I am not sure I can remember another break away attempt by Aaron Ekblad, lol.

I am hopeful we get to see some quotes like this after game 3:

"Down 3-0? Who cares, we can come back."

They have some great gentleman's clubs in TB for game planning purposes, lol

I said Tampa in 5.
They decided to be generous, and do it in 6. No biggy

5-1 tonight for Tampa. Kucherov with 2 goals and 2 assists

You can keep altering your predictions. Nobody is keeping receipts.

Do or die. Show them who's boss!

Winner of this game wins the series.

 

[ShootIt]

would of respected Hedman's comments way more if he said, "cause Stone Cold Austin said so" after the bottom line.

 

[Beezeral]

Winner of this game wins the series.

I don't see that at all. Lighting could win this one in a laugher and all the Panthers need to do is take game 3 to have a stranglehold on the series.

4-2 Lightning. Hagel with the GWG.

TB found their game a little bit during game 2. The first 4 periods of the series did not bode well for them, but I saw enough after that to make me believe they're not done just yet.

Bennett is a significant loss and Forsling may be compromised. Games 1 and 2 being decided by one goal, with how horrible TB has looked, says something.

 

[Chaos2k7]

This will be the biggest test of the series

This does not look like a Tampa team that "found their game"

Tampa is surving on Vasi and capitalizing on the few chances they get. Playing this type of hockey might steal you a game or two, but most times this is the recipe for a short series.

Bold move Cotton

If kucherov doesn't start playing well then the lightning have no chance of mounting a comeback. Lightning lost too many depth players for their main core to not show up big

 

[Leonardo87]

Have a feeling Tampa takes this game, but they split the games in Tampa, with Florida winning Game 5 to seal the series at home. But I could be wrong. I usually am. lol.

Cooper at home can try to get him away from Barkov line, with Forsling on D.

Kucherov has looked aggravated a few times, he’s gonna start slashing if he can’t start scoring

Florida hasn't played like the Florida at the top of the league, since before the trade deadline. So in other words, they can still step their game up, a lot. Don't know if it will happen, but it's still unpredictable where this series will go.

 

[Tryamw]

Can Tampa win this one? I want this to continue

I have no expectations Florida will win (never do) but Tampa has been horrible and Vasi is the only reason both games weren't blowouts. Kucherov wakes up they'll have a great chance, talk about a disappointment. Mitch Marner level playoff skills right now.

It was in the 3rd period shorthanded. It’s in the video in the op

Today I learned that Kyle Okposo is on the Panthers

And then you wake up…

 

[DFC]

Need Kucherov to morph into playoff Kucherov. Game 2 was his worst playoff game since 2019.

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

tonight is the night tampa gets 5-7 PP chances.
