I went into this series not really caring who won but the more I watch the more I'm really hating Tampa. So much interference, holding, hooking, it's every play. Chicago just keeps going though, never complain.
Me too. I came in very neutral and just can't stomach the thought of TB winning another cup. I actually don't have anything against the team or the players though. I just can't stand the organization for some reason. I can't stand their name, their dumb logo, their wannabe hockey fans (maybe that's not a fair comment). They still give me the impression of a roller hockey franchise, everything that is against what a hockey franchise should be.

Not to mention the Hawks are just a damn good team, and will be fully deserving of being called a modern day dynasty if they win again. And the organization just represents the tradition of hockey, its the polar opposite of TB. If there is one team I hope the Flames can model themselves after, its Chicago.

Oh yeah and 2004. I aint even gonna lie, I'm still bitter.
