    I’m so glad we’re done playing the Habs this season.

  3. dolewhiplash

    Fuck the Habs. I’m so glad we eliminated them tonight.

    Hope Cirelli and Hagel are okay, we really need them healthy.

  5. BigBuddha15

    Atomic levels of salt from Montreal. 3 Kuch points and a win with Tomkins in goal is fine by me

    Edit: The fact the boys were getting runs taken at them right after a very physical game last night and still pulled it out is a great sign

  7. HannTwistzz

    Kucherov really said I ain’t going off, and nearly threw it trying to give Paul the hatty.

  8. Wayf4rer

    Fuck ugly win, but a win nonetheless. Tompkins made some big saves, 3rd line had a really strong outing, and Kuch picks up 3 points for the Hart race. Fingers cross Tony is okay and Stamkos didn’t concuss Hagel on that big open ice hit 💀.

  9. blueeyephoto

    Was TonyC injured when he got his helmet ripped off and tackled in the 1st? Didn’t see home on the PKs or the end of the game so did i miss him coming out?

  10. Three_Froggy_Problem

    I’m not gonna pretend that I’m happy with the third period, but it did make for a much more exciting finish which is always great. I also think it was an impressive game considering it was the second of a back-to-back.

    Hopefully Hags is okay. Obviously he was injured but at least he got up and skated himself off the ice. I hope that’s a good sign.

  11. Allen_Koholic

    The fucking fuck was Stamkos doing there when he trucked Hagel?

  13. Playmaker167

    Was at work. What happened to Cirelli and Hags??

  14. Bigstakes7287

    Montreal will forever hate Kuch and the Lightning. We gave them a hard taste of reality with their Cinderella, miracle, storybook run three years ago. They thought it was destined and to beat the reigning champs would be the greatest ending to the storyline but we fucking crushed them….embarrassingly…then Kuch with the interview. Lmao

  16. Overseer190_

    Gotta give some slack for Tomkins. He was decent for an AHL call up and many of our players (Kuch especially) generated goals and points. The guy in charge of the Montreal goal horn must’ve been extremely salty though lol

  17. nautica5400

    Need Hagel to be OK going into the playoffs. The versatility he brings from the 1st and 2nd lines can’t be matched.

  19. Gwendolyn1994

    That was a really fun game tbh. Ngl thought they were catching up at the end. But Kucherov to Stamkos, THE CLASSIC LIGHTNING ELITE DUO. and boom that seals the deal. Canadians failed to play Spoiler. they can east dirt lmao.

  20. Cakeygoodness666_

    Stressful AF 3rd period but happy we got the W. Hope Hagel & Tony are okay. I read that Lilliberg was also not on the bench for a while but came back towards the end of the 3rd. Glad the boys have tomorrow off to rest…. Thompkins keeping us alive tonight too ⚡️⚡️

  21. NoSignSaysNo

    Habs gonna have to pick a nice vacation destination now that we eliminated them.

    Fuck the Habs. Fuck their injury-wishing fans. Fuck Canada. Florida plays better hockey than Canada.

  22. likeslululemon

    Please be ok Hagel and Cirelli. And Jojo. And Jeannot.

    ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

  23. JustineLeah

    We looked exhausted in the 3rd period.

    We saw what happened to Hagel, but any idea what happened to Cirelli?

  24. lavasmack

    Nick Paul’s wrister has been narsty as of late

  25. Mythalium

    Guys, I’m sorry, my laptop was open for all four goals against and closed for all seven goals for. The laptop will no longer be welcome on the couch while the bolts are playing.

    PS get fucking eliminated bozos

  28. Berama6

    I’d be crying too if the highlight of my team was bum Arber Xhekaj 😭

  29. Brittle_Bones_Bishop

    Stamkos has been really solid dude turned on his ability to score in the past 10 games.

    Also Paul reached 20 goals and 20 assists dude is so fucking good.

    Also Also Vasilevskiy not that it applies to this game but Vasy has a .923 Sv% over the past 5 games.

  30. LemmyThePirate

    It’s getting real close to Knob Creek and spicy time.
