Many years ago I bought a Peavy Delta Blues 30 watt tube combo with 15" speaker because that's what Peavy's marketing department paid Prince to say that it's what he played at the time.

FTFY, LLT!
and just messin with ya.
Playing guitar is better than not playing guitar.
Between Tampa having Stamkos & Strallman out...
And Datsyuk making one last run at it,
I thought Tampa would get knocked out fairly easy
Detroit needs to trade one of their good young forwards for defense
Mantha, Tatar, Nyquist... Whoever
They gotta get Kronwall some help back there - jdfitz77
I just think they're super overrated. Datsyuk is old and checked out, and Zetterberg is just old. Z had a bad season, just 50 points a -15 for a player with a career +144 only 13 goals and an atrocious 6.1 shooting %. Datsyuk's wasn't much better, 49 points, but in 66 games, but also had a horrendous shooting % at only 8.8% for a career 14% shooter, but after a 65 point in 63 game season last year it was a huge letdown probably contributing to his desire to go pack up his tent and steal away in the night. They have some good young pieces, but they're not good enough/don't have the experience needed to do any real damage yet; especially against a team that went to the cup finals last year. Just because they always go to the playoffs, barely, doesn't mean they're any good.

All good points
I just figured Detroit would have some better scoring depth with Stamkos out
Tampa outskated them all series long
And Bishop was fantastic
Tampa really needs to figure out if they're gonna re-sign Bishop (UFA after next year), and trade Vasilevskiy... Or lose him in the expansion draft
With Stamkos, Drouin & Bishop all potentially gone this offseason,
Tampa could look a lot different next year

Bishop was unreal last night...stoping 3 breakaways, and making it look very easy while doing so.
If GMTM was involved in that trade, wow did he miss on that one.

Pat Kane is ridiculous
EDIT: and the red wings are pathetic - feetontheair22
I'm still trying to figure out why people think Stamkos would choose the Red Wings ? no disrespect to them and all they have done but, they aren't even close to that good.
