Sucks that we probably lost Bennett.

 

[CatscratchFever]

Keep it going keep it going full STEAM

Give Bob the game puck again!

That would be pretty bad ass because Bob got it last game he gets to give it out this game. Be awesome if he said screw you guys I’m keeping it.

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Losing Bennett is not going to be good. I'm hoping and praying he's OK.

Verhaeghe is easily the clutchest player in franchise history and is now in discussion for most clutch in NHL history.

Bobrovsky deserved this win. Very happy to see the boys get it done for him. Would've been a shame to see him lose this one after that masterful performance. Literally an all-world type game from Bob tonight.

Tampa will bring absolutely everything they have to game 3, they have to. Won't be easy in their building but it's clear these are not the Tampa teams of yesteryear.

Bennett is dead and Forsling is hurt so it's not great but a win is a win. Again, faltering in March to draw Tampa while NYR does cardio vs the Caps is extremely unfortunate lol

Lol verhaeghe writing his own story

Oh well. Seems like Tampa is the last monkey on the back outside of the Finals lol

2-0 with a low-effort GDT

How long does it take a broken hand to heal? Any hope for round 2 if we were to drag this series out to 7 games?

Teravainen had broken wrist last playoffs in 1st round, came back for conference finals

Looked like it hit the wrist without the padding above the glove. If it's a wrist then around 4 weeks, that's what it was for me at least. These guys come back sooner though.

Definitely is, idk if they can get by the Canes so this would be as close to satisfying as the Cup would be lol. We owe them

Yeah. Honestly, sucks for the Lightning, too. Everybody loses.

Being up 2-0 is huge, this series is going to continue to be an absolute slog.

That is a mind blowing stat.

None for Ovi too

 

[BabyBennettov]

f*** Montour ! Like REALLY... f*** him !

Used to love him but he is a trainwreck !

If he injured our best playoffs forward (Sam) for this run, I just want him out of this team...

Didn't saw the play btw... But I'm sure it was reckless and stupid, as always.

Still...

FFUUUUCCKIIIIIING MISTER SWAGGY ! DA MAAAAAN !!!!!!

Fired his usual wide shot into Bennett hand or wrist.

 

[Gentle Man]

That's a wrist.

Just don't let him take faceoffs. Wear a cast. Drink drugs. Inject hormones IDGAF

We owe Vegas

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

I know hockey players are absolutely insane and will play with broken bones but I have to imagine Bennett is not coming back in this series.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

"Apparent" hand injury

(replay shows 90mph shot hitting him in the hand)
