More NHL Notes: Sam Reinhart/”Babe” Dye

Some noted that Sam Reinhart’s 4 goals in a Cup clinching tilt, (2 into an empty net and yet Tkachuk not he got/gets credit for the prestigious Stanley Cup winning goal) tied “Babe” Dye’s record set 103 years ago when Dye’s team, the Toronto St. Patricks also clinched the title with a (5-1) win.

Did anyone note that goals by both Reinhart and Dye gave their respective teams (1-0), (4-0) and (5-0) leads?!! Dye made it (2-0) and deservedly is listed as the Stanley Cup winning goal scorer, while Reinhart, who made it (3-0) with his second goal, more or less ridiculously, is not.

Oh Corey Perry, you did win one (’07 with Anaheim) but this is the 5th time in 6 seasons, with 4 different teams that said Perry team, lost in the NHL final.

Finally with likely more from both the NHL and NBA ahead, the Florida/Miami area now joins New York (really if it was not for the Yankees …), Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia and Los Angeles as the 7th to have teams with at least 2 crowns in all 4 major sports leagues.

Miami: The Heat (3-4) in final rounds lead with three titles while the Marlins, yes the Marlins (2-0) in the entity, Dolphins (2-3) and now the Panthers (2-2) have each won 2 crowns.
