I'm sad. Very sad. I am in mourning. My Bruins got eliminated - Whaaaaaaaaaaa!

Oh, well. At least the Habs did too.

I never expected the Habs to get past the Penguins...So they ended up going further than I had assumed. It really doesn't matter what round you get eliminated in you're still gone.

Are there fans at these games or are these games more like scrimmages?

There are no fans and it is not the same for sure, but far from what I would call a scrimmage, these guys are out to win.

Well, when I played sports, if no fans were there, it was a scrimmage.

Call it as you wish they are playing for the Stanley Cup, Like myself you probably were not good enough to make the NHL........I think it should be called the Covid cup!!!

I never played hockey.

In any case, athletes are just entertainers. I do not find empty seats filled with cardboard cut outs entertaining.

It is ok you never played hockey, you're still a hockey fan though right.

Yes, I agree the game isn't the same with no fans in the stands and the fake crowd noise they make is quite obvious. The games have been toughly contested though surprisingly enough without the fans. I didn't even think they would get as far as they did without a breakout. The NHL powers have done well.

I believe this should have been called the Covid Cup, nothing like a real Stanley cup final.

Tampa scored three goals in the first 15:16 minutes of the game, including two on the power play, and held off a late push by Dallas to win 3-2 and even the Stanley Cup Final at one game apiece.
