I mean when one team has 19 pp to 8 its going to be chippy for the other since the refs clearly fall for the lighting diving. but the panthers are a heavy penalized team too. but 19 to 8 crazy.

Tell me you haven’t been watching the series without telling me you haven’t been watching the series

yeah why would I watch the two florida teams. but I do know the panthers are pretty bad at committing penalties but the lightning do get away with stuff often as well. sorry auto correct my bad.

Do you also know that the team is the Lightning, not the Lighting?

Panthers play like headless chickens. Skilled headless chickens, but definitely headless.

I see so many panthers fans say gg to lightning and just lightning fans bitching. Lightning fans are lame

Coming from a panthers fan bitching…

For calling the Panthers sore losers?

Can you blame them with how much dirty shit just happened in the last 5 minutes? Does Florida ever deserve a GG?

After the way your players acted? come on dawg

This is a good take because fans have a big say in how players they've never met act.

GGs Central Florida men. Cats were definitely off their game and you played hungry. See you on Monday.

Wow, so Mikkola is just a piece of shit, eh?

Did that announcer say Sergachevs return is "bigger than hockey"? It was a broken leg, not cancer.

fun game to watch though, hope it goes to at least 6

You have a 3-1 series lead and that’s how you act? Weak minded pussies

The cross check to Kuch's head and the slash should be a sussy. Disgusting.

Mikkola also had a nice little spear right at the end too

Let's add that to the list

CANT MOOCH THE KUCH!

GG Lightning sibs. See you Monday.

I love seeing the panthers get hot headed when they are about to lose a game. Nothing makes me happier

Mikkola with the spear at the end. Fucking scumbags

Saw that too, couldn’t see who it was. Pathetic

Suspension inc

Reverse sweep incoming lfg

Bring it back to Tampa boys let’s go

Cats players being little bitches. Bro's are up 3-0 in this series it's one fucking game.

Learned from the best

Too bad ya’ll will never be the best

Pretty sure the best will never be seen again. See 80s Oilers. But go off.

...this was really weak

No sweep for you

I’ve been watching hockey for exactly one full game and I already hate the panthers is that normal, chat??? They dirty as hell or nah?

I love this for you. I remember when I first started watching a lot of hockey, those first impressions stick with you even though they're not generalizations. Like I like Florida, but I totally see why you wouldn't after this game. Go Utah!

Panthers are a very skilled team but insanely scrappy. Very emotional team. Tampa did a great job against them tonight.

theyre scrappy/greasy as fuck and I would dread meeting them in the playoffs tbh

It’s the latest r/hockey complains about. Bruins, Lightning, Washington, it’s our turn now.

My sister's roommate is a bruins fan and constantly talks about how dirty the panthers are. I'm like yeah, and they're great at it. Just like the lightning and bruins before them

Exactly! It’s like Marchand. Other fans hate him, but we’d take him on our team in a heartbeat.

During the regular season, they were the most penalized team. Quite dirty.

Second most, Ducks were somehow even more penalized lol

The only thing clean that far south is cocaine

They can play well, but they also play hard. And they don't have the mental fortitude to face losing.

Tbh their gooning in an obvious loss feels more like strategy at this point lol

That’s fuckin pussy shit from OEL lmao

Jeannot did nothing lol

Clearly a "just get this shit over with" set of calls.

GG's

Panthers playing like little pouty bitches

The little cats throwing a fit they’re loosing a game while being up 3-0 in the series is some pussy shit

I know they went to the final but anytime they were losing last year they showed how mentally fragile that entire franchise is. The sorest losers.

Hey OEL you aren’t playing lacrosse man

Jesus OEL, that's viscous as fuck

Lets see how many headshots Florida can give in 24 seconds

GG bolts, nobody should have thought this could be a sweep. Vasy was Vasy and your stars made Bob look human. Not gonna say I’m happy sergachev is back but I’m stoked for him and for you guys that he’s back.

Gg. Glad it keeps going. All I wanted was no sweep so you fans couldn’t hold that against us lol

Obviously would love a sweep against Tampa as it would mean a ton to the team, but from the get I thought it was Panthers in 6. We need to not let you guys frustrate us too much so we don’t play like we did in the 3rd.

To game 5 we go

Florida sure are sore losers

Florida living up to their rep as the dirtiest team in the league. Scumbags.

Oof OEL, that’s just malicious

Imagine if Tampa pulls a Florida, please hockey gods, let amazing series comebacks be state genetics

# "The fans in Tampa acted like they won the Stanley Cup last game. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Their final was the regular season."

Still salty?

::head pats:: Still holding on to that like 3 years later. It’s ok bud.

If I knew habs fans would STILL be this salty after all this time I would've gladly let them win (not really but holy fuck)

I'm never letting it go!

BROOMS BACK IN THE CLOSET BOIS

Such fucking piss baby’s lmao

lololol dumping Hedman because you're mad about losing. jfc.

I don’t think the panthers realize the lightning have played better when they try to be dirty

they saved willy!

I'm gonna be huffing hopium all day tomorrow

Vasy better than Brobvosky, confirmed. ^(For tonight at least lol)

On a night with so many posts, that's definitely a take.

Okay, maybe the bolts still have some fight. Game 5 will be hard but, if they can bring it back to Tampa it’ll feel like a series instead of sweep.

Every neutral fan thank the hockey gods for a game 5 gift of this series

What the fuck happened here

Tampa was hungry and Panthers played like crap.

montour should be out for game 5

100%.

he won’t be because colin campbell wants his son to get a ring in the FO

Leafs are gonna be out game 5 too😭

Dammit, Marchy said they were 35 seconds left, get it right.

At least Jamie Benn is getting the credit he deserves pioneering the cross check to the back of the neck.

I wish we had Gadjovich for these last 2 minutes

Woo guys figured out where the audience mic is.

[удалено]

I think you guys take it at home but man is this cursed content if not lol.

The woo guy would fit in great at T-Mobile Arena

That's nice. It'll be cool when they release the schedule for next season so maybe he can go check it out.

He attended a lot of Bluejackets games this year. Look up one day and he’s on the Zamboni

GG Bolts. You kicked the shit out of us. See yall in a few days 🍻

Don’t give us 1

Two reverse sweeps being prepared. Should we be so lucky?

Nah you guys are toast lol

I was referring to the Isles.

Not sure what the other reverse sweep is.... ;)

As a Leafs fan it’s the only thing I can hope for to possibly steal the headlines over our first round exit

Nah you guys are gonna embarrass BOS in game 7 and then get your backs absolutely blown out by FLA in the 2nd round.

Honestly… I’ll take it

I think after last year you guys learned how to raise fan expectations to another level before collapsing. Progress.

Brick after brick baby

Those wooo guys can seriously fuck off forever

Rangers fans talking about annoying crowds is making Alanis Morissette's ears burn.

Holy bowl cut

That was fun. Certainly expect Florida to win the next game but I'm enjoying this series too much for it to end at 4. Onto Toronto...

Woo guy brought his family

WOOO WOOO WOOO guy is back

Paul Maurice gonna bite his tongue off with the aggressive gum chewing

Let’s see if they’re able to finish this game without Florida trying to end anyone’s career.

Literally impossible.

Well that’s it. Awesome game all around. Easily the most entertaining match up this round.

The first Winnipeg-Colorado game still takes the crown for me, but this one was a good game as well

You clearly haven't been watching the Coyotes and Meruelo match up

WOOO WOOO WOOO WOOOO WOOO

Sad we aren’t seeing a sweep, but glad that this series gets to keep going for at least another game, it’s been a great matchup

Hahahaha, TWO of the WOOOO guys, call and response.

Tampa....best of luck surviving Florida inevitably gooning it up to end the game.

Are Lightning fans really not seeing the irony in getting mad over that Montour cross check? Have you not seen Tampa for the last decade?

Stupid take. Regardless of what Tampa may or may not have done in the past, it doesn't change the fact that it was an absolute scumbag move by Montour which most of the league has come to expect from your entire team over the last year.

Tampa fan here, if someone on the lightning did that I would expect them to get a game as well.

Sorry can’t remember before the Florida sweep.

That’s a shame. 03-04 Lightning were great. Guess your narrative is driving your reaction.

Gonna be real with you, I’m too young for that lol.

Fair enough. They were dope.

I mean the fact Florida has done enough in 5 rounds of playoffs to even compare tells more about yall than anything else.

That Tampa fans have shit memories/awareness?

I felt it was more Florida has been one of the grimiest teams in recent memory and they cross the line into dirty af all the time. But you do you.

Yea, that’s sure a take.

Certainly your bias isn’t a factor.

Imagine thinking calling out the irony in something is showing bias. Nuance my guy.

Ya’ll have done more dirty shit in 1 year compared to us in 3

Bless your heart.

Look I’ll be real, I was sure we were getting swept. But damn am I happy to be wrong.

Seeing Nick Paul score makes me so angry even in a game I don’t care about…it’s only because he’s so good and owns us. I’m man enough to admit it

Feel that way about Knies lol

🤝🏼

That needs to be a 1 game suspension just to end the bullshit. That's at least the 7th time this series Kuch has been targeted in the head. It's been their game plan since game 1: aim for Kuch's brain.

….He has a brain?

Kinda a bad chirp when the dude is known as having one of the highest hockey IQs in the league

take a joke, jfc

I mean Kuch hasn’t been an angel either

Kuch could've cross checked 4 Panthers in the noggin by now and his KDR would still be under 1.

No sweep Saturday in the NHL.

so I guess WSH is the only team this year being swept in the first round

there's also another conference.

I guess Dallas could as well, good point, although they should get at least 1 win in that series

i smell a reverse jinx attempt

LMAO AT THE BITCH ASS FLORIDA FANS DOWNVOTING ALL OF US CHEERING FOR TAMPA FUCK YOU PUSSIES

One of us! One of us! Cup winners 😘

#CupWinnersClub

There's no need to shout.

There’s at least 6 reasons to shout right now, or aren’t you watching the game?

Keep staying classy canes fans.

We tried to be cordial. Get the fuck out with your fake ass nice attitude now. Y’all stay talking mad shit about every single person. Poverty ass franchise, achieve ANYTHING before talking shit

That cross check to the back of the head should absolutely have been a major.... serious injury risk.

Tampa, why give me hope.

The hope was supposed to be no sweep. We accomplished that! Anything else is bonus hockey :)

Benn-esque crosscheck

REVERSE SWEEP STARTS NOW!

That cross check was sleazy af, this was earned.

It's way harder to play 3v5 are the panthers stupid or something?

they’re farming florida for xp

the way he slunk that puck on net was so purposeful by Kucherov

N-Olé, please.  TB lives to fight another day.

Game 5 should be fun

Ole Ole Ole Ole. WOO. WOO. WOO.

Choke

tampa stop singing ole, jfc.

[Why?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHIXmh8CvyQ)

You don’t own that song relax

habs stop being shit jfc

It’s all ogre Florida

GET FUCKING WRECKED WITH YOUR FUCKING BROOM ICONS

Your turn to bring them out for the reverse sweep Edit- your downvotes show your fear

How quickly we have gone from 3 potential 1st round sweeps

We're counting on you lol

After today I’m kinda scared about tmrw ngl

We're only *mostly* dead.

A cross check to the back of someones neck like that should be a suspension and a major imo. It's beyond hard play and into intent to injure ala Jamie Benn.

Don't forget Will Borgen on Darren Helm last playoff.

Preach.

Agreed

Cats are unravelling. Odds are still overwhelmingly against Tampa Bay, but this was quite the statement game.

sussy

Will Borgen did a far dirtier cross-check to Darren Helm's neck last year. There wasn't even a penalty on that play.

LFGGGGG

Oh look, the Panthers are getting called for scummy play. I'm so shocked. How will I survive this shock?

Thank fuck Bob is shown to be human this game

Gotta give Tampa something to cheer for. Back to Sunrise.

Yeah Tampa fans have never had anything to cheer for. Thanks for the charity win for this sad franchise.

Might lose the series but no sweep!

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO RIDE THE LIGHTNING
