2011 Stanley Cup playoff thread (Vancouver Canucks, Stars, Steelers, Pirates)

[Craziaskowboi]

I'm cheering for Tampa Bay tonight for two reasons:

1. The Lightning are the team that ousted the Penguins, so if they make it to the Stanley Cup Finals, then I'll have leverage to say that the Penguins would have had a chance to make it there had their two best players not been gone for the second half of the season.

2. The Bruins are a sports team from Boston, a city that's been spoiled rotten by championships in the last 10 years. Between that and the fact that many Bruins fans are also Patriots and Red Sox fans -- generally insufferable lots -- I am in no mood to see another Boston sports team challenge for a championship.

All I have to say is WOW!!!

This game lived up to the hype and then some. Both teams poured every ounce of energy into this one and it turned out to be an instant classic.

Looking forward to Canucks/Bruins. Congrats to Boston and Tampa Bay.

I'm so proud of my beloved Bolts. They played great all year. They'll be back next year, with new uniforms too. I'm also proud of the fans and how they showed their support throughout the playoffs. GO Lightning

a very exciting game, really happy to be advancing, I was starting to think the B's would never beat Roloson.

Great Game, Great series.

On to Vancouver

Wow
We are on to the finals.
It takes almost a generation for some teams to make it back to the finals.
This could be one chance in a VERY long time for either team.
I am so looking forward to Wednesday.
Go CANUCKS ! ! !

This was suppose to be a rebuilding year in Tampa. Can't wait to see what the Lightning's new management does in the years to come. I say Canucks in 6
