Bill Meltzer: Quick Hits: Frost, Raffl and More

What a bizarre round for the Conference Finals. I can't root for TB or Wsh. I can't root for Winnipeg b/c of Byfulien..... I guess I'm rooting for history w/Vegas and Bellemare.

So my husband brought up the fact that Tampa Bay is not allowing fans to wear Caps colors in certain areas... Is that normal? Man that would infuriate me to be told I can't wear my team's colors... I know limiting ticket sales to locals and only having a few sold to outside region markets happens a lot but telling me what to wear? Seriously!?!

Hate Byfuglien.
Would rather not see a division rival win.
Like Vegas and it would be an awesome story, but also a bummer that a team that didn't exist a year ago would win a Cup in it's inaugural season and I haven't been alive to see the Flyers win one.
I've gotten over the Lightning stealing what I thought was the Flyers year in 2004.

So give me Tampa vs Vegas.

I would prefer the cup to go to someone who has never won it before and been in the league longer than just this season. So I'd prefer a Jets vs. Caps final tbh.

It's for their own safety.

Although can't imagine another team's city can have any worse fans than Philly

Jets
Vegas
Tampa (barf)
Washington (double barf)

Hey Bill --

(likely related to the accumulated fatigue on his slight frame) as the postseason has progressed.

Still sticking with my assumption you don't think Frost is ready based on his frame..

Not to say it's wrong, either, just my assumption. At any rate, thanks for the work you do for us.

I'm pulling for the Jets. For the eastern conference, I'm rooting for the jumbotron.

The Bulldogs one Games 1 (OT) and 3, while the Greyounds prevailed in Games 2 and 4 (OT).

Ahhhh... never been to St. Louis, I see.

I like OVI but I have an irrational hate the face with Oshie and I can't stand the fans. I like Stamkos but Kunitz and all of the ex Rangers. would be happy for PEB but I'm annoyed that the NHL set up a process that set up an expansion team to not go through the growing pains (and I will feel the same about Seattle). Winnipeg doesn't have anyone I hate, I appreciate the way the team was built and I think the fans are great. Go Peg

I haven't. I still think that if the Flyers didn't take their foot off the pedal in game 2 and would of just demolished Tampa they would of won the series

BaronVonShiznit, hello

I am okay if any of the teams win. Would prefer the Capitals don't just because of their relation to the Flyers, but I like several of their players. #cupinone would give me the most enjoyment, I suspect

Don't get me wrong, I still think the Flyers should have won the series. I'm just over hating Tampa because of that season. Now I just hate the Flyers for it

(frank) tampa

Frank Tampa.

Frank (Las) Vegas (still have no idea why they drop the Las -- Could you imagine the Angeles Kings?)

Frank Washington.

Go Winnipeg. Just to stick it to every other team in Canada. Have the Jets be the pride and joy that brought the cup back Canada--to a city that none of the other fanbases will ever travel to to go see it.

Go Jets. Vegas has James Neal. Enough said.
