I get why some people don't like some players on the Bolts, I'll be the first to admit that Kucherov comes across as a pretty huge baby or diva sometimes, and I didn't like Hedman's spear a few years ago one bit either, but the organization as a whole is first class, so I'd be happy for them if they won. Also would be happy for Coleman for obvious reasons. Will be interesting to see if Stamkos plays - was cool that he was there and got to come out onto the ice. I was pretty convinced that he wasn't even with the team and was home in Tampa. I don't see how the Bolts don't win this series, it truly looks like it's their year and with all their talent they're finally gonna get another Cup, but Dallas has completely surprised me too by beating the Avs and Golden Knights, so I wouldn't put it past them to make it a competitive series. Khudobin has also been phenomenal. Gonna be a great goalie duel, as it looks like Vasilevsky has firmly planted himself atop the league - the Bolts probably wouldn't be where they are right now without him. I say Bolts in 6, but I just want competitive hockey again to round out the playoffs. It's been a great post-season, all things considered. Congrats, champ! After that series I concluded Kucherov is a douche, he had a nasty slash this year too on someone, Headman is an asshat, and Stamkos is a crybaby. I liked Stamkos before that too, but all he did was whine that whole series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Well folks, just in time for the Final to kick off, I got power back!

I kinda like when it's always hidden and out of sight, not visible until the very end when there's a potentially Cup-winning game at stake.

So having the cup right there looking at them might be the extra motivation they need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) I actually like the Cup there this year, in a normal year? Absolutely not but this year is trash and it makes sense for this bubble tournament since theres no fans there anyway. Dobby had hell of a game tonight, some absolutely fantastic saves.

Devilsfan118 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Pretty sh!thead move by Maroon in that one, shooting the puck into the bench like that. Love seeing Tampa frustrated. I don't see Dallas actually pulling this off if the rest of the games are like this but... I enjoyed seeing Dallas close this one out.

SterioDesign Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 so say the finals get to a game 7. And that Stamkos is cleared to play... Would you put him in? It could be a big boost for the team to get their captain back. But he hasn't played a game in months so that's also tricky. I'd likely put him in in a limited role or something. Could be the best story ever if he's back in and they win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings so much motivation. Like that ONE good decent season we had when we made the playoffs... sure Hall was unreal but i think the whole Boyle thing brought the team together a lot too Edited September 22, 2020 by SterioDesign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
