He's been unreal this series. What a back breaker to win the game like that and take two on the road.

Two really good hockey games last night. What a time to be alive.

Gonna have to tune in for Oiler/Flames tonight. Should be nuts. I can't even believe this is happening.

I'm backing Oilers here on out.
But they will have big challenges coming their way if they get through this round.

Draisaitl is my favorite player who is not on my team.

Watching McDavid play is like an out of body experience. That second goal, holy shit. But I just don't think you can ride Mike Smith very far.

No question. Tampa has the best remaining goalie.
This is their's to lose.

Goaltending isn't everything.
I thought Raanta was out when i predicted a rangers win.
Tampa will struggle with Carolina and the Panthers could still give them a series.
Oilers could beat Tampa but not sure they can beat Blues or Avs. Nah, they can.

Tampa is overrated.
They lack personality.

Lmao wrong.
Second round is over, no way Florida wins four in a row. Bob can't steal a series like that. And the Giroux trade is looking like a big mistake, he's invisible in this series.
As a Tampa fan I'm not afraid of NYR or Carolina. I think our toughest challenge in the East was Toronto.
I could see anyone from the West winning it all though.

That was the best goalkeeper in the league at his very best tonight. Especially during that 6 on 4 at the end. But also Florida had double the shots on goal that Tampa had tonight. That guy is a beast in the net, man he’s fun to watch.

Yeah he was incredible all night. But the shot blocking deserves a nod too. I was skeptical of Tampa's ability to suddenly "turn it on" in the playoffs after a difficult final month but that's one area where they've absolutely turned it on.
I agree with Dev that Carolina is a tougher matchup for Tampa than NYR but I still think they take the East.
Kinda pulling for the Oilers out west so I can watch McDavid some more.
