T&C Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Traffic here in the Tampa outlying areas has cut down considerably. Either they are at the "watch parties" or they've hunkered down at the house and have their supplies a going. Blue Jackets 4-1... I hope anyways.

njbuff Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Ever since Tampa started out game one with a 3-0 lead, they have been outscored 11-1 in the series. Wait, what????????? Imagine having one of the greatest regular seasons imaginable, then getting swept right out of the playoffs? Ouch. Tamp had better wake the F up or that is EXACTLY what is going to happen.

Sometimes they can’t avoid going on a mission for a great season, but why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they can’t avoid going on a mission for a great season, but why bother? I am not taking anything away from Columbus. My post was more of a bashing Tampa thing. With the season they had and the way they started game one, they thought this was going to be easy and they took their foot off the gas peddle. Now Columbus isn't even allowing Tampa to get back into the car so they can step on the gas peddle again. I know you basically throw everything out once the playoffs start, but this is a disaster of epic proportions for Tampa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Tortorella (sp?) never goes down without a fight, he and Mike Keenan were great game tacticians, despised by everyone all the while Who cares about the regular season if the team is going to the playoffs already?

I have to work with some of their douchebag fans who are in love with the presidents trophy and guaranteed a sweep. Honestly, people down here don't understand hockey overall. All they know is "our team is in this, good for us". They can't even name 5 players on the team much less the head coaches name. This is good, really good.

I didn’t expect them to crater THiS early and it’s fine for a team to go full out in the regular season, Tampa fans can’t be that spoiled by success, not sure they rally have any in baseball either... the Raptors are on their way to six straight regular season glories and quick dismal playoff exits.
