Guess who locked up the President's Trophy in March?

Unofficial Stroke watch:
48 GP and 44 P with Chicago
68 GP and 50 P total on the season

Hell of a pickup by Chicago from a points perspective.  No idea his underlying advanced stats.

Possession numbers aren't great, and his on-ice shooting percentage is unsustainably high - though, it was absurdly low in Arizona. He's due for some regression next season, but will probably still put up as good numbers as Schmaltz did, and they also added Perlini in that deal.

Thanks Busta, adds an interesting dimension.

Matt Martin is a pretty tough guy, but man is old man Chara still a monster to fight.

Yeah that?s a bad idea every time.

There's a lot of interesting stuff here but the thing that I need to highlight is that Gritty won best team mascot. With 69% of the votes.

Yep.  The Leafs need to acquire him immediately

Gritty is awesome.

When reading the best female hockey player, my take away is: "seriously, they have a team named The Beauts?"

Ron Hainsey's got this.

What happens when Mitch Marner is cloned 3 times and all play on the same line together...

Oh my god.  That second goal is insane.

Having said that, a way to beat Tampa is possibly to try to take no (or almost no) penalties.  Obviously, that's not easy to do, will take a fair bit of luck, as well as refs willing to step aside, but if there's a team equipped to do it, it's Toronto.  A very large amount of the delta between Toronto and Tampa is special teams.  Eliminate the special teams battle will go a long way to making such a matchup essentially a coin flip.

How many more until everyone but Ovechkin gets their invitations rescinded? All those Canadians, lacking in American patriotic values.  ;D
