My concerns about Tampa are:
1) Its hockey. You can clatter three posts and have a goalie sit on 2 an inch from the goal line while a single layer deflected 3 times sight sees around Crow and thats the ball game. Low scoring affairs have a statistical probability to swing either direction on any night more easily. Its a long series, but you can't blow the great chances you find yourself with, like 3 goal leads. The Hawks can have frustrating melt downs in spans of 2-3 minutes. No room for error in SCF.
2) Tyler Johnson. It will be interesting to see how Toews deals with a center smaller than himself, or how often the pairing occurs and who wants it. If the compete level is similar and the stick is quick and bothersome, I could see it being slightly frustrating to have his own tactics turned against him. Its up to Tazer and Richards and Kruger to really shut down Johnson and lead Kane to a points trophy. His quick stick on second chances could be key.
3) Stamkos and Killorn. With Johnson already pesky on one line, the true threat is Stamkos and Killorn.
4) Crawford second chances. I don't think the rebounds he always gives up are strictly necessary. He played a magnificent game 7 though and no soft goals. The third goal I felt the goalie was dialed in but just had no chance on the laser deflection. More of the game 6 and 7 Crawford should lead to a Cup, but I don't want to see many Tyler Johnson second chances, or cheaps given to the Lightning 3rd and 4th lines that we need to keep quiet.
5) Bishops is a bad man. At times this season and playoffs he has been dominant. That can be an X factor against us Hawks who have occasional dunderheads Shaw, Bickell, and Seabrooke that will give you power plays.
Its hockey! Its going to be a battle royale of two teams that have found ways to persevere this long. Key bounces are going to put pressure on Star to come up with answers. Unsong heroes are at the doorstep of legend and infamy.

Coordinated troll effort. People are locking their own threads for some reason. Don't know.

you're right. We should go back to joking about how you're an incompetent mod and your wife is way out of your league.
