Managed to stay interested in this year's Playoffs until the Final Four. Really not enthused with the 2021 finalists however...
Would have preferred to see the New York Islanders and Vegas Golden Knights in the Finals.
Might re-watch some of the games from the seven-game series between the Lightning and Islanders.
The Semi-Finals can often be more entertaining than the actual Finals.

| Max Pacioretty 2018-19 Upper Deck #430 |
Max Pacioretty (formerly of the Canadiens) got to experience defeat at the hands of his former team.
Turning point in the series was a bad bounce when Vegas goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury tried to play the puck behind the net.
Seems rather unusual that 3 of the 4 teams to make the Final Four in 2020 would return in 2021.
(Dallas made the Finals last year, completely missing the Playoffs this season)
I kinda think it's a bit remarkable for 3 teams to make it this far in consecutive years, especially with the league structure being messed up for two years. Not to mention the parity in Gary Bettman's NHL where any team can win during any season.
This success has gotta mean something for the Lightning, Islanders and Golden Knights - If they can afford to keep everybody.
