Not pulling their goalie?

 

[RussianGuyovich]

i really hope devils mop the floor with tampa in the next 4 games; tampa is filled with rats

look who doesn't want to face tampa in the playoffs.

don't worry, you're not getting out of the first round anyway

 

[Il Stugotz]

Oops, nevermind. It's 2018 so you just get some hard stares.

 

[The Gongshow]

That's 2

 

[DrJustice]

Have some hope New Jersey can win Game 3 based on the third period, if only to extend the series.

Showed some fight after looking absolutely outclassed and Tampa let the foot off the gas.

Though if the only time Tampa relents is after being up 5-1 then I wouldn't read too much into that.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

I'm here for Hallsy

hall has been super good all series. unbelievable talent

 

[Slicknitty]

Oops, nevermind. It's 2018 so you just get some hard stares.

Friendship and caring

 

[Addison Rae]

im arrogant because i am a tampa bay lightning fan which, despite my constant efforts towards the utmost humility, makes me fairly exceptional

Imagine being cocky because of other mens accomplishments

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

That’s 2 down.

Time to rest Kucherov, Stamkos, Palat, Point, Miller, Gourde, Hedman, Vasi, McD, Killorn, Sergachev, Girardi, Coburn, Johnson, Paquette, and Stralman.

 

[Selyanin]

Ofcourse Palat is going to protect his goalie. Just because Hall is your favourite player doesn't change that.

 

[The Macho King]

****ing garbage from Palat, Hall didn't deserve that at all.

Welcome to the playoffs.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Is it fair to think that this series hasn't been as lopsided as the play indicates? Kinkaid was awful today with no help from his defense, but still...

Yes. Some awful breakdowns by New Jersey and that Vatanen goal was just...bad. The Devils need to compete the way they did in the third, they haven't been nearly as aggressive as the regular season respecting the Lightning, but you just can't play like that. Not a team like this that just doesn't have the horses on defense.

 

[The Gongshow]

New Jersey looked good but it was more Tampa taking their foot off the gas. Classic Tampa

 

[The Macho King]

How lucky that we draw the one team in the NHL we can actually bully physically? Hahahahahaha

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Imagine being cocky because of other mens accomplishments

imagine being mad on the internet

 

[CowbellConray]

Lightning are the better team when they want to be. Still battling inconsistency though.

The Lightning have played well at home all year. On the road is a different story. I expect the devils to pick up at least one win in the next two at home

 

[justafan22]

I wouldn't be shocked if this a tampa sweep or the Devils win in 7 games. Game 3 will tell the story, I guess.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Series thread open. You guys can start migrating over there.

 

[PRZ45MD]

That is not acceptable from Palat. Somebody needs to take a run at him if he won't drop the gloves.

Moore tried earlier, did you miss Moore looking for his teeth from the Forsbergian shoulder he got for his efforts?

 

[The Gongshow]

Ofcourse Palat is going to protect his goalie. Just because Hall is your favourite player doesn't change that.

Rightfully so. Don't let anyone near your goalie. That's basically rule #1

Welcome to the playoffs bud

Wow, didn't peg you for an infantile shit poster based on your HF/Pol posting, but god damn if you're not full of surprises.

Lol we have the best record in the league on the road.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Devils played a really good third. Their second period was pretty bad, the first was about even.

 

[dechire]

I wish the Lightning would stop taking it easy once they get a substantial lead but I don't want them going all out when up by 4 goals either. Just need to find a good middle ground. But a win is a win whether it's by 6 goals or 1.

 

[CowbellConray]

Lol we have the best record in the league on the road.

How I feel they play on the road and their results can be two different things.

I simply don’t think they play as well on the road
