    Isnt it Ironic A Hockey Team From Florida in the Stanley Cup?????

    Toronto would give their left nut to have the Mapel Leafs in the Stanley Cup and people in Tampa would rather read a book on the beach.

    What's ironic about it? Lightning one of the top organizations in hockey, Toronto ownership happy to fleece the diehard leaf fans. Stay in your lane, idiot. You know nothing about the people in Tampa, much less hockey.

    The Southern US is hockey country. Canada doesn't have real hockey teams or fans.

    Networks were praying for Rangers-Blackhawks, and will probably get Lightning-Ducks. NHL needs to call NBA execs, and find out how to put the fix into the playoffs.

    Tampa had 9th best attendance in nhl this season, but toronto had better attendance then they did. As far as.i can see though national interest in bolts is minimal. Rangers hadlike 18 th best attendance, as far as bear being a idiot. No. He just voiced a national opinion,

    ??? These players are from Canada mostly, some Europe and US,
    it doesn't matter where the franchises are located at all.

    You just made my point. Attendance is relative to size of market anyway (and size of arena). Every year Toronto fills the stands with thoughts of "this is our year", and every year Leafs ownership happily takes their money and watches the team miss the playoffs. Fine line between fan/fool.

    I don't think its a negative that they have a loyal fan base. Though Toronto easily one of worst run organizations in any sport

    Cant say much about the teams, but Canada sure as shit has hockey fans.

    Tonroto has a huge advantage in operating revenue but nothing to show for it, it astonishes me that toronto hasn't won since 1967. The organization has grown fat and complacent. The fans keep buying tickets and getting nothing in return.

    The younger organizations are smarter and more adaptable because they need to keep their fanbase happy or their revenue disappears. The revenue will never disappear in toronto unless the city gets a second team (which will never happen).

    You are right on the money,the Leafs are actually one of the richest franchises in all of Pro Sports no word of a lie.

    Why is a Florida team in the Stanley Cup Final such a revelation? It's not the first time the Lighting have been there.

    If it is Tampa Bay vs. Anaheim, one of those hot climates will become second time Cup winners. And of course the LA Kings have won twice in the last three years.

    Agreed. Stupid subject line and comment. Hell, even the Panthers have been there before. TB has competed on several occasions and has a Cup to show for it. Dumb thread.

    That was an ownership and commissioner issue. The fans showed up. Bettman failed to back the team, yet he was high on garbage Phoenix.

    WTF, they finished last 3 in attendance the last 3 years they were there and EVERY year outside of their first year they finished in the bottom 10. They is why they left because ATL is a NOT AND NEVER WILL BE A HOCKEY TOWN. I don't blame the owners for wanting out.
