    could you imagine if tampa became “the city of champions”? yeah, me neither.

    boston looked pretty sloppy last night (to my less than expert eye).

    go isles! go knights!

    I am so happy that the Isles are winning.  It has been a loooooooong time!

    Too many injuries to the defense caught up to them. Islanders heavy hitting style added to wearing down a thin corps.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    The Isles made the semis last year.

    I like their team and am rooting for them, but I don't like Trots much.  
    They have two good goalies and lots of guys to root for 

    As long as it is not the Golden Shower Knights, I am good.  Impressive the way Tampa flipped the switch 
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Last year didn't feel like this and they didn't look this good.

    Last time I enjoyed them this much Pat LaFontaine played for them...

    The Isles have a strong lead blue line pair, but it thins out after that.  I'm biased, but I think they will struggle against matching up line over line with Tampa's depth at forward.  By contrast, Tampa can roll out two excellent pairings and then a third one that is strong (Savard and Rutta).  Anything can happen, but on paper Tampa has a clear advantage.  NY will try to beat up Tampa, but that's not easy either.

    Agree that Tampa has a clear advantage (over everyone) on paper.....but plenty of times the better team on paper can lose the series.  
    Isles just did it to the Ruins.

    The Bruins are just so reliant on that top line for everything.  If you recall in the series against Tampa last year, they barely scored at all 5-5.  All the production was on the PP.  This series was the same.

    Trotz is a winner…if he starts stacking Cup Championships together he’ll go down as one of the greats…

    Hahaha.  
    We covered this.  2 cups in the last 9 years.  Am I jealous of a new franchise that has never won a cup?


    Nope.

    It's perfectly reasonable to hate Vegas and jealousy has nothing to do with it

    You sure your dislike of Vegas has nothing to do with the fact the Knights swept LA in Vegas’s inaugural season…he, he…
