Dumb penalties kill you every time. Dallas don't have the enough scoring to overcome these freebies.

Pull the goalie. Bolts up 3-0. Yeah this one's over.

Wouldn't be the first time someone comes back from a 3-0 deficit. Dallas just needs to survive this period without giving up any more goals. Maybe it's not the night for Dobby though.

I never make that type of prediction, I've seen countless 0-3 comebacks. This one just feels like a sure thing. (Now watch Dallas score 4 in the 2nd) :laugh:

I've seen a couple of "sure things" that weren't so sure after all. Dallas looked a step or two slower than Tampa after the first goal but hockey is a random sport lol.

Cooper does it quite often. Which has always left me leery given his depth on D. They got caught out with only nine forwards one game against NYI.

I’d maybe get it if one D was a PP specialist, like Streit was. But it seems like it means playing three crummy D instead of two. Of course your 12F is no star, but you lose the natural symmetry for a bad player. Maybe I’m a little nutty because subs in coaching any sport was always my least favourite part.

Dallas might be able to compete with Tampa, but to compete with Tampa and the refs? Tough sledding.

Not saying the refs were good but they certainly did not favor one team over the other. Dallas lost because Kucherov made two highlight passes and their goalie gave a kind of weak goal and against TB's defense and Vasi it's going to be a lost more often than not.

I never really considered this aspect. One of the coolest things about winning the cup as a player is to have a day with it and share it with your family and the community that helped you get to the nhl.

That's too bad. I think the players will miss it.

Sergachev is looking pretty good for his age.:)

He's got a good future although a far cry from the norris winner people were suggesting. You look at guys like Heiskanen who are younger and more ahead. There's other players as well who are just fantastic who make even a blue chip like Sergachev look second tier.
