Post-Game Talk: 2024 NHL Playoffs - Round 1: Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers | FLA wins 4-1

[DistantThunderRep]

Sheary probably benched for game 1, good start.

So let's say Sergachev is back, who does he play with?

Can't play with Cernak since we need Cernak to be a shutdown pairing.

Can't play with Dumba since it's too similar style and Dumba isn't responsible enough to cover Sergachev jumping in the play.

That leaves Perbix? It worked last year at times, not so much this year.

Lilleberg? But that would mean we have 1 pairing that's solely right handed and one solely left handed? Really awkward.

Looks like Glendenning and Motte should be good to go tomorrow

If Sheary sits we win. Case closed.

Is a 50-75% sergachev better than others? Honestly don’t know. Disappointed that fluery is so far down the line. Hes better than de haan

If we could give him 100% ozone starts, and at home where we have last change. I would assume that we don't want him skating backwards just yet so probably not

No avatars?

 

[Stammertime91]

No avatars?

For four games, no.

Playoffs start after round 1 tbh.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

They brought out Baker for this.

 

[Stammertime91]

If we lose tomorrow:

80% ready to trade everyone, let Stamkos walk, fire Cooper and JBB
10% holding out until game 2 to start joining the 80%
10% optimistic and happy to be here

If we win tomorrow:

80% genuinely surprised we won an afternoon game but still await elimination
10% know game 1 means nothing and await the inevitable loss
10% carrying on with the plan, looking ahead to round 2

I think that covers it.

King

 

[DFC]

We definitely match up better vs. Boston. Florida has a lot more snarl than the last time we played them.

 

[Hoek]

No avatars?

We talked too much about wrestling and nobody made a thread...

I would add that, if we win, those of us that remain pessimistic in here will become insufferable on the main boards for a day or two.

 

[These Are The Days]

You cowards weaseled your way out of wrestling avatars for the last time. I'm figuring out how to do it myself and will have em up next year




/Probably not

Oh, for sure.

And I'll be there for it.

[TheDaysOf 04]

Obviously we lost Game 1 because we didn't have avatars. Here's a temporary fill in until we get them

 

[Rschmitz]

Where are the wrestling avatars? That explains the L!

We make em if we beat Florida! Everybody knows that's when the real playoffs start

 

[ccman68]

we're winning the cup

 

[LightningStrikes]

we're winning the cup

7D or are we going to sit 48 or 24? Probably 78 because it’s Cooper lol.

 

[Stammertime91]

we're winning the cup

Wonder if Cernak got concussed. He took a heavy hit yesterday. Then again, he could've pulled a Dustin Penner and got an injury eating cereal.

If it's to scratch Dumba or Perbix, I'm all for it. Neither should be playing.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

cernak 100% looked hurt after one of the forechecking hits mid-game.

cant wait to see us ice two rookies and two sophomores in the playoffs.

 

[JoVel]

Wonder if Cernak got concussed.

Cernak wouldn't do that.
