91 can play better. Maybe he’s hurt, maybe not. Let’s see if his play improves next round.

But that’s not the focus right now for me. I though the Bolts played an excellent series. Trailed for about 10 minutes. Without Stammer really finding it.

This team is deep. Stammer may be needed at some point to win a cup. Let’s see if he finds it. But this team is deep enough to win without Stammer producing at a high level. Til then survive and advance. Mission accomplished.

Go Bolts!

Honestly I have lost hope on Stamkos. He struggles every freaking playoffs. I mean we got Killorn and Johnson who step it up during playoffs, so I guess overall it is a wash. Just I don't expect anything from him anymore. Hes a guy for the regular season. On the other hand,we have Kucherov. Who is a god among men when it comes during the playoffs. So I guess in the end it washes out.

LET'S GO BOLTS!
I'm very happy for this series: we've played a good hockey in these 5 game, against a nice team like the Devils.
Now in the second round, I hope to meet Toronto, but probably it'll be Boston.
But now it's ok.
THANK YOU GUYS!!!
:bolts

So I was curious so I checked:

Devils had the lead for 10:12 this series.

Tampa had the lead for 193:55 this series.

Lol. So close.

If there's something I've learned about the internet it's that people love to be contrarians online, especially if it means they can be smug about it later. Notice how many of the people saying that this series is closer than it seems because blah blah vasy has been bad lately or the PK for Tampa sucks have gone silent.

Go Go TJ!!
I'm sure that shot is one of the best from the series. Shows TJ can fly or stapled to the glass or something. That is where we got on to the winning hockey also.
Well i like him. at PO games TJ better than #91. Will be interesting if coach would reunite TRIPLETS

I'm beginning to wonder if his "I'll never feel 100% again" comment was his way of saying, "I'll still produce, but probably not the way I have in the past."

When has he ever produced in the playoffs? Great person and regular season player but he always disappears in the postseason.

Aside from getting a little frustrated with Miller, and Stamkos looking pretty flat-footed, this was a good game, good series. We did a lot of things right, had a lot of players making big and small plays.

Schneider was incredible here. Kuch could have had a hat trick pretty easily.

And, was it just me, or did we turn Taylor Hall into a liability for most of that game? It was pretty awesome to see him turning pucks over under pressure.

I was really impressed when these guys brought up the issue the other day and said they should stop respecting Hall that much. Since I can't quote them now here's the link just in case

I think the ice conditions were pretty horrible in this one, so I kind of give him a pass on a couple of things, but he seemed to be reacting slowly. Like, the puck's in his feet and the goalie's down, and suddenly he looks like the regular season version of Alex Killorn and can't seem to get his stick down. It's like watching somebody else's nightmare.
