Back home from Tampa... Game 7.. my thoughts
Well it was my second CUP thats ive witnessed being one, the 1st being the Rangers in 1994. I have to say Tampa Fans should be proud. They werent as loud as Ranger fans. The NY Cup was bedlam from the national anthem til the end, but Tampa was still defening.
THE GAME -
Calgary looked burnt out. Nothing left. Totally washed out from losing game 6. Only Kipper kept game from being a blowout.
Except for four min or so after they scored that 1 goal.. it was total domination completed by stupidity of that last penalty which was deservedly handed out.
Ill say this, Brad Richards definitely deserved Conn Smythe, but shouldve been more mention about Fedetenko , I think he had 12 or 13 goals.
Also a BIG BIG factor in the series was play of Dingman and 4th line who seemed to keep the puck deep for their whole shift , every shift which wore out Calgary. Without a doubt I believe Dingman unsung hero of series and earned that CUP as much as anyone.
