re: The Stanley Cup Final(s): Tampa Bay Lightning vs Chicago Blackhawks

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 !!!!!

I can't figure you out man....you had a total meltdown all series and were bitching about the Rangers were going to win and Lundqvist was more clutch than Bishop. You even said you had money on the Rangers winning. No you're here posting memes shite talking how they've only won 1 cup in 75 years, Lundqvist sucks etc.

You're a miserable old cod aren't you






I think you're the only one here who got rustled

I expect Chicago to win tonight. They remind of the Kings last year. Never say die.

not at all. Just because your nuts haven't dropped yet doesn't make me an old coot.

The new on is "one since 40! (Clap clap clap clap clap)"

It's a shame the NHL didn't have a salary cap back then in 1994. No way the Rag$ would have won, or should I say, bought it back then.

Oh boy, what will I do now with someone not liking what I've said on the internet..... lol
For fun lets try this......
That team sure sucks donkey balls, don't they? Oh yeah, your favor hockey team is the worse since..... Well, since being compared to my favorite Hockey team of course. Not that good huh? Sorry, but throwing around insults has never been my thing, and neither has being an a-hole, but I'll leave that job for you though. Seems to suit you pretty good. Hmmmmm.... maybe I could get used to throwing mindless insults around on the internet. Nah....

Anyways, that was interesting. Now back to stuff that matters here, NHL Hockey. Hope tonight's game is interesting and I'd say Chicago has got all the needed experience to get through this. But, that's what I thought about the Rangers before last nights game too. So who knows? Just hope we all get an entertainment close game, I dislike blowouts. Doesn't matter to me who the Lightning faces either. Each team is a very worthy opponent.....

Wooo hooooo
Still can't believe the Lightning have this great opportunity in front of them. So ahead of schedule they are, but there's no guarantee they'll get back here. So they'll need to take total advantage here! Holy smokes, they're playing for "The Cup"

Go Lightning !!!!!!!
