ECQF/ Game 5 - Florida Panthers vs Tampa Bay Lightning, 7pm ET

[Pablo El Perro]

I know, just pointing out a reason it wasn’t a similar situation

As was i

Just here to watch Kucherov throw his gloves at the bench again

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Pretty hard to win a game against a team like Florida when 2 goals that easily could have counted are disallowed.

 

[Coffey]

Hey Folks,

A little trash talk is fine but when it crosses into personal attacks it’s an issue. Please try and refrain from crossing that line and also please do not wish injury on players.

Thanks!

How about trash talk that isn’t personal or crossing any line?

 

[Tofveve]

Is Kucherov playing tonight??

Wait I'll check the Hart vote thread brb

 

[KCbus]

Starting to look like we can stick a fork in the Lightning's run of NHL dominance.

 

[BMOK33]

Im wondering the same thing?

They won’t begin the east before the west so basically Vegas needs to win tonight for any possibility of that

Notice how he didn’t make contact though. That’s how you play in close.

I’m not sure about that , we didn’t get 700 angles in super slow mo to see it.

They were done 2 years ago.

If the Leafs win tomorrow, I don't think they play a game until Saturday.

8 min left, this isn't insurmountable

It was already in after the failed 3peat. Losing that much depth is playing with a totally different team, and even that 3rd cup final team was depleted

 

[KingAlfie11]

Please can someone just punch Tkachuk right in the face I want to see him choke on that damn mouth gard

Everytime I hear that cheesy cat roar sound effect, I am pavlovian conditioned to expect to hear Steel Panther immediately after.

Apparently you can't insult school systems. Just so you know.

Poor poor TB...

They are in that Islanders 85-88 phase of post dynasty decline

Trading away an entire draft for Jeannot certaintly isn't helping them rebuild

Hagel has been great but trading two first rounders as window appears to have closed in hindsight may turn out to be mistake.

 

[centipede2233]

Tampa cup window is closed, shut. Tampa will run the course just like Chicago, LA, Pitt. Win their multiple cups then zero playoff success since

2 years ago they were in the Finals. It wasn't nuts to think that after a first round loss last year that they might be able to rally after a string of long, long, long, long draining seasons.

But they certainly look like the window has closed now.

It happens to best of teams with the cap rules. Unless you want to play around with your LTIR players

worthless garbage. It depends on the team not the actual play.

My Jack Russell used to instinctually bark, but now he's a Montour fan. Go figure.

60% of the time, it works every time.
