    Vasy has just not been the X-Factor we needed him to be

  2. CruelRuin

    starting to think this ain’t gonna be our year boys

  3. MsstatePSH

    my next few weeks have suddenly opened the fuck up.

  4. zombiegurl1031

    I love this team but this is just not their year

  5. So many emotions, none of them good.

    Was a good run.

  6. mwGuardBum

    Downvote me all you want. We pay Vasy a metric shit ton of money to make great saves. He does that, and this series is 3-1 Tampa.

  7. crispychiggin

    I’m more shocked tonight than I was when Brock Lesnar ended the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania.

  8. Glowinthedarkpants07

    We can’t go to the Finals every year and we have been spoiled with a once in a generation team, but I don’t understand how we fucking lost these last 2 games.

  9. BoobyRyan

    Let off the gas completely in the third and just carried that right into overtime, Team rolled over and died

  10. agulde28

    It was a fun season. But choking 2 games just cost them the season.

  11. Lansdallius

    That choke was catastrophic. I know they’re missing Cernak but blowing that lead was unacceptable. Pathetic, even.

    This series ends on Thursday, this team doesn’t have it this year, assuming they actually still want it. Best case scenario, they’re just out of gas and need a longer offseason. Maybe they’ll come back next year actually ready to finish off games like they did for the previous three years.

  12. BulinWall24

    To give up leads in back to back games like that we definitely deserve to get eliminated next game.

  13. computertek

    Nice going, blowing a 3 goal lead…Toronto deserved the W

  14. backyard_BUM

    Hey I remember watching us come back 1-3 against the penguins, we can do this boys

  15. Mayflower023

    Well deserved loss I guess. Dominated most of the game but it doesn’t matter when you lose a 4-1 lead in 6 minutes

  16. studioguy9575

    Awful. Just awful. Historic collapse.

    I understand you don’t play the same way when the score is 4-1 as you do when it’s 1-1… but this game fell apart quick as soon as we took our foot off the gas in the 3rd period.

    Shameful ending to the game… and this season.

  17. JBurlison92

    Leafs finally get through round 1, and it’s gotta be against us of course. Fucking joke of a team this year.

    Good news is my week nights just became a lot more free. We deserve all the shit that we get, especially Vasy.

  18. Vasy playing poorly really emphasizes how terrible our defense is and how much we’ve relied on Vasy the past three seasons.

  19. anonymousmouse17

    They looked absolutely pathetic. Worst part is, I feel so bad for Killorn. Him and the rest of the second line came out to play the full 60 minutes, while Kuch, Stamkos, Vasy and everyone else went home after the first period. This is probably Killorn’s last series with the Lightning, and him, Cirelli, and Hagel were the only ones that showed up

  20. Chaffey21

    If there’s any team to choke. 3-1 lead it’s the leaf’s let’s not forget

  21. You can’t blame the refs sorry boys.

    We had a 4-3 PP to start and a 4-1 lead and blew it.

    This team just doesn’t have *it*

  22. CozyCoruption

    Bruins fan here…good heavens, I’m in shock. Two straight games where the Lightning of all teams blow a 3rd period lead and lose in OT, at home…pretty unreal. But hey, this is the Maple Laughs you’re playing against. Nothing saying they’re winning this series yet. Win Game 5 in Toronto (please?) and get back home for game 6 and see what happens.

    F the Leafs.

  23. JulioForte

    Lol at all you people shitting on the team, the difference in you lauding them vs saying they are chokers are some soft goals given up by Vasy.

    I’ll always be indebted to Vasy for the last 3 years. He was unbelievable. He’s been terrible for us this series and there is no arguing it. Even the advanced statistics prove it out.

    Let’s hope he can recapture the magic next year or maybe in Game 5

  24. Wings fan here

    Jon Cooper learned nothing from his game 3 turtle so he fucking does it again

    Vasilevskiy has been awful
