Guess the Panthers are done. 6 points back with only 8 points left for grabs. Please don't injure us #FloBros.

 

[Brie]

I know we have a lot of injuries right now but I still felt that last game was ok so I hope we keep working hard even if we don't win so that we have a good mentality going into the PO.

 

[Boltsppy]

Really looking for this game, it'll first time I see Koekkoek play. Panthers are in tough situation now, but there's still chance for them, you know how are Wings playing. And Ottawa is playing Capitals tonight

 

[Outl4w]

Let`s go Lightning! i hope we set franchise records today!

 

[IdealisticSniper]

Panthers are done. So we need this win tonight to pull into tie for Division lead with Montreal. Hopefully the offense comes back.

Plus... Governors cup.

 

[Bolto]

Realistically the Panthers are done, a regulation loss tonight means they're really done. I expect them to give a maximum effort tonight.

Honestly I'm pretty indifferent about the rest of our games. I'm just ready for the playoffs.

Yep. I do want to beat Boston though.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

We want the cup! We want the cup!

Go Lightning

I feel the same way , wanted to see some personal records broken but it's more important to keep these guys healthy and rested and be ready for the playoffs. i just want us to secure home ice for at least the first round think we need a point or a lost point from Detroit to clinch it.

 

[Coopers Gum]

So when do the beards come out? After the last game of the season, or the first game of the postseason?

I shave for the final time the morning the playoffs officially start. Then I don't touch it until we're eliminated/win it all.

 

[Brie]

Bishop is 1st of the ice so he'll start tonight. Johnson could be in, said he's feeling well but is game-time decision.

 

[LordZapp]

I have a bad feeling about tonight game. Hopefully nobody gets injured.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

What's the policy for the Governor's Cup if we split the games with FL?

 

[PullHard]

Do you guys know if Johnson is playing today?

 

[Brie]

[PullHard]

Damn, alright thanks for the info

If Florida wins in regulation, they win five points compared to Tampa Bay's four, so I imagine the Cup would go to them.

Hey, from a purely idealistic stand point, have any of us made any decision about whether #1 in the division is better than #2? No? Me neither.

Depends on who is at #3 and #4. I want Detroit first round. Whichever spot has us playing them is what is best.

Think we should try and go for the division. Will give us home ice for at least the first two rounds, and with the way the WC are going, could be basically anyone they play first round even Detroit if they continue to fall.

Also, With at least an OT/SO loss we secure home ice for the first round. So there is still a lot to play for, imo. Can't just settle for what we have, and need to get hot again going into the playoffs. Scoring has been down.

Sticking with the #2 spot can get us Boston if Detroit continues to fall.
