That's an absurd assertion, and again, I corrected you. Zuccarello was the only player out with a significant injury. Your team doc either couldn't freeze McDonaugh's foot, or he refused treatment. On them.

And again the rest of this is laughable. Stahl's "hairline fracture" occurred before the playoffs even started. Hairline fractures and grade 1 sprains are part and parcel of this game when you get this far. So while you want to think you are stating facts, in reality you are just stating sour grapes.

And I'll "chime in" anytime I feel the need to diffuse bullsh1t. Which was the case here - no insecurity, at all.

This is classic - the Mayor of the murder capital of the US apparently has more concern over other teams ticket policies than he is the fact the he governs a war zone.

Maybe utilize your resources to make sure your town doesn't look like a scene from Mad Max before wasting it on unfair ticket practices...lol

Maybe if TB fans actually went to the game and cared instead of taking the money grab, it wouldn't be an issue..

Alright...trash talking aside..how about a little wager..Loser sends $100 to Steve for a Horse Rescue donation..Sound good?

It's simple, we call out pussies when we see them. I think you'll be surprised with the Chicago presence despite your 'policies'.

BTW your seats on the glass are going for $5K a pop. Here in Chicago they're $15K a pop. So a Chicago fan can spend a thousand on flight, hotel and food and save $9K by sitting in Tampa or better yet $18K for 2 games.

Steve, trust me when I tell you - nobody gives two flying sh1ts whether a handful of brain-dead mutants show up here. There are already a ton of them who have realized what a sh1thole Chicago is and never went back. They're easy to recognize - they are the first ones to have an opinion about fan support for the local teams, yet have lived here for 20 years and have never supported any of them once.

Bob, I'll make a donation to Thoroughbred Retirement of Tampa http://www.tampatrot.org/ after the series, regardless of who wins.

I only bet Tom because I felt we had a decided advantage against the Rangers.

I know nothing about the Blackhawks, other than what I've seen in the last series.

That said, Crawford is shakier than Lundqvist, and they're not nearly as physical as the Rangers.

So, logic would seem to dictate that this will be a walk over for the Lightning - but as we all know - it's a different animal in the finals...

Perfectly confident in this team, and look forward to a hard-fought battle.

Crawford will be fine...He's won a Cup and has played outstanding other that Nashvile game..which was a looong time ago. It will be a fast series for sure and after the pounding from Anaheim, the Hawks will be able to play more open. Keys that make it Hawks in 6:

1) Coaching..Q gets nod over pretty much anyone you could throw out there.

2) Core D: The big 4 can play the Big minutes again without the physicality they got from Anaheim.

3) Been there, done that: Nice TB wins in MSG, but this is the Finals and Chicago has that intangible that won't let them lose 4 games.

4) 3rd and 4th lines: Triplets and Stamkos line awesome, but can't roll 3 and 4 as strongly.

How TB wins?

1) Special Teams: Chicago PP comes and goes in maddening fashion and although their PK is solid, TB has Stamkos and a great PP and Chicago loves taking Too Many Men on Ice penalties.

2) Injuries: Obvious, and Chicago could absorb any Forward, but if another D goes down, it would be a series changer.

Most recognize hyperbole when they see it - sorry it missed you.

The 10 million people that visit here each year must be huge fans of dumpy, no good beaches. Apparently. Along with the 10's of thousands of Chicagoans that visit and then move here permanently.

TB won a ton of face offs and had great sticks...plus one of the best tip ins ever. Crawford with the big break away save and then Teuvo takes over. I really don't see how TB wins 4 out of 6

[Rudeboyelvis]

I'd retweet all of the chest thumping and cock slinging from when the Rangers dribbled a lucky bounce to win game 1 from the last series...but why bother. You clearly have your hands full boys. You get schooled in game 2, then swept in Sh1t-own....err...Chi-town...my bad

Lucky goal?...you had a great push in the first but not much after that. No chest bumping, but TB threw it all in and then became a turtle. I'M sorry......you really think you can win 4 out of 6 against these guys?

If someone was just shown stats, theyd be forgiven for assuming tam won. Led in faceoffs, shots, hits....but to no avail. Nice won by chi, who kept grinding.
