GDT: 4/29/23 - 7:00PM EDT - #2 Toronto vs #3 Tampa Bay [ECQF GAME 6]

[Powerplay17]

Lose all 3 home games says it. All on shit goals.

 

[Peacefool]

I wont say any bad words against our guys. They played well all games. The need rest. Lets rest and try to win Stanley Cup next time)

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

3 OT games at home and you cant f***ing win 1

2 of the 3 should have never gone to OT to begin with. Bolts will regret those all off season

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Losing to Toronto by itself doesn't hurt and it wouldn't have been a surprise before the series.

That we played so well and lost is why it hurts. Three OT games and we couldn't win any of them. It was the difference in the Final last year, and it's the difference in this series.

 

[DaBolts]

Major changes are necessary.

Salary cap is going to be the killer. We'll be 50% Syracuse players next season. No way we keep this group together. Time to pull for Carolina now while we lick our wounds.

 

[Todd1a]

Bad

Can't have back to back melt downs in game 3 and 4 and expect to win

yep should have won this series easy

 

[DistantThunderRep]

If Vasy had his head in the first 4 games, would have been nice.

 

[Felonious Python]

Really, Toronto owes us compensation now for preventing a Toronto celebration-riot.

 

[Antiramie]

f*** it. Let's go bowling.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

This one's on Sergachev and the no-shows, but I don't know how the series isn't on Vasi for games 3 and 4

 

[Rschmitz]

Pretty much what I was expecting from the start of the season. Make it into the playoffs and lose in the 1st round. Team played well all things considered but the degradation on the defense eventually showed.

 

[StaySalty]

Looking forward to our guys finally getting some needed rest and a retool. Definitely no pressure now.

 

[Todd1a]

JBB terrible trade deadline and no assets left to trade and improve

 

[Wester]

Well it was a pleasure guys, i think with Cernak we win this series, Bunting won them this imo

 

[The Gongshow]

Tampa got no bounces tonight

Kuch was absolutely ass

 

[Coopers Gum]

Well.

 

[Cigar City]

The end play by Stamkos not being able to get that puck out is the perfect metaphor for the season.

Just GASSED.

GGs to Toronto. You just knew when they were FINALLY putting themselves in front of shots that they had the greater will.

 

[Maelmoor]

Gutted, we played well enough to win for sure, but wasn't meant to be

Thanks guys, let's all get some rest now and try to bounce back next season.

 

[Stammertime91]

Lmao those celebrations from Dubas and Keefe. Shows the mental toll its put on them.

Crazy cause nobody cares about advancing one, two or three rounds... unless you win it.

 

[JTBF81]

When you were the better team for probably 5 out of 6 games and lose, yeah...it's a 5 or 6 game series win easily if Tampa had usual Vasy all series.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Well. The lightning have won like 50 series in the last two decades, I suppose we can let the leafs win one.

 

[BoltsFanSinceDay1]

not ready for it to be over, yall stay safe over the summer

 

[LightningStorm]

Seems like after 2020 we've lost our way in OT. Fortunately we were able to repeat in 2021 with 16 regulation wins.

We lost this series from games 3 and 4 moreso than tonight. Toronto simply had more depth than us.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

f***ing choked. Well non stop playing the Hagel high stick from now on

 

[Todd1a]

Salary cap is going to be the killer. We'll be 50% Syracuse players next season. No way we keep this group together. Time to pull for Carolina now while we lick our wounds.

Yep killorn is gone for sure

Colton probably wants a pay day

Tanner what do we pay him ?

Vasy needs some defenseman
