Blame the non-Leafs fan bringing up the Leafs on his own, unprompted.

 

[These Are The Days]

Staaahhhhppppp with the Leafs u guyz!!!


Lomberg is a greasy piece of rat shit and Bob is laughable in the playoffs


Back on track

 

[noncents]

Lomberg, Tkachuk, Cousins and Bennett are gonna attempt murder probably 6 times each and probably injure half the Lightning lineup by game 3 alone. The Lightning used to be by far the nastiest team in the league but all the dogs are gone now.

agreed that Cats are the nastier boiz on the whole, but Paul/Jeannot/Eyssimont are fairly scummy and oh yeah Kuch the dirtiest superstar in the league.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Who attempts murder first? Kucherov or Bennett?

 

[Chaos2k7]

Who attempts murder first? Kucherov or Bennett?

Murder, suicide hopefully

 

[Soul Assumption]

Tampa in 7. Duclair with series winning goal!

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

In 2021 and '22, the Panthers opened up at home against the Lightning, and both times they dropped both games to begin the series.

Game 1 on the road is awesome. Chance to grab control nice and early. I think if I'm being honest that Florida must be considered decently sized favorites in this series, but I also said the exact same thing in 2022 with the expectation that Brayden Point was gonna miss time, and we saw what happened there.

I'm just disappointed I'm not in Hungary. I was there in 2022 for all four games of that series. Good ju-ju and all that stuff.

Lomberg puts his milk in the bowl before cereal.

Lomberg also wears socks and sandals

Lomberg says "ahhh" after every sip of water

Not too often is there such an even matchup in round 1. These teams look near identical on-paper.

Went with Florida in 6. I think they're hungry while Tampa is tired. Plus I voted a bit with my heart.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

I expect Florida to win but wouldn't put money on it.
Tampa is not an easy out.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Florida's PP has been dogshit lately. Hopefully special teams don't end up deciding this one.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Everything to me depends on how Florida is playing defensively. Up until a few weeks ago, I would have had no doubt Florida would play strong defense. Now I'm not sure. If they leave Bob out to dry, it could a very tough series, with the edge to Tampa.

[SatanicToedrag]

I got Panthers in 7 but it could also be Tampa in 4 because that's how much I know about hockey.

I'm actually a huge fan of starting out on the road. You basically just need to grab 1 game to come back home feeling confident.

Game 7 on the road, obviously, is a downside of this.

 

[SpezDispenser]

This is a tough matchup for the Panthers. Pretty much the worst possible outcome.

 

[M2Beezy]

Best series of the first round, could really go either way, probably 7. I have the Panthers with the edge, so them in 7

Ehhhh I disagree with Paul and Ace but you're spot on about Kucherov. Dude is Marchand bad sometimes. If Sergachev was available I'd feel just a little better. He mixes it up a lot

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

panthers in 6. Gonna be a nasty nasty series. Fists will be flying

 

[Desert Panther]

Biggest L for Tampa is no Weegar to hand tgem a game or 2

Unfortunately, Kulikov plays that role just as well if not better.

 

[thekernel]

Tampa in 7. There's only so much Bobrovsky can do
