We Gon' Lose.

 

[Stammertime91]

No Ace, Cernak and possibly no Heddy?
@DistantThunderRep get the alcohol ready
Shout to the GDT king @TheDaysOf 04
Let's hope we can throttle Samsonov some more
We all know that puck crossed the line
Add another Canadian team to the list that likes to whine
We all know a team that'd give us hell
So lucky Buffalo isn't our opponent ain't that right? @JoVel
Sheldon Keefe, why did you challenge that, are you dumb?
We all know a degenerate that wouldn't, his name - @Coopers Gum
Let's be real, this is the one we lose real bad
Taking all our joy and leaving us sad
At the end of the day, we still have the goat @LightningStrikes
Game management in store, cut the mics
Features back after a game 1 win you see,
Go ahead and do the Carlton @DFC

Poetry record: 1-0

Suck a nutsack Michael Bitchting.

This will be a tough one, we have to come out as strong as the last game because Leafs will go for it and be desperate.

Go Bolts!

 

[JoVel]

If we properly step on their throats tonight, that whole team full of mental midgets will have their heads all the way at the golf course already. Let's not give them anything to build confidence on.

If anyone was uncertain, unsure, or ill-informed of what the soul of Leaf Nation looks like, just watch this video.

Then watch it again... and again, one more time.

Fast forward:

*Exaggeration
*"World is Ending" Fatalism
*Contradiction (Doesn't agree with suspension/ doesn't disagree with the discipline of Bunting)
*Casting Blame - League Discipline (kinda right about that, truthfully)
*Signaling "League Hates Bunting"
*Call outs (aka Casebuilding the Scapegoat > Tavares not worth $11m annually)
*Downplay of some issues (major) and magnifying the others (that are minor)

We are going be short some talent on the back end. I don't care how we do it but just win. I believe in the players and Cooper to figure it out. I believe in the Leafs choking more though. Let's go Lightning!

3 games is sort of surprising. I'm okay with it, but I was only anticipating 1.

This guy, Sid Sexiero, has a career as a sports radio guy in Toronto. What he's not really acknowledging is that what the team says to the media is more about their own room. Incongruous statements can make more sense if you reconsider the target of the message. Turning over tables probably isn't the thing they need when the pressure is already immense. That'd likely overwhelm them. Guys that can keep the team from getting too amped up might be what's needed. It seems that Keefe can go a bit nuts sometimes.

I caught the Kyper and Bourne stream yesterday and like the segment starting at 33:45

Oh the tears in Toronto when the Lightning win tonight. It'll be glorious.

Go Bolts!!!!

 

[Lightning1995]

Step on their throats

 

[FinnLightning26]

I don't expect it but f*** me, it would be glorious to come back home up 2-0.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Let's go !!!

[TheDaysOf 04]

So there’s already an excuse that should be thawed out and ready to cook by tonight

 

[CDN24]

He called them the Tampa bay Rays..... Sid seems to have moved on to baseball.
