Congrats Jackets Fans! It was a great game, and a great series. You guys are a much better team then a lot of people give you credit for. Pretty disappointing result for us though.

I also want to say you guys are a classy bunch which is nice and rare to see around here.

I will surely be rooting for you guys in the next round! Best of luck jackets fans!

I'm starting to like being drunk all day so I don't mind.

 

[KCbus]

Crap.

 

[Fro]

I get out of work at 3pm now lol perfect

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

We'd better learn to start playing well in games that start earlier than 7:00 PM

 

[Socks]

Ok once again I say seriously? 3pm? What the absolute shit?

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Hmm I am conflicted here.

The question is whether we win by 50 or 100

 

[CBJWerenski8]

in before @CBJWennberg10 says we have absolutely no chance and that we'll be lucky to win a game.

well yeah, no shit. I’m taking Tampa in 5. This roster isn’t even near that one

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Ok once again I say seriously? 3pm? What the absolute shit?

yeah I’m mad too but whatever

 

[Fro]

Fragile stammer and poss no heddy? Matched with poss return of 77? Let's go!

 

[ViD]

well yeah, no shit. I’m taking Tampa in 5. This roster isn’t even near that one

I raise the stakes and say Columbus in 6. They might be missing Hedman and Stamkos and we might get Anderson back

That’s why I gave us a game. Maybe two if they’re still shaken up.

I would like to know what your reasoning is ?

Without Hedman they’re basically Toronto with a better goalie. Great offense and an okay defense playing a similar style to the Leafs.

 

[Robert]

We suck in afternoon games... Torts needs to bubble us into alternate reality, we suck in the afternoon..

 

[McOilers97]

Just want to drop in and say congrats to you guys. Now go f*** over the Lightning again.

ya game 2 was a 2 pm start

let's hope that early start garbage doesn't continue

 

[Kupo]

You guys have such a likable, blue collar, hard working team.

Congrats on bending Toronto over and good luck next round. There are quite a few Rangers fans rooting for you guys the rest of the playoffs.

Without Hedman they’re basically Toronto with a better goalie. Great offense and an okay defense playing a similar style to the Leafs.

They have way better depth than Toronto does and have more firepower than we do. Top end talent isn’t even close (even with those injuries). They severely out do us in forwards, we out do them in Defense, and goaltending is theirs.

Unlike Toronto however, there is the revenge factor. They’re going to be licking their lips going into this series, and I’m pretty sure we don’t have the horses to stay with them this time.

Our powerplay being as bad as it is really hurts any odds of us advancing. I do agree it is SIMILAR to the Toronto series, but I think Tampa plays an overall better team defense Than Toronto does. Plus, they’re battle tested and have a good special teams.
