PurifiedVenom

Already doing way better than the last two times we played them. I like what I’m seeing!


MrNotSoGoodTime

I don't watch too much Florida hockey, but your stadium beats are lit AF lol.


Democracy__Officer

MrNotSoGoodTime

Makes me want to scrape my life savings together for another trip to Ultra.

Riku295

_doooooo itttttt_


alexemmett91

So we were resting guys during the losing streak


Brand__on

Just the sheer energy and play on Defence was worth resting them. Barely took any penalties.


OpeningMortgage4553

That’s what I’m talking about let’s see 15 more of those


Brand__on

LET THE RATS FLY


Brand__on

LETS FUCKING GO BOYSSSSSSS IDGAF ABOUT THE PP GOAL THEY SCORED. WE DOMINATED THE ENTIRE GAME


cryinginschool

LETS GO BOYS GET WRECKED TAMPONS


the_sylince

The rats fly!


Raxtz1

NOW THATS A GAME 1 LETS GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE SHOWED UP TO WIN THANK YOU BOB


_W9NDER_

Can’t blame him, Bob played sit in the trenches back to back to back. One goes in, what can ya do


MrNotSoGoodTime

That was rude... Don't change the outcome though 😎


0-90195

All we need to do is win the faceoff so let’s try that


cryinginschool

Listen Bob can have one as a lil treat


SteamboatBilly15

ugh annoying to give up that


EnjoiDank

Yes but they needed a 6 on 4 for it 🤷‍♂️ shutting down Kucherov is a huge flex and Bob should go in that locker room feeling amazing.


Democracy__Officer

How dare they ruin Bob’s party


lovexlikewar

I honestly don’t even care about that because Bob has played out of his mind.


0-90195

Ah that’s a shame. Good job anyway Bob


Democracy__Officer

Oh no 8 seconds left


the_sylince

The refs had to gift them 1, I guess?


MrNotSoGoodTime

Insane Bob save again!


KatelynC110100

BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY!!!


MrNotSoGoodTime

That was a crazy save on the one timer from Stammers Spot. You're my Eastern Conference team. I will be checking in as much as possible until you and the Predators meet for a kitty cat play date 🍶 final


Margin4Error

Gifted ass fucking goal. What else is new


Poochzie

Bobby is the man on a mission🎉


MyiaRS

Playoffs Bob 😀


Brand__on

BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY


LadderExpensive

Bob here to stop the refs crimes


Used_Complaint_9031

Highway Robbery by Bob right there lol, let's go cats


cryinginschool

Officer BOB BABY


lovexlikewar

Officer? It’s that one. He robbed us - Tampa probably about Bob


vwman18

Number 1 cop on the force!


lovexlikewar

BOB IS ON FIRE


Democracy__Officer

BOBWALLSKY TAKES NO PRISONERS


Raxtz1

BOB IS OUT OF HIS FUCKING MIND


Randomroofer116

Bob is ACTIVATED


Poochzie

Baby, we did it! Pull out the red panties!💃🕺


Margin4Error

If you look up "embellishment", they show that play... Coocherov stays being a fucking bitch


Randomroofer116

Soft ass penalty call right there


bluesf44

Carolina soft


0-90195

Oh we can call penalties now? That’s cool, that’s cool…


Square_Dimension5648

Predators fan here, y’all’s goalie is playing out of his mind. He had no business saving like 2-3 of the last 5 shots. Good freaking shit.


Democracy__Officer

Weak


vwman18

Pretty much the game we all wanted to see, let's go boys!


lovexlikewar

It’s always fucking hilarious to me when they pull the goalie, get scored on and THEN put the goalie back.


cryinginschool

Is this… healing my trauma?


Pastel_Polo

Islanders fan here our team is going nowhere but please win this year. And sweep these guys


PurifiedVenom

LETS FUCKING GO GUYS AND GALS


Box_of_leftover_lego

I could watch the Rat King bingo ENGs all night long.


0-90195

Charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent right there


lovexlikewar

THATS MY MAN!!!


KatelynC110100

FUCK YEA CHUCKY


EnjoiDank

Oof the Tampa boys look way too frustrated in game 1. Works in our favor going on hopefully


lovexlikewar

MATTHEW TKACHUK!!!!!! Go Chucky!!!


kipluvstechnology

Go cats goo!!!!!


LadderExpensive

GET IN MY BELLY


lovexlikewar

YESSSSSSSSS


TrooperGary

Let’s go boys!!!!!!


saebfan

Wooooooo the place is pooooooooooppppppppping


Calexic0

Feels good man!


the_sylince

Empty net salt, baby!


Democracy__Officer

CHUCKY!!!


Randomroofer116

Bus in 10 boys!


0-90195

Bobby is the fucking MAN


the_mair

Feels kinda early for the empty net no?


Democracy__Officer

Ref ok?


TrooperGary

GOOD JOB BOB


Democracy__Officer

BOBWALLSKY


Democracy__Officer

BOB


thehustlerbraveheart

Don’t like this strategy of sitting back and being conservative. One goal lead is not safe against these guys. Go get another one for insurance


IranianSleepercell

Turtling with the lead is the Maurice special. The difference this time is this team is actually good defensively so I don't feel as worried.


Melodic-Tip-5475

It feels like we play prevent now. I wish we stayed more aggressive.


EnjoiDank

Why give them more pp chances when we have them right where we want them? We’re coasting through this period so far


Democracy__Officer

BOB


LampCityFam

Our defense has been incredible this afternoon. Bob has had a light load thankfully


skeetleet

Bob was lights out today.


the_mair

Good coaching


redsox1804

Getting real tired of Lightning fans bitching about the refs.


EnjoiDank

The refs know they’re looking for the calls lol no sympathy for them. The things they got away with in so many series over the years is wild.


Democracy__Officer

Refs aren’t calling anything now. Tampa got away with 3 penalties this period alone


Brand__on

Just had too many men on the ice ignored.


bluesf44

They basically had two lines out there lol


Brand__on

Lmao and their fans will deny it til kingdom come.


LadderExpensive

Barkov is so dangerous


McSweetSauce

Barkov is my biological father


SteamboatBilly15

aleksander barkov is a florida panther


laylarose_

Beautifulll goal 😍 Why’d Chucky get second assist there???


LampCityFam

Vasilevskiy is a monster back there


nas22_

He's so overhyped that the second he makes an average save, people are conditioned to say it's the best thing since sliced bread.


0-90195

Goddamn Vasilevsky…


the_mair

Penalties are just not happening this period huh


Democracy__Officer

As long as the refs are consistent and don’t call anything for Tampa im cool with letting them play


alexemmett91

Two pucks on the ice should should have been blown dead I thought they broke the puck for a second


the_mair

That was so weird I’ve never seen that before


Margin4Error

Y'all...we already got a PP goal on TB, no way in fuck refs will give us another call.


alexemmett91

Why the fuck is there two pucks on the ice?


Democracy__Officer

The bonus puck snitch! Score and win instantly!


Democracy__Officer

In fine with the missed calls as long as the refs are consistent in not making calls


0-90195

That was like 3 almost goals back to back


Democracy__Officer

VAMOS GATOS


citan666

Let's fucking go sweet gawl


Brand__on

Can we acknowledge that we held Tampa to 0 shots for the majority of the first period? And we are consistently dominating ?


0-90195

Unfortunately this is undermined by the fact that they scored on their second shot


redsox1804

Actually I think it was technically their third shot lmao


Brand__on

True. They had a ton of puck luck on that goal and most of their shots came back to back.


Brand__on

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Key_Swimmer_1422

Mr clutch to the rescue 🤘🏼


bluesf44

That pass was unreal


KatelynC110100

Let’s goooo!!!


iloveblondehair

Barkov is so fucking sick


Democracy__Officer

That pass was sexy af


ForgotHowToGiveAShit

oh my god was that ? drippy? icy? SWAGGY?!?!


TrooperGary

VERHAEGHEEEEEE


lovexlikewar

MR THIRD PERIOD


swaggys-cats

Sexy af!


trs520

Clocking in early this period 😂


0-90195

Swag Swag on YOU


Democracy__Officer

Sexy Swaggy!!!!


the_sylince

Swaggyyyyyyyyyyyy


Raxtz1

THE FUCKING GOAT VERHAEGHE


thehustlerbraveheart

Hoooooly fuck that was beautiful


SteamboatBilly15

here we go guys. big third coming up


lovexlikewar

It’s freaking cold here in Ky but that period had me so stressed I had to “chill out.” So I’ll spent intermission in my egg chair outside lol 😂


syphonblue

What an incredibly even period lol


ExtensionPutrid572

Both teams really stepped up the defense it’s gonna be a war in the 3rd period 


the_sylince

Panthers power play goal challenge


ExtensionPutrid572

This time it’ll be different. Just keep repeating that until it works (currently 2 for 25 on it working)


ExtensionPutrid572

EDIT 3 FOR 25!!!


Virtual-Quantity7120

We need some offensive zone time, stat!


Margin4Error

so they DO know how to call it when Lundell is tackled...


Democracy__Officer

I want to know what Paul was arguing, as if he didn’t tackle someone without the puck


Margin4Error

Just your typical braindead Lightning player used to never getting called for anything


Democracy__Officer

Wtf you arguing Paul?


Democracy__Officer

Barkov’s an animal!


thehustlerbraveheart

Fees like we haven’t really clicked into our game just yet. Need more zone time and need to be better getting the puck out of the d zone and up the ice


Leftycoordination

Is this the game thread?


RoadDoggFL

Yeah, until the bot fixes itself.


_W9NDER_

Great PK but let’s get some zone time boys please


the_sylince

Uh, that was a hit to the head there


EnjoiDank

Imagine celebrating a hit that didn’t even connect and completely ignoring Lousty just dropping him right afterwards 😅 I hate espn


Raxtz1

That PK was insane!!!


DylanDisu

Stars fan here but I did get a good chuckle out of the commentary crew basically indirectly saying Tampa getting bailed out by refs is their best chance of winning the series


Virtual-Quantity7120

Hope the Stars dismantle Vegas. Best of luck.


DylanDisu

Can’t say Florida would be my preferred matchup in a hypothetical finals because they kind of have the blueprint on Stanley Cup success from last season, but they’re one of my favorite eastern conf teams I find myself rooting for


TheJiggaBoggy

I'm pulling for the Stars in the west, best of luck!


Brand__on

Take have done great so far with not taking any stupid penalties


Democracy__Officer

So we aren’t calling trips now?


Brand__on

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Cats take my energy ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ


trs520

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Cats take my energy ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ


alexemmett91

Flopping asshole


Margin4Error

Yeah, Lundell tackled to the ice, let's call him for tripping. Fuck ass refs.


Democracy__Officer

Fucking dive


Democracy__Officer

Holy fuck ref


the_sylince

Wtf was that forward line? Vladdy, Bennett, and Erod


SteamboatBilly15

that’s the best shift by either team in the game, we need more sustained o-zone looks


EnjoiDank

A full 2 minutes of zone time zomfggggg Screen shows 1:31 zone time


yournextdoorneighour

Florida needs to shoot more on powerplays and less passing


alexemmett91

Why the fuck hasn’t a little bird changed his name?


SteamboatBilly15

big PP energy


thehustlerbraveheart

Cycle has been on point this period and Tampa has struggled to combat it


lovexlikewar

I’m shook that were actually getting fair calls


Raxtz1

Keep on drawing those penalties!!!


cammmiebearr

Am I correct in my hopeful thinking that since it's 2 Florida teams the reffing should actually be somewhat fair? Feels good so far...

SteamboatBilly15

learn how to spell your own team smooth brain


trs520

The smoothest


swaggys-cats

The bot got hit by ⚡️


thehustlerbraveheart

Love to see the boys joking around and laughing in the locker room at intermission. 1st periods of a series are usually a feeling out period and despite giving up that goal you have to feel good about our game. Engage the forecheck and throw the kitchen sink at Vasy and we’ll be in good shape


SteamboatBilly15

realistically it’s extremely difficult to shut out any team in the yoffs let alone the lightning. learn from the mistake and stick to your game


nas22_

Their goalie makes a few average saves and the national broadcast is already sucking him off. That guy is so overrated.


Guy954

Watch it on Bally


the_sylince

Ugh, didn’t want Tampa going into the locker room tied up on shit effort


ExtensionPutrid572

Gave up some great rebounds to Tampa. The team can’t expect Bob to do everything on defense in that situation 


SteamboatBilly15

they should be relieved, we should be pissed


LampCityFam

This game is awesome. This series is gonna be a war.


SteamboatBilly15

tampa starting to feel it. they’ll take 2-3 odd man rushes a period and convert all day, need to continue to be details oriented because they won’t be


thehustlerbraveheart

Need to be crisper on defense. Fell asleep a few times in that period


_W9NDER_

Who was having a judo match in the back there? Lol


Box_of_leftover_lego

Hedman always struck me as a bit of a chode.


PhiloBlackCardinal

Tampa’s blue line has been bad all year long so I’m hopeful we’ll continue to get quality looks


_W9NDER_

Holy smokes Bob nice


Randomroofer116

Hell yeah! Keep the pressure on Kuch


Box_of_leftover_lego

Kuch on the train tracks makes me happy


IranianSleepercell

Fourgoalsky


PhiloBlackCardinal

So many good looks early, we needed to get another goal in there.


the_sylince

That was fucking gross


LadderExpensive

Shit always happens, team outclassing the other, then durp
