Vintage Vasyyyy
Better team won lol
2 points. Take em and run boys
My life expectancy is absolutely shorter than it was before this game started… but who needs a couple extra weeks in the old folks home when you got a W today
They will still only talk about Florida when Vasy had 48 saves
We had absolutely no right winning that game yet here we are. I take back every bad word I ever said about you vasy. Good Lord talk about a steal.
Watching Florida fans leave with so much time left was just 🤌
WE DONT DESERVE VASSY (OR MIKEY)
Really pumped we won but that’s an unacceptable 2nd and 3rd period. Only 5 shots the last 2 periods and getting outshot 50-16 is not going to work usually. Unreal game by Vasy
All of the cats fans in their gdt are crying that the refs screwed THEM 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LFG!!! Can’t believe we won that. Vasy went full god mode!! We sending messages that we’re not to be slept on ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Heating up at the right time. These games matter a ton and having the confidence of beating arguably the best two teams in the conference heading down the stretch is so, so big.
Automaticlead where you at??????
We played like BOOTY after the first but 2 points is 2 points and it’s nice to see Vasy can still completely steal us games lfg on to the west coast
Fuck the Pussy Cats
Good shit boys! Once again proving the kitties are Florida’s second-rate hockey team. Need more of this on the road trip out west
Whose face is more punchable face, Lomberg or Tkachuk?
These last 2 games showed that we can contend if we ride our stars. Big 4 points, wasn’t Kucherov night but still 2 points. Dumba and Duclair have absolutely injected something into this team.
PK Subban is wearing a fucking bathrobe and tee shirt
Look that’s a great win right there, I don’t give a shit how ugly it was. Vasy was an absolute animal, that’s the kind of game that gives you confidence he’s still got it somewhere in there. But holy shit, the coaching staff needs to go back to the drawing board and rethink the strategy when holding a lead. That was an absolutely hideous 2 periods of play. That wasn’t even good structure shut down defense, that was sit back and pray for Vasy/the post to bail us out. It’s malpractice that this hasn’t been fixed given how we went out last year and it’s 100% going to get us bounced again this year if we don’t fix it.
Vasy stealing games again
Man, I know we played awful for the final 30 minutes, but we beat the team with the best record in hockey and Vasi looks like prime Vasi again. I’m happy.
We got absolutely rocked lol but thank god Vasy was playing the best I’ve seen all season and we got some great luck. But zero shots on the power play minus Stammer’s goal and 16-50 in shots is terrible. Stoked we got the win but we have to play way better if we expect to compete in the playoffs.
I love how vasy shut up all the haters with a single performance
They don’t ask how, right?
Beating both the Rangers and Panthers in a row after both teams had been 4-0 against us is definitely a chance to be our turning point.
Now we need to finish business. Win two of the next four games and this road trip is a success.
GIVE ALL 3 STARS TO VASY RIGHT NOW
Something about the panthers just makes me hate them a little more than everyone else. Must be they are a team full of scumbags and whiners.
2nd time since 2010 a team has won by multiple goals while getting outshot 34+
holy fuck yall we still got it
I truly have no idea where the playoff potential of this team lies, but these last 2 games show they’re capable of stringing some things together and making it interesting. Anything can happen once you’re in.
That was honestly an awful and slightly embarrassing game but obviously I’m happy with the two points. And seeing Vasy play like that is awesome. I just really hope we do better going forward.
Florida sub talking about the posts making the saves 😂
Take the win, but it is hard to watch how far this team’s blue line and defensive structure has fallen apart over these last almost 2 seasons.
Guess no one will be whining about 88 being overpaid tonight.
