Dallas came out and took a quick 2-0 lead. Edmonton woke up and next thing you know tied at 2. The entire rest of the game, I don't think Dallas completed more than two passes in a row, as the Oilers' defensive strategy stifled the Stars.

Exact opposite of what happened in the last game. Edm came out and won first and looked great. I don't think they saw the puck the rest of the night.
Only saw the first five minutes and the last five minutes. When the Rangers made it 3-2 and was holding my breath until the final buzzer. Whew!
I'm gonna stop watching hockey entirely if the final is Dallas/Florida.
Hockey has become a joke of a sport if the only teams winning are places where they literally don't get snow.
Hockey is a perfect sport for the winter blues, and yet it's a sport when the winning teams are places where literally no one gets the actual winter blues.
I know I'm tinkling into the wind on this one, but what should be a mental health perk for being trapped in a northern climate has been ruined.
It's just so bizarre seeing cups being won where the majority of people don't care, and don't even know what a real winter is.
Again I know it's a mortal sin to gatekeep hockey, but seriously a sport you literally cannot play outside and you're winning all the cups.
Imagine if Kangaroo riding was dominated by Finland.
That's basically how I see another southern team winning.
The salary cap was basically introduced so no nothern team could never win.

I'm gonna(fairly)respectively disagree with a lotta this. Many more people are interested in hockey; many young players now have the chance to make a decent salary playing the game they love; people learn to care once exposed to the game; AFA winter, a whole ship(sp?) load of your fellow Ontarians come to FL for a large portion of winter-which you folks are welcome to 'experience'. I had my share of winter at boot camp, north of Chicago from 12/1/64 to 2/12/65. Y'all can keep that [stuff].
BTW, I was born and grew up in Miami. I used to watch the one game each week on NBC(?)back in the early 60s. Always enjoyed the game.
AFA winter blues/indoor sports, I despise 'bassetball', another 'winter' sport.
So. While I respect your right to your opinion, Professional Hockey-at all levels-would never have reached the income possibilities that it has w/o the expansion, yes, into the South, of the sport.
Go Panthers!
Good hockey right there.
ECAC as well, which includes an equally competitive set of matching women's teams.
We follow the WHL out here, which we really enjoy. It's fun watching the NHL stars of tomorrow playing today.
I know how you feel @FryFunk.

Wahoo! Got me another 2-1 game, and a series clincher. The NHL playoffs this year have been doing right by me. 
Well done Florida.

. Things are lookin' pretty good. Now if Dallas and Edmonton can wear each other out...
I'm thrilled the Panthers ousted the Rangers to get to another Final, but I'm leery that having an entire week off until Game 1 will cause some rust. We've seen that happen before. On one hand, it's nice to have a few days for those niggling injuries to heal, but more than a few days can be detrimental. We'll see.
I love it, 2-1 again.
The weight of a nation rests on the Oilers collective shoulders.
If they can sign Kurri and Coffey for the finals, there's no chance they'll lose.
