Canes Punch Cup Final Ticket, Canada's Drought Hits 33

The best image of the night, though, had nothing to do with chants or controversy. K'Andre Miller's son is 27 days old. He's already been to a Conference Final clincher, and now he's getting a Stanley Cup Final on the schedule before he can roll over. Miller cradling the baby rinkside in a Champions hat is the kind of moment you frame forever — and the kind of reminder that for all the trolling, there's still a Cup to win.

Carolina-Vegas. Two markets that didn't exist on the NHL map a generation ago, playing for the oldest trophy in sports. Canada gets another summer of pain. Nate's already side-eyeing whether Kabhrel is angling the time bank to mess with the Canes' rhythm in the Final. The puck hasn't even dropped and the conspiracies are flying. Good.
