There’s tangible momentum, and that’s a good thing. Games aren’t taking place midday on the USA Network. It’s also in line with what Saad Yousuf says may be the franchise’s biggest moment since its 1999 Cup win now, unlike the Stars’ run in 2020, people can actually attend games and public watch parties. You’ve got to go back to a Blackhawks– Blues game that aired on NBC to find one that drew more eyeballs than the 2.75 million (on average) that watched Game 7 of Stars-Kraken. But while we’re here, we will say this: The Dallas Stars just played in the most-watched Western Conference playoff game, period, since 2016. Unless you’re a media reporter or an ESPN executive, it shouldn’t matter all that much to you.

Talking about TV ratings is exhausting and largely pointless.

Now - this is a team that’s three wins away from a spot in the Stanley Cup Final. This is a team whose underlying numbers were still excellent even if their record didn’t match up. This is a team that was still dominant when actually healthy, something that was few and far between this season. This is a team that won the Presidents’ Trophy last season and added a borderline top-five player to that roster. It’s been a remarkable turnaround, but it’s not a surprising one. Florida is 8-1 since, finally living up to the hype. Even in these playoffs it seemed like they would be one of the first teams out after falling 3-1 to the Bruins after four games. It looked like that for almost the entire season when the team just struggled to get its act together. It looked like all the Panthers would amount to was wasted potential. There was a time when it didn’t look like that would happen. The Panthers are really starting to feel like a team of destiny. Florida is now 7-1 on the road with four of those wins coming in overtime. And how else but in overtime on the road.

It took almost 140 minutes - nearly seven full periods - but the Panthers finally prevailed and who else but Matthew Tkachuk. The rest get photos from a local(ish) beach, because how dare these True Hockey Markets also have sunshine and sand? This week is pretty straightforward: some words about the four remaining teams and some parting thoughts for the four teams that were just eliminated. That’s a good thing for this league and good for the growth of the game overall - especially when the four teams are this good. All four teams are Sun Belt teams? Who cares.
