Anyone watching? These two teams are really amazing. If you want to see hockey played at the highest level, this series is worth a look.

I would like to root for the Hawks, but I have been a Blues fan too long to do so. The Blues are to the Hawks like the Cubs are to the Cardinals: They are great rivals, but you know who is going to break your heart in the end. I will take the Lightning in seven!

Yup I'm watching.. These guys are fighting full bore.. Great game to watch thus far

Hawks in 6

That first Lightning goal was crazy!

The games so far have certainly been exciting. I love the speed and skill both teams play with. Chicago just doesn't quit. Come on TB!

Another great game!

Another great game!

 

Very exciting game. Almost as exciting as

when I was a kid and a hockey nut watching

my NY Islanders win 5 cups in a row!

The way our Blues choke in the playoffs is worth a thread in and of itself.  

Any one see this? I hate this with a passion. I am guessing he can't grow a manly beard,or If he can grow one. I am sure he has to bee clean shaven. Becasue of office rules. I think hes just mad he can't have a beard, and wants other people to suffer.

He's a bean counter. He may also have them using plastic sticks so as not to damage their "young, attractive" faces which might hurt the bottom line. Lord save us from bean counters.

He may also have them using plastic sticks

He won't have to ask that. Most are all ready a composite of some sort.

I don't believe there any other players left in the NHL who don't use "composite" sticks besides the goalies. Composite is just graphite, just like our rods. Goalies use what they call "foam core" which is usually a wooden shaft amd then the paddle is a dense foam and sometimes wood mixture laminated with fiberglass.

The game last night was sure fun to watch, regardless of stick material or beards!

Good Series so far.

 

And it's some what more "Fun" to watch when I'm not actually a fan of either team.

 

Am pulling for TB though -

I just can't believe it's June and they're still playing hockey.

I know - it's like MLB still going in November ~

 

Not much of an Off-Season ahead for either team.

Its all about the money. When I was a kid following hockey the Playoffs were over when there was still snow on the ground in MA.

They can go play golf now. Chicago played like champions and earned the Cup. Great series.
