Well done, B'Hawks!

Tremendous character on that team!

Tampa Bay is very good- the series could certainly have gone either way.  Experience helps a lot, and the Lightening will be more experience in next year's playoffs.  The Hawks will have a tough time dealing with the salary cap, although the emergence of Teravainen is very helpful.

salary cap will be somewhat of a challenge again this offseason for the Hawks....look for bickell and or Versteeg to be in different uniforms next season...and yes, Saad is going to get paid and the hawks will see he remains in CHI

Good win for the Hawks. that game one loss was too costly for the Bolts.

atleast the future is bright in Tampa.

You would think so but nothing is guaranteed.  Just look at last year's Stanley Cup champs (LA Kings) as they didn't even make the playoffs this year. A couple of key injuries and some sub-season performances from a few key guys can close the window really quick.

Nevertheless, it's hard to dislike the Lightning with the notable exceptions of their arrogant condescending prick of a head coach and cheap shot slewfooting Nikita Kucherov. 

Kind of surprising how little flack Steven Stamkos is getting from the national press (especially in Canada) for his disappearance the the Final.  If it was Alexander Ovechkin of the Capitals 'shitting the bed' in the Final, he'd be crucified.

for method:   

Bonefish Grill is the best.

Bang Bang all the way.

Bonefish is good and all, but if I lived down there, I would never eat seafood in a restaurant. Buy it fresh and cook it yourself...

I recieved a 75% discounts at the restaurants for being a corporate office employee...

It was cheaper to eat out everyday then to go to the grocery store... made dating a lot more cost effective as well.
