Man, I'd love to talk some smack but everybody here is just too nice.
Can you believe that we've won 7 in a row? In the playoffs?
Is it just me or do we get no respect from the ESPN announcers either. I know Barry Melrose gives us no love but the announcers we almost homers for Montreal. EX: Down 2-1, third period, Theodor makes a decent save and they say '...if Montreal comes back to win, that will be the turning point....' WTF??? Meanwhile Khabibulin is standing on his head and is in perfect position everytime you turn around, the Lightning are actually winning the game and they don't say a thing.
The media in general is always quick to make a story, why don't they get behind the Lightning and talk about how they have done it the right way with draft picks, goaltending, cagey veterans, timely play, etc. I don't get it.
But there will be lot's more games to talk about now, so we'll see.
I am kind of dissapointed that they won Thurs. cause I had tickets for Sat. night at the Forum. Oh well. Good news, bad news. I'll take the good news anytime.
