    I like Torts.  Did a great job in Tampa for a long time...until he didn't  
    He has only been past the 2nd round twice as a head coach...he is so over-rated...and to score 1 goal in your last 2 home playoff games is unacceptable.  Columbus has some big names available in free agency...hop Montreal goes after Duchene...
    Yep, been riding the coattails of that one Cup his entire career.

    Agreed.  I am beginning to think the Maple Leafs hired a coach based on 1 cup...he also has had very little success past round 2 lately.

    Blues playing Animal in between puck drops.  Almost makes up for Gloria.

    Hartford Hurricanes gonna wipe out the Bruins.
    I'll be sporting my 90s Whaler jersey.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Double OT.  Why did Tampa get rid of Bishop?  He's having a game for the ages...

    This game might kill me. It really might. We’ve played outstanding. It only took us five games to figure out how to beat Dallas’ pressure...but Bishop has been outstanding. Just amazing.

    Well deserved.  Bishop was great.

    We’re very slow though. Dallas really exposed that. Dunn is quick and can handle the puck, but the rest are soooo slow. Bouwmeester and Gunnarsson are the two who give me the most grey hair.

    You know the team better than me.  But they looked good in game 7, from my perspective.  My 1st choice would be to see the Blues win the Cup, 2nd choice SJ.

    Being a Blackhawks fan I am supposed to hate the Blues.  I certainly don't like them, but I was a big fan of Brett Hull growing up and I dislike Dallas more.  So, I'm pleased that the Blues have eliminated them but that is the last I root for St. Louis.  I will say their fans deserve the thrill & spoils of seeing their team lift the Cup, though.

    Oh they absolutely looked great last night. It took almost the whole series for us to figure out how to break the Dallas one man up front press. Either east west passes across the whole width of the ice and then a quick pass up to the forwards, or having a speedy D like Dunn just blowing down the middle. 
    Obviously the Blues are my first pick. I’d be okay with Carolina or Colorado winning since they’ve won behind. Then San Jose even though that would be another team beating us to a Cup who joined much later. My last choice would be Boston, because Fuck David Backes. Our moronic fans hold that guy on a pedestal and I’m so glad he’s being exposed as a hack. Seeing him hold the cup would be a nightmare come true. Sorry Bruins fans. It’s nothing against your team.
