Series Talk: Round 1 - Battle of FLA Part 4 - Panthers Lead 2-0

If this team doesnt come back from Tampa at least 1-1, that Game 3 on Saturday @ 1pm will taste like straight bootyhole, f*** these 1pm games, Panthers wake up like at 8pm for gameday normally so im always assuming they will sleepwalk throught an important game like that.

Not feeling it this year, at least in 2023 it was a "got nothing to lose" attitude going into Boston and 2024 they were cruising, this year is just weird so they are more than welcome to prove everyone wrong and flip the switch or whatever since they been resting for like 2 months now.

Reactions: I am not exposed
Jesse Puljujarvi has received a 2 game suspension to be served in 2028 or whenever the f*** bambi is back in the NHL


^Actually the official NHL PR release
 
I feel like it's more of a playing in Winnipeg tax? 6 x 7 at 30 years old for Pionk? I think Ekblad will get done.
Not so much the price, but availability of top 4 RHD in FA.

Man I dont remember us being such massive underdogs since 2023.........I still say I had more fun that playoff run than 2024...
2023 was all “f*** you we’re not supposed to be here” vibes.

Well this time it's f*** you, your team is exhausted.

Which lets break it down

Verhaeghe - Barkov - Reinhart - True. Thats a lot of hockey
Samoskevich -Bennett - Tkachuk - Doesnt apply to Samo, true for Benny, Not true for Chucky anymore. He's had quite a vacation
Lousty - Lundy - Marchand - True for the Finns, lol not true for Marchand sorry bro.
4th line - Lol no you guys havent played a lot.

Forsling - Ekblad - True for Forsy, not true anymore for Ekky. He should be juiced up for Game 3

Mikkola - Jones. Is it true for Mikko? This is only his second run he should be ok. Lol f*** off Jones you blow. You better not be tired

Kulikov - Schmidt - Same apply for Kuli here with Mikko.....and he's been on vacation he should be good. Schmidt was literally scratched so f*** off you are fine.



I only count 7 "tired" guys really 🤔

This whole "team is exhausted"-thing is overblown. the Dolts have been playing playoff hockey the past eleven years (plenty of deep runs) but somehow the Panthers are the one suffering from it and not the Dolts.

Typically this "exhaustion" is result of the team not believing itself and therefore giving a half-assed effort. I really don't think we'll be seeing this "issue" occurring.

lol if anything.


The one time Tampa made the Final in recent memory where they played an actual Regular 82 game season, they lost to Colorado
 
I'm not going to shade Tampa on their cup wins they were well deserved, but 19-20 was a 67 game season with no real playoff travel (and they lost to Columbus in the 1st round the year prior) and 20-21 was even fewer games (56) in a weird division with easier travel. 21-22 was normal schedule and finals loss.

Game totals + Playoffs for Tampa's 3 Cup Runs = 279

Game totals + Playoffs for Florida 3 Cup Runs *3rd year being this year* = 289 without playoffs yet
