GDT: 5/6/16 - 7:00PM EDT - #2 Tampa Bay @ #4 New York [ECSF GAME 4]

[Volodya Krutov]

Palat deserves a big unofficial assist on that. His work under pressure was incredible.

He was awarded an assist on Garrison's goal, and plenty deserved indeed.

Carle was absolutely atrocious, a complete, über liability. He had one good pinch, the rest was a giant pile of ****. Come back Anton please !!!

Yeah i want Stralman back asap, don't want this going 7.

Ben? Don't break.

No but he's good just because he's big and he's a headcase too.

 

[DaBolts]

Bishop was the number 1 star tonight. Wow, he took a beating and shut them down.

 

[Todd1a]

Noooo let stralman rest game 5 if it goes game 6 bring him back

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Man I still have my skepticism about this team but they are so ****ing clutch. Proud of them.

Our experience is showing.

 

[DFC]

No but he's good just because he's big and he's a headcase too.

I wouldn't care if he's good because he keeps a magic leprechaun in his jersey. He wins games he has no business winning.

 

[Hockeyfan02]

Somehow are only one win away from a Conference Final with zero contribution from Stamkos or Stralman; especially Stralman.

Never would've believed it a month ago.

 

[DaBolts]

Noooo let stralman rest game 5 if it goes game 6 bring him back

Nah. K is balling now. Let him get more experience. We'll need him in the future.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Oooooh, Coop throwing some shade on the ****** starts.

He does and that's a mark of a true #1 goalie. Sure he'll have a stinker once in a while but those are far and few between and he bounces back every single time. Goaltending position has always been my favourite position in any team sport and I'm loving every second of having a guy like Bish on our team. That's why he's my favourite player on the Bolts.

 

[TampaBayLightning]

I was wondering when Garrison would get one of those bombs on net

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

I am pumped and feeling good.

 

[GollyG]

Haha In an interview with NHL Tonight, Bish calls the team a wolf pack. They don't have one guy beating people up, it's more "if one guy goes, they all go." And Tony mentioned that Wolf Pack reminded him of The Hangover and who was the Zach Galifianakis character. Bish said, "Drouin."

Cap whining about the high stick...took 2 seconds

 

[The Macho King]

Man - I went into these playoffs with such low expectations.

We've had about as cupcake a schedule as a team can to make the CF, but if we do, I'll still be eating crow.

 

[Tampabear]

Of course, in fairness it was the first question

 

[The Macho King]

Cap whining about the high stick...took 2 seconds

That type of mentality goes from top to bottom. It was a missed call - and that sucks. But whining about it does nothing.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Capuano sounds pretty defeated. "Not much more we can ask from our guys. We've played solid games. They're a really good team."

 

[FinnLightning26]

Witkowski with only 2:14 of ice time and he was still +1. #betterthancarle

 

[Stammertime91]

I'm 100% confident in saying we have the best goalie in the playoffs right now. What a pick up it would be if we could get Brown and Stralman soon. I expect Tampa to close this out Sunday. They know they need to be better and will, Bishop is even better in those games too (and I'm not sure how much better you could be than tonight).

I'm surprised we are where we are right now. If we can win Sunday and get all 3 back by the ECF, it's game on.

 

[T REX]

Epic win. Two wins on the road is huge. Gotta win one more then bring on Pitt

 

[Legionnaire11]

What a team, I was confident that they'd win the series, but I really didn't think they'd take a 3-1 lead, especially after game 1.
