Man, we sure feel bad for Lundqvist this morning, but he wasn't the reason the Lightning won last night. Impossible for a goalie to win a game 7 without any goal support, that simple. Even one goal could've gotten MSG rocking, but no one stepped up. Oh yeah, that was unbelievable that McDonagh played with a broken foot. Most Hockey players are tough SOB's, but that's crazy tough. Kudos to him for doing so. Bitter sweet though, I'd rather my favorite team play someone at full strength. The Lightning was fortunate the Rangers didn't have Zuccarello (Very gritty player who makes crowd pleasing type plays) and their captain at full strength for game 7 last night...

We're so happy for this Lightning team at the same time and thanks for congrats by everyone who gave it. Even reaching "The Cup" final is a heck of an achievement. With the parity the NHL has going on these days, its a tough chore even reaching the finals. I've said it before but I'll say it again. "The Stanley Cup" is the toughest trophy to win in sports, in my opinion. I still can't believe the two game 7's this Lightning played against such experienced seasoned teams. Those off-season acquisitions and trades the Lightning made really completed this young teams chemistry. This gave them the needed experience/depth for the rough times. Last years Lightning team would've folded like Superman on laundry day during those high pressured playoff moments this year. Those are looking to be brilliant Hockey moves now, but there's still a ton of hard work left for this Lightning team because both these West teams are great proven teams. These will be the toughest 4 wins this Lightning has ever chased, but it's "The Cup" on the line. It shouldn't be easy, especially for newbie NHL organization trying to prove their worth. We're allowing ourselves one day to celebrate this Lightning achievement, and then its back to being freaked out..... lol

Great series Rangers!!! Tough resilient team you've got, and I dislike going against a team I like. I really hope they get Hank that "Stanley Cup" one day, I really do. Hopefully those lessons and experienced gained will do this Lightning team good moving forth.

Go Lightning !!!!!
