Series Talk: All-purpose around the league playoff talk thread.

[Warden of the North]

If Tampa loses this series hockey media will be INCREDIBLE for the following two weeks.

Not only because of Tampa, but so many of them hate Tortorella and wont give him any props for anything he does.

 

[PuckMagi]

lol Tampa

 

[garce]

Can’t decide who to pull for in the Isles series, hate to go Pens but their fans were such dopes over JT, I guess I will.

 

[Snip Genos]

The islanders are a tough bunch, pens can’t do anything without getting hit

Pretty much what Columbus is doing to Tampa right now.

Pretty much what Columbus is doing to Tampa right now.

Columbus has a lot more talent though. I still think the Islanders are a lottery team playing on luck and emotion.

3-0 Blue Jackets

Sound the alarm in Tampa.

Want the Isles team to win and the fans to lose.

Plus goaltending for NY. It’s been huge.

I like the Pens.

I dont really get why people dont? They play a very exciting style of hockey with one of the best players to ever play.

Plus how can you not love the Phil

They believe. That's half the battle

 

[socko]

That's the only reason I can root for Pitt. I have to root for the Isles though as I want the weaker opponent.

 

[Gallagbi]

Surprised Johnson got the only penalty there, could've easily been evened up or a Pens PP.

 

[shaner8989]

Bye bye Tampa

Gonna be a sweep to

Clb is for real. Tampa’s a joke. Lead by another no show from stamkos. Thank god we didn’t sign him

 

[Trapper]

They are all the enemy now and all obstacles in our way.

Yeah I don’t dislike them or Sid, I always liked Phil. I guess it’s just they’ve won enough.

Obviusly I want the Leafs to win, but after that? Pitt seems like a good choice.

In fact, I LOVED how they shut up all the media which had San Jose rolling over them in 2016. Same in 2017 with Nashville

 

[socko]

I actually enjoyed the Caps shutting up the Vegas hype a lot. What can I say I like physical old school hockey.

 

[Koolboss]

loving it Tempa losing in the first round is great, now only if Pens beat the Islander :

 

[Daisy Jane]

boos in Tampa?

 

[socko]

Columbus still dominating just hit the goal post. Tampa fans booing their team.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Tampa in full meltdown (playoff) mode. Columbus are having their way with them

Columbus would make me laugh. But that would require the Leafs to be done in the second round. The air coming out of the pundits would be fun. And the added local bonus of seeing the Sens celebrating not giving up 1st overall, and being a shootout away from being in the lottery via Columbus pick to late teens to 31 would be funny. But we want the Jackets to be eliminated in the second round,

They are clogging the neutral zone. Same recipe to beating the Leafs. Babs better have an answer should we be lucky enough to meet them in round #2. Goalie Bob laying an egg would help
