Tampa defeats Toronto 4 games to 3

[T REX]

The Lightning didn’t have heart until Pat freaking Maroon showed up

The fact this guy has as many Cups as Yzerman

Welcome to IGNORE. You come in here...a series winning thread and TRY to crap on us.

Tight series 5v5 but Toronto with the edge.

Toronto with a big advantage 4v4.

PPs similarly effective but TB just got more of them - and of course, most especially, the series saving laughable late game 2 minute 2 man advantage for the Bolts.


The favorable whistle and bonus PP time for the Bolts allowed them to make up for the even strength disadvantage and make it a near dead even series overall at all strengths:

Toronto showed some real class booing the national anthem ... Bolts sent the leafs home after the 1st round and the tradition continues. Best of luck next year! Lets Go Lightning!

what crack you smoking.

I was in the arena. The American anthem was sung by the crowd, and cheered at the end.

I don't know what boo'ing you heard, but it was in your head.

Real Tampa fans would have no problem admitting they needed the refs to pull this series out.

Thanks.

Need it in gif format though.

That goal wasn’t an ‘expected’ goal so statistically it doesn’t affect the model.

We had a lot of respect in that line from that team, which is nice to see. It was a much different tone, much different feeling of respect from the other side than we experienced previously.

Is an all-time quote. Hilarious and pathetic and oh so Maple Leafs. Were the Leafs just getting punked in the line before?

 

[AvroArrow]

Yeah you guys really deserve a ton of respect with the bullshit you say on here lmfao

10 Matthews threads at a time on the main board

This is what happens when you never stfu, you get it thrown back in your face

Tell me you're salty that your team is trash and can't afford to spend more than the cap floor, without telling me you're salty and your team is trash they can't afford to spend more than the cap floor

Tampa (or Montreal, Boston, Columbus, Washington) fans don't have to admit a single thing. They won and always will have. Take the hint!

 

[AvroArrow]

This is a good post. The Leafs will get over the hump at some point. Matter of time.

You ride or die with a guy like Matthews and even Marner. I know they'll break through at some point, it's bound to happen. Even if they can't go all the way, you don't give up on a talent like Matthews ever.

My team is the Habs, who also eliminated you in the first round last year

So glad this season was so successful for you. Your happiness and joy today is inspiring.

I've had time to calm down and reflect, and it's still funny.

The poster is a Habs fan and we came back on your team from 3-1 to go all the way to the Finals. Now let us know about how happy you are that the Bolts were nice to you after knocking you out of the playoffs.

I feel kind of bad for the Leafs tbh. Losing so many game 7s in a row is already improbable. The events that led to them losing game 6 were improbable. And then probably if you simulated last night’s game a bunch of times, they would win more often than not.

Someone in Toronto must have done something seriously wrong to piss off the hockey gods 55 years ago.

And yet said trash team has done about as much in the playoffs as the club owned by a media mega conglomerate.

The Maple Leafs are the only team to not have won a round post-lockout. That's it. It's them and nobody else. THE ARIZONA COYOTES HAVE HAD BIGGER SUCCESS.

Oh lmao I could never tell, 99% of your posts are about the Leafs so I just assumed you were a Sens fan. Good to know though Pretty funny when people can't even tell what team you're a fan of

Congrats!

So happy for you!

Again and again Stamkos vanished in game 7

I bet he's real upset with himself this morning

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Franchises who have knocked out the Leafs in the 1st round should make it a brotherhood hold yearly events commemorating.

Congrats!

So happy for you!

Yeah. I'm a Habs fan. I'm very happy my team pitched in.

I guess you have never heard of Harold Ballard? This team from him alone doesn’t deserve to win anything for the next 50 years.
