Post-Game Talk: 2022 NHL Playoffs - Round 2: Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers | 4-0 WIN

[LordZapp]

Panthers are scary, but weirdly i like this matchup better than toronto. Cambell legit had me thinking we were going golfing, bobs i know we can beat.

 

[Ducati Boy]

I think the same game 7 strategy as used against the Leafs could do well against the panthers.

Concede the outside, let their flashy forwards pass it around, and go for blocks in the shooting lanes (as deflections are not Vasi’s strength).

Against their D, drive to the net for one good chance through the middle as the Florida defense can be pulled out of position like the Leafs’ D were. Don’t give them time to set up a D box.

And as much as I hate to say this: I really hope the Tampa Bay area domestic abuse hotline gets a lot of action in the next two weeks.”

Lmao. Panthers fans rooting for woman beating. Florida fan = Florida man.

Are our Games 1-4 confirmed for Mon, Wed, Fri, Sun yet?

There’s a website that says 2 games will be on ESPN those days (early and late time slot). Gotta imagine we’d be playing then for the early time slots since there’s no way CAR/NYR-PIT will play tomorrow.

What the heck is wrong with some people

Maybe I’m just feeling good after last night, but IMO that version of Toronto probably beats Florida? Toronto played extremely well for basically every game of the series except for Game’s 2 and 4. Florida is extremely good no doubt but I do think we have a shot if Vasy is rounding into form and we get Point back during the series. Washington seemed to give Florida issues even 5v5 on zone exits, which is like the #1 no no vs. Cooper’s system.

Lomberg and Marchment punching bag season. But seriously the panthers PP was abysmal against the caps if their special team is ass this is easily our series. But play disciplined boys!!!

 

[bigdaddio]

Florida and Toronto play a similar game. We adjusted to Toronto better as the series went on. One thing for sure, I don't see us getting decimated in faceoffs like we did against the Leafs. That was their edge they would roll out Matthews every offensive faceoff and win about 2/3rds of them. That is such an advantage that hopefully we don't have to face.

Between that and the one disturbing Cats fan on Twitter that keeps posting about how the GM and various players have permission to do their mom...

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Caps outplayed Panthers. I don't think Panthers will play as well as Leafs did in 1st round but even so we depend on Vasi playing like game 7 or we will not win this

 

[LordZapp]

I worry about huberdeau doing what he did to us last year. It seemed like our defense couldn't do shit about him constantly entering our zone with ease and creating scoring opportunities. I like our chances if we slow him down more than we did last year. Those high scoring games were mostly due to us not having an answer for him. Also think we shouldnt overlook the fact that they have ekblad and a healthy Barkov who I belive got hurt mid series last year. Last year Hedman was average, so hopefully he continues his level of play. Still like this more than Toronto, because Florida's offense I don't feel is quite as potent and we might actually be able to win some face offs..

Florida Man jokes are played out and pretty lame. Also, he was obviously not seriously rooting for domestic violence.

Hey thanks for defending Florida man, the panthers, and assigning intent to an unknown poster in another unmemorable post, @Flat Ronnie

Really, just solid post to defend domestic abuse jokes. You really shouldered that burden.

I think I'm better off not asking what/who the messages above are referring to.

Lol lighten up, Francis. Florida Man jokes are lazy and unfunny. I dont give two f***s about the Panthers and have been posting on here as a Lightning fan since like 04. And you just contradicted yourself by admitting that the dude was telling a JOKE (regardless of how tasteless it was) and wasn't really calling for domestic violence.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Bro I am playoff posting and the argue gears are greased up

Do we know anything about Point? I hope he's ok.

@RussianGuyovich youre backing down from this?

Ekblad is also on one leg. Playing injured right now. Also, i can't believe how young he is. Thought he was like 28 or 29 and the dude is 26. f***.

He's definitely a point of concern to say the least.

 

[LightningStrikes]

They have one-legged Ekblad, we have no-hips Point. Who wins?

[Stammertime91]

Seen better comebacks from an lowly broon than this

 

[Lightning1995]

Are we really gonna play tomorrow when it hasn’t been announced yet?
