Breaking News: The Big Rig Stays in Tampa Bay; Signs a Two Year Extension

The living Stanley Cup Hat Trick, or should I say Pat trick – has signed an extension with the defending champs for two years worth an AAV of 1 million. After winning a Stanley Cup with his native St. Louis Blues, he helped the Tamp Bay Lightning become back-to-back champions, becoming the first player to win three consecutive Stanley cups since the 1980-83 New York Islanders roster.

Since 2019, Pat Maroon has made a whopping 74 playoff appearances, more than any other player in the last three seasons. He has scored six goals and had 17 points in his personal three-peat, including this stunning game-tying goal that is one of my personal favorites.

Aside from his leadership skills and veteran experience, Patty has also been known to be a modern-day enforcer of sorts, as he has become well known across the league for his physical presence and never shying away from a fight, especially when the Bolts need a boost to get going. He also loves to get in opponents’ heads with his on-ice taunting and chirping and has provided some of the best Mic’d up content in the entire NHL.

Edmonton Oilers Playoff Thoughts: Round 1, Game 5

As I pointed out in my Game 2 preview, the Edmonton Oilers are obsessed with adversity. They’ll start off playing average or terrible hockey, but then suddenly turn into the Harlem Globetrotters on ice when everybody on social media loses their minds prematurely. They went from hating Evan Bouchard’s defense to loving how he kept […]
