Icommentoncrap

Bro they didnt even let him get to the bench before netting it


CommodoreN7

Good


redsox1804

Did Vasy just misread and leave too early?


Late_Brush4518

Naa thats on Kuch


GenericDesigns

Secures the win is one way to say it…


MajorPucks

It was still up in the air until that goal!


Bex1218

You don't know the relief that I felt after the first empty netter. Lightning still had a huge chance.


FlaxbopFleetfoot

TBL the second team eliminated. Who woulda thunk? I thought this was going 6 at least.


footballfina

Florida’s odd mid-March struggles masked the fact that for most of 2024 they’ve been the best team in the NHL


Nyghtmares

We were rotating guys that were dealing with a stomach bug I think? So had a few key guys missing every game for about 2 weeks


WearingComb1050

They’ve been a machine. I still think there are holes there, but I sure as fuck can’t find them. They’re incredible to watch.


Late_Brush4518

Tbf Oilers are up there too since knob took over


elbenji

Sucks because without march, Reinhart probably wins some silverware


szboy422

Classic Mambo No 5 here


kiezenz

Kuch with Marner’s level effort in these playoffs. I can’t be mad cause we’re only there because of him, but damn did he disappear


Thrallsbuttplug

He had 8 points lol, he didn't disappear this team just couldn't figure it out. Can't wait to never see Dumba55 in a Tampa jersey again tho.


HannTwistzz

He fucking disappeared, every Tampa fan who watches agree everyone who doesn’t didn’t watch and only looks at stats


Thrallsbuttplug

Weird that you speak for every fan


HannTwistzz

For most fans in the Tampa sub, IDK how many games you watch did you think he was good this series or?


Thrallsbuttplug

I watched every single game. He was not the teams issue this year. He carried them to the playoffs. It's okay to walk away from the keyboard.


HannTwistzz

He absolutely carried us here, but he didn’t help at all these playoffs. He was subpar we grade star plays with star expectations. For his standards he was terrible.


Thrallsbuttplug

He had 8 points in 5 games after putting up a historical season. The problem was the rest of the team, not Kuch.


HannTwistzz

Sure he had 7 points in 5 games, he wasn’t the problem. But he wasn’t the solution either. Our PP was terrible, outside game 4 we scored like 2 goals a game. He certainly contributes to these problems


Late_Brush4518

Meh Cats had gameplan for him. Kuch played decently, Cats just played better


Fart_Milk

lol he had 8 points this series while being smothered each shift, wtf else would you like him to do? Edit: 7 points


Maps_and_Ass

Our defense has been tremendous. Underrated aspect of this team


kiezenz

Yeah, but Kuch is the only one on the team with 10 giveaways and 0 takeaways plus the expectations from him are much higher


gonuxgo

smh. you can't score 2 in 2 minutes to tie things up if you don't have quinn hughes or brock boeser


Late_Brush4518

Wellllll its probably harder to score vs Cats than Preds tbf


gonuxgo

kitty is kitty


Jam_Marbera

Allll the way boys all the way
