Gostisbehere’s Cup Final Run Has Carolina’s Blue Line Producing

Shayne Gostisbehere is turning a former Red Wing label into something a lot more relevant in Carolina’s latest playoff push. When a defenseman leads the unit in Cup Final scoring, that tells you he is not just moving pucks - he is tilting the ice at the biggest possible time. Teams love to talk about blue-line offense until the games matter most, and then the guys who can actually drive it become worth their weight in gold.
