Friday FTB: The Stanley Cup Finals are set

At long last, our global nightmare is over. The terrifying(ly dull) scenario of a New York Islanders vs Dallas Stars final has been averted thanks to the brave men on the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa won yet another overtime game 2-1, where Anthony Cirelli was the hero to send the battered and bruised Lightning to the finals.

Now, about the dullness of the Stars and Islanders. There is this bizarre conflict online where some people are pushing back against the idea that either team are “boring”. They will claim that defense is fun to watch, actually, and this isn’t just coming from fans of those two teams.
