Mike Isles 583 Posted June 26, 2021 They didn’t play terrible but needed more shots on goal. Really thought they would at least tie for OT. Being optimistic- they have a good team and great coach/management - They can win the Cup first year playing at Belmont UBS arena - I drive past it every day. It looks awesome.

Mike Isles 583 Posted June 26, 2021 Also to lose it on a short handed goal when they didn’t give up a shorty all year hurts too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know but to be in final four two years in a row to lose to the same team sucks. Honestly if they tied it and lost in OT I probably wouldn’t be this upset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I first read this post, I thought you had to be wrong. Then I looked it up. That's incredible. Nashville in '13-'14 did the same in a full season, but 70% of a season is still impressive.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted June 28, 2021 Either a Canadian team will hoist the Stanley cup for the first time since 1993, or a team will repeat as champs in a major 4 sport for the 6th time this century (00-01-02 Lakers, 03-04 Patriots, 09-10 Lakers, 12-13 Heat, 17-18 Warriors) and first time in the NHL this century.

That was horrible defense, total fock up. Bottom line though, they just didn’t get many chances of their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
