Stars were on their way to a game-1-style win until they let Point break away at the end of the first. That had to take the fizz outta their bubbly.
Bolts have so many ways to score. Only themselves and the most relentless forecheck seems to hold them back.
Congrats Ty.
The best team won. I raise my glass to the whole Tampa Bay area.
What an absolutely smothering last period of hockey by Tampa Bay.
That 3rd was amazing but the entire game was relentless. Perfect time for Vasy to get his first playoff shutout. Hell of a run by the Stars.
Thanks for the kind words, AFiBD and Sphinx. Go Bolts!
the Stars were punching above their weight the entire playoffs, but they gave a slightly dinged up Lightning team all they wanted in the finals.
Baseball is my first love sports-wise, but the Stanley Cup playoffs are probably my overall favorite. I usually lose interest in the playoffs across the board when my team loses/doesn’t qualify, but I just can’t say no to playoff hockey.
Hockey is played with the intensity knob at 11.
Playoff hockey is played at eleventy billion.
Go Bolts!!
WooHoo!!
