Don't want TBL to threepeat, but sure do want them to kick the shit out of the Rangers.

Rooting for Tampa to get past the Rags. It gives us the best hockey for the Stanley Cup Final.

Man, Tampa has brass balls. They won the game, then instigated and won the fight after the game, basically telling the Rangers, "You are our bitch!"

Am I the only one not impressed with Lafreniere? Wasn't he the clear consensus #1 pick over Byfield and Stutzle?

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum in wanting to see a team threepeat since it hasn't been done since the Islanders did it in the 80s, plus it would silence those critics who've been calling them Covid Cup champs, as if the rules for them are different and doesn't apply for other teams.

They've also done something the Kings are trying to do, which is to build a winning team that is mostly composed of their own drafted talent.

agreed. If they make the finals its a win win for me.
One one had would be crazy to see a team win it three years in a row. I was born in 84 so too young for the 80s. On the other if they lose than haha to Perry

Rangers Fan Arrested for Brutal Sucker-Punch of Tampa Fan After Game 5 Loss

A New York Rangers fan is facing assault charges after a now-viral video captured him brutally sucker-punching a Tampa Bay Lightning fan following the Rangers’ playoff loss Thursday night. Tampa scored twice in the final minutes to seal a 3-1 victory over the Rangers at Madison Square Garden and...

I hope the sentence this ahole receives is for the intent, and not only the result. The result was bad, but I understand the Tampa fan is going to recover. The intent was to severely injure. This kind of BS has to stop, and this clown should be made an example of how much prison, probation, fine, and restitution someone has to pay when they pull this garbage.

Guy is obviously a genius as well wearing a red t-shirt in a sea of blue Rags and Lightning jerseys.

Lightning are rolling now. I expect them to close it out and really only a Shesterkin masterpiece will push this to 7 I think.

NYR came back 0-2 on CAR.. and yesterday's game was a tossup.. TB has locked down on defense - but I think Chester is totally capable of stealing the game as u mentioned.. so my line for game six is even

I could see a Game 7 in this series, but I think Andrei Vasilevskiy is now dialed in, and will be very difficult to beat.

The Rangers aren't getting the amount of traffic in front of him necessary to beat him, while Tampa is marching players to the front of the Ranger net almost every shift.

If Tampa was going out it was going to be early. These guys know how to win, its what they do, and they know how to manage their energy and health in these last stages.

I am not so sure that Colorado is going to trouble them.

I'm surprised we haven't had certain people chime in that the Lightning fan deserved it for committing the sacrileges crime of supporting your team on the road.

I'll bite.

Nobody should be sucker punched like that. Nobody should be threatened for simply wearing the opposing team's jersey and cheering for said team.

If you want to be a drunk asshole, however, and specifically target fans of the home team and antagonize them after a brutal loss then you need to be ready to defend yourself: especially if it is a huge game and depending on what building you are in.

Don't know what this guy was doing before the punch which, again, is still unwarranted. That said, he sure looked like he was being a real jackass. It's not one's fault for getting mugged walking down a back alley in a bad part of town in the middle of the night: it's the muggers. At the same time, don't walk down that back alley.
 
I know the Debrincat trade is false, but its just a matter of time before he is dealt.

The Hawks are going to try and bottom out and get a Top 3 pick next year while still having two very good players in Kane and Jones. Boy, that Jones trade, yikes.
