Lightning blow a 3-0 lead to lose 4-3. Holy fucking fuck.

Shout out to France's own Alexandre Texier, a 19-year-old centre who in two years went from playing in Grenoble in the French Hockey League to starting in an NHL playoff game.

That kid is going to be a star.

Damn...I was at work and kept checking the score, thought it was a done deal even when Nick Foligno scored to make it 3-1, log back onto Twitter to see that TB pulled the goalie, which prompted me to think "Why in hell would they pull the goalie if they have the ooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh shit..."

Tampa's actually not as great defensively as their regular season dominance suggests. They're not horrid by any means but they're a run-and-gun team for sure.

Glad to see Bob finally buck the narrative for a least one night.

If Tampa somehow blows this, the growing rep of Stamkos as a playoff choker (which I don't care for at all, but it'll be out there) will only gain momentum.

I've seen it mentioned before. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I don't believe #91's postseason numbers are anything to write home about. Again, I hate narratives like this, I don't care if it's Bobrovsky or Datsyuk (early in his career at least) being a playoff performer can be just as much a stroke of dumb luck as anything else. Just look at guys like Fernando Pisani, Bryan Bickell, and the like. I just feel like if Tampa loses this one (and I don't think they will) then people are gonna hyperanalyze this to a ridiculous degree.

It shouldn't be a huge cause for alarm. If I recall correctly, Lumbus won the first two games of last year's opening round on the road, then the Caps promptly steamrolled 'em en route to a Stanley Cup win.

Of course, typed out a reply and lost it.

Stamkos' ppg average does have a drop but I don't know if I've heard the choker label thrown around.

I looked up Nash's numbers and funny enough, Stamkos's playoff ppg is basically the same as Rick Nash's regular season ppg.

Yeah, Datsyuk's early numbers were ugly but had some explanation. A long run as a rookie on that stacked '02 team throws off the numbers a lot. The lean 03, 04 and 06 years I believe he was injured for at least one but they were lean for sure.

Shocked to see Tampa down 2-0, but I could see them winning it in 6 anyway.

Any bets on a Kucherov suspension? I think a game or 2 is in order, but the NHL Wheel of Random Justice will likely disagree.

The Blue Jackets' deadline moves now look pretty smart.

Well I'll take that bet now that it's official. :lol:

Kooch out for game 3 for sure, and I'm reading that Hedman is questionable.

All I gotta say is holy fuckin' shit.

Bolts haven't played a meaningful game in 2 months and it shows. The term 'lackadaisical' comes to mind.
