Wait .. so Jack Johnson was a dud with the Rangers and sucked but yet he’s in Colorado and playing in the cup final a year later
Point being back is big for TB. Winning 3 in a row would be very impressive. Unheard of in today’s sports.
CO. Fuck TB. The only reason why old balls Johnson is out there is because Sam Girard had his chest caved in in the first round.
That being said....awesome game 1. Going to OT. Will be interesting to see who from TB scores the GWG because we all know they are winning this game.
Great game, very entertaining. It looks like Colrado avoided the rust that plagued Cooper's Bolts. I hope the NHL gets good ratings.
Tied late in game 4...aside from goaltending its pretty clear to me both of these teams are at least a step and a half better than the Rangers.
I never knew that a player is free to swing away and knock off a goalie's helmet as long as the puck is in the general vicinity. Listening to the crack announcing staff scream that his helmet just popped off and nothing else to see here had to be enlightening for Avs fans.
LMAO at Cooper whining about the officials when the officials have helped them make it this far with swallowing whistles against them. And Cooper should lose all respect from EVERY hockey fan for complaining about how hard it is to win with a salary cap when the Lightning CLEARLY used a salary cap loophole last year to win the Cup. Fuck out of here. I hope Tampa totally implodes and goes back to their late 90s teams where they were totally irrelevant. To whine about the salary cap when your team basically cheated to win last year is a fucking joke.
I think all of the above is true. I cannot stand Cooper, he is a whiny B who rarely gives credit where credit is due. Always some internal BS why they lose, or get beat. He is a bit much. Last night was way over the top with his "show" postgame. With that said, guy has proven to be a great coach and the results cannot be ignored. Just about any team would be happy to have him as their coach.
