All the guys we wanted to trade away this summer have all showed up in a big way for us too. Rhino, Duke, Ek all have been stellar.

FYI 4th straight year a Florida team is playing for the Stanley Cup. My prediction the Florida Panthers will be the next Tampa Bay. So I guess that means we will have at least two more consecutive appearances after this year.
Bro, welcome back!!! And yes lets get this cup, we deserve it27 years and back again. Can’t put into worlds how many memories of 96 this run has brought back, made me feel like I’m getting swept up in Cats hype for this first time, again.
This team has somehow evolved and forged themselves in each round, going from some desperation hockey in R1, to shutdown and team D in rd 2 and bow putting those together to sweep the Canes. To be here from how rocky the regular season was with uncertainty that they would even make it past the reg season to being on the cusp of greatness.
One more round, one more Goliath to slay. In the name of the Holy 16 Hatter, the 23 Series Ender and our Savior in 19. LFG

Our poor wallets...
Wonder what those posters think about “Baston is gonna outscore Panthers” and “Toronno is gonna outscore Panthers”. Wonder if they wonder why they didn’t. And now the Canes.Everyone talking like Vegas is going to outscore us on the mainboard. People tend to forget that we can match offense with the best of them. Only reason we scored less in this series is that we took Carolinas gameplan and used it against them.
I woke up to 80 recently and almost all of them were likes on one post. I didn't think it was one of my better ones, honestly.I woke up to 43 notifications on HFBoards, definitely a record for me
Everyone is feeling good right now!
In my most recent memory it’s the Lightning who said screw it, we’re picking up the trophy, and they went on to win the SC.Really happy for you guys.
Proud of the leadership on the team for making the decision to take the trophy.
I don't care what anybody says, getting there is a hell of an accomplishment, and it should never be overlooked for a dumb superstition.
Just from what I know, Messier grabbed it in '94 and the Rangers won the Cup. So did Stevens in '95 and Sakic in '96. Before that, I'm pretty sure Lemieux touched it both timesIn my most recent memory it’s the Lightning who said screw it, we’re picking up the trophy, and they went on to win the SC.
Ironically, wasn’t Yzerman still with the Bolts during the bubble, and they picked up the trophy anyway?Just from what I know, Messier grabbed it in '94 and the Rangers won the Cup. So did Stevens in '95 and Sakic in '96. Before that, I'm pretty sure Lemieux touched it both times
Yzerman took it upon himself to not touch it in '97 and that became the thing, pretty much ignoring all the years prior.
I could see the superstition/tradition if nobody ever did it but it was pretty much universally touched until 1997.
