as a bruins fan, i truly feel bad for Roloson. he played his heart out and played a fenomenal series.

[atomictaco94]

who wouldve guessed that the best goaltending dual of the playoffs would come from a 37 year old and a 41 year old?

[VancouverChokers]

@MVPgoalie The Lightning were the second best team last year.

[MVPgoalie]

This 7 game series was a lot harder then the stanley cup 7 game series with the canucks.

I have gained alot of respect for the bruins fans after reading alot of there post on here. This was by far one if not the best game in NHL game 7 history. I know there was not one penalty called but I still say there should of been a charging call when the burin player charged marty st louis and left the ice in the first. But I wanted my bolts to win but since they did not I was happy for Boston winning the cup vs the nucks. Great match between boston and tampa. Go bolts......

Stamkos is BADASS! He took that puck hit the opposite of what Crosby would.

[skalliavas]

The single greatest hockey game I ever got to witness. You just never see a fast-moving game with that many shots that ends as complete and utter goalie trench warfare. Big, clean hits, no penalties and nothing but tough hockey from both teams. This is exactly what hockey is supposed to look like.

[MrDRock913]

This game gave me a lot of respect and admiration for Stamkos. My favorite non Bruins player.

[Mouser01020]

this whole series was one of the best ever....both sides played what should be the definition of true hockey, penalties did not change or affect the series except for a few and correct calls, just tough 5 on 5 hockey played at the left right and center of the rink at all times

[kollad7]

i am going to fuck those hot guys like fuck yeah omfg so hot hmmmm... <3

[17bruins91]

What a great series.  You gotta respect the compete level of the Lightning and esp. Stamkos.
