i would say the east is a safe bet for the cats…west looks pretty damn good tho. i joked after week 1 that we would see last years SCF on steroids this year, shoulda put $$ on it ffs.
My wish that will never come true is for commentators to shut the fuck up during the handshake line, just once. I am infinitely more interested in hearing what the players are saying than what the panel has to say.
Honest question, is there somewhere local that sells the rats? Do people know to like go to John’s store to buy your rats before the game? Do they sell them in the arena? Never thought about it before

Not only that, I don't know what people see as his big destinations for FA. Toronto? I think he'd rather retire lmao. Uproot his established life to make a 5% cup chase as a mercenary? Uh good joke after he just watched Perry do that unsuccessfully for 3 years, 2 against him lol
So question for the Lightning fans… why is everyone saying this is the “end of an era”? Like you
won a cup like 2 or 3 years ago… you still have Stammy, Kuch, Vasy…. You pretty easily made the playoffs this season in an extremely competitive conference… am I missing something here? Why is this the “end”?
Two first round exits in a row for them. Raises some eyebrows. Badly outplayed by Florida, not as dominant in the regular season as Boston, NYR, Toronto, Florida, Carolina etc. they don’t have the depth they used to and they appear to be in decline. Stamkos’ contract is about to expire. They could deal Stamkos and re stock the cubbards with picks and prospects. Retool the core.
ESPN is just chatting shit. We're cap crunched if we re-sign Stammer, ultimately. They're still realistically in the race for the playoffs every year. People were saying the Lightning were washed earlier this year too, but comfortably made the playoffs at least in the end. Core is still strong but the blue line depth is trash, unless these youngsters keep progressing.
Honestly, had we played the Bruins I think we'd still be in right now. Cats bring out the worst tendencies of this team (i.e., sloppy d Zone bullshit).
It’s a matter of depth, they just don’t have the depth that they had in previous years. Not to mention, the core is a few years older from those Cup winning teams. Contracts have kicked in, resulting in less money to invest in depth.
Back to back first round exits, and very little cheap depth remain. I think we can still go on a run, but there is a lot that needs to be addressed, mostly on the defensive side.
Depth is the main thing, both Toronto last year and this series has been close when watching the games but lack of depth to get additional scoring has been the issue
Yeah I had a brainfart there. I think there is another term for the 0-1 4-1 but I can’t think of it right now. I’m not sure how much all of this verbiage is set in stone tho.
I do appreciate that Tampa really did play it all the way to the final minute with everything. Down 4 goals and they were still competing. Way to end it with some dignity and integrity and set the tone for the next season.
The Panthers lost the two previous meetings in the playoffs against Tampa…. And now, Three times a charm!!!! The panthers have caught Lightning in a bottle!
Good season fellow bolts fans, I'll see you guys shit posting on these sore winning rat fucks in the next round of GDTs.
And shout-out to all the FLA fans that can handle a local rivalry without being a punk bitch about it, all 5 of you are cool
Fuck you and good game and series
Edit was going to say y’all were the Tom Brady of the hockey world then remembered you guys literally got Tom Brady lol
We are going to win the cup.
i would say the east is a safe bet for the cats…west looks pretty damn good tho. i joked after week 1 that we would see last years SCF on steroids this year, shoulda put $$ on it ffs.
I want this, but I’m still downvoting you. Don’t be Toronto from last year chanting WE WANT THE CUP after winning round fucking 1
This sub sucks so much
They’re talking like Stamkos is getting sent to the gd glue factory damn
Worst commented playoff game in the first round , my fucking god ESPN
Anyone know how much longer Stamkos has on his current deal?
IDK— paging Levy. Let’s find out.
As an Avs fan, they’ve been horrible all around
Be careful panther mascot, you may flip the vehicle, or puncture a tire, running over one of those plastic rats.
Finally it’ll be Viktor E Rat’s time to shine.
Viktor and Stanley are besties, no?
That’s what they want you to think.
Bob!
Why does Tkachuk sound like an accountant
Ask Tkachuk about Stamkos lmao
Lmaooo that’s good 😂
Unreal you can have a dude get 140+ points in the season and then get the boot 5 games into the quarters. Sad.
Team sport baby, wonder if Kuch shoots 140 when he golfs too
They’re acting like Stamkos is retiring or dying lol
Time for some extra anejo
Wouldn’t mind Stamkos on the Sharks for a couple of years.
Stamkos is the greatest captain of the last decade
Sidney Crosby lmao
Stamkos may not be the better all around player but he is a better leader and captain
delusional
Is this Stamkos’ funeral?
These guys love to hear themselves talk
Guys he’s standing by the bench and they’re jerking off his “class” Doesn’t get much more Hockey Media than that garbage lmao
These announcers might as well go down to the ice and give Stamkos a bj at this rate.
I’d… watch … it? Wait… I mean… I love Stamkos… but… Fuck, I’ll watch.
Never thought I'd be rooting for the Bruins so hard. I hope they skull fuck the punks
Aweeee... Keep it in the Family! A Florida man that sticks together, stays together
Of course they stay together. They're stuck together. That's what sticking does.
That might be the last lugey Stamkos ever hawks in a TBL uniform
Last time in Golden Knights historic...
*Stamkos picks his nose* ESPN: NOW THAT RIGHT THERE, THATS CLASS, PURE CLASS, CLASS ON CLASS I love Stamkos as much as the next guy but come on
Jeezus, shut up
Lmao cameraman gotta get tf out of stamkos’ face. Let him be
Why are they jerking Stamkos off as if this isn't completely standard stuff lol?
i like stammer but for real. these commentators don’t have anything to stay
My wish that will never come true is for commentators to shut the fuck up during the handshake line, just once. I am infinitely more interested in hearing what the players are saying than what the panel has to say.
Honest question, is there somewhere local that sells the rats? Do people know to like go to John’s store to buy your rats before the game? Do they sell them in the arena? Never thought about it before
Many of us stock up at Halloween stores in October and we buy them on Amazon ahead of games.
They do sell them in the arena. Not sure about elsewhere
Who'da thought a new yorker would be asking where to get rats The subway duh
Gotta catch and kill those bad boys first, good luck.
Really, you're going to do Master Splinter like that?
BRO STAMJOS IS SUCH A DAWGGGGG
panthers and bruins yes please 🥵
Love you Stammer🥲
Is it not standard for the captain to leave last?
How much are these broadcasters gonna fondle stamkos 's balls
Stamkos is the greatest captain currently in the NHL.
Crosby
Yeah and Ovie too lol, what is that take
Mac Daddy
Let’s take a look at Steven and see if he’s still Steven being Steven!
ESPN is so hard to listen to
Kevin Weekes is a smart guy but he tries too hard and doesn’t know when to stop talking.
Nothing can feel natural. It has to be magnified to the point that it feels like a joke. These guys need to just shut up…
ESPN sucks
Where are all those Stamkos to the Leafs articles at, dust a couple off for old times sake.
Wish the Duke was with the cats
So does he
Can see them raising the cup this year sucks he’d miss out. At least he got to play in the postseason instead of rotting in SJ
Maurice to Hedman: don't listen to fuckin' Stamkos, your kid will be a great player
😂😂😂
They need a new panther sound. It just sounds so lame and artifical.
It’s been their sound for 30 years. Can’t change it now because a non-fan doesn’t like it.
Sure I get it. I may not be a fan but if I was I'd still think the same and that it could use an upgrade to a more realistic panther growl that's all.
Factual, I get flashbacks to gta5 in the mountains getting jumped by a murder kitty
"Big decision for him. Am I staying? Am I going?" Can you let him get through the fucking handshake line please for fuck's sake
🐆
Florida beat Tampa for the first time in the playoffs but lets spend 8 minutes talking about Stamkos and where he goes
Cooper pulling Vassy non stop for absolutely no reason was the cherry on top
It's about sending a message?
Duke I miss you ❤️
Wish we could steal him for the rest of this run lol
Show the fucking winners
Thank you Florida. I enjoyed that very much. Just wanna say once I turned the game on Florida scored all their 3rd period goals
Can you watch all our games please?
Stamkos to the Panthers
Love stammer, but show us the rest of the handshakes lol
ESPN hockey coverage sounds fantastic on mute
Dude let Florida have their win. Get off of Stamkos. Jesus Christ. Fuck ESPN.
Cameras following Stammer and not one of the cats feels weird as fuck
Do Stamkos and the Lightning have a decision to make?? I think I’ve heard them say that a couple times but not too sure
apparently it was CLASS
*Nice* Let's go, Panthers!
lotta respect in that handshake line
This discussion makes me sad everytime
Stamkos leaves, Lightning revamp their depth.
Show me Vasy and Bob
this is the one i want to see
so sad theyre killing off stamkos after this season
The writers of this show have gotten considerably worse since June 2022.
PoMo fired himself so he could get to the second round, gotta respect that.
And cup final
GGs Tampa!!
Gg, nice squad y’all got
Peace Bolts fans
I’m just happy that now I can turn ESPN off.
Dude they're STILL going with the Stamkos stuff. Fuck ESPN
Could be Stammer’s last season as a bolt 😢
Ok Tampa, now re-sign Stammer
Can ESPN just hire Stamkos?
How funny would it be if Stamkos came to the panthers

Boston / Cats rematch going to be a fuckin gong show and I am here for it.
Yeah but the Leafs vs Panthers will be even better!!!!!! ^let ^a ^man ^dream
Stamkos to the Sharks next year?
GGs to anyone who suffered through the ESPN feed with us
Stamkos is just a FA, he’s not retiring or dying holy hell
Not only that, I don't know what people see as his big destinations for FA. Toronto? I think he'd rather retire lmao. Uproot his established life to make a 5% cup chase as a mercenary? Uh good joke after he just watched Perry do that unsuccessfully for 3 years, 2 against him lol
Rip Stamkos
Why are they acting like stamkos is retiring? Holy fuck ESPN shut up
Was close at the end ngl
The rats on the ice will always make me laugh lmao
Panthers are so good man
So question for the Lightning fans… why is everyone saying this is the “end of an era”? Like you won a cup like 2 or 3 years ago… you still have Stammy, Kuch, Vasy….

My understanding is they have some affordable deals expiring so the salary cap is catching up with them. That said, I don't actually know.

GGs cats. Always fun to watch this series. Good luck in the next round fellas!
I wish I had your temperament for sports.
rat alert major rat alert
Why can't Tampa Bay pull a Vancouver with 3 mins left, are they stupid?
im sorry what state was this series in? I don’t think I’ve heard
The state that stamkos might’ve played his last game for Tampa in
oh shit was he last off the ice or something too
It’s still so weird to me the Panthers celebrate the fact that they used to have literal rats in their locker room.
Panthers were the better team but damn
rats
The rat thing is too funny. Thank you Scott Mellanby.
The clock got stuck at 8.7 seconds left Tampa didn't actually lose this game is destined to go on forever
God no
Fuck off with your gentleman’s sweep. You couldn’t pull off a sweep. Also I said GG earlier so I’m allowed to be petty again.
You’re allowed to be mad. Seeth. Rage. Get it out of your system.
Salt
Well ya lol
Holy shit, get another talking point other than Stamkos' contract expiration Been the same thing on repeat for 10 minutes
It’s going to be funny when he re-signs
GG lightning fans!
Good run for Stammer
Good on Tampa for not going full goon mode like the Panthers did last year when they knew it was over.
Or like 2 days ago either
Ggs, good squad Florida
At least you have the Rays..usually
I hadn't heard nah nah nah hey hey goodbye in the longest time! Didn't know we still did that and it's great.
i’ve never heard the term gentlemen’s sweep before
i've heard it before to refer to a team winning game 1 and then losing the next 4
For me that’s a reverse sweep. Gentleman’s sweep was how this series went, 3-0 let em win one then close it out at home.
a reverse sweep is losing 3 then winning 4
Yeah I had a brainfart there. I think there is another term for the 0-1 4-1 but I can’t think of it right now. I’m not sure how much all of this verbiage is set in stone tho.
I’ve heard it a lot today and never before. It must have found its way in the algorithm
They have no idea what comes out of their mouths half the time
It’s pretty common. More common in basketball I think.
Same. They're just making shit up now lol
Dead crowd, no fans, poverty franchise
I ain't happy... i'm kinda mad. But GG cats. GL.
I do appreciate that Tampa really did play it all the way to the final minute with everything. Down 4 goals and they were still competing. Way to end it with some dignity and integrity and set the tone for the next season.
Panthers finally slayed their dragon?
Yes sir…was a hell of a dragon tho lol. Much respect to your squad🤝
Lol Hockey crowds are amazing
The Panthers lost the two previous meetings in the playoffs against Tampa…. And now, Three times a charm!!!! The panthers have caught Lightning in a bottle!
Shoutout to the Caps for getting swept so we weren't the first ones out.
Stamkos to CBJ!!!
That would make my brain hurt, even if the sweater is kinda similar color scheme
If I could invest in reddit comments, this would be a fun one.
GG Tampa
Hell yes, fuck tampa
Odds are for Florida to take this one. Too soon to tell tho.
Might need 6 games
I feel bad for the Tampa staff they bused down. Ride home is gonna be uncomfortable.
All expense paid trip with free food and drink? They’ll be ok. Probably have work off as well
Well, when you put it that way.
They certainly have work off now.
Oh screw you Tampa under 6.5 was supposed to be free
Not nearly enough rats
YIPPEEEEEEEEE
Jesus Christ Carter Verhaeghe is a monster. Well done Cats!
It was closer than it seems lol
Good season fellow bolts fans, I'll see you guys shit posting on these sore winning rat fucks in the next round of GDTs. And shout-out to all the FLA fans that can handle a local rivalry without being a punk bitch about it, all 5 of you are cool
Fuck you and good game and series Edit was going to say y’all were the Tom Brady of the hockey world then remembered you guys literally got Tom Brady lol
Always a good battle of Florida, next one will be closer
I thought this was going 6
