Wild Time
Now that is was playoff hockey is all about. What an entertaining game of puck. The backup goalie, I will go with his nickname on his mask, Vasy, gets the win despite only playing 10 minutes or so. Is it Monday yet?

I forgot I said I was gonna post a pic from Game 2.
This was our seats, we had great view of everything that was going on.

Sweeeeet. Must have been an awesome atmosphere. Especially with the Hawks fans there.
As a home fan, you never like to see opposition colors, in any real numbers, in your arena, but I do think it livens up the atmosphere.

The Hawks fans certainly added to the atmosphere. As much as the Hawks fans on social media liked to ***** about the whole "opposing team jersey policy", there was no shortage of Hawks fans there. I was actually taken aback when the Hawks scored their first goal, the cheering was so loud from the Hawks fans.
Everybody was nice too, I never once saw/encountered an overly rowdy fan.
The atmosphere outside the arena once the game was over was great too. I never got to experience that during the Calder Cup Final in Houston in 2011. Both of the games I went to were losses, including Game 6 when Binghamton won it on our home ice. Walking back to the car in Tampa reminded me of that, but this time it was off a win so everybody was all amped up and celebratory, walking through the streets of Tampa with SWAGGER I tell you!

loved the response from the Bolts to score right away after Chicago took the lead. Take the crowd and energy right out of it. Hope they can win again in Chicago and put these guys on their heels.

Crazy game. Chicago got really lucky at the end there, Tampa was just whipping it.
Lightning look like the better team.

Thank you, sweet rabbit
At least Tampa showed some fight at the end of the game last night. Should be a good rest of the series and I'm really thinking we see a Game 7 at this point.
If the Hawks do end up winning the Cup, I really hope Saad comes away with the Conn Smythe and drives his next contract through the roof and really puts the screws to Chicago's cap situation. I guess that's my only real silver lining if I have to endure the Hawks winning again.

Unfortunately, I've now accepted Chicago winning the cup. This game was the back breaker for me. I still want Tampa to win though.
For all of the guys complaining about Vanek floating did you see the Kane highlights in game? Kane is a floater just like Vanek. Only difference is Kane showed up for the playoffs (against us anyway), he puts up more points, and he has flash.

Chicago plays damn good hockey. Wish they didn't win as often as they do but you have to admire it. Step it up at the right times, draft right, cycle depth. 3 Cups in 6 years would be a major accomplishment. Especially in the salary cap era. Rivalries aside, you have to appreciate it.

Kane gets away with floating because of his points and flash. People complain on here because Vanek floats. They are both variations of the same play style. One is elite and one is just good. I'd be willing to bet Vanek is better defensively than Kane though.

Kane is faster, more skilled, better along the boards, has a better shot...
The only thing I'd say Vanek is comparable to Kane is their passing skill.
Really... the Hawks are potentially going to win the cup because of that idiotic play between Hedman/Bishop? I would be so pissed as a Lightning fan right now. As a Wild fan, I'm just as upset that the Hawks will win another one. Feel like there's zero chance the Lightning take the next two.
At least we lost to the champs? Nope, used that excuse 2 years ago.

Unfortunately, with the way the Lightning are playing, I just don't see them coming back to win this. Not even from 1 goal down.
The last 2 goals they've let in have been goals off of terrible rebounds from Bishop and no defense from the defensemen. I mean, what the hell was Sustr doing there?
