Most posts for an IGT ever.

Great work guys, glad to connect with some old faces, lots of new faces.

Hope we see you around all summer until the Bears start.

Gonna take awhile to get over this one but it was a great run. Just cut short but some uncharacteristic mistakes..

Definitely shouldn't expect the reigning Champs to repeat, but it would've been nice. Thanks for making these Playoffs jawesome.

Salute!

Just curious, assuming your sarcasm, did Bowman force Q to dress Bollig and Versteeg and force Q to play Zus and Steeger at the end?

I agree. That's the way things usually go in tight series....with the Toews goal and the first one by Sharp, I thought maybe, just maybe things were evening out. But no, tough to combat the great bounces that went LA's way for the major portion of this series.

I am still damn pround of them. Might have been a goal short of playing for the cup but they played their asses off and frankly that is all I can ask of them.

Great run, resilient and came as close as possible to repeat Finals appearance as you can get without actually achieving it.

Actually I got nothing for that ... it is kind of a funny line - and if I were GM those guys would be gone for next season -if for no other reason reason than than there has to be some others that deserve a chance.

Great season -didn't end the way they (or the fans) wanted -but ... well you cannot really argue with the excitement level. That's hockey, baby.

Now to focus on playing some of it myself.

Good today, nice fight back to give yourself a shot, and something more to shoot for again come September....

Yeah, if there's one thing I think we all learned is that the regular season games don't mean a whole lot and that anyone who makes the tourney can win the tourney.

kinda. its rare for 8th seeds to win it all but its common for top dogs to get knocked out early. weird right? and yes....regular season hockey has changed a lot since we have become relevant again.

Thanks for the great season. I only paid passing attention, more than any other season though, and this was the only game I actually watched but it was a great one

Heartbreaking. We were mighty close to that "D" word...2 Cups in 4 years is still pretty awesome. GO HAWKS! Also, this series unveiled how good Saad is going to be..

Maybe if were a loser franchise like Columbus then you can feel good about this season. But given the expectations, and knowing the talent of this team, this season was a failure.

Sure, down 3-1 & almost coming back is nice...but, we failed.
