Series Talk: [A2] Tampa Bay Lightning vs [A3] Florida Panthers (FLA Leads 3-1)

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Lost in all the Edmonton vs LA Kings again memes, another matchup (idk if everyone is tired of it though). The Lightning and Panthers play for the 4th time in 5 seasons. Tampa has a 2-1 lead, with the winner going to the Finals each time. Tampa is flying, and Florida has questions, namely how will they survive without Ekblad for 2 games, and is Matthew Tkachuk at least 70%? He's definitely going to play, probably early, but who knows how injured he is.

Panthers in 7

Tampa in 5. They are the clear better team, and the Panthers guys are either suspended, injured, or been rested and not ready to go. Calling it now Tampa goes up 2-0 in this series

 

[I am not exposed]

Tampa in 6.

 

[leafsfan5]

This is an ECF level matchup in round 1

Taking FLA in 7 but it can go either way

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Tampa in 6 or 7.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

These two teams tried so hard to avoid this matchup. Too bad. Enjoy beating each other up in the battle of Florida.

Imo Tampa is the best team in the east.

Tampa in 4

 

[MessierII]

This will be a good series. I think Tampa will get up early but Florida will get better as the series goes on. Either of these teams could win the cup.

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Lightning in 6.

 

[ViD]

Lightning in 4

Won’t even be close

1- injury from Florida are scary and Ekblad suspension

2- they scoring less than 2 goal since like what 16 to 20 game, it's pretty alarming

3- They facing best goalie in the league..

Tampa will win it and could be the biggest disappointment of playoff

Tampa in 5

Florida men vs Florida men.

Winner moves to second round, loser has to either wrestle an alligator to the death or hang out with Florida man for a day, which may involve wrestling an alligator to the death anyway.

 

[Cypher]

The team from Florida wins in 7.

ZEMGUS!

[kerrabria]

Tampa in 6. They're peaking at the right time, and we're just beat to hell.
Bob will steal us a game. Barkov+Reinhart will carry us to another one. But I don't think we ever look in it.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Lightning in 5 or 6

P's look out of gas

 

[The Shadow]

Just beat the hell out of each other. Game 7 and many OTs. Give them nothing. Take from them everything.

 

[TimeZone]

Banger of a series

Cats in 7, but really could go either way

 

[Gizmoskevich]

Bolts in 6. Too many questions for Florida. Come back stronger next year after some long rest

 

[Master P]

Hopefully Chaffee is ok after that head shot.

 

[Power Surge]

Bolts in 6. I'm confident in my team. I wouldn't mind it going to 7 because of the rivalry.

 

[Power Surge]

Hopefully Chaffee is ok after that head shot.

Any updates?

Any updates?

No idea but it didn't look good.
