Ek, you also went 3 for 8 in the play-in round, including 0 for 4 in the West. So your overall record is 13-9.

This is the first time I've heard of the "counter-attack factor" . I noticed Columbus and NYI were the "counter-attack team" against Tampa and that didn't work. Arizona's counter-attack didn't work against Nashville. Oh well.

I would also add the revenge factor. Tampa is looking for revenge from previous playoff defeats. Tampa also has home ice for piped-in music and fan noise.

I don’t care who wins. I just want it to be over. Hockey in the summer is tough to justify watching, even for a religious fan. Hand the Cup to Tampa, give the Conn Smyth to Stamkos (because nothing in 2020 follows logic), and move towards the draft so I can see what the Jets are going to do. I want DeMelo back on D, and a top-4 UFA (not pricey Pietrangelo). Then move on to the center issue, and put to rest the rumours that Laine/Ehlers are available. We need a Center between them! Ehlers is fantastic value, and Laine only moves next offseason if he’s getting too greedy. If Stastny is available again, maybe that comes back to the forefront.

Anyhow, let’s see Tampa finish it off quickly. Maybe 5 games.

Couldn't agree more. I love hockey but this is just stupid and now we hear that next season might not start until January...what a flipping joke. Hockey is a winter sport, not a summer one...are you listening Bettman?????

Hey Eklund you are a complete moron and can't do math. You had the Flames beating Dallas in 7 games in the first round for you're prediction. By the way Lightning will win in 6.

So Eklund is a moron for making a pick be it right or wrong, then you literally make a pick yourself and somehow you aren't a moron?

The logic center of your brain is in serious need of repair

Burnt-juice, just stop watching and keep your thoughts to yourself for gods sake. If you love you hockey like I do it does not matter what time of the year it is.

Your not a very good fan at all, if you actually loved the game it would not matter. Millions of people are enjoying this hockey in trying times. If your team is out your season is over I guess.

19 shots and they win 4-1. Looks like Dallas will bore their way to a SC.

Why are you even playing around on HB if you don't care. Why don't you just go away and stop your female doging.

Agree with Dallas in 6 - they seem to have more intensity and play with poise and a will to win. And maybe with the exception of Boston Dallas has beat better teams up get here.

I think you will see a different TB team next game. The Islanders put them through hell and then only one day off. If they don't come back they may be physically and mentally too beat up. I predict 7 games and I could not tell ya who is going to win.

That seriously the best you are able to come up with?

So when presented with the truth, and the truth can't be escaped, that's your answer?
Cool man. I bet you really do well at life

Watch the game. Dallas was dominant for two periods and then defended the lead

- DutchSenators


Which two periods are you talking about?

You including the first one where it was shots 4-3 and it was 1-1?
Or the 3rd period where Stars were outshot 22-2?

Saw a trade pop up on Twitter but can't find it to confirm - big pieces Domi and Caufield for Saad and Seabrook. Some spare parts included and salary dumps (Alzner) Will be interesting if true.
