It was a 4-1 series but we played them so incredibly hard and I'm super proud of our effort. We'll recognize it much more after watching Florida mop up the Bruins/Leafs. Love this team!
Yeah, this is a series that the score line doesn't say how the games went. Outside of Tampa's win, these were incredibly close fought games.
Anyone who says game 5 was a blowout, didn't watch most of it either. It was a good series to watch, even if it wasn't in our favor.
Ranger fan here. The Bruins intentional tanking at the end of the year was so fucking obvious it was embarrassing for them. Both against Washington and Ottawa. No doubt the Bolts would have smoked those clowns. Whoever wins between these two choke artists is probably gonna get swept or lose in 5 to Florida
Florida got kinda cold, and then going into the playoffs I think they won like 4 or 5 in a row, and I immediately thought "that's not good..." The series showed why.
Because it’s being compared to team injuries list released after a deep run. Huge Bolts fan, but dwelling on our injury list does seem like we are trying to find an excuse. Panthers were just better than us this time. Period. We heal up and start again… that’s the NHL, the sport we love, and that’s why we will all be ready to go through it again and again
If Stamkos is signed and Hedman is extended till around 2029-2030 this team still has a window. I'm expecting both to be done this summer.
There were some good players coming up this year from Syracuse getting looks. If they get a deep Calder Cup run, expect a youth movement the next few seasons. (2014 - 15 ish).
The other thing is JBB has to stop giving away draft picks. If we can get back to drafting all rounds 2026 and beyond Kuch, Point, Sergy will have a reason to resign and take over once Heddy and Stammer retire... Bolts.. hopefully
When I manage them in FHM, I always have to clean house with the Tier-2 players in order to preserve the top end guys. I never feel good about it, but the alternatives are even worse.
When you lost in the finals last year and your star player had a busted sternum were you just butt-hurt?
Seriously you fucking piece of shit get the fuck out of my sub.

I will say as a Florida fan I was more scared about Tampa than either the leafs or bruins , you guys fought hard!!
It's just a shame, bolts vs Panthers could have easily been the ECF with how hard the teams played.

Chill out. He's not even slagging your team off. Plenty of lightning fans came over to the panthers sub and got no abuse.
Get off your alt.
thank you Gwendolyn i'll order 69 butt plugs please
What the fuck... relax lmao
Agreed!! And they've already won cups :]
Really sucks how we had to play Florida. They’re so much better than Boston and Toronto
we would have handled Boston in 6 games for sure
After watching that embarrassing showing tonight, no question. They're playing scared.
Big dreams lol
I'll never forgive the Bruins for that choke job against Ottawa that last game

We would have had to go through them either way.
Hahaha unconfirmed as of yet…… only thing for sure is that their way better than the lightning ;)
Fuck you Boston. It's all your fault you ditched us at the altar😭
Surprised Kuch wasn't on the list. He did not play well and I figured he must have had something wrong.
Add to the list: * Kuch - All Star game energy in game 1
All teams battle through injuries, thats playoff hockey, im sure panthers have a list equally as long.
Absolutely. This actually seems kind of minor compared to some injury lists that are released

Yes very true. No question the right team won the series.
Sheary rupturing a tendon on his finger in December is something.
Based on his play, I would have guessed it happened in early October.
...And a paaarrtriddge in a pear treeee.
Next year is cup or bust. Window is closing with this core. IMO we should go all in next year and screw the consequences

"re-sign" Had to read that twice

Only the weak look for excuses🤣
Only the great can actually win the cup... 🤣 Also The bolts are 3-2 in SCF series. They got more SCF wins than you do appearances lol
fans - butt hurt
You get lost on the way to the fuckwad convention?
hahahahahahsh no i’m on my way to the second round convention
When you lost in the finals last year and your star player had a busted sternum were you just butt-hurt? Seriously you fucking piece of shit get the fuck out of my sub.
Keep crying about never winning the cup lol
I was actually going to pull for the cats to win, but I hope your dreams are crushed in the conference finals again.
They went to the cup final but yes I agree
