[peate]

Made this thread to keep the final series talk out of the Out of town thread for now.

I'll go with Bolts in 6.

Tampa in 5 6. I think they are just too good of a team for Dallas. Tampa-Colorado would have been a much more exciting final.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Picked Bolts in 6. Don't think Stars goaltending will hold up against TB, but Dallas is big & strong. They'll challenge TB, but not enough to win.

Hintz with the winner for Dallas in game 7 double overtime...

 

[WeThreeKings]

Depends on Point's health

 

[The Real Timo]

I’m just glad Covid cup will be over Sep 30 or sooner.

never got any excitement once Habs got bounced. And even then.

I'm just so ready for the draft.

When is the draft? And had NHL hinted what and when new season will be like?

 

[JuJu Mobb]

TB might get Stamkos back.

TB in 7.

Tomorrow should probably have been the first pre-season Habs game vs The Laffs. In normal times that is; Now who the f*** knows what's going on.

I think Tampa will win.

But man would I ever like to see Radulov star in a Dallas win - and make MB look totally foolish.

GWG or monster final game for either Serge or Rads would be wonderful. Sergachev doing that would sting more, imo.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Don't see Tampa losing unless injuries.

 

[Miller Time]

Nill vs Yzerman/Brisebois...

Battle of the teams built by GMs the Habs could & should have targeted over the years.

 

[mariolemieux66]

I will probably end up voting tomorrow before the game. I am very surprised at Dallas being there and other than Seguin, everyone really pulled their weight. I think if Point is back at 75%, Tampa Bay wins this. If Dallas wants to win, they will have to go after Tampa's dmen, especially, Sergachev, Shattenkirk and Hedman. Dallas has several big bodied forwards that can skate.

I know I will have my eyes on Heiskanen. With Kucherov and Hedman they are the 3 best players in this series. There is one thing that impressed me with Heiskanen is that, when he makes a mistake, he often makes up for it with a good defensive play and gets the puck back at times.

Oct 6 7

Stars have pretty much been written off in the last couple of series, and I expect they will be written off once again here against tampa, but if they do win, what a path they have taken.

To get through a gauntlet of Colorado, Vegas, and tampa with your #2 goalie.... That's as impressive as it can get.

 

[Walrus26]

Go Stars! Veteran mode engaged.

Last time i checked the draft will be arround oct 6 and as for the new season i heard dec 1st or Jan 1st .Nothing is set in stone for the new season yet , they are speculating.

They still want to play 82 games , but it's looking more and more like a 60 + season, with alot of back to back and 3 games in 4 nights

I remember reading perhaps as little as a 48 game season. It really depends on how many venues and how much travel will be involved. I guarantee the league will be watching very closely to see what happens with the NFL which is a logistics nightmare compared to the NHL.

 

[The Great Weal]

Tampa winning without Stamkos would be damn impressive. That's what you call building through the draft Marc you stupid f***ing idiot.

 

[cphabs]

Good lord... Sergachev... He just turned 22...

 

[NotProkofievian]

I want Joel F*cking Kiviranta to hoist the cup for Antti Mäkinen related reasons.

 

[peate]

Good lord... Sergachev... He just turned 22...

That trade will come back and haunt us for years to come.

 

[OldCraig71]

Good lord... Sergachev... He just turned 22...

Look at Victor Hedman now and what he was at 22, I am not saying that Sergachev will be as good as VH but he is off to a strong start in his NHL career.
