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

[Hockeyholic]

Are you assuming Boston is beating the Leafs? It's only 2-1

Neither Toronto or Boston have a chance of beating Florida imo.

No team does. Except maybe Rangers.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Stamkos should have had at least 1 diving penalty, 3 or 4 egregious dives

 

[Hockeyholic]

They should trade that guy from Nashville for 4 or 5 picks. Jeannot?

That was a dumb trade. Forgot about that.

They have a bleak outlook going forward.

I agree with everything you said. I've been saying since game 1, the BOS-TOR series is the battle to see who gets their face caved in by Florida, and I'm a Bruins fan

I'm not counting Toronto out until the Bruins win 2 more though. They're always a tough out

They're both good teams. Any team in the Atlantic isn't an easy matchup.

 

[Darren McCord]

I mean this really just proves Kuch should win the Hart. Without him producing this is what you get.

Mack had a better season. Colorado is more top heavy. Lighting have a deeper team overall.
5 guys above 75 pts.
Avs had 3

Avs would fall off without mack just the lighting without Kuch. Maybe harder

It's easy to smother kucherov when the rest of the team other than stamkos isn't doing anything. The lightning made some huge blunders getting rid of their depth for their top performers. The only reason the top guys did so well was because of how deep the rest of the team was. This lightning teams top guys are kind of average when they are not backed by that third line. They gave the leafs a first round win so you know they aren't very good anymore.

Without Kuch, the Bolts are Montreal.

 

[The Gongshow]

Thought it would be more of a series. Cooper has no answer for the Florida forecheck. Kucherov hasn't really done much of anything.

Didn't even know Kucherov was dressed tonight

 

[Felidae]

Kucherov is one of the best PO performers among active players, but funnily enough this isn't the first time he's been a no show in the postseason after winning the Art Ross.

 

[Darren McCord]

Without Kuch, the Bolts are Montreal.

meh point had 90. stammer hit 40 and hedman was a ppg. hagel was almost a ppg too.

They had 4 other players at almost a ppg.

 

[I am not exposed]

Carolina in the east.

Vegas and Dallas in the west.

They had 4 other players at almost a ppg.

I wonder who helped them get those points?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

They had 4 other players at almost a ppg.

And that team is a wildcard team

 

[Darren McCord]

I wonder who helped them get those points?

didnt know they player 4 forwards at the same time

 

[Divine]

I think either of these teams will be better than 0/5 on their powerplay though

Tampa went 0/4.

You guarantee they would have scored on their next powerplay?

 

[Master P]

didnt know they player 4 forwards at the same time

Believe it or not players can play with one another at different times.

 

[Darren McCord]

And that team is a wildcard team

because their number 1 goalie was out for half the year.

Vas is so important to the lighting

Believe it or not players can play with one another at different times.

Didnt realize Kuch player 30 min a game lol.

Anyway Kuch had a wild and awesome season. I still put him behind Mack

 

[Divine]

I still find it amazing Tampa didn't take a penalty all game.

What?

Yes, but don't play the Mack plays with bums card. Kucherov was the Lightning this year. Unfortunately, Florida doesn't give guys much time with the puck.

Lol I never said Mack plays with bums. I just said tampa is a deeper team. Mack plays with a start winger and norris dmen.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Uh oh, Gretzky is retelling his McSorley story but with Marchand as the stand in.

 

[Darren McCord]

What?

Bad joke Nvm

 

[Master P]

I still find it amazing Tampa didn't take a penalty all game.

I mean maybe Florida should have been more blatant with some of their infractions and they wouldn't have gotten called. Worked for them last game.

Heres an example.
