Not to take away from the series win against St Louis but Binnington seemed to get rattled fast. That’s the Blues problem though and you take it and run no matter who you are
Doubt creeped into my mind with Vegas after they lost game 2. I thought they would buckle down and squeak out that win (but have it a close game). I like DeBoer but I think he’s a downgrade on Gallant. He out coached himself against Penguins that one year too (though the Penguins were dominant and made the Sharks look silly too IMO)
Totally agree on Tampa. After they exorcised their demons with Columbus I felt it was theirs to lose. Especially now with these other series getting dragged out with whatever teams winning being depleted and not looking as sharp as they could heading into the conference finals. Tampa should demolish Isles or Philly and I see them winning in 6 at the most against whatever team comes out of the West. Too many question marks for every team left.
The fact that Stamkos could still make an appearance is also just peachy. Although I don't know if they would want to mess up the chemistry
