Tampa Bay Lightning Playoff Thread 2022

Go Bolts!

 

Calling tilly...Come in tilly. Lol.

 

Series is tied 2-2 going into the next game on May 12th at 7:30 ET. Florida Panthers have also tied up their series 2-2.

 

Was the Lightning game tonight scheduled for tonight postponed until the 12th?

 

Tonite at 7:30 in Toronto

 

My mistake. You are correct. The next game is tonight, May 10.

 

Sorry guys. I got some heat from posters for doing it the last two years so I held off. (I was going to wait until there was a round two.)

That and I've never had a good feeling about this team.

(For some reason I wasnt prompted in my notifications that I was tagged here and dont come to SG much between the spring game and August.)

Maybe my posting will break the jinx.

Blowing a two goal lead last night and having yo win game 6 and 7 is a terrible spot.

Vassy has looked human and we miss chance after chance to clear pucks and score on open looks.

That game should have been 4-0 last night by 1st intermission.

I think they are tired.

They have had 4 months of playoff hockey that the other teams havent had, coupled with shortened offseasons and lnjuries that have disrupted rhythm.

Im not giving up, but I am pretty down about this team right now. Maybe an early exit and LONG offseason will allow the team to rest and regain a hunger. There are still some years left in their cup window.

 

What a goal by Cirelli!

 

Huge win in OT to force game 7!
⚡️Go Bolts!⚡️

 

Indeed. The "This is a Gator Football forum!" Crowd.

Man I thought they were dead last night.
Blowing another 2 goal lead.

Somehow they found a way.

It took OT of game 6 for Vassy to look like his true self. But with the season on the line he made 3 incredible saves to keep them alive.

Pointer finally got rewarded for how hard he has worked.

The only bad part of such a great win is we have 48 hours of anxiety now lol.

Go Bolts⚡⚡⚡⚡

 

Mishkin is the GOAT. Him and Espo are basically the embodiment of the fanbase at any given moment.

 

Game 7 baby!
Go Bolts!

 

And we are going to have 3 hours of clenched butt cheeks Saturday... It's ok though. Bolts!

 

Late to the party but along for the ride!

Game 7 baby! Lets go Bolts!

 

I had no idea that the Maple Leaf playoff history was so dismal. This article, Lightning won’t dwell on Maple Leafs’ playoff misfortunes, has the details and how the Lightning won’t focus on the poor history.

Hopefully, the recent playoff history is kept in place.
