, Marchand, Reinhart.

There have been some incredible moves that led to goals as well as some huge saves on both sides.

Someone is going to pay Sam Bennett way too much money after the playoffs he’s had



There are NO overpaid players in the NHL. Conner McDavid is the best hockey player on the planet and he makes $12.5 million per year.

There are 96 NFL players that make more money than Connor McDavid.
There are 135 NBA players that make more money than Connor McDavid. There are 135 NBA players that make more money than Connor McDavid.

What made that game so good was they just let them play in OT. No over officiating. Panthers stepped up, Oilers look unreal. What a series. No teams come close to these two at this level.

You have to pay for it.

Common sense tells ya more people will watch on free over,-air. 4K tv and also legitimizes the sport.

The Final was in NBC for years. It was recently on ABC. I'd be interested to see, but I bet ratings aren't that much different in TNT.

This isn't the 1980s. Most households have at least basic cable or the streaming equivalent.

100% agree - don’t even want to get started on how much MLB and NBA players get paid…
But I was speaking relatively - Bennett has a career high of 50-51 points over the regular season
I hope the salary cap continues to go up and these guys get paid more

I know a quite a few of middle-upper middle class families that have basically just a handful of streaming services and don’t really have access to the TNTS/TBS/USAs of the world. A lot of people just don’t care about cable networks anymore.
