They took a huge dump in game 1. Let's see how they bounce back tonight. If they lose game 2 and go to South Florida down 2-0, their season is pretty much over.

They gave up three goals in seven minutes at the end and blew game 4. Cooper needs to go coach in the National Dicksucking League!!!

I adore Kucherov, but he can’t accomplish everything on his own. Without Stamkos, the Lightning team isn’t going anywhere.

Earlier in the season, you were claiming that they were the best teams and were on an unstoppable winning streak. I had to gently remind you that things aren’t always as they seem and that it’s important to be realistic.

Thanks for playing


See you next season!

I was absolutely lauded their win streak. Why shouldn't I have? I know how things work in the world of sports. I'm not naive.

Unfortunately , the Lightning will return to shithole like in the early 2000s after Jeff Vinik sold this team.

Also, I never claimed they were the best team or even one of the best teams or on an unstoppable winning streak. That's all made up b.s. on your part.

Odds are in your favor of being right.

So, should we just stop watching and enjoying our team play?

No need to worry. I've never gambled on sports and sure don't intend to start now.
Now, fuck off.

There are rumors that a blockbuster trade between the Oilers and the Lightning is in the works, and it involves Connor McDavid.

If the trade happens, the battle for the right to go to the Stanley Cup will be between Florida and the Lightning.

Bad bad idea. This team needs defenders, not goal scorers.

Here it is
Connor McDavid is a star center for the Edmonton Oilers, while the Tampa Bay Lightning are a successful NHL team. Recent rumors suggest McDavid might be considering a move to the Lightning, potentially in a blockbuster trade.

McDavid's Situation:
McDavid has one year remaining on his contract with the Oilers and can become a free agent in 2026.
Potential Trade Package:
One proposed trade scenario involves the Lightning sending Brayden Point, Isaac Howard, Jack Finley, and Erik Cernak to the Oilers to acquire McDavid.
McDavid's Dominance:
McDavid is widely considered one of the best players in the NHL, known for his exceptional speed and offensive abilities.
Lightning's Perspective:
The Lightning have a strong team and a winning culture, making them an appealing destination for a player like McDavid.
Oilers' Perspective:
The Oilers are also a strong team, and McDavid has expressed his belief in their ability to win a Stanley Cup.
McDavid's Decision:
McDavid has stated he is in no rush to make a decision about his future beyond the 2025-26 season, according to NHL.com.
