Vegas is yet another tale of nerdies being supreme. They were never as bad as their record this year, in fact they were very very good. We knew this because of nerdies. But yes, unsustainably poor goaltending was one item that brought them down despite largely being the best team on the ice on most nights.

Avs nerdies were not supreme?

They made the final four. We already knew they were good. They had the best record in hockey.

Vegas is a 95 point team and are in the finals. The gap between them and Colorado was not as wide as it appeared.

Yup. Both teams had top 4 nerdies and were in the final 4! Just the point is that one of those teams has 26 points more than the other, but nerdies say that was sorta lucky and goaltender driven (which isn't that important in playoffs since small sample randomness with goaltending creates that volatility as we saw with the Wedgewood drop off). Tldr: nerdies always win
 
Can you imagine the leafs are in the finals and you're cheering for a non leaf to win the conn smythe for the sole purpose of trolling Habs fans? That's a level of petty that is not in my DNA but I sort of respect it.

Mitch putting up a crazy good round, enough to take the Conn Smythe despite the Habs prevailing overall, would be the best of both worlds.

I saw Marner giving respect to the Avs in the handshake line.

The CBC reporter tried to get Mitch to say something about his Toronto past, but Mitch stayed strong.
 
Been seeing some funny stats about the Avs over the years.

Despite their cup, their record when down in series and in elimination games is legit abysmal.

SIMMONS: Sour Mitch Marner can't seem to leave Toronto dark days behind on way to Stanley Cup final

Vegas Golden Knights star can't help himself, can't seem to leave dark days behind on way to the Stanley Cup final. Steve Simmons has more,
torontosun.com torontosun.com

"You feel for him, really, watching this hugely talented but tortured soul, on his way to where his Maple Leafs never went, that he can’t allow himself to enjoy the celebration, can’t stop being the sour Leaf whose rather brilliant career stopped each season when the playoff games were important."
