Start in 20 mins. Tampa Bay have been head and shoulders above everyone in the regular season. Can’t see past them for the Stanley Cup. (Maybe the Capitals in the Eastern Conference Final can give them a game but no one in the West)

Go Flames, Go. I was in Canada over Christmas and they beat Calgary on a shoot-out. Gutted. What chances have the Flames got?
Calgary are the FlamesQuote:

I think you may well be right. They certainly got a wake up call tonight. Maple Leafs play tomorrow - this city is a crazy hockey place, it feels like everything stops when the Leafs are in the play-offs. Sadly I think they’ll get bullied by the BruinsQuote:

Leafs tickets are like Rocking Horse shit. When I hear people complaining about Football ticket prices it always makes me smile... For a half decent ticket at face value at the Leafs you’ll pay $300+ in the regular season and they have 81 home games!!!!Quote:

Went there a couple years ago to watch my Hawks (god they are crap now :facepalm:) play the Maple Leafs, what an unbelievable atmosphere surrounding the arena in bars/during the game in the arena and afterwards... fantastic fan base. Hope one of the Canadian teams can lift it, hopefully Winnipeg, just for the smaller nature of the team.Quote:

1-5 (3-4) Disappointing, a US whitewash!Quote:

Sneeky money on the Islanders
I know - had their chance in game 6. 3Quote:

If Lehner continues as he has in goals then the Islanders have got a great chance now
I went to see the Leafs play the Blue Jackets last game of the regular season 2 years ago. I got a ticket off Stub Hub for 105 US dollars. I bought it ages before, so even though the game was a dead rubber (they had guaranteed the last play off spot a while before), that wasn't known when I bought it. 105 dollars is still a lot of anyones money though, and I can't imagine ever paying that much regularly for anything. I was on holiday though, and it was a must do thing for me.Quote:
