So much for "The original 6" being the only draw in the sport.

Of course I wished it would have ended a little differently - but nothing but proud of the effort and the grit my team played with and can't wait for next year.

The last thing I'm going to do is complain about how unfair it was that a chunk of our key players got hurt. Chicago won it, on the square - their fans should be very proud - helluva team they've got.

Get real man. You were THE obnoxious loudmouth all throughout the playoffs and turned off a lot of people with your gasbaggery. But now that your team was finally bounced like they should've been in the first round, you wanna act like you've been the humble guy just rootin' for a hard-fought series all along and are APPALLED that anybody would take pleasure in the Lightning losing.

Don't dish it out if you can't take it. The Lightning have a great team and I've said so this whole time. But your coach is a colossal douche, your radio play-by-play guy has the most grating celebration voice this side of John Sterling and your arena has to resort to a restrictive jersey policy and still ends up with 50% opposing fans at every game. Without even mentioning the players, it's a supremely annoying franchise that I know I'll have to deal with in the playoffs the next few years, so don't clutch your pearls when I take some delight in your defeat.

The only people I "turned off" were myopic Ranger fans that didn't want to believe their team was inferior to the Lightning - and kept running their mouths even when they were getting beat down.

Post script - They still are inferior to the Lightning and likely will be for a long, long time.

Also pointed out that I don't give a flying rats asz what anyone - not from here - thinks about this city, it's fan base, or how much disposable income people that don't reside in a large market are will to part with to attend a game.

Senseless drivel that a few butt hurt Ranger fans felt the need to resort to when reality bitch slapped them across the face. It was really kinda funny.

So again, if sticking up for this team and this area in the face of a barrage of insults from RANGAAAH trolls makes me a "loudmouth", then guilty as charged. I really could not possibly care any less.

Wow...LOL...Truly sorry you can't get over it.

Yeah you're such a crusader. Totally not just a preening clown who made everyone hate him the last few months because he's painfully insecure about his city and team. Right on Dan.

Maybe Bishop can borrow American Pharoah's ear plugs next year. Or the owner can ban cheering as well as opposing team's jerseys.

I just want to add that I have never been a hockey fan or watched games on TV.....but I did watch the Cup games when my freakin cable (comcast sucks) was working, I missed game 4. My son and I watched game 3 on the road travelling, nice bonding moment . Now I must admit, I wished it would have gone to Game 7 so I could have watched just one more game before it was over.....I think the NHL just gained a new fan, me......not sure if I will ever be a one team supporter but I will be a fan......and like horse racing, all the comments and opinions I read here help me to pay attention and learn a little each time I watched a game. I cant wait until next season starts!

i'm not a rangers fan....oh, wait...

according to you, i'm not a fan at all.
at any rate, i'm sorry you guys lost. it's not a great feeling to be so close and have it all go up in smoke.

but i did find your above post about being an adult ironic, considering all you wrote in the entire thread.
