I’ll actually be happy for whatever team wins it. It’s been a strange year.

Same here, i was pulling for Vegas & Caps in the conference finals, so that's that.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

Should be Boston-Vegas finals.
Not gonna lie, still pissed we didnt make it. I am still pissed we didnt get by Tampa.
I still take it all back to that last game of the season where we couldve drawn Jersey in round 1

So was i but minus Carlo and just too banged up all over, i got over that defeat pretty quickly.

I wish we had the chance.... as the officiating dictated the outcome of our series with Tampa far too often.

That being said, I really do not see us getting by the Caps if we beat Tampa.

As disappointing as the Bruins play against Tampa was, they still didn't come out and put up no goals back to back in series clinching games. You want to talk about a choke job. Tampa is up 3-2 in the series and they post no goals the rest of the way. Wow.

Pretty incredible considering TB led the league in offense this year with 296 goals, by a considerable margin (+19 over 2nd place TO and Winnipeg at 277).

They said on Sportsnet they didn't score a goal in the last 158 minutes of the series.

When you factor in that it happened against one of the all time greatest choking teams in NHL history, it's pretty amazing. When Tampa went up 3-2 in the series, I think everyone assumed it was over, including Tampa.

Loved watching Tampa choke.

Braeden Holtby owns the Bruins apparently.

Braden Holtby has beaten Boston 10 straight times. According to Wikipedia, he owns the Bruins.

Honestly, I didn’t. Got a different vibe from this Caps team after they took out PIT.

He pretty much owned Tampa the last two games- he must be getting sick rich

 

[Chief Nine]

And how they responded after being down 2 games to Columbus. I thought then that they had a different mindset too

They didn't either, which is why they won the last two games with shutouts.

Kane got the money, the term and the NTC

Kane got the money, the term and the NTC

7x7 and a NTC for 40 points a year, a locker room distraction and one of the poster kids of "all the potential, no results"

Quite a catch.

Let's see how that chemistry with Pavelski holds up...for a longer period of time.

Sad but true.

I think the locker room distraction thing is wildly overblown. San Jose's willingness to give him this deal just goes to show they think he's a great fit there and loved by the team.

But that money for a 40-something point winger is crazy.

But that money for a 40-something point winger is crazy.

They must be trying to become the Oakland Raiders of the NHL.....sign stupid deals that potentially screw the market for years.

So I guess the B's shouldn't try to model themselves after TB.

Yup, we are not built to beat a team like that, but it wouldn't matter as Holtby is unbeatable if your are in a Bruins uniform.

When did San Jose hire Chiarelli?

 

[JRull86]

Honestly, I'm happy for Ovechkin. As neat of a story as Vegas is, I hope Ovechkin finally gets one.

Not sure how all 4 zebras missed this one:

I hate Ovie, that dirty rat. He's like Crosby, he gets away with cheap shots, elbows, forearms, boarding, etc. because he's "Ovie." I lost whatever respect I had for that ahole after he deliberately knocked Carlo out last season. I hope Vegas makes the Caps look like weenies
