NHL 2018-19 Stanley Cup Playoffs II

[Coach Parker]

And look at what Stone and Duchene have been doing in these playoffs since the trade deadline...wow. Imagine either in the Black and Gold right now?

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

So the path to the ECF goes through Toronto and Columbus? Gut check time Bruins.

One at a time. Need to win a round before even mentioning ECF

 

[Chief Nine]

Wonder how Steve Yzerman feels right now. Has to be odd knowing he left and then this happened

while a reverse sweep is a truly monumental achievement, at the end of the day it's still a series that went 7 games.

To have such a storied season and then get swept in the first round is definitely a bigger upset and bigger badge of shame.

By an 2WC team that has never won a playoff round in team history

 

[Fenian24]

So the more physical, not as talented as the new age super team lightning, with all that speed and skill and no grit, gets knocked off by the bigger, more physical, better coached team who looked at their window of opportunity and went for it.

So happy for Columbus, McQuaid, Foligno, Anderson, Dubinsky andTorts.

 

[Fenway]

Hasn’t happened before correct?

Lightning make history after getting swept in first round

 

[Bruinaura]

You can get a ribeye out of a mouse?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwww

man I really thought Columbus was going to miss the playoffs after giving up all those assets. Now those deadline moves (and keeping Panarin) look brilliant. Well for now at least...if they lose in round 2 they still are in a tough spot with their roster, but you gotta respect their GM going for it, sneaking in and then staging this massive upset.

Glad it was them and not the Bruins.

Tampa radio was hysterical to listen tonight - Phil Esposito better be put on a suicide watch.

 

[Olden McGroin]

Hard to believe all that firepower was stuffed by the Jackets D. After Jones and Werenski, it was a bunch of no name guys like Kukan, Harrington and Glendening. Great job by Torts and his assistants

 

[Coach Parker]

So there's a good chance that the Islanders and Columbus will both get a week + off before playing another game.

 

[Chief Nine]

There must be a ton of loyal Penguin fans torn between leaving and staying right now

Their PBP guy is a freaking psycho

Relieved he doesn’t have to figure out wtf happened and where to go from here.

Supposedly the worst kept secret is him going to Detroit

 

[Bruinaura]

I said in the GDT for the Tampa game where they raised the banner that I would spend all summer laughing if they got knocked out in the first round, after that.

Well.... I'm starting now... And it's mid-April....

HahahahahahaHahahahahahaHahahahahahaHahahahahahaHahahahahahaHahahahahahaHahahahahahaHahahahahahaHahahahahaha

For people thinking Columbus makes the road easier...they just spanked a team that won 62 games. I'd be surprised if CLB is an easy out in round two and this B's group is showing they have a hard time showing up with any level of consistency.

Road is never easy no matter who you play.

Columbus plays the same style as the Bruins top to bottom. I'd love to watch that intensity for a best of 7.

They’re playing with nothing but house money from here on

Not “loyal” if you leave a playoff game, no matter the score

 

[OV]

Time to pull Murray

 

[Coach Parker]

Wow, Penguins cannot get a shot through.

 

[Memokerobi]

Forgetting the Champs are we not

Not at all. I said it will be tough but its anyone’s to win right now

 

[Mainehockey33]

I want tears.

Jack Edward's on steroids. Just a bonus to Tampa getting bounced is his summer getting ruined.
