The Lightning are such a good franchise.

Is a Canadian team ever going to win again? By math they should be good for one every 4.5 years or so but it is now 28 years and counting, with the Oilers and Flames both getting pushed to the max in series you thought would be a little easier.

It's so impressive that not only do they keep losing these series but almost every one they've either had a lead in the series or a lead in game 7, or both, and still managed to pull it off

Gutsy performance by the Bolts with Point out. Vas coming up big and an experienced team just choking the life out of the Leafs when it got to crunch time.

In a couple of months, there will be thousands of adult Ontarians who have never seen the Laffs win a playoff series.

LOL large New Yorker flipping everyone off yelling "Fuck you" over and over after his team scores a goal is certainly playing into the stereotype.

Doesn't seem like either of these teams are really going to contend for the cup but the Rangers did have a better chance, (before this game was over) in my opinion.

Time for the Pens to really go nuclear on the roster and coaching staff. Can't get out of round one anymore, too many old/injured guys, blew leads in game 5, game 6, and game 7, and ultimately the series. Been a hell of a run for a decade and a half but it's over.

Crosby trade a la Wayne to St Louis in the cards?
