Sun Belt series features two teams who have never won Stanley Cup
Jon Hamm is excited for this Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and Vegas Golden Knights.
“It’s so refreshing and it’s so amazing,” retired player Anson Carter said. “When you constantly hear people saying hockey can’t work in the South or the Sun Belt markets, they’re wrong.” Commissioner Gary Bettman has gotten flak over the years for markets like Quebec City and Hartford losing their teams. He sees it more as growing the NHL’s footprint – something that got the league back on national television in the early 1990s when he took over and expanded hockey into the American South and West.
“I’ve been there once, and it didn’t work out,” Cassidy said after his Golden Knights beat the Stars in Game 6 of the West final on Monday night. “It’s what you want, but so do 31 other teams, right? And only two get to go there. … You have to enjoy these moments.” “The demand for these events now, it’s almost new,” he said. “Viewership-wise maybe you take a hit by not having the New York and the California markets, but this is what builds franchises. And so, long term it’s certainly a good thing.”The only thing hotter than the weather in Las Vegas and South Florida is Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, who has won 11 of his past 12 games, stopping 438 of 465 shots for a 1.95 goals-against average and .942 save percentage.
