Are you suggesting that Landeskog would pick up the Cup from Bettman, try to give it the hoist, have his knees buckle, and proceed to fall flat on his face?

Nope...suggesting when games get tight and everything is on the line, one team has pulled it out again and again and the other one hasn't. 

Not saying they can't do it, but they haven't shown it yet.

Tampa wins this one because this Avs team needs to lose one before they can win it next year. Thats how it works.🥴

The lightning lost in the first round before winning the last two cups 🤷‍♂️.

Ahem ... he's a Mac.  Scotish heritage.

Which raises the question... why was McAdoo pronounced Macadoo? Why not mickadoo?

There's limited rhyme or reason, as is often the case with matters Celt. One rule of thumb was that if you have a vowel following the M' (as the prefix used to be expressed - no Mc or Mac to it), then you used a Mack sound. But McNamara, as an Irish-American name, became an exception to that rule. (The McNamaras that I know from Ireland are "Mehk-Namaras.")

The only 100% reliable guidance is how a particular family pronounces their name.

Very true.

One does find Macs in Ireland too, but I have not come acrost any Mc from Scotland.

And now there has been such a jumbling up of the gene pool that one easily finds Joness and Smiths in Scotland.

Oh for sure. I know an Irish MacGuinness, whose name is nonetheless pronounced mehk-Guinness. And I know at least two Scotch-Irish-American McElroy clans -- one of them are the mehk-Elroys, and the other are the MACK-Elroys.

Lol.

I still want to know more about these Irish pronunciation conventions.  McEnroe just crossed my mind, too.  And McIntyre.  I'd say it's the vowel, but McNamara is still out there.  Edit:  And then McAdam crushes the vowel thing.
