COL: Looks like Colorado Hockey Now scribes Adrian Dater and Terry Frei, two writers I respect immensely, had very different takes on the Stanley Cup Final after Game 2 and now after Game 3.

The Lightning made sure of that Monday in a 6-2 blowout win.

SJS: Former San Jose Sharks head coach Pete DeBoer is reportedly set to become the new head coach of the Dallas Stars.
