I thought the fans were fake because of how quiet it is in there.

 

[JoVel]

Panthers are just the better hockey team, and not by a small margin.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Dumba

remember when people thought he was good?

And then he gave up his #55 and became a dumba55…

 

[BB79]

I live South of there, lived in Tampa for a year. So it's a bit hotter.

Chucky!!!!

I was in Clearwater/Dunedin, right after the Bolts won it in 04. Clearwater beach was my favorite hangout

 

[Andre Palot]

Tampa are in their 'one and done' era.

 

[aRielzinhooo]

Kutcherov must be close to be in fulltilt-mode

 

[brentashton]

I thought the fans were fake from Toronto because of how quiet it is in there.

 

[Andre Palot]

Ice AT the beach!

Bash at the Beach.

Well.... NHL/ESPN tried to do what they could for Lightning (2 PP's) to maybe get series 1-2, but Lightning didn't take advantage, and Florida played good PK like "Cup" contenders do. Lightning better tighten up, or it's time to fill the keg-frigs , dust off the clubs, and enjoy the off-season.

Panthers just score: they survived rush, like "Cup" contenders are suppose to do. We'll see what happens but Lightning look to jittery, good D can do that.

I was in college in Tampa that year. Moved to Philly for a bit, now back in SWFL.

This has sweep written all over it unless the lightning top players do what they're supposed to do.

 

[DownIsTheNewUp]

I don't think the girls at the Mons Venus are going to save Tampa this time.

 

[Daximus]

Florida is playing sloppy and still look miles ahead of Tampa.

We probably walked right by each other

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

This lilleberg dude is ASS

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

Every player on Tampa but Vasi looks like they’d rather be anywhere but a playoff hockey game

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Those wet noodle PPs seemed to deflate any of the momentum Tampa picked up.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Like Pat Reilly said about playoff hockey . . . Pat Reilly?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

At least you didn't roast me and switch it to my adult partners

Panthers are cheap shot artists. They get away with more infractions than they take.

Might have. But on point, I'll take 110 degree summer days over depressing Northern winters. And I'm in landscaping.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Wild start.

When that 2nd PP came I was like they won't score they were just out there.

Tampa is going to have to tighten up or Panthers will run them over.

Good news for Tampa? Period is almost over and they have a big chance to come back.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

We are imploding in our gdt more than the team in the ice

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Yeah,much like the Bruins last night, 10 infractions a minute.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

So, Tampa, will you trade Jeannot and what you want from Montreal....
