The guy was from Perth in Australia!

I hate it. I realize the majority think he's done a bad job but I think this "tradition" hurts the cup presentation. It might be unpopular opinion but it just seems a little immature to me.

Congratulations LGW, you have all worked so hard for this moment. Enjoy! :clap:

Disappointing result but a highly entertaining game. Both teams look like easy pickings for Vancouver or San Jose right now.

Should the play have been stopped there? I thought a helmet less goal tender was an instant whistle.

Game on!

Rocket from Stamkos

6-3 4 points for Seguin. I want the Bolts to win but I don't mind watching players put on a show like this one. Outstanding from Seguin.

Ryder. 5-3 Seguin with the assist and a three point night.

Blown chance

5-Hole! Tampa going back to the PP

Wow, Seguin making the coaching staff look a little silly for not playing him earlier! ..Malone never looked like scoring.

C'mon Bolts!

Apparently Tampa Bay are the first team in post season history to score in the first 15 seconds and last 15 seconds of a period. WOW beautiful from seguin 2-2

St Louis! 2-1 That was creative. Puck deflected off Boychuck

Tampa PP coming up. Another weak call too. Makeup I guess.

2 very soft calls for the 5 on 3. Tampa shutdown a lengthy 5 on 3. Roloson is shutting the door so far. Spoke too soon. 1-1

Based on what I have seen these last 2 series, Niemi is a better goalie than what people give him credit for.

Wow I am shocked. This is very sad. Such terrible news. Much too young

We could be relocating to Winnipeg.

Yes first and foremost, although I wouldn't mind a Boston win either. Even Vancouver would be deserving. What I'm saying is...I don't want the sharks to win

I don't want him to have the C. Not that I don't think he would be deserving, I just think he is a player who would shy away from the added attention. I think Datsyuk likes going under the radar. Just let him play his natural game if you know what I mean.

Well said. Datsyuk is amazing, I feel lucky just to be a fan of hockey during his career. Hard to believe he was once called a playoff "choker"

This might sound really crazy but if Nick retires we are going to need a new solid #1 D-man as I don't think any of our current players can fill the hole that will be left by Lidstrom. If that's the case would anyone consider using Franzen with Hudler as trade bait? Don't get me wrong I love the mule, but he is constantly injured and has been floating a lot more than he's been scoring since he signed that mega contract. If he keeps going the way he's going, that contract will be a bit of a burden. It's ridiculously long for someone who misses so many games through injury. I doubt the Wings would ever trade him and even if we did, we'd probably need to go after another forward because he is such a big part of our depth. Just a thought.

Amazing series by Howard. Datsyuk was our best player in the playoffs but Howard wasn't far behind.
