I didn’t think this Montreal team, had it in them. Are the lightning hungry enough for two in a row?… It is nice to see Canada represented in the cup final this year.

I would love for the Habs to steal a win from the Lightning, but this feels like Flames 2.0 of ‘04.

A couple things I never got.
1) the hate for Tampa bay. I get it. They beat us in 04 (I will argue I had more to lose than anyone not with the flames for the game 6 goal not counting) But is that the only reason? There is the cheating complaining, but the league monitors everything and is in the rules. So fans are just jealous?
2) the hate for Vegas. Everyone thought they did a shit job in the expansion draft. Everyone thought they would suck. They made themselves a great team. They weren’t gifted anything besides some stupid moves by GMs.

Petrangelo and Stone, only made that team better…. Steve yzerman built that Tampa team. And I’m a big fan of him. But I always cheer on our Canadian boys. Go habs go!

They weren’t gifted anything besides some stupid moves by GMs. To answer 1: I just don’t like Tampa Bay. I like new blood, and they are getting annoying. They’ve got the best D, best G, the best winger, and two top 15 C’s in the NHL. I just like to see them lose. 2: I just don’t like Vegas because of how well they’ve done out the gate. Makes you wish as a Flames fan to just start all over too, but ownership doesn’t want that. They desperately need a rebuild/retool, so this offseason should be interesting. I really wanted the Islanders to win because they would’ve been my #1 choice. But Vasilevskiy was just better. |

I like Vegas. I don't really buy into the "they were gifted a good team" argument. They made some good moves and made themselves great. Also they don't have any player that I really hate so that makes it easier.
I think it would have been a bad look for the NHL as a whole if they won the Cup in their first year of existence. Kinda makes the league look like a joke. But now that they're 4 or 5 seasons in, if they win one soon it's not a huge deal.
I'm a big fan of how Yzerman built that Tampa team into a powerhouse. Lots of respect. I hated the 2004 TB team because reasons but this team is completely different. I don't have anything against the franchise.

As an Arizona fan, I hate Vegas with a burning passion. I am glad they're out.
