I always feel a tad sad when a season winds down; I enjoy the games as well as the conversation here.

But this series (and season) is winding down.

The turning point was the waning seconds of the 2nd period, Game 2. The Habs were out playing Tampa, the Bolts were lethargic (other than Vasikevskiy), the crowd had been neutered, and Montreal would've been in position to win a period, and win a game.

But the bothched play/turnover changed all that.

The Bolts were likely winning the series anyway, but the Habs' only hope - like the Islanders - was to force a coin flip Game 7 and take their chances.

Not cheering for Tampa to win, but absolutely all in on the Scabs being swept. I know that means Tampa wins, but so be it. Lesser of two evils.
That's where I'm at. I want the flukey friggin scabs swept right out and made to look like the foolish lucky sob's they have been this farce of a season.

The good part is the NHL starts up in a couple of months
Hopefully Tampa is exhausted from their playoff run

Somebody wake me up after the stupid light show, the dumb skit that encourages kids to play with fire, and the endless parade of toilet seat wearing white haired old fossils from the last time those idiot fans got a sniff of the Cup.

Well, we got ghosts, the Forum, St. Catherine St., 1993, 3500 sounding like more, and Guy Carbonneau, that's a full Habs Cliche Bingo card before the puck is dropped. Somebody send me the puke emoji.
