Wow, totally different than the first 26 minutes of the game. Tampa dominates and cant get anything, Chicago takes control for 20 seconds and put one in.

I can see why the Bolts like playing for Cooper. Seems like a smart and straightforward dude. This team should be fun for a long time.

Shaw seems like a slightly more talented Marchand to me, I could have that backwards though
I would say Shaw is a stronger Marchand with less offensive skill.  Really the only player on CHI that I can't stand.  Much like Marchand he doesn't have to do any of the ancillary stuff he does to be a very good NHL player.  There isn't a single Marchand/Shaw on TB, just such an easy team to root for.

I can see this, though I don't hate him, I actually think he is entertaining.

It's a weird feeling to always be cheering for the team that is behind in the series because I want 7 games so bad.

This goalie is well below average, shame if TB loses because Bishop is done.  CHI does have amazing health luck in the playoffs.

Brian Boyle's becoming a PK specialist and not much more.
 
What has he ever been besides that?  He is a big, hustle guy, never had the physical skill to be anything more.
That would be like complaining Shawn Thornton isn't a goal scorer.  Some guys just have limitations beyond their control, not for lack of effort.
