commentary...

i have to comment on the game last night,between the Blackhawks,and the Lightning,because it was a very good series,between two very good teams... do you know that the only two goal lead,in the entire series was in the third period last night,when the Blackhawks went up 2-0,in game six??? there was an article on the internet saying that the Blackhawks were winning the series by the slimmest margins... until last night,goal differential between both teams was one goal,11-10,in favor of the Blackhawks... Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop,reportedly,tore a groin muscle,in game two,and still played in three of the four remaining games... one tough guy... he wanted to win so bad... for Steven Stamkos,the second leading goal scorer,in the NHL,during the season,he had seven goals in the playoffs,but did not have a goal,against the Red Wings(first round),and the Blackhawks(Stanley Cup Finals)... is that odd,or not,folks??? highest scoring team in the NHL,during the season,the Lightning scored only ten goals,in the series,and only one goal,in game five,and game six... simply amazing!!!!! Stamkos got it right,when he said,"you can not win,when you can not score",after game six... the Blackhawks also had their troubles scoring in the series,because the Lightning played a very good series,but had too many players who simply refused to lose,and played great team defense,especially,on Stamkos,because he only had one assist on only thirteen shots,in six games... for a guy who scored forty three goals,in the regular season,he never got a sniff of scoring a goal... the main trouble with the Lightning and their team offense was that it goes through Stamkos,and the Blackhawks played near-perfect team defense on the Lightning's main cog,and when Stamkos did not score,the Lightning were in major trouble,after game three,with a game,but injured,goaltender,and absentee scorer,in Stamkos,and no one picked up the scoring slack,for the Lightning... the Blackhawks scored just enough goals to beat the Lightning,and they shut down the Lightning,at critical times,in the last two games,and that is the reason that the Blackhawks are Stanley Cup Champions...
