Franson was able to get his shot on net which was a good thing and the only thing I remember

If Tavares chose somewhere else away from Toronto he’d be playing in eastern final...

Wonder how he’s feeling.

And maybe Lou knows a thing or two about building a winning team... Of course it starts with attitudes and culture.

Lou didn't really do anything with the Isles. All their top guys are Garth Snow draft picks. Only thing Lou did was hire Trotz, sign Komarov for too much and brought back Martin to play on what was considered the best 4th line before he even got there.

4-1 Tampa

Yeah I just think a lot of the success is more from Trotz.

Course so far tonight it aint goin so well. Wnder if Lou sacks the coach and takes over himself?!🤣

For sure it is Trotz. He was able to get everyone to buy in.

I would like to see what Keefe actually does next season. If Dubas does go out and get him the pieces can he get the guys to figure it out? Does he have a system? If he did, why didn't he start using it when he came? I think it'll have to be defenders who can hold the puck and transition it well. We are going to be disappointed thinking we'll get bigger and meaner when we won't.

Oh stop it we all know that the no long hair facial hair thing is a big part of success.

And I bet their players call their coach "coach" or trotz, and not Barry.

These are keys to victory.

Matthews would've scored 60 if he didn't have that stupid stache.

As a team. The actual d corp and goaltending definitely favors Tampa. I think really most aspects do. I think the Isles getting here was more they as a team over ame shortcomings to this point but this is more of a mismatch

Shame couldnt get Gallant to accept an assistant spot. Good with younger players and sustems
