As expected, it was one of those plays where whatever was called on the field was gonna stand.

Stars are winning the Cup.

I regret to inform the rest of the league that Jake Oettinger is fully back.

I wouldn't take SGA just on principle because of that friggin' commercial.

And the next one against Colorado could be just as good, if not better. West is best. The Central, in particular.

I don't mind him (his seatmates are the only ones whose opinion matters here), but if you stop giving glass-banger guy the attention he so desperately craves, he'll go away.

One of the most genuinely human and likable players in the league. The NHL should be marketing the bejeezus out of him.

That's the right call. I do think Pietrangelo was challenging Seguin to a duel, though.

4-1 Rockford now — think that was a redirected point shot, but Griffins are going to need a whole lot to battle back again now down 3 with just over 15 to go

Rockford strikes again early in the second, 3-1 now

The Lightning want to keep Steven Stamkos in Tampa.
