To be fair, while the Habs PK has been fantastic, in the last round you were up against a Steve Spott run PP. On the Sharks forums we always complained about how terrible it was run and someone was telling me they had seen a bunch of complaints about it in the Vegas forums as well. 17.8% PP in the regular season, They went 4 for 43 through 3 rounds of the playoffs (9.3%) Even if we remove the 15 failed PP's against the Habs they were 14.3% through the 1st 2 rounds which is not good. Again, this isn't to take away from the fact that the Habs have done great, they absolutely have.

It's been fantastic but I'd argue that the title of best PK ever should factor in quality of competition and going against a shitty PP costs a few points on that. If you'd qualified it like you did with the Lightning's success rate I probably wouldn't have said anything.

In pretty much any discussion of the greatest of all time people will point out details that might have contributed.

As a Bruins fan, when Bruce was saying the penalty calls were balanced in NY's favor, I was like "yeah, so if they're calling you more, maybe STOP DOING SHIT THAT THEY'LL CALL"

[@maw4734]

His point wasn't that the Bruins were being overpenalized, more that the Islanders were being underpenalized. Two teams were committing the same penalties but only one was getting called for them. Obviously that doesn't change the fact that yeah, they should have committed fewer penalties, as well as several things outside Bruce's control (lack of scoring depth, a defense that's basically McAvoy and five turnover specialists, trainers clearing Tuukka to play with a torn labrum, etc.).

[@neiladlington950]

As somebody from Toronto and in his sixties I know, just like so many other Canadians, Montreal believes they own the Cup and ever other team just leases it for a year or two. They are in fact the Yankees of Hockey and this last gap between Stanley Cup appearance is the longest in their near century long existence.

At this point, as a Habs fan, as long as they show up and actually play hockey like they can, and Tampa wins the series, I will be fine with it. Tampa is a stacked team, and (ugh) well coached (as in their coach can make adjustments). They really should not lose. That said, play the games.

Since Super Bowl 54 between the Chiefs and the 49ers, the only time a Tampa team has not appeared in the league championship of one of the 4 major sports teams is in the NBA finals. Tampa Bay does not have an NBA team

[@wittylibrarian]

@Matt Joseph Tampa Bay sports fan here. I'm not sure if our fanbase is into basketball much. The team would have to either share an arena with the Lightning (which isn't good for scheduling issues between leagues, for one thing) or build a new arena (and there's not a lot of room left where they can do that). Orlando is too close to our market anyways, the Magic would veto any expansion effort here.

[@buzzardf3818]

Man I love playoff hockey hopefully next year we can have full arenas right from the get go. Nassau was the loudest I've heard it in my life only the Game 1 at MSG (before the Knicks lost) could match that volume. Wish the Islanders were in the cup.
