[Five Alarm Fire]

Vasy shutout
Perfect PK
Switch flipped

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

Shutout for Vasy. Good game from the boys today.

 

[God King Fudge]

One hell of a game tonight. That outcome was never in question. They played hard from the jump and really just never let up on Boston.

I needed to see *this* Lightning team before the playoffs. To see them in this game is just a little extra icing.

 

[Matt Watson]

Like I've been telling you guys all along, this team will be fine.

 

[Master P]

f*** YEAH, THATS WHAT WE NEEDED TO SEE. CONSIDER THE SWITCH FLIPPED.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Huge win. This should serve as a reminder of how they have to play to be successful. The shutout couldn't have come at a better time for Vasy either. He'll probably play against the Sabres too so a good performance in that game should get him ready for the playoffs.

Florida just blew chucks in the last couple seconds of there game, Maybe no help for them to beat Boston if no playoff possibility!!

Miller sets a career high in points with that goal, Kucherov passes Stamkos's career high, Tampa sets a franchise high. Good night all around.

Apparently the goal was overturned so they're still alive!

 

[Matt Watson]

Like I've been telling you guys all along, this team will be fine.

But seriously folks, hard to find any faults in that one. They really needed it and they went out and took it. At the very least, it's a good sign.

 

[Bolt 45]

That's the kind of trial run you wanna have heading into the postseason. Well done boys.

OMG. Toronto overturned it!! WOW

 

[The Gongshow]

Very happy with the D pairings tonight. Splitting up Heddy and Strals was smart. Spreads out our pairs.

Girardi played well with Hedman. Saw some 6-27 and 6-98 combos.

Well done.

Who has the tie breaker between us and Boston if we end up tied at seasons end ?

Boston if we're tied in ROW.

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Great game all around. All lines looked good tonight. This team is hard to beat if all four lines are rolling.

 

[Hint1k]

OMG. Toronto overturned it!! WOW

No surprise here. Looks at Schedule. Cats will have 2 games against Boston

 

[T REX]

Wow...Bruin fans losing it. Talk about sour grapes...

This crowd is acting like they won the damn cup​

It sure sounds like it. Poor fans.

They beat a crippled and fatigued roster.

On to the next one.

The fans are cheering because we finally played to our potential. And all things equal and both teams playing at their top game...Tampa is better than Boston. Period.

 

[The Gongshow]

Vasi wasn't overly tested but maid a few big saves, he played well tonight. Good showing.

Kuch and Point were fantastic tonight

We currently lead the first tiebreaker of regulation/overtime wins by 1.

 

[Sky04]

huh? Where are the usual posts?

You're delusional if you think this team can turn around 3 months of poor play this close to the playoffs, out in the first round, every playoff team wishes they were the Leafs right now, etc etc

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[Hoek]

I'm just happy we were able to play our game to the textbook tonight. When we do that we can beat anyone, and this game proves it.
