Tampa is going to be the next Chicago. Of their core players, only Filppula is only 30 and they have everybody signed until at least next season. According to NHLnumbers, they currently have 6.7 million in cap space as well.

Not sure if TB threw the game away or Chicago stole that game...... Chicago is good and all but I feel that TB turtling with a 1 goal lead was a really bad idea especially against a team like Chicago with all the offensive weapons they have, Great defensive game though

I hate when any team sits back on a 1 goal lead but is especially not smart against a team like Chicago. TB did play well for most of that game, but they def threw it at the end. Was a pretty big implosion late game by them, yes Chicago started to play better as well but a lot of sloppy turnovers and bad decisions led to them losing in the third.

I only watched the second, and it was a sloppy period too, so many turnovers, missed passes, missed shots

Doesn't sound like it. Coach's press conference made it sound like he's going to be questionable for at least game 3 if not longer.

He was tripped. Only Ovechkin can score while getting tripped like that.

I was a bit actually. My family agrees in prediction for the most part, and our predictions ranged from Chicago in 6 to Tampa in 7. Tampa is doing better than we had expected, which most of us are pretty happy about. However, if Kane and Sharp start picking up weight, and Crawford stops having weak games this series should turn one-sided.

All I can think of is how dominant this Blackhawks team would be with a top-tier goaltender, like Price or Lundqvist.

Jack Eichel and a couple other major prospects were on Coach's Corner recently. Eichel told Cherry he had a gift for him, and gave him a US Hockey polo, and thanked him for all the team USA support
