Panthers destroy Lightning to move on to the 2nd round!

[WaitingForThatCab]

I don't blame them for malding over it, honestly. Series wasn't even close.

 

[Idiot Stick]

Oliver reporting they posted one but the refs took it away

[Gentle Man]

Honestly the difference was we got better coaching, got tougher, and just grew up

Montour got checked from behind and we didn't have someone like Bennett railroad someone in a 1 goal game with 6 minutes to go

Speaking off.. it is a travesty Bennett wasn't on the ice to enjoy it

I wish Montour got boarded harder

 

[Chaos2k7]

All we care about is the respect from their players in the hand shake line...

Mad respect there. LOL

How bad and uninterested was Kucherov? They guy was stumbling all over the ice. Was he drunk? Far away from the Art Ross winninf player. Gus did a great job on him, as did Barky and Lundell.

Both Barkov and Forsling were +4 in Tampa's elimination game. Not bad.

Forsling had a rough game 4, great bounce back.

Last change really allowed us to control the matchup better than games 3, 4.

Interesting comments on the Bolts board about their off-season.
- most want to re-sign Stammer
- all say Duke disappeared in playoffs
- don’t want to keep Dumba
- don’t want to keep most FAs
- many want to find a way to trade Cirelli
- some think Point became lazy and is done

I'm sure he was very interested, he just ran into Barkov and Forsling and they bottled him up. Tampa was super top heavy, so Maurice could focus on him.

- all say Duke disappeared in playoffs

I think they are just angry he didn't score on the breakaway.

He had 6 points which isnt bad, couple good chances stolen by Bob, but overall wasnt the MVP like he was during the regular season.

funny how that works, Duke seemed to play well and i always heard Dumbas name not in a bad way.
Point while this time didnt own us still seemed dangerous each time, and constantly heard his name as he was driving to the net doin something.

Finally!

 

[Ekblast]

Ekblad is having another great postseason run, never out of position, always the smart play, physical play, loving me some Ek.

You shut your mouth. Mannnnnnnn.... Jinx loaded.

Lightning fans are having a normal one

Lightning fans are having a normal one

The coach, the players, the entire fanbase. They’re all the same. Cope harder. Take the L and move on. For a franchise that’s accomplished so much they’re so god damn whiney. As if those goals were going to change the series. No we didn’t lose because the powerplay wasn’t good enough, or our depth or defense wasn’t good enough, no it was we didn’t have enough powerplays. Yeah that’s it, because we’re nothing without it so just keep feeding us the pp time and if not well it’s the refs fault. It’s embarrassing but hilarious to read how bitter they are

 

[iam76]

i will point this out again. if we don't win the cup.. at least we beat tampa... but lets try and win the cup ok

 

[Idiot Stick]

Still cant get over that we beat them and beat them good.

And two and half games missing one of our goon team 6 members

Don't forget Lomberg, who was called the Boston Strangler, was missing too!

Not the most exciting video, but goes to show all the little things he does that can go unnoticed game to game.

Lots of plays on kucherov. At least part of the reason why he wasn't as effective

Convenient that crybaby bitch Cooper left out this interesting stat as he whined to the media about the officiating. If anything, the refs gave Tampa every possible chance to bury us and it was our PK that came through and was huge for us.

The PK won us the series.

I just watched a post on Twitter saying that Montour, Mikkola, and OEL have been better than him. LOL.

I have been pleasantly surprised with OEL all season.

Props to Oliver

Both no goals were legitimate calls. Duke's skate and knocking Bob's stick out of his hand while bumping him.

The rules are very clear on this, if you are in the blue paint and touch the goalie or "impede" his movement, basically, the blue paint is total ownership of the goalie, no questions asked.

 

[Two4Fighting]

Tell that to the Bolts board.
They are having a cow.

The Tampa Bay board lost it with the first callback, with the second one, they went into conspiracy God mode.

Good period boys!

They used thos onbthe Tampa boards saying " yup, it makes all sense now"
