Good.

TB held up their side... too bad the Avalanche couldn't, that would have been an amazing series.

Man, they had some chances. Lots of action there at the end...

Tampa man they’re like a machine

Some excellent block shots by Tampa at the end.

I love that shit when guys sacrifice their body like that at the end of the game to win and send your team to the cup final. I respect that.

Would it? They folded like a cheap suit against a side who had just had a tough seven game series and you think they could have stood up to Tampa?? :-) The Vegas series exposed them...they wasn't the team you and others thought they were and the same applies to my knights too...the regular season meant nothing in the playoffs.

"The popularity of the league will not grow in the current form (officiating). They have to have a plan moving forward. I don't want to see stars being mugged and headlocked all over the ice. You are just dumbing down the game for those with less skill." Ferraro.

They have improved but during the playoffs they just go back to prison rules although still better than the 90s clutch and grab shit, weaker teams will always try and find way to make the game boring to compete otherwise they are just rolling over.

Philip Danault is pretty unknown to most hockey fans but here is a quote from Nate Mackinnon.

"Yeah I think an underrated guy would be Phillip Danault in Montreal. I think he should.... I don't know if it's Selke recognition or not but he should. He's so hard to play against, he's such a good centerman man, he's all over me man every time we play Montreal home or away. I find it's definitely really hard to get space against him, and hopefully he earns a Selke one day I think he deserves it. I think he's good against everybody not just me."

No game day thread?

"It does get slippery out there" Great line.

Fark.

Pretty even play so far , small lapse and nice goal from them
[Reply]

It'll be interesting to see the adjustments as the series progresses... TB getting a lot of time on their end of the ice lately, but nothing crazy in terms of chances or even SOG.
