Pre-Game Talk: 2018 NHL Playoffs Round 1: (1) Tampa Bay Lightning vs (WC2) New Jersey Devils

[These Are The Days]

Don't know if you boys and girls saw this on the Playoffs board yet but if you choose to participate I'm a steal with the 3rd Overall pick.

Will you actually contribute? I have a pick in mind but if you can make me laugh then you're in. HF Lightning is needs to loosen up some more

What do you mean? It's always sunshine and rainbows here.

Scouts say one of the biggest attributes to my game is sense of humor and ability to adapt and learn new systems. High hockey (posting) IQ. Voted Most Objective on the esteemed (haha) Blackhawks board numerous times. Former Tampa area resident for a one season stint. Would consider home-town discount to remain a board contributor next season.

Seems like another Brett Connolly to me.

*drops gloves, slides up sleeves and elbow pads* Wanna go, pretty boy?

 

[These Are The Days]

Impressive. Keep this up and I forgo next year's pick and trade to 1st overall

*laughs in Chiarelli*

Where's our Canes bandwagoner with the MS Paint avi? I miss them.

The Canes fans are not even going to try this year

Just a reminder that you guys are on the clock for the HF Hawks draft, so you have to start deciding if you can tolerate Blue Liner for what could be a long playoff run...

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Let's grab him. A sense of humor and willingness to drop the gloves is a Good Thing. Plus he's got a bit of hometown cred.

Yeah I vote blue liner.

I joined after our last playoff run so how does this work? Do we vote here in this thread and then who goes and grabs our draft pick????

It's already been made, you get Blue Liner. Basically though, it's whoever the first Bolts fan to go and pick an available name once your group's turn came.

But someone just did that moments ago, so your stuck with BL (sorry).

LOL Thanks, I think?

 

[Blue Liner]

You will take me you will like it! No, really, you will.

I would like to first thank the great Tampa fans near and far for this opportunity. I couldn't think of a better place to call (my second) home. Second, I'd like to thank God and the Academy...wait, wrong speech.

As I said before,I think, I did live in the area for about year from 2015-2016 and have missed it terribly since leaving. I lived in Palm Harbor but worked on Davis Islands. Born and raised in Chicago, lived in Phoenix for three years, played hockey since the age of 6 up through college, work in the game still and it's always a part of me. Liked the Lightning even before moving there, but having lived there and seen how much the community was into the team and hockey it really made me an even bigger fan. It's a wonderful hockey market that's only continuing to grow and this will be fun to "jump on board" for what oughta be a good run.

Welcome @Blue Liner

Will you be requiring a bandwagon avatar?

 

[Blue Liner]

That is the board's call. If someone wants to make one I'll toss 'er up there.

 

[Brie]

After last year I'm really excited that to just get going. I'm going to miss game 1 though but I hope to see them really show us what they are made off and go out there and play the way we know they can.

That means nothing if you're not at the parking lot.

 

[The Macho King]

WHAT A REACH at pick #3. I swear.

Who says I'm not?

WHAT A REACH at pick #3. I swear.

I'm about as much a reach as Stamkos was.

You’re not really a lightning poster until you’ve been “hosed” and you make a really long winded post about how you knew it all along.

Only two more sleeps to go!
