Apparently the Rangers No quit NY campaign referred to the Islanders!

The Isles are taking a page out of the Lou Devils and trying to bore the Bolts to death. Hey, it got them a win.

It worked against the Pens, it really is the most boring hockey to watch. Definitely reminds me of the 90's devils putting everyone to sleep

Yeah, well, on talent, the Isles are not even in the same galaxy as the Bolts so, this will have to be the formula. In some ways, I wished the Hawks did that more given how awful their blueline is now.


I think Bolts clinch next game. But, obviously, I want a Game 7 going into triple OT.

As much as I'd rather play the Islanders and give the Stars players a break, I don't want too much of a break to stop the Stars' hot streak.

So, Dallas North Stars vs. Tampa Bay Lightning...

I'll take the Bolts in 6. As much as I'm impressed with Dallas taking out Vegas, I don't think they have enough depth to push out TB. Just hope the series is close!

^ Everybody will pick the Lightning, and no surprise.

Let's hope the Stars' rest days make a big difference vs the Lightning's recent OT games.

Anyone find humor/irony if TB wins the cup and Stammer doesn't play a single play off game?

Deal except I never "pick" a winner, I just root and frequently I'm wrong. Hopefully last night is a harbinger of good things to come.

Well, the Stars shot themselves in the foot with all of those really stupid penalties in the first. But they didn't quit and came back... almost tied it there at the end. Gonna be a good series.

Well that was a fucking ugly game. More stupid penalties. I thought we were the better team for the first 8 or so minutes, then it was all downhill.

Usually means that the speed of the Bolts (i.e. their depth) is a factor. Penalties were not as much of a problem for the Stars against VGK because they matched up rather well against each other.


We'll see how the next game goes but Tampa is just too deep.

I agree that Tampa is deep, but my God that call on Benn in OT probably made IMJ lose his fawking mind. I'm not a fan of either team and I was pissed lol

What a shady non-call for a trip when his feet never contacted the skater's feet. Definitely a sketchy call and had a direct effect on the outcome

Agree...that was a horsebleep call. A pro league which is the best for the sport and they have idiot calls like that.

Corey fucking Perry!

I hate the dude but love that he's at least playing for us.


Yes, that call on Benn last game infuriated me. And what the fuck was that icing call against the Stars that hit the goalie leg pad? The refs all around are doing a poor job this final; bad calls and missed calls for both teams.


If we stay the fudge out of the box, we can win 5 on 5.

Only can Perry spear a guy in the balls in one game and then score the GWG in the other.

No. I will not believe TomTomBriddy and his cheating ways could help the Bolts. The Bolts won it the good ol' fashioned way: With great scouting, drafting, development, and system. They were my pick to rep the East and proved it throughout these playoffs -- this is without Stamkos too.

They are a darn good team.

Bolts winning without their "Elite Superstar" captain says a lot about how Steve Y put that team together the last few years and less about him being a leader or elite whatsoever. They won in spite of him which is pretty amazing, but also shows addition by subtraction because they never won with him
