Should the NHL have the Habs and Lightning redo their series in case it was a big fluke?

No disrespect to the Habs, I'm a firm believer that Montreal deflecting in 2 goals on 9 shots against them is a huge fluke and robs the Lightning of truly accomplishing what they’re capable of. I've spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Lightning play great hockey it's just not fair.

If the Lightning lose again I will face that the Habs deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Lightning and the NHL.

Hey, I’ve been thinking about getting into hockey for a while now, and I’m trying to figure out how much a full set of ice hockey equipments is going to cost me before I fully commit. So far I only have skates, and I know I’ll need everything else like a stick, helmet, gloves, pads, and all the protective gear. I don’t want to go super cheap and end up replacing everything after one season, but I also don’t want to spend more than I need right at the start. I’ve seen different price breakdowns online, and some people mention comparing costs across places like Alibaba and other sites when trying to estimate total spending, but the numbers seem to vary a lot depending on the level of gear. I’m 22 and just starting out, so I want something that’s reliable and will last, but doesn’t have to be top level. If you’ve built a full set from scratch, how much did it cost and what did you focus on first?

Are they Bedarded?

Hey, I just started playing ice hockey this year, and I’m trying to keep practicing during the off season by getting into inline hockey. The problem is, ice hockey equipments are already expensive, and I don’t want to end up buying a full second set if I don’t really need to.

I’m trying to figure out what gear I can reuse and what I might need to change. I’m guessing gloves, elbow pads, and maybe shin guards should still work, but I’m not fully sure how different the setups are between the two.

I’ve seen some discussions where people compare gear setups and even mention variations they’ve come across across places like online stores when talking about equipment differences, but I’d rather hear from people who’ve actually played both.

I just want to keep improving without spending too much extra money if I can avoid it.

If you play both inline and ice hockey, what gear do you keep the same and what did you have to switch out?
