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

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I bet Avs in 6 and I bet Vegas in 6, and I am now betting Tampa in 6, so enjoy your Cup Dallas

(I am surprised at how lopsided the poll is, Dallas has taken out some great competition, even with the Avs on their 3rd goalie). NYI gave the Lightning fits and they beat Boston with their backup, Dallas has certainly had the tougher road.

this is what peak performance looks like.

 

[Kyle McMahon]

I can't remember the last time a team went into the Final as banged up as Tampa. They look totally gassed, and the condensed schedule won't help. I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again, but I think Dallas wins in a short series.

 

[Seras]

Tampa in 4

 

[mrjiggyfly]

Dallas because of the schedule and the attrition

 

[MMANumminen]

Tampa will have mental breakdown and the Stars will shine bright. Perry Benn Seguin Pavelski maybe last chance for these gentle geezers

 

[Hull Fan]

I picked Avs and Vegas both in 6 so the tradition continues. Tampa in six. Go Stars!

 

[Varan]

I want Tampa to win because their playoff exits have been heartbreaking, although idk if they're ready for the moment.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Both these teams have some monstrous humans on the blueline. Like humongous big.

Should be a fun series. Tampa looks super determined this year so I'll say them in 6 but the Stars have some impressive mojo going of their own.

The healthier team is going to win and PP will be a factor in this series. I never thought Dallas will get this far but then I did not know their D core is that good.

Dallas did have some real good bounces in the last two series, so maybe that luck will disappear in the next series.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

If we are to win this thing we have to get production from more then just Heddy and Point.

You know what's really shocking? Vasy has just straight up been flying under the radar no one notices all of these great games he has been having.

 

[CupsOverCash]

I'm not counting on it but would be nice to see Stamkos come back and be a weapon on the pp at the very least.

I'm not counting on it but would be nice to see Stamkos come back and be a weapon on the pp at the very least.

We might as well be waiting for Santa And the Easter bunny to return if we honestly belive be will play in this series.

You know what's really shocking? Vasy has just straight up been flying under the radar no one notices all of these great games he has been having.

Vasy has a 1.82 GAA, .931 sv%, with 0 shutouts, playing every single minute Tampa has played since the return. Those numbers are absolutely asinine for a goalie coming into the stanley cup finals. How no one has talked about this, is crazy.

 

[tellermine]

I love Stars and dont like Tampa but I feel that Stars goaltending will fail in this.
4-1 to Bolts though I hope Stars prove me wrong.

 

[illpucks]

Tampa just isn’t going to be denied this year.

If Stamkos is back, the choke is on.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

I feel like a lot of the series will be determined by Point’s health. He’s really been their top guy all offseason and makes a ton happen on both ends of the ice. With Point hurting and Seguin hurting both teams are going to look at the guys behind them (Cerelli and Hintz) and hope that it’s their moment to shine

 

[Nickmo82]

Tampa will win on a goal that features obvious, egregious goaltender interference that'll go uncalled.

It'll be karmic payback for Brett Hull's left skate.

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

Calling a 4-1 win for Dallas. Tampa's gassed and got injuries to Point and Stamkos.

 

[copperlion]

Tampa will win in game 7 after winning game 6, being saved by a controversial no-goal call

 

[LightningStrikes]

Go


That’s all.

 

[Lartsaman]

Tampa will win most likely. And the reason is simple: They have no finns in their roster.

Martin gelinas is that you?

 

[Vasilevskiy]

If we break through Khudobin early in the series we should win this. Otherwise... It Will be difficult.

Guys looked very tired in the 3rd and OT today
