Michael Stuart: Stanley. Cup. Champions.

nice

Well Deserved.


Bogosian for Conn Smythe?

Which 2 vets get traded to sign Cirelli and Sergachev??

Congrats to Tampa Bay, coming back from last season's disappointment to win it all. I'm a little surprised Point didn't win the Conn Smythe, but Hedman was my second choice.

Wow, they actually (frank)ing did it. I'm still in shock. Even though the Lightning have looked a step ahead of every team they've played these playoffs, I still had some doubts based on the disappointing losses we've had these past few years. I started watching hockey and following the Lightning a decade ago, and couldn't be more proud to be a fan of the team over that time.

The 2011 playoff run got me hooked, and it's been a blast to see Yzerman transform the Lightning since then. Huge props to him and his masterful job building the supporting foundation to Stamkos and Hedman, along with JBB this year who made some deadline deals that looked like overpayments at the time, but ended up being huge acquisitions. To go out like we did last postseason and turn it around with such a dominant run this year, without Stamkos and after the pause due to Covid … it’s just incredible. Excited to see what JBB does in the offseason, and here’s hoping for a repeat next season

Mike you're our good luck charm, hoping you don't leave us again

As ruthless as it is to say it... I think you move the oft injured Stamkos to clear salary... you just proved you can do it without him...

The answer is Johnson (no big loss) and Killorn (who will be missed), coupled with none of the UFAs coming back.
It feels like this is perfect time to let some more kids have a shot at full time spots

Stammer has a NMC so that's up to him. And the "oft injured" tag is fake news.

Mike, have enjoyed you back blogging for the Lightning, hope you can pull off doing Edmonton and us, or just the lightning. Game 6 was awesome to bad effing nbcsports cut off the cup celebration 1/2 way through. If I wasn’t so cheap to pay for cable I would never watch nbcsports. Bolts!!!!!

I saw that, got pissed, and then switched to the CBC feed. The Canadians know how to cover hockey properly.

Congratulations Tampa Bay Lightning. Stanley Cup Champions!!!!!

Real debate time:

Better Captain?

Lecavalier or Stamkos
