I'm sure most have thought about this and apologies if it's already been discussed, but what would the sight of Stevie Y lifting the cup up not surrounded by red do for you?

I'm thinking I'll ugly cry into a Bud Light Lime.

I feel fairly certain that Stevie won't lift the Cup on the ice when they win. He probably won't even join them on the ice.

It's just his way. He didn't in '08. Said he wanted the players to have all the spotlight or something like that.

We'll see.

It's a different situation this time around. In 08 he was still with the team he played for and was adored for. He didn't want to distract from the players that were still playing and won it. And he wasn't the GM.

Now he's with a different franchise and this is a team he's been assembling for years. I'd guess he'd like to celebrate like any other GM would.

I can't remember seeing so much lop-sided luck in a long time. Crawford turns the puck over and his punishment is Kucherov gets injured. Then he plays the puck in the no-zone and instead of giving away a penalty Bishop makes a mistake and Chicago scores. Wow!

This is a test for Tampa.

Agreed. I hate the Hawks. But I give them full credit. You don't win 3 Cups in 6 years by being just lucky.

Exactly. As much as I hate the Hawks, they are really frickin good. Gotta give them credit because winning it all in the NHL nowadays is tough with teams being so evenly matched and to do it three times in six years is quite impressive.

I still think their fans are the scum of the earth, though.

If Stamkos is one of the best players in the world, he hasn't looked like it. You can't disappear in two of four playoff series in the playoffs and be one of the best in the world. .

And that little ***** boy Tyler Johnson hasn't been scoring much since the first several rounds.

To be fair, it's very obvious Johnson's injured. He's taken one draw in the last 4 games I think. Before that, he'd never played a game without taking a faceoff. He's their #2 faceoff guy and can't take a draw. Something's wrong. That's the playoffs. They look to be falling apart in health like the 2009 Red Wings.

Yep been checking this out, he has a wrist damage of some kind and is rendered ineffective. That kind of guy is nothing without his (excellent) wrists. Might aswell be the waterboy would have been better for the team.

With this in mind I pondered playing the Hawks moneyline but backed out. Bad move but the angle wasn't sharp enough.

Your hate of chicago is pathetic

Why because it's true?

Michael Leighton..... I don't need to say anything

Tuuka Rask- backup till Thomas quit

Bishop- good goalie, but he was a backup for the most part

While Mrazek was a backup it's not like he's been a backup forever, he's what, 22?

And besides we all know he's better than Jimmy ;)

Its true because you say it is? Great logic. Lol I get that you're jealous of the Hawks. But it's ridiculous how you can attribute their success to luck and facing so called backup goalies. Bias can paint an ugly picture sometimes.
