Series Thread: Second Round - Broken Sticks and Broken Hips - Florida Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

[mattola]

Until they’re beat, I can’t pick against them. Tampa in 7.

Tampa in 6

Corey Perry.

That is all.

Tampa 6

Tampa in 6.

Last two teams the Leafs lost to in the first round went on to make the Final so TB in 7.

Bolts in 6

Tampa in 7

Lightning in 7

Hate the Bolts.

Bolts in 7.

up 2-0 going back to Tampa, Tampa looking like the champs they are and their goalie just getting better.

Florida will be lucky to win one game this series.

but man can things change when you think one team is so dominant. look at St Louis/Col last night

Alot of Tampa picks

 

[puckhead]

Presumably the end of Big Mamna Joe Thornton?

 

[naslundfan19]

And only gave up 1 goal in the other series

The Panthers captain was all Barkov and no bite.

Alot of Tampa picks

Probably time to start discussing Vasilevskiy’s place in the pantheon of the greats…

Alot of Tampa picks

Amazed no one picked a sweep.

 

[mattola]

Probably time to start discussing Vasilevskiy’s place in the pantheon of the greats…

And he's getting better every game

It's theirs to lose

 

[Coily1]

I am shocked.

Shocked.

SHOCKED I SAY!

President's Trophy. Kiss of death.

Well done, that's about as Gudas it gets.

 

[wings-pens2166]

You gonna go out, might as well go out with a bang I guess

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

What a bunch of frauds.

That Ben Chiarot trade was robbery at the time. I think it’s akin to stealing the Mona Lisa now.

Florida doesn’t have another first round pick until Donald Trump’s second term begins.

You just shut your...you're probably right.

Not quite Dryden, Roy, Brodeur great (but heading that way), but certainly better than Hasek, Fuhr and Billy Smith. First ballot for sure.

There's never been a goalie better at reacting to the play changing in front of him.

The Thrashers have NEVER won a Playoff Series. FYI they only made it once

I would think the Coyotes (maybe even adding in the Jets time before) had the longest.

They won the same number of PO series during their existence as the Leafs did during the same time period.

Nope, sorry, nobody is taking 4 playoff series victories against Ottawa from us. It's literally the only good thing we can hold onto in the last 30 years.

/Plus there was like 2 other series wins. Come on!
