I am under-estimating the Bolts and liking it and believe I should. There is nothing anyone can say to sway me into thinking Tampa has any chance in hell. They just don't. Im not being a Hawks homer here either. There is just nothing that Tampa does better or has done better than the Hawks these playoffs. They are getting scoring? yippppieeeee so are the Hawks.
Its cute that TJ is leading the playoffs in points right now but he has also had 3 extra games on guys like Kane who are a point behind. TJ also has 24 penalty minutes..Kane has 0. Alot of the Bolts offensive leaders have pretty high penalty minutes these playoffs. Infact the entire team has been rich in penalty minutes these playoffs (including Stamkos). That says to me a few things. They have been chasing more than possessing. They are showing inexperience and youth. They are sloppy. Teams a fraud and the Eatern division makes them look way better than they actually are.
Only way the Hawks dont win the cup is if they beat themselves. Not going to happen 4 games. It's cute that people are trying to build up Tampa and this cup final but it's not going to be close. Tampa fans can talk themselves into thinking they have a chance all they want to..its adorable.
