Morning Skate: Complete

It is Wednesday, my dudes.

And our long, on-the-outside-looking-in playoff nightmare is over: the NHL has a new champion.

The Vegas Golden Knights, well known as a long-suffering franchise, won their first Stanley Cup last night with a gentlemen’s sweep of the Florida Panthers.

Bruce Cassidy, fired as Bruins head coach prior to this season starting, headed west and got his Cup. I don’t think many (if any) of us around these parts hold any ill will towards Cassidy, so congrats to the former coach.

Former Bruin Reilly Smith will get his name on the Cup as well, as will BU Terrier and Massachusetts native Jack Eichel.
