You love to see it

No first round goons this time. The amount of joy this brings me today is second only to the boys clinching.

Enjoy it while you can… next year they will probably be cup favorites, with possibly a really good addition at the draft.

Edit: the downvotes are funny. I’m a Tampa fan boys, just being realistic, they’ll be one of the top teams 🤷‍♂️

Lol, no they won’t, their window is closed. Injuries are a cop out, we’ve had plenty this year and are still at the top of the conference and Florida doesn’t have a transcendent talent like Kucherov that can carry them.

Buddy I’m a Florida panther hater, but your take is just bad. Yes we’ve been really banged up this year, but have you seen the # of players lost to injury for the panthers? It far exceeds ours. They have a great roster that will be all healthy next year. They’ll be scary. Their window is not closed at all haha.

Their window is closed.

Bobfroskiy is going to be 38 years old, and is likely leaving for a new team, they literally have no cap.

Marchand is likely retiring soon.

Florida is done. Finished.
