Rejoice, San Jose Sharks fans, the Vegas Golden Knights did not win the Stanley Cup.

Last night, the Carolina Hurricanes finished off the Golden Knights 2-0 in Game Six of the Stanley Cup Final.

Brandon Bussi, who made his NHL debut against the Sharks in October, was the winning goalie.

No ex-San Jose Sharks lifted the Cup last night, but former Sharks such as Tomas Hertl and Adin Hill were with Vegas, as was assistant coach Joel Ward.

You do have to feel for Brent Burns, who was with the Canes from 2022 to 2025. Burns joined the President’s Trophy-winning Colorado Avalanche last summer, but the Knights beat the Avs in the Western Conference Finals.

Congrats, Carolina! It was a victory for analytics and smaller hockey players, too!

Hurricanes GM Eric Tulsky started his hockey career as an analytics blogger, and the Canes’ line-up featured five 6-foot-0 and under regulars versus zero on the Knights’ side.

I can understand why the default would be to trust that NHL teams know more about every aspect of the game than random bloggers.

In the most smug voice I can muster: "well he's not ideal size…is he really the kind of guy you win with in the playoffs?" Walker, Ghost, Stank, Blake all just proved that you just find good players and good things happen.

Dan Vladar is close to a big extension with the Philadelphia Flyers.

What would a Dylan Larkin trade to the Utah Mammoth look like?

Two Colorado Avalanche skaters receive NHL All-Star honors.

What does the trade market for Jacob Markstrom look like?

If they don’t trade the pick, who might the Florida Panthers want at ninth-overall?

The Pittsburgh Penguins need another impact forward.
