Rumors are that the cats players were out real late at the Tampa Bay tittay clubs last night. Looks like they’re trying to set themselves up for a reverse sweep by channeling the 2014 Kings.

I think it's going to be Colorado and Tampa Bay. I do think Colorado will give them a run for their money. Colorado is clearly the class of the west and I think the only team that will give Tampa trouble.

Colorado probably has the best shot, but I give Tampa Bay the edge in goaltending in that matchup.

 

[KINGS17]

Two good calls on the two goals by TB that were disallowed. Glad they got it right.

 

[kingsholygrail]

It's like an exercise in futility. Despite getting calls their way and putting on pressure, Florida just can't get on the board.

 

[KINGS17]

Third time is a charm. That one is good and gold. Tampa looking to put it away on the power play now.

Nice giveaway by Thornton. No cup for you!

The hockey gods never forgave him for his douchey goal celebration in 2011.

Announcer basically going "Come on, Barkov. Do something."

 

[kingsfan28]

So much for letting them play. We'd have had 5 more pp if they call our games this way. FLA has had ZERO pp tonight.

 

[Ryan120420]

Congrats Joe!

 

[kingsfan28]

FLA pp looks like it's in slow motion. They just take forever to get the puck around.

Six appearances in the ECF for Tampa Bay in the last eight years. I think that’s pretty good.

Man, Andrei Vasilevskiy is a big-time, big-game goaltender. He closes out Florida with a 49-save shutout.

Is that Santa Claus wearing #19 for Florida?

 

[Omni Owl]

Presidents Trophy continues to be a curse. What a disappointing series though, Florida really looked underwhelming. I'd love to see the Canes beat Tampa but the Bolts just look unstoppable, even without Point.

Haven’t they watch Varsity Blues, where a group of players goes to a TT club and they get worked by an inferior team the next day?

 

[Steve Zissou]

Despite the sweep today the Cats will be ok.

Barkov's $10 / year does kick in next season though.

Ms. Davis, will you go to the prom with me?

They have more than enough offensive talent. d talent is better than average but not great...Ekblad Forsling Gudas Haag..(edit: Weegar) ehh. They maybe need a new system, they give up way too many high quality chances. They need to study TB alot more obviously for next year - they didnt seem to have any answers.

This is all just fun and games until we get to Avs/Lightning

"Perron is in a battle, what a warrior"

*cuts to Perron suplexing and leg locking Helm, losing the puck, tripping the next two closest Avs without taking so much as one stride*

I'd take the Avs over the Oilers and Lightning over the Rangers.

Cernak just the kind of D we need now.. but then again watching Bishop for 5 games was pretty special

Makes you wonder what kind of butterfly effect keeping Cernak would have had on drafting, too, considering all the RHD in the system and guys like Faber in particular

It would be so nice if you could view alternate realities on youtube

 

[kingsholygrail]

I think it's going to be Lightning-Oilers.
