Congrats from a Tampa fan!!

[jonpfl]

Toronto fans,

Congrats from a Tampa fan, I hope you guys go far, I CANNOT stand the Bruins or Panthers.

I grew up in Dunedin so I have ran across a ton of Toronto fans and have never met one I did not enjoy talking to (unlike Boston or NY fans).

On a side note, if you had to pick ONE Tampa player to have on your team, who would it be? I assume it is Victor but I am curious.

For the Bolts, it is a no brainer for me, Auston Matthews, dude is a beast.

Good luck the rest of the way, I hope you get the monkey off your back (there is no other team I want to win at this point except for you all).

Thx

I HATE the NHL playoff format now, I think the division winners should be 1 and 2 and the rest by record. It really sucks that two really good teams (ie Toronto and Tampa) end up meeting and one has to be gone after the first round.

Killorn or Cirelli.


Perry of like 5 years ago also.
There's a lot to like from Tampa.

Hell, even Maroon and Paul

I’d say a healthy Victor Hedman by far.

Interesting, I could see Cirelli, he is young and aggressive but Killer was invisible in the playoffs last year. You guys don't need Maroon LOL!!

I’d say a healthy Victor Hedman by far.

Yeah, he seems to be getting up in age and having health issues.

I figured you guys would be truly unstoppable with a young stud d man.

Are you all concerned with Samsonov? I know he played great tonight but he has that history.

Boston looked unstoppable going into the playoffs but they look beatable to me. I really hope you guys crush them in 4 games, I cannot stand Boston fans, they are such morons.

If you'd have asked me a couple of weeks ago, I'd have said Vasi easy. Now I dunno, hard to say as you guys have a number of fantastic players. Victor would be awesome but Kucherov, Point, Stamkos ... I just dunno.

Thanks for the good wishes!

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Congrats.. well deserved.. great series to follow.

Yeah, sadly Vasy looks human again.

I was really impressed with ROR, I think he is the kind of guy you guys really needed, he does the ugly things, I think he will get you all over the hump!

But I am still not counting Florida out, they seemed done but somehow crawled back in it.

If we had to fit him under our current cap,
Cirelli / Perry / Maroon (although the last two are just for now, not even a year later)

If it's without boundaries?
your goalie
your top C

But that's like every team really, no?

I sure hope so! Hard to think that far ahead though, so used to losing that even getting this far is a little bit surreal. But this team sure is stacked though so I like our chances right now as much as any other team. Still a lot of really good teams out there so ... looking forward to the battles.

Just enjoy the ride, I think you guys will springboard from this series. I still remember the bolts getting bounced from Columbus and then look what happened!

To be honest, I expected to lose to you guys after that 4 1 debacle so this doesn’t sting that much.

Tbh your core really played half assed. Maybe Point was decent? Definitely not the cup winners of years past, and thank you very much, and see you next year. Wooo!
