Tampa got no breaks that series. Calls went against them. Sticks broke at inopportune times. Goal waived off. And their goalies not playing all that great.
Karmic retribution for 2010-11 when they get ALL the breaks.
I love how every game Craig Simpson took the opportunity to bash Ovechkin/praise Stamkos.
At one point here is what Simpson said (Paraphrased)
"...blah blah blah..(montreal defender/Carey Price) just stopped Stamkos who is the best goal scorer in the planet beyond a shadow of a doubt! Don't talk to me about Ovechkin...he doesn't play a 200ft game"
Now...I thought of that...what is Simpson talking about here?? He suggests Stamkos is the best goal scorer (argument could be made despite Ovie being a 2 time reigning Richard winner) but then supports his argument by saying "because Stamkos plays better D!"
In every game he reinforced this by saying Stamkos was the best goal scorer on the planet.
I learned Simpson is a Candian mediot for sure. But then I remembered this:

Seems like Simpson is bitter that the Ovie-log didn't flush down the toilet.
Hockey Night always takes the opportunity to bash Ovechkin and pretty much any Russian player. Canadians seem very insecure about this subject and it goes for guys like Esposito too who always took shots at Russian players on XM.
