FOH with the asterisk shit

lightning and stars are here legitly. may the best team win.

 

[Master P]

I'm going with Dallas for the cup.

I'm always wrong though.

Thank you. I appreciate this

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

There will be no asterisk, there was literally no difference in the playoffs besides no fans.

Fans are a huge part. Traveling, home ice advantage, etc.

It’s just not the same, sorry.

 

[The Macho King]

So I knew from my time travelling that Barclay Goodrow would be in on the series winning goal, as I posted a few hours ago, but I didnt get to actually see it. How much was it Goodrow's creation that lead to the goal?

Goodrow had a great pass.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Congrats to Tampa on winning the east and taking the Prince of Wales trophy.

 

[AaronDellForPrez]

Team Pavelski vs Team Goodrow. You know every game has to go to OT for the finals now.

Stamkos was there cheering them on, so there was one fan.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Sergeychev is pretty good but I am not seeing a superstar as I am repetitively told

Pretty good for a 22 years old dman in CF is music to my ears.

 

[King K Rool]

And still soft as tissue paper. A light breeze knocks him off the puck. lol

Yeah that was the aspect of his game I disliked the most when he played for the Oilers, how he would purposely shy away from any contact whatsoever. At least he's scoring goals in the playoffs now.

 

[JT Kreider]

Anyone who even brings up the asterisk isnt s real fan of the sport and is making a mockery of all the hard work the players put in to get to this point. I have too much respect for them to do that.

 

[Lightning1995]

Welp Cirelli did not have an issue with Lee, so I shouldn’t. I was wrong about that being a dirty play

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Ugly, but it counts.

That's as typical as a 2 time OT clinching SCF goal as you'll ever see. No ugliness in this, Cirelli did a good forecheck and his effort got rewarded.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

All on Barzal and Nelson.

Totally

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I have a ton of respect for Trotz and the Isles. I really thought we were going to choke that.

 

[trigzter]

Thank you tampa. The stanley cup will be watchable now

The compete level in this sport during the playoffs is unlike anything else. Nothing matches it. Who ever wins it all deserves it.

 

[Thirty Seven]

Every team I've wanted to win has lost so far. Lets go Tampa!

 

[Danrs112]

Lol yeah,, the asterisk will say....random salty nobody on internet forum thinks asterisk matters.

 

[JoVel]

Lol yeah,, the asterisk will say....random salty nobody on internet forum thinks asterisk matters.

You think the Cup winners will enjoy it one bit when they know there are people on HFBoards saying there's an asterisk??

 

[Bread and Circuses]

Well here is to hoping we see some form of emotion in the scf....

 

[ryerockarola]

they touched the non-Cup cup and took it back to their dressing room, good for Tampa

looking forward to the Finals! Saturday I would imagine. Good luck all

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I just couldn't be happier to be honest.

From an Islanders fan to a Leafs fan that couldn't be happier to see the Islanders lose - even though his team lost to the f***ing Blue Jackets in the play-in round.

What a turn of events.

 

[LivingRentFree]

Sure could have used a player like Tavares...

Momentum can switch quickly in hockey.
