Well it is a good practice match for the pla...

I mean, nothing. Nothing to play for here, Tampa. Save energy.

Svech's coming out party!

 

[NotOpie]

Well of course we're going to suffer that old 5-1 "Ron Hainsey gets his 6 points" loss.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Tampa should throw this game so they don't have to face us in the first round tbh

 

[The Faulker 27]

Tonight we dine in hell.

 

[Unsustainable]

Win one for the Gipper

 

[robbieberns]

we’ve put ourselves in a position where I’ll be fine with any result tonight as long as it doesn’t resemble the winnipeg game

 

[HisIceness]

Tampa may be good, but we have to keep no mess around March going. f***ing just win please.

 

[Jerkob Slavin]

Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that's what we have here tonight, Caniacs. That's what we've earned here tonight. One game; if we played them ten times, they might win nine. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them, and we shut them down because we can. Tonight, we are the greatest hockey team in the world.
The Canes were born to be hockey players—every one of them, and we were meant to be here tonight. This is our time. Tampa's time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Lightning have. Screw 'em. This is our time. Now let's go out there and take it!

Live look in at Caniac nation:

Fast Forward to 11 pm:

 

[Stickpucker]

Johnson hat trick Kucherov pointless Aho with 31 min toi. game ends in regulation.

 

[Jerkob Slavin]

Johnson hat trick Kucherov pointless Aho with 31 min toi. game ends in regulation.

....but who wins?

 

[MinJaBen]

The 18-19 Bolts have the opportunity of shattering 2 legendary records.
The record of most wins held by the 95-96 Red Wings (62).
The record of most points held by the 76-77 Habs (132).

Even if they "beat" those records, there will be a huge asterisk next to both as neither the Wings nor the Habs were able to get a second point (or win) in overtime if the game was tied in regulation.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

This is a good day bc if the game is entertaining it’s more evidence we can hang with the big boys.

And if it’s not we have the first day of the tournament to switch to.
