To me this game should be all about Vasilevskiy. He's been extremely average in this round - and this is after being very average last year in playoffs, and all of this season. He's only 29 years old, still young. He shuld be performing like one of the very best in the league.

Is he still an elite goalie? The best goalie in the league, or at least among the best in the league? If so - it's about time he shows up and steals a game.

I'll say Tampa wins - 4-1. Kucherov with another 3 points. Reverse sweep is incoming, with Tampa winning round 1 in 7 games. But...Vasi needs to step up.

At some point Tampa Bay has to have a complete game, I think? Just been really strange to see how dull they’ve been

Game 4 was the closest we've gotten, but the second period was pretty blah.

I wonder if Cooper has the balls to load up his top line again without last change, he desperately kept them away from Barkov in TB.

If we go out tonight, then at least we can safely claim that we had the best GDT's, thanks to @TheDaysOf 04 !

I hope we can extend the series though, but it will be tough and will require a really good performance.

At least you are trying hard with this schtick.

Into the raging Sunrise we go,
A tale old as time, to vanquish our foe,
We must be primal, or all is lost,
Though they would prefer the status quo.

Heave, ho, the sails they are crossed,
We hope, and pray, that no one is tossed,
One goal in mind, one path, one mind,
A win must come at any cost.

Was nice of us to let Stamkos both have a final victory at home in his Dolts jersey and even let him score from his favorite spot, time to end the series and get guys rested up.

Let's find the foot on the neck level from last year fellas.

I am bored and thinking about tonight's game.

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!

No one is used to seeing the Bolts fail like this when they've been so successful for so long. Not to take anything away from Florida, they're an excellent team, I expected this one to be a long series though

Now would be a fun time for TB to make this an interesting series though.

Personally, I think we saw Tampa's best shot. They got every break they needed in games 3 and 4 and only managed a split.

 

[Chaos2k7]

I expect the first period to setup the rest of the game for the Cats. They will not come out tentative like in game 4.
