This is intense playoff hockey I don't think we have seen since the Canucks Blackhawks days. These teams loathe each other and every whistle is an event.

Has the battle of fla been that physical when they played each other these past two seasons?

not sure.

i imagine they are juiced by the nearly full crowd too.

 

[LordBacon]

That’s some Sedin like pass holy f***

 

[LordBacon]

Apparently vasilevski made a save on stamkos according to the announcers lol

 

[DustyMartellaughs]

This is, and will remain, a very chippy series. The animosity is organic.

Tampa's D has been making a lot of mistakes.

 

[LordBacon]

Uh oh. 6on4 incoming

 

[LordBacon]

Tie game

 

[CherryToke]

man what a sweet goal

 

[timw33]

Kucherov hasn't missed a beat. What a player.

 

[canuckking1]

PK is where Flordia misses Ekbald the most. Getting killed

 

[LordBacon]

absolutely love the way panthers play.
Also Mr.Sweet young and 18 literally costed them two goals this game

Going to feel the absence somewhere sooner or later.

 

[M2Beezy]

Tampa special teams killing it. 3 PP goals and a shorty

 

[Gstank]

This tampa game is fantastic

 

[LordBacon]

Point! HOLY SHIT

 

[LordBacon]

Best game I’ve seen in years,
credit to both teams for their efforts

 

[Breakers]

I’m 50/50 on blaming forsling for the point goal.

I mean he’s completely wide open and weegar 100% should have passed it to him.

On the other hand, why are you pressing that hard with a minute left

it’s tough

I agree, it's 50/50. He shouldn't have pinched. But Point was already in full flight.

The Kucherov cap bullshit is a f***ing joke.

And Sam Bennet is an ass clown for taking that penalty.

Vancouver was $7.5MM over the cap in 2010-11 in the playoffs. People should be more mad that their managers aren't smart enough to take advantage of things like that than at the move itself, which was brilliant.

 

[vanarchy]

Almost as if he's been ready for a while and couldn't return for... reasons.

As much as there is much finger pointing that Tampa was in cahoots, it's a testament to how much depth they've built on that team to survive a season without Kucherov and missing Stamkos for a big chunk as well.

yep. You’re either smart enough to game the system or dumb enough to lose. The Canucks used to be one and now they are the other.
