This falls squarely on the shoulders of Strome- Anybody on this board would’ve score that goal- game over

Way to go Stamkos. Fought a 20 year old you (frank)ing clown. What a tough guy.

Tonight ? The last 3 games

Blew game 3 and gave up a late goal and now tonight can't finish on some great chances and then give up a late goal. Championship teams take advantage of the chances they get as did tampa. Copp and strome can't be re-signed. Hope we play our best game Saturday, as we have when our backs are against the wall, but that is a demoralizing one

Both goals on bad jobs by the forwards. Rooney with a weak attempt to go around the net and boards and then failed to block the shot. Kreider was right there with stick or body and missed making contact. Strome just stands there and he has half a wide open net.

Love the experience of getting to the ECF, but this team is not ready yet.

they still think playing half a game is supposed to be good enough

I don’t see how you blame Copp for him making a beautiful Pass to a wide open Strome

at least panarin looked halfway decent.
- Mtlca66

Yeah he was much more engaged and his making smarter plays with the puck. I think part of the issue is he's playing with strome and copp lol

I'm not on that play, I'm blaming him for passing up a shot earlier and being very average the entire series

If strome makes that like anybody should have- Copp woukd Be a hero

Not going to disagree.
This team went much further than expected, show some more effort. Granted the Lightning have won it the last two years, but come on, bring it on home ice when you're down. Not as though we were outplayed, we were out-efforted.
Tampa knows how to win and we plum quit.

Top line out there again giving up a last minute goal, that can’t happen twice in a series

We trump any other fans beef with the refs forever after tonight. I don’t know which of the 100 penalties missed has me the most upset I think the Kakko closeline defense is the winner tho. Literally looking right at it too, infuriating

Strome and Rooney make me vomit. Please leave my team… you both have worn out your welcome

Let’s see just how big their balls have grown this year. Saturday is a game that can get away from them very quickly if they’re not careful.

They’re at their best up against the wall, all we can do is hope 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nah he made a great play. Bogosian was blocking that all day

Only out effort in the first 10min of the 3rd.the second half of the 3rd we owned the Lighting and majority of the game I thought they played well.

You are not going to dominate the Lightning all game long. They are a half decent team.

I don't know TJ, being down 3-2 against Tampa is much different than every other series.
They smell blood in the water in their home arena.

- Slimtj100

No the 2 on 1 where he passed up a shot to pass to zibby. The one to strome was the right pay for sure

we're going to get the patented vasilevskiy series ending shutout and it's going to drive me up a (frank)ing wall.

Stay calm guys, it's still going 7. I'm even calling OT in game 7.

I'm doing the Messier Guarantee.

not watching a minute of the final need a break from hockey after this

Ah ok. Copp has been frustrating, as have many of them lol

One way or another it's going to be a great final. Take the (obvious) break after. I'm looking forward to it. Only sport I watch.
