Remember back in the day when our 2C could score? Hope that happens this series.

I mean even when Cirelli was “scoring” it wasn’t like it was nice goals.

He was getting a bit lucky with his hands. I just wish he played with the same intensity and forecheck

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

We’re in trouble people! It’s been a hell of a ride! Let’s hope next year we are healthy and don’t lose too much off the roster.

RIP playoffs 5/11/2021 - 5/11/2021

Excited as hell to actually attend some playoff hockey game. Let's do this boys!

Bolts in 5.

 

[The Gongshow]

We need McDonagh and Cernak to play lights out

We need Vasi to get out of his slump

And we need Kuch and Point to click like they did last year

Hedman bottom pair minutes and PP time

 

[RussianGuyovich]

be careful of these plucky panthers, they remind me a lot of a 2019 tampa bay lightning playoff team

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

Flip the switch time. No excuses, lets go.

 

[The Gongshow]

Show them which franchise has 2 Stanley Cups and which has 0

Walcott-Smith-Joseph is our top line for the playoffs now, right?

Pre-game: Because this deserves the whole thing and not just some random Wolverine gif

 

[Byrddog]

Not sure what to expect I know this the Panthers are far more physical than we are. Barkov is a damn beast and his little buddy Verhaghe then Hubby, VArtinao they have some good talent thats hungry. There D is Mehhh without Ekblad oh did I mention they are for the most part healthy. This could be a war if our guys get healthy if not we my go home whimpering like the Blues last year.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Hope the guys have another long run in them. Health will be key and how quickly Kuch and Stammer are able to get back into the game. Especially the intensity of the playoffs. Stamkos came back and scored a goal in that playoff game. Not expecting that from both Stamkos and Kucherov but would be positive sign if at least one of them is able to click offensively and help provide some of that scoring we will need. Hope this will be a good series that we look fondly back on. Obviously with us winning it. Most of all, just want to see drunk kuch again.

Can't wait to see the stupid minors Maroon is going to take in the first two games to piss everyone off.

Gameplan: Selfish Hockey

*Skate the Puck
*Coast to Coast
*Shots from poor angles
*Buck and a half, 2 minute shifts - 3 minutes even
*Bad bounces = good breakaway - gotta get bounces

*Retaliation penalties!

"They don't ask how, they ask how many!"

Worth it to get them to say "Oh shit, we're playing the Tampa Bay Lightning"

I have a feeling he'll work extra hard to accidentally fall on Bob about six times in the first game.

Fat Pat's got to put that weight to good use.

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

I'm going to take my 2,020th post (on this account) to remind everyone that the Lightning were the 2020 Stanley Cup champions.
