The Tampa Bay Lightning are back to the Stanley Cup Final for the second year in a row. Sure, there’s a different blue and white team I would rather cheer for in the final, but given the circumstances I am grateful there’s one there at all.
Side note: I have no idea what it is everyone in the crowd threw on the ice there at the end, but I guess it’s better than the shower of beer cans—some of them nearly full—that got thrown at the Islanders players at Nassau Coliseum on Thursday.
