My Mother-in-law spends the majority of the hockey season in Tampa.  She's great, but sorry fella's, that's just not workable.

Also Minnesota is indefensible. Fanbase is amazing, team is quite good.

There is no way, less than 24 hours after breaking the Boudreau curse, I'm going anywhere near that guy.

Fuckin' Kunitz. I miss that guy....

[DeathFromAbove1979]

What did this planet do to deserve seeing the Pens in another SC final. Come on.

I'd, somehow, rather watch Cavs/Warriors AGAIN.

I would have rather not made the playoffs then have to endure this, in Northern, CA no less.

I suspect that many Anaheim players will be available to the league after Wednesday.

A sweep would just be too easy for Caps fans.  Almost letting us off easy.  This isn't over yet.  They will give us hope before devastating us in the most heartbreaking way possible.

I still agree with this, but it's nice to have at least one monkey off your back...
