Yeah Yzerman was a great hire but vinnick has completely revamped tampa bay into a hockey town. Used to go to games and half the jerseys were the other team, but lightning fans come out in drones now, and channelside is hockey central. Its really awesome for hockey here right now.
The lightning are very tough this year and have the best offense is the NHL. They are awesome in the third and now have a decent D and goalie. Cups coming back to the bay

Stamkos is one of my favorite players in the league. I'm hoping my Preds finally get through the 2nd round. Losing to the Coyotes last year was a disappointment as we were picked my many to rep the West. We don't have a great offense, but with the way we play D and Pekka Rinne, we'll be a tough out.

I am so excited at how my Leafs are playing but I don't want to talk about it for fear that they shit the bed again! We finally have some serious talent! Its been so long.. I think it would be good for the entire league to see the Leafs in the playoffs again!
Also I was skeptical about trading for VanRiemsdyke but that has really turned out well so far!
If the season ended right now Craig Anderson would get the Venza! He has been a beast this year! And has played more games than every goalie with stats equal or better than his.
Dan are you a lightning fan btw?? Stamkos is among my favorite players in the league, and Marty is up their two, I love the little guys who rock it!
I am excited to talk hockey can you tell?? ;D

And when the Leafs trade for big ticket players they very often flop and we had finally had a hit with Kessel so I figured we wouldn't get two in a row. That and I wanted Nash
