Blue Heaven Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Fuck CBJ. I want another first. Seriously, big difference in having pick #31, #33, than #33, #60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Bob saved that game for them. Of the three goals he gave up, the 2nd was a soft rebound but you can't fault him for 1 or 3. That game could've been 6-1 or 7-1 at the end of the 2nd.

Stephen Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Fuck TBL. It's not objective. I understand the pick. I fucking hate them though, still bitter to say the least. I feel your pain, we hate that franchise with a passion: because the STILL broke my heart in 2015 and had a great laugh when they choked away the ECF last year by not scoring in two-and-a-half games.

Stephen Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 This! Fucking love Torts so much. Didn’t get a chance to watch the game, but from the condensed game, it seemed like first period Bobrovsky was terrible and then he was lights out. Second and third period Bobby was a completely different tender. You can't take his success for granted when he was with us and with TBL. He took us deep in 2012 and won a Stanley Cup in '04 with St. Louis and Lecavalier. Torts is a winning coach. Don't @ me on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were moving away from that style of play in the NHL, and TBL does not have the mental toughness in order to go deep in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodka Drunkenski Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Some are acting like it?s the Islanders, it?s the fucking Tampa Bay Lightning, who gives 2 shits about them. Get the first round draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatrosss Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I really don't get the hate for TBL? why, cause they were/are better than us? Now Shittsburg is the team to hate with passion. tanked for Mario, given Crosby, all calls always go their way (ex: last night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be more upset with the Rangers b/c they decided not to show up for that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, how dare they try and win a stanley cup right? a team that isn't the islanders, devils, flyers or penguins winning the cup moves us up 30 spots in the draft. That's big. I support it.

phillyb Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 See...sure you guys can try and draw parallels to who our real "rivals" are - but the Rangers haven't shown up to play the Isles in ages. The Flyers and Devils are just about as irrelevant as the Rangers, so it doesn't feel like a rivalry. Pitt is just...considerably better than us now, so again...I don't hate them the same way I do a team that shut us out, then collected our players. Fuck the fucking lightning.

Fuck the fucking lightning. regional rivalries will always be a thing. I'm just not understanding the reason for hating Tampa. Not saying you can't hate them. You wanna hate them, go for it lol. I just think whatever the reason is, it's not worth dropping (or not jumping) 30 spots in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Well, that's why it's an emotion. It's not meant to be rational. lol. And you consider the Islanders a rival? The Devils? I don't really think either of those have been as deep of a rivalry in at least a few seasons, maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 This notion that Tampa is a "record breaking" dominant team is absurd. They had 49 regulation wins in an 82 game schedule. I just eye balled the standings for the 1970s. Using 47 wins in an 78 game schedule as the equivalent of 50 in an 82 game schedule, a total of 26 teams in the 1970s had 50 regulation wins in a season. Tampa's record is just a product of numerous ties becoming wins in our every kid gets a trophy era. They are a fairly average first place team by historical standards.

How is Pitt "considerably better than us now", but not Tampa? You don't hate pitt because they just are better than us, but you hate Tampa for knocking us out of the playoffs once, because they were better than us. We shut ourselves out, in back to back home games. Hate the '15 Rangers instead lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be easier if the Jets are knocked out and Dallas gets to the WCF :D I couldn't care less about the Jets, or Kevin Hayes, so I'm okay with them being eliminated. I'm fine with Dallas getting to the WCF or even going all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
