I watch, we lose. I don't watch, we win. Catch me tuning in while we're raising the cup.


Someone will drop the cup

If I put it in the other forum I'll get lynched.

People are comparing it to the Bunting hit or the Clifford hit, but is it closer to the Reilly on Point hit?

You're a monster.

But I couldn't agree more.

just wasn't meant to be. We won this series in terms of the eye test. Game 2 was the only game where they really handed it to us. The stars just weren't meant to align this year for us. Hell of a series by Toronto. Gotta give them props

It's actually amazing we stayed in this series late with how incredibly bad sergachev and Hedman were playing

For sure, especially tonight they played a hell of a game. We lost the series in games 3 and 4.

This is where I inform you all the Lightning org is still in the AHL playoffs.

Crunch are up 2-1 in their best of 5 series, with another game tomorrow. They might play Toronto's AHL team in the next round if they move on.

Thank you guys for a great series. Genuinely don't know how the Leafs squeezed that out. Even with a depleted defense group, you guys put up one heck of a battle. Raddysh really impressed me, gives me strong Rutta vibes. What a fantastic group of guys you have and there's no doubt in my mind that Tampa will one day be back.

Appreciate the respect. You guys got outplayed most the series but made something out of nothing. Dug in and found a way. Congrats! Good luck the rest of the way!

I’d echo @Nathaniel TOR had no business winning this game let alone this series. For all the talk leading up to the playoffs about how TBL lost it, no doubt in my mind TBL beats TOR, it was another long playoff run to a Cup final.

But I hope you are sick of us as we are with you lol. Let’s never meet in the 1st round again

What do teams do when they're out this early with no draft picks for the next couple years. 😋

Well we'll see what's up after the pc tomorrow. I'll start a new thread to discuss the offseason and any other thoughts before we get to October.
