Maybe if they manage to make it 5-3...now it's fruitless.


Why not, though? That's the best way to make it 5-3

Dallas really should have pulled Oettinger ... why teams don't pull their goalie down 3 doesn't make sense to me ... and it's the Stanley Cup Final.

Someone give me a good reason to not pull your goalie down 3 in a Stanley Cup Final game.

Based on how sucky their offense have been that'd have only given TB a 6-2 goal...

But who cares what score you lose by? They all count the same.

I think Wes McCauley calls the game he thinks he's about to see rather than the one that's infront of him. He's made questionable calls in the past to make a game a spectacle. Tonight Benn got a misconduct because the game "could" get out of hand and the Stars' chance of coming back into it plummeted.

I mean, they were leading 5-1. No reason to play him. Better rest him, cuz he is definitely not 100%. Rough back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday, so...

It was 2-1 to begin the 2nd, though ... I didn't expect him to play much, but I'm surprised he didn't even play 1 shift after the first period.

He came out for a skate and didn't look good. Id be surprised if he plays Friday. Maybe Saturday if they get they win Friday.

Rutta has been great back from injury. Bogo still in the dog house after game 1.

If TB plays overconfident/arrogant hockey, then Stars have a chance.

Just by their material, TB has a clear edge.

Well, Khudobin has been amazing all playoff, and they have a good team overall IMO ... I think Tampa Bay wins but it still very well could go either way.

Not finishing plays to a T, not making a full commitment to skating, avoiding hits in order to not get injuries, taking stupid penalties and in general being sloppy etc. Those kind of plays reeks of arrogance and overconfidence.

That's probably a good thing because they're your second favourite team.

For now, they're nothing but an enemy. An obstacle before the ultimate victory.

Lol that sounded way too biblical.
