Detroit Red Wings @ Tampa Bay Lightning Gamethread

In what way will this game go to OT?

GG Wongs

>Kucherov sick

gg we lost

just hoping this wings team can put the lightning out of there misery

Lmao, do you know who you are playing?

t-thanks I guess

dam mantha got pumped. Is this guy a goon who was placed in the lineup for this specific reason

>Witkowski fighting again
Why?
Is Mantha worth the 5 minutes?

I guess so

For what Mantha did last game, when he got a little carried away and landed a few extra punches when the guy was going down

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Witkowski is usually a Defenseman but is put as a forward due to half the team being dead
Probably put up front as a goon for grit

Lel, didn't see that was coming tbf

hes only played 27 games this year for you guys. Guess hes in the lineup cause injuries

>Brown chimping out
When will the meme end?

Oh shit ouellette popped him hard. Love this rivalry even though the wings always lose

>rivalry
Bolts/Bruins are a more legitimate rivalry

What? I doubt that. These two teams hate each other

Overexposure
Tampa/Bombston transcends hockey

>islanders down 5-0 in the first

I just saw that on the ticker at the bottom of the screen
Brutal

what the fuck are you even talking about?

I have never even heard of that rivalry tbf

Why because the Rays and Red Sox? Literally nobody gives a fuck about that """"rivalry"""" because the Rays fucking suck.

God I fucking hate baseball I wish the Rays would relocate already.

>Wongs always lose
Some rivalry

I hope the Rays leave soon

Do you even know what a rivalry is?

>one team is asspained because they lose
>play each other in the playoffs two years in a row
Doesn't really come off as a "rivalry"

>7 game series
>5 game series where a few games could have went either way. Mrazek bed shitting caused them the loss. Abdelkader working tampa into a fit. Fights galore, both fan bases triggered . You still havnt proven how tampa vs boston is a rivalry.

No one in Tampa cares about this "rivalry"
Just because Wongs hate the Bolts doesn't make a rivalry

This -->

No one in tampa cares about hockey period. If this were football it would have the whole city talking. If you went to any hockey based forum both fan bases were butt hurt. Also you're delusional if you think tampa doesnt care. Dont bother responding, you've proven you're an idiot.

No one locally in the media is talking about this game

that's because the local sports media would rather fucking talk about spring training baseball despite the Lightning being in the middle of a playoff race. That's why I want the Rays to fucking move.

>Bolts
>playoffs
I don't see it happening

>USA Media not talking about hockey. Wow what a fucking surprise. Even your announcer have mentioned how these teams hate each other.

Let's Go Red Wings

Thank you?....I guess

Tampa/detroit sports radio were livid at each other during their first 7 games series, was pretty funny shit to listen to.

And more often than not they end up fighting while playing, and the fan bases generally agree they don't like each other.

It's nothing like wings-avs tier but it's obvious there's a budding rivalry.

>Brown scores
What alternate reality did I wake up in?

nothing will ever reach that tier in todays game. The game was played much dirtier back then.

Hell yeah. Probably better to leave it that way, players these days are not made for that shit.

Yeah i love old school hockey and i dont want the game to become soft but that was a bit extreme.
>mfw a fag says fighting should be taken out of hockey

>zazzed by Affirmative Blacktion

>Coburn out for blood
Calm down, you fuck

>Sustr scores
What the fuck is going on tonight?
Kuch is sick and all the jobbers start scoring

>Mantha may not be back tonight
Goddamn, Witkowski

>mantha hurt

Witkowski Abdul Qadir'd when?

damn nice shift. Cant believe Sheahan is goalless

He has to have been working hard on keeping it that way. It's hard not to score for this long

Mantha fractured finger done for season :(
He hasnt looked terrible despite not scoring

Thank you Kaiser!

>Mantha fractured finger done for season :(
Damn, that really sucks. Good thing it happened so late in the season though I guess.

>He hasnt looked terrible despite not scoring
Exactly. He has had quite a few pretty good chances

Danny D!

yeah i guess its not a huge loss at this point. you just hope he recovers fine

I don't even like the Wongs and I hope he recovers
I'm not a fan of injuries

Yeah. Fingers can be tricky. Hopefully it's not too bad, it's not like he got Crosby'd

Thank you :)
I appreciate that.

>Lightning PP

>power play without Kucherov

no way we score

DANNY HAS TWO GOALS TONIGHT KEK

L M A O

man that is rouuuuughhh

>Danny D with two

>DeKeyser with the go ahead

>Lightning PP

What kind of a hat-trick is DeKeyser going for?

dayum

If he gets into a fight we can coin the "DeKeyser hat trick"
>goal
>own goal
>fight

we were playing so good until larkin chipmed out. to be fair the hit was after the whistle

in short: dyke trick

Nice. That doesn't sound too impossible. Or a concussion and he'd get a Laine hat trick

Plenty of time left!

I don't appreciate the way this game is going

watching the end of the canes game. Flip back, wing immediately scored on. Well i think this one is over

Yep, it's hard to see how they're going to get back in the game now

>yanni with another one
I like that kid I hope he makes it

>Brown gets the first star of the game for getting into a fight

GG, Tampa
Have a nice evening :)

GG, Tampa
