1. Typical Bolts playoff loss. Score two goals in about a 5 minute span and do nothing for the other 55

2. Better team won, again.

   This team has absolutely no chance in this series with Kucherov and the top line showing up.

3. We haven’t been the better team, period

4. Dating back to the Shattenkirk goal vs Dallas, our playoff OT record is now 1-11. We get so close and the games just slip away from us. Brutal.

5. That’s what happens when you miss 2 wide open and can’t score with a 4 minute pp[](https://twitter.com/FvckToddG/status/1782963346561523840)

6. Kucherov needs to figure it the fuck out. He is turning the puck over every time he touches it

7. Bob is gonna haunt my dreams tonight

8. Dumba and Tony chances in the second are going to haunt me. The team left Vasy out to dry in the third and OT, especially in OT when they couldn’t get possession at all OR clear the puck. They showed they can keep it close, now it’s time to show up for all 3 periods at home

9. Not going to win an overtime by standing around and watching in your own end

10. The ending score was close, sure, but Florida has looked like the better team for 7 periods.

11. goddammit

12. Fuck

13. man its rough being a Bolts and Magic fan this postseason

14. Man that hurt. Half assed effort in OT to fall 0-2 in the series

15. Knew we’d be down 2-0 as soon as it went to OT. Legitimately, I don’t even remember last time we won a playoff OT.

16. This is so painful man… you win some cups, then they just bleed you dry with salary cap issues, then you just watch slow playoff deaths like this…. Man I really hope Coop lights some kinda fire under the boys back home 

17. Kuch a liability on the ice for the entire game

18. I think it may be time for Tampa to release the goon squad. Glennie Watson and jeannot fourth line third line leave chaffe and mikey and paul let them run amuck

19. this is so ass

20. honestly since the OT game 1 vs the Avs we just haven’t found a way to win close games in the playoffs. I don’t know what the fuck kucherov is doing right now. we might be cooked

21. This team has no heart or passion. Vasy fucking stood on his head and gave it his all. Fuck everyone on this team rn. Again our stars don’t show up. Kucherov is a damn liability someone and we keep making dumb mistakes. It’s over. This team is fucked

22. I miss the days when we were the better team for all 60 minutes

23. We can get the goals it’s just we can’t keep the momentum. Take back the momentum, take back the series

24. This team can’t play a full 60 and then add on OT.

25. We’re fucking cooked. What was that effort in OT. I’m puzzled.

26. Throw away first periods and piss about in OT. Do we have to win it in the two periods we actually function in?

    Game 3 back in Tampa. If it’s more of the same then I don’t know what to say

27. You don’t miss a golden opportunity at a goal like what Jumba had in a game like this one and still win it. Have to score that fucking goal, idc how insane the save was

28. As good as *that* save was, it felt like Dumba was too complacent shooting the puck there

29. That Dumba miss is haunting. We had our chances to win this one but they made the plays. Not scoring on a 4 minute PP will get you beat.

    JBB needs to turn this whole D core over except for Hedman and maybe Lilleberg this offseason. They just aren’t good enough. Can’t move the puck, can’t break it out of the zone, not particularly physical and too much standing around. Lot of fat to cut

30. We won’t win this series playing reactive hockey. We can’t just try and defend them all game we need to create scoring opportunities

    Embarrassing postseason start

31. dumbass is so useless
    the young dman for us cant do anything its so sad how bad our d is…

    For the love of god can someone bury verhaeghe’s bitch ass when he gets anywhere near the net… he has had free reign so far

32. Four guys puck chasing and leaving the back door open. Jesus it’s basic hockey.

33. matt dumba, be prepared to speak mormon

34. A sweep feels very likely and a series win feels almost impossible. You can tell the guys were giving it all tonight and all they managed was an OT loss. We’re just not the better team here.

    Kuch has been a problem. It’s not just that he’s disappeared, which would maybe be preferable. He’s actively hurting us with some of these turnovers.

35. Got Crushed in turnovers, especially in the neutral zone

    Idk guys, the bolts seem way too “calm” to be in the playoffs.

36. Well, shit.

37. 4 minute power play…….for the supposed #1 pp team

38. Scoring chances: 43-24 Florida, high danger 25-12 Florida. We’re a fuckin joke and I hope we get swept

39. rip

40. and of course the best chance of the game lands on dumba’s stick and he fucks it up

    like FUCKING COME ON IT COULDN’T HAVE BEEN LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE THERE?

41. Play. Off. Bob. That save won the game.

42. Um, hot take, but the home team gets last change and is favored to win. We lost by 1 goal each game and everyone’s talking about rebuilding?

43. I will not be purchasing Saturday tickets now lol

44. I kept my expectations very low for the post season but it still hurts man, still hurts

45. Auston Watson needs to be in next game. We have literally no muscle on this team.

46. Pain

47. I believe my exact words on this forum going into the series series was, “if we can play well defensive, and limit their chances, I like our odds”.

    Doesn’t look like we’re doing any of it 🤣

48. 23 SOG tonight, 19 on Sunday. It’s embarrassing.

    Gonna be a real fuckin early exit if we don’t figure shit the fuck out, immediately.
