    We have exorcised our demons!!!!!!!!! Off to Round 2!!!!!

    I have had a cigar outback every time the cats have won a playoff series but this one was somewhat special I know it’s the first round and ultimately doesn’t mean anything but I still remember sitting in my seat for a solid 20 minutes after weegar bungled the Puck behind the net… This was cathartic as all hell.

    GO CATS GO

    My cats were with me for all 4 wins. Saturday I was at my girlfriend’s house. Connection?

    Panthers wore red

    Lightning wore blue

    We finally beat them

    On to round two!

    Ah for the sweet few days of anxiety free living until they open play against the bruins

  13. LEDZ100

    One of the best periods we’ve played all season.

    Lundell stepped up again shutting down Kucherov-Point-Stamkos

    Barkov with a career game

    Verhaeghe doing playoff verhaeghe things

    Bob was fantastic

    Paul with an elite line jumble

    HUGE!!!

  14. MadIrishMan17

    LET’S! FUCKING! GOOOOOOO!!!

    NAH NAH NAH NAH

    HEYHEYHEY

    GOODBYE

    FEELS SO DAMN GOOD.

    PoMo made such a good call mixing the lines in the third. Cooper was line matching and they were getting good looks. Us mixing it up was extremely effective to close the door. So proud of this fucking team. Now we gotta rest up and get ready for round 2!!

    I was making dinner and not fully in front of the tv towards the end—can someone tell me what the lines ended up being? I know they were mixed up but curious exactly who went where

  16. cryinginschool

    I’m sorry, did we win the series, or did Stamkos die?

  17. MilesDavis_Stan

    I’m gonna take a wild guess that Tampa fans are whining about the refs? The refs that gave them the power play/no call edge in all the games?

    We are arguably the best in the league for challenging calls for a reason. They had a dumb challenge in game 2 (? Or was it 1?), and a dumb challenge tonight. But they’re gonna go and complain that the refs were wrong when they were following the rules.

    GG. Florida belongs to the Cats. Tampa gonna be stuck in the perennial cycle of making the playoffs and being first round exits because they’re too proud to tank.

    EVERYBODY GET IN HERE, WE JUST BEAT TAMPA

  23. Zen-Brovahkiin

    So happy we beat Tampa. Now we just need to keep rolling and beat everyone

  24. iryrod

    You’ve gotta love the tampa bay whiners coming in here. They just make their team look worse

  27. Kira_Onime

    Good fucking job cats.

    The earlier I stop hearing about TB the better

    Signed :: Mtl fan

    Now good luck against Boston (I don’t see Toronto coming back from this one)

  28. No_mas_Pantalones77

    I DONT GIVE I PIIIIIIIIIISSSSS ABOUT NOTHIN BUT THE CATS

  29. cammmiebearr

    The arena was electric. Hearing everyone break out into Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye was amazing.

  30. SpecialistVast6840

    Congrats panthers fans. Honestly i totally forgot the cats were in the finals last year lol, you guys are due, and you have a great team to do it.

  31. chungardian

    Hockey isn’t exactly a sport I watch religiously but from what I’ve seen the fan based seem a lot cooler than, the NBA fanbases, for example.

    Except the Canadian teams. Those fuckers seem insane

  33. Blue_Liner_85

    Barkov breakout playoff performance! LFG! Finally slayed the dragon, onto the next one!

  34. TkilledJ

    Barky celly is LIFE!! Never seen him so animated, it was awesome! LFGGGGG!

  35. Andresgeo

    It’s crazy how much Tampa fans are complaining about refs. Straight saying they believe that refs are putting bets on games LMFAOOOOOO

  38. layout420

    Not a lot of Tampa fans in the building tonight. They knew. Long time coming. Great win, boys!

  39. JizzertonRoad

    Plot twist. Stamkos comes to panthers next year.

  40. UsayNOPE_IsayMOAR

    Holy crap Panthers! Canucks fan visiting, your game highlights have been great to watch. Battle of Florida was pretty amazing. But 6-1? Gat-dayum, y’all grounded that lightning with authoritah!

    I guess having the points and assists leader doesn’t quite translate to playoffs against a well-rounded team.

    **CONGRATS ON YOUR HUGE WIN, and good luck in round 2!!**

    Edit: Bob is getting the Vezina. Demko was awesome this season but…this season. Hellybuck been good, but neither of them can hold a candle to Bobrovsky

  42. ScuderiaEnzo

    Psychological hurdle: #COMPLETED.

    On to the next one!

  43. ExtensionAnything212

    Great series, the end results don’t paint the picture of how close these games felt. I’m proud of our team their grit, discipline, and vision is laser focus. 12 more to go. Go Cats!!!

  44. Technology4Dummies

    So glad we got our revenge! Feels nice!

  45. deucemcsizzles

    I HAD A LONG ASS DAY AT WORK AFTER BEING ON VACATION IN VEGAS LAST WEEK AND TUNED IN TO THE VGK GAME AND ONLY JUST NOW SAW THAT LOS GATOS CRUSHED THE BOLTS AND ARE ON TO THE 2ND ROUND! GO CATS GO!

    Sorry for yelling, I was excited after I saw the highlights on ESPN.

  46. Fappy-Boi-

    GGs Florida bros, yall were clearly the better team. I’d be exiled and crucified in our sub for saying this but I hope yall bring the cup back home.

    I know we’re supposed to be “hated rivals” or whatever but the amount of irrational hate that our state get from the rest of the country and (perhaps even more-so) Canadian fans just makes me want to see yall win it all even more.

    One way or another, the Cup belongs in Florida. Good luck!

    PS: Please completely embarrass Boston

    When Sasha scored that shorty, my heart learned that this is destiny.
