ECQF: Columbus Defeats Tampa Bay 4-0

[Captain And Coke]

First ever playoff series win is a sweep against a 62 win team. Well done and congrats Columbus.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Well deserved win

The desire to win triumphed over skill

 

[Sol]

"GENERATIONAL TEAM " swept.

 

[The Macho King]

Hey, look at the bright side, you guys don't have to pay state income tax no matter how many times you get swept in the first round after a historic regular season.

Don't get paid for the playoffs.

What's that?

Hes the GM of the Blue Jackets

 

[llamateizer]

So Tampa gets the 27th pick in the next draft ?

 

[Canucks LB]

I still think Cooper is a very good coach, and the Tampa Bay lightning are a very good team and can easily compete next year.

They had to learn a very big lesson this year, I would not be shocked at all if they won next year

 

[Boothinator]

Biggest choke in sports

 

[End on a Hinote]

Unbelievable....

 

[Common Sense]

I think the Blue Jackets have finally earned Canada's respect.

 

[darko]

Long way down off that high horse.

 

[The Gongshow]

Congrats Blue Jackets. Good luck in round 2!

It's so weird to me that Columbus was so close to just missing completely. Like right down to the wire. Kekalainen basically hinged his reputation on the last game of the season. How did Tampa not even get a game?? Insanity

2019 FIRST PERIOD CHAMPS.

You know, technically, Tampa just tied the quickest playoff exit in league history. Lots of records flying around here.

 

[Little Psycho]

I couldn't believe what I was witnessing these last games. Shook.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

I still think Cooper is a very good coach, and the Tampa Bay lightning are a very good team and can easily compete next year.

They had to learn a very big lesson this year, I would not be shocked at all if they won next year

Or get swept again

 

[jd1970]

I've never seen a good team be so thoroughly dismantled.

Outcoached. Majorly.

 

[Muffin]

There goes 90% of playoffs brackets...

 

[Stu]

Sorry bud, but one or 2 games is a fluke, 4 straight a fluke is not!

Get serious dude!

Whooooooooooooosh

 

[Rob Brown]

Congrats CBJ fans!

 

[MapleLeafs94]

I voted for a Tampa being swept in that thread not long for shits and giggles but obviously I didn't mean it. What the hell did we just witness.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

62 wins including playoffs

 

[holy]

Everybody...everybody get naked. It's going to be great.

This lightning team reminded me of the 2008-2009 Sharks. So good in the regular season, collapsed in the first round of the playoffs. The only difference is the Sharks won 2 games and dominated the shots and chances but were beat by a hot goalie. Lightning just played like ass.
