R1: Tampa Bay Lightning (A2) vs. Florida Panthers (A3)

Again, if a player was supposed to be ejected, I don’t think their goals should count.

I think NHL has to have extra consideration for dirty hits against star players. And give harsher suspensions for them.

Artem Zub's elbow to Tavares face without the puck in vicinity, Hagel on Barkov, Ekblad on Hagel, etc... a league has to protect its stars like the NBA does....otherwise it means the top players can't play freely, and their careers end earlier.

Looking at these hits....getting zero games or 1 game suspensions......how the F did Bunting get 3 games for his hit on Cernak?

I mean aside from bc he was a Leaf.

If Tampa wins the series and the Leafs somehow fail to advance....this Tampa team is going to be injured to hell after this round.

You answered your own question.

 

[L K]

The hockey gods are degenerates....Ekblad tied the game.

FFS Tampa

Good god its 3-2 Florida.

 

[herman]

That’s quite the collapse

I turned the channel for 2 mins to check the election and the Panthers get 2 goals.....now 3.

 

[Derk]

That is unfortunate. Getting tired of the cheap shots not getting called under the guise of "playoff hockey". How many players need to get hurt?

If Florida is healthy, they are going to be hard for anyone to beat.

Of course they are healthy though. Only opposition players get suspended for illegal hits.
