Matt Ross: Wrench in the Return to Play Plans?

Billy Lindsay scored the most memorable goal of the '96 playoff run. He walked around hall of famer Ray Bourque to send FL on to the second round.

The reality is the shortened season and funky playoff format are not what's really going to put that asterisk next to this year's Stanley Cup Champions.

The real reason this year's cup won't be legit is if teams lose players to Covid-19 and the league continues to move ahead.

Toronto without Auston Matthews in the playoffs is much less capable team for example.

Then there is the questions if any players will elect not to participate.

It's a tough situation. Many fans talk about pulling the plug on this season and trying to start next season under more normal circumstances. Seems reasonable but who knows what the situation will be then.

Probably one of my favorites in franchise history.

Turns on the gas, gets around a HoF Bourque, and somehow maintains his balance/coordination after being tripped up by Bourque’s desperation move. Such a beaut!
