I'm 99% sure he had no idea the dude was Indigenous, still kind of random to make fun of a guy's name during a highlight. He's apologized and said he wanted to apologize personally to the player, not sure if that happened yet. The weird thing about all this: If the player's a white guy, it's just a dumb joke and nobody cares. As is, it's racially insensitive, and mostly nobody cares. If he made fun of a black guy's name, he would've been fired (or at least suspended) immediately. And I'm not calling for his job, it was a mindless comment and now he has egg on his face. That's punishment enough. It just proves the level of common decency is apparently still commensurate with the level of potential public outcry.

Leafs live to die another day... probably game 6 back in Florida.

I still can't even believe he thought it was a funny quip, culturally insensitive or not. ESPN officially has on the payroll a toilet paper humorist. Your move Disney.

Duncan Keith, Drew Doughty, Victor Hedman... recent HOF blueliners who've lifted the Cup, & this Leafs crew is missing... & I love Morgan Rielly, yet that's not his forte to shock absorb.
Florida won, yet it was 55-45 the whole series... could've easily gone 7 without much drama.
I think the Panthers could steal the Cup this year, Ekblad & Bobrovsky seem a traditional pair whose resume would fit that.

Carolina - Florida for all the sunbelt gold of the East... or something.
The West final matchups would nearly all intrigue me. Give us Dallas - Edmonton again, flared up playoff history would make good tv. Seattle-Vegas would be good too, expansion series even if VGK have made a Final already.

Carolina, Florida, Vegas, and Dallas/Seattle. Hockey purists are freaking out at this final four.
Florida/Dallas would be my preferred Finals pick.

I wish it could be Vegas - Seattle SCF.
But who am I kidding, I couldn't care less and won't be watching. And I'm Canadian who used to be such a big hockey fan.
Thanks Rogers.

Quebec City has a 21st century NHL arena right now today.

Panthers in prime position to head to the SCF, up 2-0 with the series going back to Miami. Happy to see them doing well, being Tampa’s far less successful cousin.

Unlike the Thrashers & now Coyotes, the Panthers have had to deal with enough local messes over the years. Sunrise FL isn't Miami, & it's not even Fort Lauderdale. It's fascinating that the Lightning & Panthers seem to have a sounder foundation than the Rays & Marlins... why MLB never exploded in Florida is a weird one - they play indoors no less.

Air conditioning. at one point, the ice in the Blues Arena was melting during games, and so they added those clear plastic curtain things to every exit, to keep the cold air in

Both conference championship series stand at 3-0; seems to be a foregone conclusion that the Panthers and Golden Knights will be competing in the Stanley Cup Final. Just like we all predicted 10 years ago.
