2020 Stanley Cup Final: Dallas Stars vs Tampa Bay Lightning | TBL leads 2-1

[account deactivated]

Does anyone know some good sites to stream this game from? Could really use the help

Do a free trial with something like YouTube TV (should have both NBC and NBCSN). The playoffs are gonna be over in the next week anyways, so it's perfect timing. This will allow you watch either on PC or on most other devices using the YT TV app.

Dallas is a big team, Im curious how that will affect this series. Tampa has some big players on the back end but some small forwards in the top 6. If tbs top 6 is able to avoid a beat down from the bigger team in Dallas and can use their speed well against Dallas then I like Tampas chances to produce some offense this series. Also since Dallas likes to use their D more in the offensive zone I expect the transition game to be huge in this series. Tampa likes to rush up with their d as well so I see this with Dallas as well. It should be entertaining at the very least.

Except for that apparently forgettable SCF series in 2004 when Tampa really did "win it all," beating the Flames in 7 games.

I think he is referring to our current team/core's run over the past 6 seasons (ECF losses, stanley cup lose, etc...)

Tampa has a bigger back end than Dallas. Shattenkirk is our only "smaller" defender. You guys probably have more size up front but we do have a much more grittier team than previous runs, just ask Columbus/Boston/Isles.

I still say that puck went in during game 6 lol

You know if people could post a picture that actually shows it crossing the line, not just speculation, than we could end this debate! But there is nothing to be found on the internet.

Funny enough though, this isn't as well known, that same shot/goal occurred a few years ago in a round 1 playoffs matchup, Flames vs Ducks, and the same call was made, NO GOAL. Google it, it is a pretty interesting article and so uncanny that it basically occurred again and the call once again went against the same team, Calgary. So nuts.

Dallas is trash. Please win this one Tampa.

 

[OKR]

Maroon with the biggest bitch move of the playoffs lol

 

[Hockeyholic]

I may have underestimated Dallas. I only picked them to win in four.

In Canada CBC streams it for free on their website...so all you need is a VPN.

Khudobin is in the zone.

Conn Smythe level play.

Point looks so hurt and no Stamkos, if they dont get healthy TBL is in big trouble. Also 20 people picked a Tampa sweep? Put some respect on Dallas' name.

The East is so much better than the West. I don’t know why we even participate.


Thanks Dallas. Show these clowns how hockey is played. Just like we did.

 

[Smokey McCanucks]

Veteran move by Seguin coming back out at the end of warm-ups there. Gotta think that's a schedule loss for Tampa though, they were looking for some breath by the end of it and Dallas looked fine. Should be more even rest-wise the next time out.

A stinker by Tampa was well expected but not as bad as the 1st and 2nd periods of that game. Dallas got the lead they needed and then turtled their way to the win, well deserved. Khudobin's annoyingly good. Onto the next one.

They really need Stamkos back though, that power play is hot garbage right now. Just give him 4th line minutes + power play. This is the 2nd time they've went ~15 PP's in a row without scoring in these playoffs. Funny how things change, last season they were a team that depended way too much on their power play, now it's a non factor.

definitely enjoyed you guys showing the haters last year and beating the Bruins. Hopefully the Stars can do the same.

I wish you were at least patient enough for Dallas to win more than a game to make posts like this. I'm not looking forward to a referendum on this silly East/West bickering all offseason must we start it after game 1?

LoL This is how we win and it works. We get a lead and you are screwed most of the time.

4 shots in 28 minutes of play and 3 of those were goals. Not sustainable. Tampa will be ready for game 2

Thing is, I like to call Dallas the softest "tough" team in the league.

They have some hitters but they're not as physical as you often would like. They're very tough in terms of being willing to block shots and fight for pucks but you do see a good bit of players not finishing their checks, and Perry is the worst about this. No one could argue that they're not tough, even tonight they got 50 hits, 25 blocked shots, but they're not as punishing as I'd like them to be. Kiviranta's hit on the first goal and some hits from Jamie Oleksiak were the major exceptions to that today. Very beautiful.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Tampa in 6 but I so hope I’m wrong. Dallas deserves this.

 

[PhoenyX]

Dallas has made one thing clear after tonight--they will not go away quietly. Tampa Bay may win this series, but Dallas is not going down without a fight. Love the mental toughness!

Nothing the Stars do is sustainable. That's why they didn't make it out of the first round, much less to the conference semis, the conference finals, and then the Stanley Cup Finals.

Wait...

They will! Give it a week. It’ll be a miracle if those chumps win 3 games. I know a team of heart and destiny when I see one.

Both teams had lost game 1's in their 2 recent Cup Finals (1999-2000, 2004-2015)

Something HAD to give tonight

You’re right. But my childish response is “he started it!”
