Bill Meltzer: SCF: Uphill Climb Falls Short Again in Game 3

Miro Heiskanen turned the puck over to Kucherov you clown.

If you do as much quality hockey coverage as Bill does, then maybe you would have the right to nit-pick. Until then...

Dallas shouldn’t even be in the final , the refs made it so Colorado lost . I’m not even an Avs fan.

Surprised Bill did that and didn't catch that he called out Klingberg instead of Heiskanen....but I love his coverage of the Flyers, rarely any errors or remarks not worthy of mentioning. I am sure he would take that back if he could.

I had to double take on the Title of this blog, I thought it read something about Scottie Upshall. man I am tired. Always love your stuff Meltzer!

There seems to be one of these lopsided games in every Tampa series. If I was a Dallas fan, I wouldn't put too much stock into it and stay optimistic that Trotz can outcoach Cooper. It's a 7 game series and not a best of 3.

As a Tampa fan, I am glad we won two games in a row, but I am not feeling cocky or sure about anything. I've been down this road before with Chicago - first three games played out the same way and Chicago fans were doomsaying their chances, then they turned around and won the next three and put away the series. Tampa went home without a Cup. Been there done that, and I won't take anything for granted until the Covid Cup comes back to Tampa.
