We were sitting behind the goal for that last scramble. Nerve wracking.
Tampa sat back the entire 3rd period. They’ve got to stop pulling that .
What does your gut think about tonight?
Siding with 85 about Cooper here. 159 minutes w/o a goal is unacceptable with this talent.
The only thing worse than the game was The Judy receiving the Lightning Community Hero award. My buddy next to me (an FSU alum) was laughing at just how immobile The Judy's face was. I may have been the only one, but I certainly voiced my displeasure for The Judy. She may be the nicest person in the world and perform all kinds of philanthropic deeds, but she's a POS imo. Here's a pic of her overly-tight face (I said to my buddy, "You think she's had any work done?"):

She almost looks vegetative.
Funny side note: Emmanuel Lewis (Webster) was sitting two rows behind us (he was wearing a Vegas Golden Knights hat).
it would be the equivalent of the Golden State Warriors not just losing and getting eliminated but only scoring 85 points their last 2 games. I'm admittedly not as knowledgeable on hockey but the home ice performances in this series were pathetic, that has to go to the coach when most objective people say that TB had the deepest roster in the League.i basically called it before the game. first team to score and get to 4 points won.
well that was a really pathetic end to a great season. the highest scoring team in the league was shut out in the last two games. they should be ashamed of themselves.
i knew it was over when gourde couldnt score on a wide open chance.
i wonder if we try to trade any players in the off season.
They didnt even show up in games 1,2,6 and 7. Not just beaten but didn’t even show up. No goals in 2.5 freaking games? Unreal.
Guy Boucher got to the ECF too. Cooper has so far been out coached in big games when it matters most.
Stamkos and Kucherov need some blame too. They were our supposed stars of the team yet totally disappeared over the last 2 games. By contrast, Ovechkin imposes his will. We have soft players led by IMO a soft coach
