2-0 so far, that’s what.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
Florida is going to destroy whichever team wins on Saturday. Aside from perhaps Nashville, Toronto and Boston are the two worst remaining playoff teams.

What do you mean whichever team?
I thought you assured Boston was going to advance a couple games ago.

I still think they will but regardless of the outcome the winner of this series is going to get rinsed by the Panthers.
We are watching a titanic struggle between two mediocre teams that between them have a less than zero percent chance of winning the Cup this season. The Panthers could play both teams on alternating nights and annihilate both of them in turn.

Did Keefe seriously think he was asked if he was going to decline PPs?
Wayward DP

so uhh... Vasi might be cooked. and if he is, so is Tampa's window.

yeah TBay is pretty much just a wicked PP now.

Yeah, it's a concern going forward for them. Backs, hips, knees are major wear items for goalies and he's always had a quick twitch athletic style. Might take him a while to learn to adjust if the athleticism isn't coming back.

well and Kuch is still elite. Point nearly as good.

Kuch is great but he's kinda just a goalsuck now.

A goalsuck with 100 assists.

Also, Tampa's organization has pretty much reached the end of it's ability to continue pounding out good NHL bodies to fill in gaps. Their system is pretty fucking bare, no 1st rounder until 2026, and no picks this year until the 5th round. Youngest roster contributors are all 25-26 now, so they're all getting paid or about to get paid (Bagel's sweetheart 1.5M deal is over now).
Hard to say they're cooked with as solid a core as that is. But they definitely need to pull a few rabbits out of their hat to find enough solid cheap depth because they've got no ELC help coming.
