Could not agree more with this. Either the pending matchup with Boston wakes our boys up beforehand, which I am good with, or they kick the ever-living-$h*t out of us and that wakes us up moving forward. I am proud as hell of this team and am okay with either outcome, knowing we're going to kick a$$ moving forward.I think a game against Boston is just what the doctor ordered. Tampa has been sleeping through the last few games. Now maybe that's because they knew they could get 2 points without their best effort, or maybe they're just in a funk.
Either way, tonight will be a nice kick in the ass. Either Tampa comes to play and play hard, or Boston wipes the floor with us. I'll be happy with either outcome, honestly.
I would much rather go into the playoffs on a 28 game winning streak..All right board, what will the gloom and doom stance be this week,
Would you rather lose to the Bruins? "We can't play other top teams" "They'll be lucky to make it out of the 2nd round" "Not tough enough" "Not physical enough" "Should've traded for Simmonds"
or
Would you rather lose to the Sens? "Not ready for playoffs" "Mentally weak" "Can't even beat an AHL team, how are we going to win a cup?" "Fire Cooper"
I want us to win. Give us all the records. We are the globetrotters of the NFL. Let these peasants bow down so more threads on the main board can be made about us. Roll tide.
