GAME FUCKIN DAY

lol, feels like forever, cant wait for 8 pm.

All the hockey "experts" have been saying the lightning are the better team and will win. Well, let them keep saying that. They're giving no credit to our second and third line talent. They said we would lose to the Flyers and look what happened. So keep picking against us Melrose, Barnaby (have fun in jail), and you schmucks on NHL network. History will be made!!!!!

 

[sportfan09]

best of luck to both teams well deserved to be there.....fuck you both lol

Really? The way I see it, the Lighting are huge underdogs. Deeper, more hungry, better goalie, better defense, more physical, etc. The Lighting have the edge in elite scoring and coaching, though.

I know Melrose picked TB, maybe Barnaby also, as well as at least on "expert" on the NHL network. I know Melrose says whoever wins the west will win the cup (he's picking the Canucks). Two people on the NHL network have picked the Sharks.

Fuck predictions... and fuck analysts. LETS GO BRUINS!

 

[MrMagooo]

I am glad they are picking the Lightning. On Fox there hockey "expert" picked Philly in 5 against the Bruins.

LETS DROP A TEN TON HAMMER ON THESE BITCHES FROM FLORIDA!

It's funny I totally forgot this would be the Lightning 2nd Stanley Cup if they were to win it all this year. Considering all the teams that have been in the league a lot longer & have never won, it would be quite impressive.

Chara and Boychuk are going to have their hands full with the Stamkos line. Without Bergeron, I'm curious which forwards Julien will try to match up against them.

The Bruins haven't seen two of their lines for Game 1 against Tampa Bay in action yet. In the wake of the injury to Bergeron, Chris Kelly has been moved to center the second line and Tyler Seguin has been Inserted as the third-line right wing, moving Michael Ryder to the left side. The lines have looked good in practice, but nobody knows how they will perform in game conditions.

Beware of the Bergenheim, Downie, Purcell line. They've been putting up more points than the Lightning's top 2 lines.

Thanks, bro. Kelly and Peverly might do OK in a shut down role, but I'm not a fan of Recchi trying it. Waaaaay too slow of foot.
