Matt Ross: The Date Is Set

Craziest fact of them all, possibly
FL lost game 1 in Boston...
they haven’t lost a road game since. Going 8-0, with 5(?) of the wins coming in OT.
Lunacy

Holy fack this is a long time to wait.... Bettman's plan to cool Bob down. Boo

The 2007 Ottawa Senators hope you enjoy your rest.

Practice Practice Practice... hope Bob doesn't lose his edge.

We could have beat Carolina 2 or 3 more times while we're waiting.

Go Panthers!

Vegas, baby

Zito has made some grade additions to this team.
Free agents signings that are a huge part of their success in Verhaeghe and Gudas, Lomberg
Finding gems on the waiver wire like Forsling and Mahura.
The trades for Hornqvist, Montour, Bennett, Rhino, and of course the biggest of all, making the deal for Tkachuk.

Interesting that during his first draft, Zito moved back in the 5th round, swapping 5ths with Toronto to pick up a 7th round pick. That pick became Devon Levi.
The big piece of the trade that brought Rhino to FL. Rhino scores the Game 3 OT gwg vs the Leafs. And now Levi appears ready to help Buffalo become a much bigger thorn sticking in the Leafs, as well. Another of the occasional examples of a not so inconsequential 7th round pick.

I thought they had originally announced May 31st as game 1.

I think that was scenario if Vegas swept, or maybe even had won game 5. Soon as it went 6, they announced June 3.

the waiting is the hardest part

also god damnit Vegas looked really damn good last night. We avoid getting backstabbed by marchment but now we get double stabbed by Smith and Marchessault

I liked Boston. You beat them. Then You beat the leafs and Carolina. This is your year hopefully. Take down Vegas hard. Go after stone Barby marchesault and Petro come on panthers. I remember watching the finals in 96. I didnt want Colorado. I was in Houston for my dad’s business trip. Only way I could watch the series

Yep get it done FLA. Be nice to see Gary's gifted team be red carpet for a franchise's first cup again. Having said that FLA hasn't seen a 4 line attack like VGK yet...so will be interesting to see how Gary's refs call it once play gets chippy.

While we’re waiting...
