ECQF: Game 3 - Tampa Bay Lightning vs Florida Panthers, 7pm ET, TBS

They were scored on by Steve Lorentz.....Shameful........

I hate to say it, but what is Kucherov doing? Shouldn't he put the team on his back at this point? To be fair, he's probably tired from having done that all season.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I'm impressed at the Panthers this year. Last year they looked like a Cinderella meme team riding Bobrovsky's back until the magic ran dry, but this year they look legitimately poised in all 3 zones. Excited for a Panthers-Canes conference final

The Panthers D is definitely better this year. Same system, but personnel gets better without Eric Staal playing in the top 4.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Kucherov thinks it’s the all star competition, dude showed up drunk.

The Panthers are going to run through the Lightning.

Don’t think Florida has played all that great. Getting goals from their bottom 6 is huge. Tampa just looks a step behind, and even with the 4 PP’s, Cats have been able to hold on and add to their lead so far.

I don’t know about Eric, but Marc shouldn’t play at all..

Tampa has 17 even strength shots lol

depth is so much more important than a top line with no depth in the nhl. in the nba maybe you can get away with just top end talent but the nhl is a complete team game and the lightning are out there with a pickup squad for depth

Florida has been in the lanes defensively tonight, with Tampa getting all the pps. That sums up this game.

Just ask the leafs

 

[Darren McCord]

Go Cats!

I am happy they dropped the dead weight staal brothers.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I don’t know about Eric, but Marc shouldn’t play at all..

I meant Marc, but I'd take Stenner and whoever over both.

If there is one team that could come back from a 3-0 series, it's the Lightning.

He cant hear you, those two rings in his ears really make it hard

Just gotta figure out that pesky time machine.

Don't forget the crystals.

nah not this version of the lightning. Maybe they win a game but this is over

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Marc

I've got PTSD from Staals, my bad

 

[Darren McCord]

Send them back to the farm or back to philly lol. Can't believe they actually paid and played Marc this year.

 

[Chaos2k7]

I am surprised, but very pleased

Yeah you are right been flipping between two games and I think I caught more of that 2nd where Tampa looked to have more momentum. Now it seems like all Cats.
