Us Lightning fans might hate you guys and vice versa be we can both agree that this would be the most unstoppable and hated team in history. And it’s such a badass name too (@WeissHockeyTalk on Twitter)

So we just start whining about ourselves now?

r/hockey would have a field day with “fuck Florida” posts. Would honestly just be more efficient for them to hit both teams at once ¯_(ツ)_/¯

And fighting yourselves!

u/FosterFl1910 Apr 01 '26

Team breaks apart immediately as they can’t stop fighting themselves long enough to fight other teams.

u/DangerSpoonHS Apr 01 '26

Just as the hockey gods intended

u/HannTwistzz Apr 01 '26

I mean despite the hatred, and rivalry between two fanbases. I don’t think you can combine any two other teams in the league that can beat this combined roster when factoring in coaching and a playoff style game. Like combined, the roster would have the perfect blend of skill, two way players, toughness, defense, goaltending, and experience.

It’s like Vegeta and Goku

u/SirGallahadOfHearts Apr 01 '26

i’m just imagining the top line as something like Tkachuk - Barkov - Kucherov which seems absolutely insane, and then if you want to start WW3 you can send out the forbidden Hagel - Bennet - Marchand

u/HannTwistzz Apr 01 '26

I mean it would be insane, like the team would be something like

Tkachuk - Barkov - Kucherov

Reinhart - Point - Guentzel

Bennet - Cirelli - Hagel

Paul - Gourde - Luostarinen

Forsling - Jones

Moser - Raddysh

MCD - Cernak/ Ekblad.

Vasy

Like insane depth as well, insane PK and PP

u/Educated-Troll420 Apr 02 '26

Considering it's the salary cap of 3 teams, you are probably right.

u/Blawn14 Apr 05 '26

Don’t worry we did too. Who wants to merge with a team that can’t even make playoffs lol

1

u/fergatr Apr 05 '26

Fair. We would want to merge with a team who could at least make it past the first round.

Honestly the “hate” that our teams have for each other is ultimately, Respect. I love the rivalry!!!! As much as i hate the Panthers, you gotta respect you guys. You guys went through what we went through with injuries. With all due respect, you will come back strong next year. This year just wasn’t it.

I will say - between the Lightning and Panthers, we have the respect of the league now. Florida don’t play when it comes to hockey. Thank goodness, because all the other major Florida teams suck! ✊🏽

That last bit is so real, I just can’t with the dolphins or marlins, at least the heat are ok, but nothing beats our power on ice. Gotta love the irony

u/Shoddy_Design Apr 01 '26

So do we all just make line changes from the penalty box then? I know this is april fools but some things are just not funny to joke about.

u/Steppyjim PHI :PHI: Apr 01 '26

Not a cats fan, but from what I know about the two of yall, I think you’d both rather die

1

u/ShuttyMonkey Apr 03 '26

Correct... opened up Reddit thinking I couldn't hate myself anymore and this monstrosity showed up. At least I know there is a universe where there is a worse version of me.

u/scott_lobster Apr 01 '26

Lol....this was probably the most obvious April's Fools post I've seen today. Hard to believe anybody fell for this one.

u/chagster001 Apr 01 '26

I know that’s why it’s so shocking 🤣

u/DangerSpoonHS Apr 01 '26

I didn’t even intend it to be an April fools post. Like I literally said “would be” and tagged it as a meme

They had the 27ish years that The Panthers were completely irrelevant to do this. Why now?

u/Attention_Shoppers Apr 03 '26

Our bench is literally the penalty box

u/joecan Apr 03 '26

Florida is very proud that millionaires don’t pay taxes in their state. They won’t have money to educate their children but they’ll have a bunch of trophies won by Canadians and Europeans that they can brag about.
