ECQF: (1) Tampa Bay Lightning vs. (WC2) New Jersey Devils | Tampa Leads Series 3-1

[RussianGuyovich]

I'm not fan of either of the teams, but its so funny to read Lightning fan's comments
about New Jersey, Devils and their fans, when their own city, team, franchise, fans....
are not much to be proud of. - no offence -

Tampa Bay Lightning are supposedly contenders each year, yet always
your team finds ways to fail, only 1 fluky Stanley Cup for the franchise,
many years ago (14), few division wins and couple of conference's
and you think you are soooo much better than the most.

Your franchise is nothing compared to Devils franchise,
theirs is legendary, with legendary HOF players, total of 18 titles,
yes...your team IS better and have better PLAYERS...at the moment
but you shouldn't act like ***** because of it.

And lets not forget, your lone cup came in 2004, their last, 2003.

This years Devils are really good, if Tampa doesn't improve
your team will fail, yet again.

Aren't you that guy who thinks Pulkkinen is good?

 

[Blackjack]

I'd like to point out that I live about 5000 miles away from Florida.

I'm jealous.

Aren't you up past your bedtime?

Yup. I have a hard time going to sleep when my hockey team that I root for curb stomps the competition.

I know how you feel. I've had a couple sleepless nights lately.

Good, tonight is your night to catch up.

 

[Blackjack]

You guys are good sports. Good luck the rest of the way.

Here's the TLDR version :


Tampa Bay Sucks; The Devils Do Not.


That's what I got from it.

Tampa is not only where old, dying NY/NJ folk go to retire, but also where washed up former Rag turds like McDonagh and Callahan go to play.
The fact that their team can't win a cup with what is probably the most stacked roster in the NHL is pathetic. If they don't win a cup in the next 2-3 years it will be among the biggest failures in NHL history, even more-so than Ovi and the Caps not winning.

Oh, and Taylor Hall>Kucherov or any other player on Tampa's roster AINEC.

God damn this thread is a mess from both sides.

At least earlier on some of the digs were funny, now they're just tired old cliches or second grade insults.

So what's your point? It's playoff hockey banter. Not an intellectual debate on the finer points of etiquette.

Hedman deserves a one game nap after that spear to the groin of Nico. Absolutely vile and disgusting, and that's what led to all the craziness at the end. Also loved Boyle going at the Tampa players while laughing. Dude faced down cancer, like those guys were going to intimidate him.

I really like when someone uses information from a crystal ball as a fact.

Have you seen our Head Coach?

You can literally see a crystal ball on his head.

Actually NJD players started it after loss of game 1, continued it after loss of game 2. So in game 3 Tampa players simply payed back with the same money.

 

[Emperoreddy]

If NJ can find a way to tip the special teams battle they can absolutely win this series.

that's the one area they're actively receding.

jersey's best hope is that schneider returns from this game without injury, and they ride the hot goaltender to three more wins.

Tell us how you really feel.

In case people still had doubts Hall would rise to the occasion in the playoffs.

I just hope we're all square after 4.

I wish Stamkos would rise to the occasion too. If he was a russian, he would've been labelled a playoff choker already.

Devils deserve credit here. They are doing a good job at containing his line at evens.

Why Travis Zajac deserves more praise then he gets.

Sure but Stamkos has been a disappointment in every playoffs he's played in. It's becoming more a trend than him just getting shut down.

Scored a wicked goal tonight, do you think he's still hurt?
