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

I think the confusion is you saying this team reminds you of that.

As I clearly stated ("whoops I was not clear in my post" ) was my follow up response Sherlock.


Still confused ?

That wax a great hit on Comeau. Who through that? McDonough?

Tbh, I didn't mind any of the hits...

 

[jcs0218]

Im expecting one of the two teams to win today.

Do you think there will be excuses made by the losing team?

The refs are definitely going to screw over <insert future losing team here>, and some questionable hits on either are going to be made out to be near murder by neutral fans.

Did I get all of that right?

I don’t know why, but the famous Waterboy quote, “Last [series] of the year, Brent, can’t hold anything back now” keeps popping into my mind. Let’s go Stammer! At the very least he can be a PP decoy.

Could you image if Stammer played and was destroyed by a hard clean hit? Lightning fans would be rioting.

Bigger chance he would blow out his own groin skating than Dallas player throwing a clean hit.

Maybe Maroon fires a puck on purpose to the face of a lightning player standing on the bench. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Really? We're kind of used to being without him in the playoffs. I don't think there would be any rioting.

I'd be more concerned with Cogliano's ankles if Stamkos comes back.

But you have to leave it all on the line, right? Money is not an issue in his case. And you play to win the Stanley Cup. So long as he gets to a level of health where he does not hurt his team and adds value, I cannot imagine he forgoes the opportunity - even if that risks reinjury. Note, too, everyone is playing hurt right now.

I'd be upset for him, but we'd just be right back where we were anyways.

One of my favorite moments from last season!!!!

Lightning outclassed Chicago in game 3 in 2015. I remember everyone talking about how dominating they looked. Went up 2-1. And then....we know what happened.

This series is far from over.

Ironically, the year Tampa won the Cup, they were down 2-1

2 more wins by Tampa and bubble hockey corona cup is finally over.

Tampa wasn't the better team in 2015, 2020 we definitely are. Also 2015 bolts and 2020 Bolts are nothing alike.

Ironically, the year Tampa won the Cup, they were down 2-1

They were trailing in the series on three seperate occasions. Won game 6 & 7. Pretty impressive.

 

[Iapyi]

It is SO REFRESHING to watch some physical hockey. It's about time we saw some hitting again. SO REFRESHING!!!

 

[D Wakaluk]

Just give me one game without gifting an easy lead to Tampa in the first 10mins or so. So many self inflicted wounds again.

 

[flying squirrel]

Lightning have been up
2-1 in 2015 Cup finals
3-2 in 2016 ECF finals
3-2 in 2018 ECF finals

Great win tonight but this Lightning bunch would be the 1st to tell ya, they haven't won jack yet............

Go Lightning !!!!!!

I see what your doing here but comparing these two lightning squads was your first mistake.
