Congrats to the former favorite whipping boy!

:handclap: Well earned kudos to him.

(Congrats also to recent former Bolt Prospal, for those of us that care :))

Between the deep cup run and the World Cup tournament, our guys are going to be a little worn out if there's an NHL season next year.

True. They won't have much of a vacation if things carry on as scheduled. Somehow, I don't think they'll mind! ;)

Yes, but it will make a repeat even more difficult than normal to pull off.

True.

I'm not ready to even start thinking about next year yet or what I expect from these guys. This will be a hard act to follow. :)

Of course I'm not counting unhatched chickens...

But this team has the opportunity to leave a historic legacy of excellence that goes beyond a single cup over the next 5 years or so.

That we do. I and many are probably very interested in how the new CBA pans out for small market teams such as us. a Key part is to be able to keep the core of this team for a number of years. And if it is kept intact i think this team has chances to go very deep in playoffs every year for years.
