Need more from Points line, not the same without Palat. Making very little impact.

At the end of the day, just win

Girardi has had so many big blocks. He has a great feel for it. Every time I look up he’s getting a block. Well worth his contract this year. Of course, Cally, McD and others have blocked a lot of shots, too. But G stands out.

Some of you I guess weren't paying attention in 04 when we won the cup. That team also sat back and let the other team dictate play until it cost them in game 6 against Philly. Lesson learned. Game 7 they had the full court press up until the buzzer and they won. Are you all going to argue that Tort's told that team to hang back too? It's the players who ultimately dictate the pace, stop blaming Cooper.

A trip back to the finals is becoming a reality. 2 games left to get 1 win.
A trip to the finals is nice, but if we want to win the Cup, that abortion we watched tonight won't cut it. If by some miracle Wpeg comes back, we can hang with them because they play the way we do, but Vegas, buzzing around like a million f**king gnats and never quitting on any shift, they scare me. We just don't play full games the way they do.

If we played with the work ethic they do we’d be unstoppable.

Gourde has been the biggest disappointment for me of these playoffs, he has not been effective on that line at all. Swap him again
I agree for the most part, but, he's a rookie playing like a rookie in his first playoff appearance. Been watching Laine at all? He got a much stronger pedigree and he looks as lost as Gourde most of the time.

Abortion? You watched the 1st right? What do the Lightning need to do in order for people (not saying you in specific) to be satisfied? We're playing the freaking Caps. They are actively attempting to win and are going to make pushes back. Tonight was the epitome of a garbage time game. All the Lightning had to do was just not get hurt. The game was in the bag as soon as the 3rd goal was scored because no one was getting that much on Vasy with how dialed in he was tonight

The first 20 minutes and then score effects. I don't want to look ahead just yet.

Vasy is the reason we have a 3-2 series lead gutless hockey by this team and cooper in the 2nd and 3rd period . You can’t trap for 40 mins only up 3-1

Just a difference in philosophy, I guess. When you have a team on the run, you keep charging. I don't think anyone could argue that is what we even attempted to do. Do the Caps have talent and Ovie? Sure, but we've been watching inferior teams come back on us all season because we let them. That is the way I see it.

Loved the way this team played tonight. Gutsy effort. Hung tough and got the win. Excellent stuff. Might be my favorite win so far this postseason.

Sorry man, that is total BS. We have watched this team let other teams back into games all season long. You dance with the one that brung ya, and what brung us to where we are is a relentless, attacking O and forecheck. I won't go so far as to say TB wins despite Cooper, but they don't win because of him either. I could, any of us could, coach the talent on this team to 45 wins.

A fair point about looking ahead, but I guess my point is, do any of us really care if we just win the Eastern Conference? I know I don't.
