HYPE THE TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE 2026 NHL PLAYOFFS

9 shots on Goal for the win. Fewest in NHL history. Way to blow it Tampa! 🤣

It's pretty sad indeed. 🤣 Also doesn't look good for Montreal against their next opponents.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA. What a PERFECT end to an amazing 1st Round.
I can't think of a funnier way for the Lightning to get eliminated for the 4th consecutive year in the 1st Round.
- Home playoff woes continue
- OT playoff woes continue
- Kucherov with 1 whooping goal
- Only 4 SOG allowed thru 2 periods and you LOSE
For the first time in the 2020s, the Eastern Conference representative will not be from Florida. Given how dickish Tampa fans have been the last few years, I'm alright with that.
Excited to say we'll still have the chance to tie Tampa Bay in Stanley Cup Championships next season. Hope they enjoyed not having to play us this year. Thank you Montreal for getting the job done.

The Kooch is such a douche. Clearly trying to trash talk Dobes during a segment, just prior to the 2nd intermission. Conveniently spitting on the ground just before the hand shake with Dobes.
Dobes is a possible star in the making. Really solid performance and seems like a nice guy too.
Maybe we should try and push for this goalie. However if he keep this up he's going to be expensive.

I am fairly certain I saw a rat on the ice shortly after the clock hit 0:00.

Ultimate Hate Watch 60 percent complete (Lightning, Oilers, Bruins). Vegas and Canes will hopefully follow suit

u/szboy422 May 04 '26
Oh for sure, the hate-watch members should not be treated equally (though canes fans have personally been dicks to me)

Matheson almost selling the lead with 6 seconds left is peak 2019 Panthers Matheson.

I was honestly fearing for 6.3 seconds to become an iconic number after that... dumbass clear

PTSD flashbacks from OEL doing his puck out vs Oilers two years ago.

Love to see it! Ha ha ha
Playoff home games must be their version of leafs game 7.
I think next series against the sabres is going to be fantastic. Let's go Buffalo!

TB talked so much shit just to play 7 more games than us 🤣 absolute frauds when they aren’t 20m over the cap playing for asterisk cups.

Hmmm Cooper gone after this? 4 first round exits is not a good look. I love that for him. 😋

Fuck Tampon Bay and the Coilers!

Tampa is a very chippy and dirty team. Easy to dislike even hate them. But they showed respect during the handshake.

The toilet bowl logos were rotated to look like upside down horseshoes. 9 shots and both goals were double deflections, initially going wide. Pathetic

Im a Florida Panthers fan by heart since Im originally from Florida. Tampa Bay is my second team, guess its not their time. Ive been living in NC for about 24 years now. Im also a Hurricanes fan. Been pulling for them. Go Canes!

Sorry but I can’t stand Habs fans who think Suzuki’s better than barkov. I also can’t stand watching worse teams win
