Coop with a shout out for the mainboards

 

[Stammertime91]

I should post a sign on my door for Tuesday in case anyone comes up to knock.

"Lightning looking to go back to back, sorry for the noise"

 

[The Gongshow]

The cesspool main boards are hilarious with these hot takes and salt. Half the threads are bitching about us

I'm so glad we cheated to win game 1. Makes me feel so accomplished in this world knowing my team cheated financially.

 

[Sky04]

seriously? Stop... this game could’ve been sealed when we trailed 4-3 & gifting turnovers & quality chances to FLA. We looked totally outplayed & were getting pushed around for minutes on end until we got the PP goal to tie. But stop acting like we deserved this win the entire night. It’s a great finish, but to say this panther team is just gonna “fold” or the games will be easier the rest of the round... get outta here with that arrogance. This is gonna be a battle with a hungry, pissed off team.

Nah, they Guna fold.

Financial cheating is just the tip of the ice burg.

It was one of the best games in recent memory from a pure entertainment standpoint. It had everything.

 

[T REX]

I don't know how superstitious anyone else is in here...but there have been multiple games where I leave for a bathroom break...drink refill at Amalie...walk the dog...and we score all our goals when I am not watching. Not every game but certain ones. When I am watching I only see opponents goals.

No lie...I sacrafice my watching in the hope the trend continues.

It sucks. I am so superstitious. Glad we won. But I had to take one for the team.

I hope this gets on the right track. I still have leftover crow from last year. Defrosting now.

I love you all.

You'll probably wake them and the rest of your neighborhood up though.

cooper rested him too much last year cooper didn’t rest him

?

The GD pandemic rested him last year.

 

[BoltzManConstant]

So this is the switch people were talking about right? Not the same thing we've been seeing against the Panthers all year?

Also Savard's go to move on defense is backing up as far as he can until he hits Vasi.

God, you people are tiresome when we're losing.

Such fantastic prognostication. Yes, this team looked exaaaaactly the same with Kuch back.

Well I gotta say I haven’t been too impressed with savard either since his arrival. He looks slow, tentative, & his gap control isn’t what I’d expect from a defensive dman. And anyone choosing to keep him over McD I think will regret it. Cap hit & RHD needs aside, McD brings more to this team. Torts & his brand of overachieving, boring hockey had a way of making 58 look better. Maybe he’ll prove me wrong the rest of the way. I hope he does

That's got nothing to do with Savard. Win, lose or draw Savard has been "just" short of terrible in his time here. Do not want him back. You have to look to Patrick Marleau with Pittsburgh to find a bigger TDL flop than this guy and at least they only gave up a 3rd that would've been a 1st had they won the Cup. Whatever Savard brings he needs to hurry up and do it.

Wish we traded for Montour instead.

Yeah, it's not the Savard part of his comment I disagreed with. It's the pissing and moaning that it's the exact "same thing we've been seeing against the Panthers all year", because we were down one damn goal.

And not sure what straw man you're beating on, but yes, if you ignore all cap considerations I'm pretty sure anyone would prefer to keep McDonagh for the short term.

hard to recognize trolling with all the overreactive, knee jerk, ignorant, ice cold takes that permeate these boards on a daily basis. But when that face smack feels like a Tyler Johnson wrist shot, it’s basically undetectable

 

[BoltzManConstant]

Yes, it had nothing to do with Savard.

Thought that was obvious, but my apologies -- I was responding to the main topic of Sky's comment, not the "also" aside he threw in at the end.

 

[These Are The Days]

And Rutta needs to get it together. That blue line turnover and subsequent episode of flailing about hoping it was gonna stop Huberdeau gave me flashbacks of some dumb thing Andrej Sustr would've done. Dude makes me miss Zach Bogosian. Let that sink in for a minute

Yeah written in the first where we played like dogshit, must be nice to come after the game and retroactively post with result in mind.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Kuch back in prime form. Oh god how I've missed that beautiful bastard.

There's a lot to correct here with the amount of awful turnovers but a win is a win especially in the playoffs.

 

[LightningStrikes]

To be fair that no goal call on Florida was weak.
