Post-Game Talk: Panthers destroy Lightning to move on to the 2nd round!

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Congrats on beating Tampa and making it to the second round. Good luck against Boston!

Any hypothetical round 2 start dates?

Seen speculation that if all of the Eastern games are wrapped up in the next couple of days, they will start on Saturday with the primetime slot, since there won't be a game 7 to place there.

 

[Last Rat Standing]

Figure Saturday if it ends today, but if Toronto wins, probably looking at early next week. Dallas and Vegas will still have to play on Friday and if that goes 7, does that delay the start of the next round, regardless of if the east finishes before?

I can use a few stress free days from hockey

Oops, I read that as “any hypocritical round 2 start dates”, because your post was directly under a post that mentioned Cooper.

Just saw Stamkos go to the grocery in a Tampa jersey for possibly the final time.

Crazy, did you guys know that

Did he pick up some French cries for Cooper?

Now that was the type of game they needed. Obviously winning the series was the biggest thing. But on top of that, the way they played the game was quite good.
I think things switched when Barkov scored his first goal. Things kind of fell in order, and they played much better from that point on. Up until then, wasn't overly impressed with their play. Unfortunately the Lightning seemed to click with their game at the same time the Panthers did. And they played to a stand still. Until the Panthers started getting those key goals.
All around a great great game. Satisfying game. Beat the Lightning the way they did. As a former Chicago Bulls fan, it reminded me of when the Bulls beat the Pistons in the 1991 playoffs for the first time. Had a similar feeling.

BARKY celly gives me LIFE! Never seen him so animated, it was awesome to see. He's been stepping up his play, throwing the body, and shooting more in the playoffs since last season and I'm ALL FOR IT!!

I think the best is yet to come with him this playoffs. I don't think I've ever seen him play this well-rounded before.

My guess is it starts Sunday.

Practically the only negative to last nights victory was that we'll now have no choice but to tune into the national feeds .

Last season Bally had a post game show after every game throughout the playoffs. Hope they do that again.

Best of luck to Duclair in Anaheim or whatever. Glad he's not here to soak up press box minutes in the postseason anymore.

Duke played a very physical game this postseason. If he played like that for the Panthers, he'd probably still be here. He pretty much disappeared in the playoffs when he was a Panther.

I wouldnt say he disappeared with us last year, but he was def energized being away from SJ more than i ever seen him play

Yeah, the Barkov celly was epic.

Duclair was fine last year in the playoffs. He is a complimentary winger and he played that way. He wasn't going to win the conn smythe, but he had a solid playoffs in 2023.

Did he learn because he realized that probably was why he was the one deemed expendable, or was that play fueled by some anger that he’s missing out on this year in Sunrise.

The pic of Duke on the bench awaiting Chukky after Carolina elimination goal was upheld is timeless.

damn i forgot to post this in the playoff gdt

Cooper is such a dumb f*** for those comments. Whatever, have the 2 goals back. You lose 6-3 instead of 6-1. Take our empty netters off the board too if you want. You still lose. Sore whiny f***ing loser making comments about Bob like that. Throwing the refs under the bus when they catered to you all series. Degrading women hockey players. Such a class act. Really hope the NHL fines him. Go f*** yourself prick.

End rant. Needed to vent after seeing all the BS this morning.

Gotta love how everyone says refs are on our side yet we usually get 2x more penalties than opponents night in and out.

So many calls against the Panthers go uncalled but we dont wine and dine about it for years

Mr Rock Hands decided a good time to finally hit the net

I don't like it, but I'm a Toronto fan for now. They need to dig deep and drag this out to 7.

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Honestly, I just want to see one playoff series that's not a blowout and doesn't involve the Vegas LTIR Enjoyers.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

congrats guys, hoping for an ECF rematch. if we can't get past NY x2 then would like to see y'all make the SCF again

maybe theyll get addition by subtraction by having their invisible top guys out

Once he scored, it was all over for Tampa.

Did he pick up some French cries for Cooper?

He said he preferred something more feminine like Bobrovsky so he bought skirt steak
