Stanley Cup Final 2021

[Norcal]

Does anyone else think Blake Coleman is increasing his value with every shift in the playoffs?

I just see a $$ sign above his head all over the ice.

Could be.  He is certainly a guy who likes to compete in the playoffs.  Not sure he will change the fortunes of a non-playoff team over 82 games but definitely a gamer.  

[Thorner]

This is a good game 

[bob_sauve28]

Tampa is so deep.

This game is so good. The hitting… every inch of ice contested. Everyone going all out. This is a war. Much respect to both teams. 

[Taro T]

20 minutes for Moe-ray-all to find a way to figure out Vasilevskiy.

I'm not sure his salary will match if it keeps going up but he is capable of 20 goals and shows up every night. He makes plays on special teams and has a good reputation. Teams will line up to sign him. He will definitely help.

Weak penalty at the end of the second there.

[Pimlach]

Back in the day that net would not give as it was attached to metal stakes.  Ouch.

Some truly horrific injuries back in those days.

The pegs are sooooo much better than the stakes or the magnets.

I am not sensing any semblance of a comeback from Montreal right now.  
 

They need to generate more offense or the Cup stays in the hockey Mecca that is known as Tampa Bay.

Good thing for them is so far they still only need 1 seeing eye shot in these final 14 or so minutes to get to OT.

But yeah, Vasilevskiy is looking rather unbeatable the couple of times the Habs have actually gotten chances.

Oh I like to call them the … Tampa Bay “oh please call us a dynasty already” Lightning. 😂

Vasilevskiy has clinched the last 4 series with shut outs. This will be 5. 

Conn Smythe dark horse after Kucherov

What about the old pointy centre of the net.

Wasnt it Mark Howe who went in hard and was impaled near his spine?

[Ogre]

I’m 100% certain that you will be able to find frog legs on a special board in any random Tampa Bay restaurant tomorrow.

Tampa with great pressure on however has the puck.  Tampa wins another.  
 

Yawn (Stretch) yawn (scratch). 

[WildCard]

Better team won.

Let the offseason begin.

Congrats Tampa Bay

 

[Wyldnwoody44]

Yeah, Montreal had zero chance. 

Now let's change the cap rules please. 

[Norcal]

Tampa was too much. Vasilevsky is championship level. 

[Der Jaeger]

Eichel-watch officially on.

[Thorner]

Pittsburgh outplayed everyone to back to back cups, Tampa is just plain better than everyone. Easy betting favorite for next year's Cup. Strongest team I'd say since 2002 Red Wings
