This team is young and will be a contender for years to come … or … 82 years, one Stanley Cup?

No matter which shade of Broadway Blue you bleed, it will be the Tampa Bay Lightning attempting to win their third Cup in yes, 21 months.

We picked the Golden State Warriors in six. That may happen Thursday night. The ice pick? Tampa Bay in seven.

“He is detached from reality if he really believes this.” No worries, Bill Barr. We know this constant winning will end, but we are going to ride the wave as long as we can. The Twins are in Seattle. Sonny Gray is back after spending 15 days on the IL with a “right pectoral strain.”

Gray had won three straight before going on the shelf, giving up three runs over 19 innings. The Mariners’ Marco Gonzales has lost two of his last three. Play 10 units on the Twinkies.

Rocky Mountain High! Good game, better result. The Rockies tied the score at three before the Guardians won it in the tenth inning, 4-3. Up +1,264 charboneaus.
