2. Lmao. Season hasn’t started yet and we’re already in their heads.

3. r/hockey having a normal one like usual I see

4. The lesson here is don’t be so obvious about what you’re intending.

5. This is hilarious

6. Hello, I like to post in r/hockey, I cannot understand the difference between an individual player doing something dirty (and getting fined the max amount), and a coach/team intentionally using the following preseason game to try to get retribution on that player’s teammates.

7. Actions have consequences.

   I love watching the usual Panthers hysteria at r/hockey. Karma never felt so good 👍

   

8. Lol

9. NHL is making an example of them. As they should.

10. Honestly, it’s not nearly enough. That fine should have an extra zero.

11. Can’t wait for November 15 🙂

12. Cooper should count himself lucky that he wasn’t suspended for multiple games.

13. Oh boy, i’m sure all the comments on r/hockey are normal

14. “We Apologize To No One”

    fuck’em

15. I laughed so fucking hard when i saw the tweet, NHL has got to be just trolling Bolts fans.

16. This is quantifiably hilarious

17. I’m sure the users in many of the other hockey subs are taking the news well 

18. Womp, womp!

19. AHAHAHAHAHAHA oh man oh boy they are cryinnn

20. /r/hockey are such pusses. Did they watch hockey 20 years ago?

21. That’s a real shame

22. I love the comments that say “All 30 other teams should do what Tampa did”. I’m sorry, but those teams want to win hockey games, not focus on living out your sad revenge fantasies. Plus if they tried it, the Panthers will set a league record for fastest to 100 points, and then just rest everyone till the playoffs.

23. As always, as usual, Prison Rules Paul skates. Papa Campbell takes care of the Kitties.

24. Cooper is really an idiot.

25. One would think that a sport that is notoriously full of violence and hatred wouldn’t have some of the softest crybabies in sports.

26. Lmao. Do what must be done to give Florida a taste of its own medicine and get fined for it and pick up a suspension while Florida gets another slap on the wrist.

    Gotta love this league. It’s high time the dummies at the top were removed anyways. They just keep making it easier to call em out

27. Watching Ekblad get folded was worth every penny .

28. Can’t wait to see how r/hockey spins this one

29. Lmfaooo

30. r/hockey meltdown watch party

31. The melt down in r/hockey over all of this should be studied. It’s truly incredible to see such an obvious attempt at head hunting with AHL scrubs against the reigning champ’s starters become a rallying point for people to call Florida dirty. The cognitive dissonance is wild

32. Remember, Panthers are the dirty team, NOT the team that was just fined six figures

    If you’re still out there thinking what happened Saturday was justified or deserved, you are a moron.

33. don’t let any c*nt get in the way of you enjoying your cats possibly threepeating. root for our guys like it’ll never happen again

34. I wish we could tap into that r/hockey green with envy energy. We could power the planet every day.

35. I’m so excited for this season! Let’s go Cats!!!!🐀🏒🐀🏒🐀🏒

36. At this point how can r/hockey not just laugh. I get the Tampa fan salt, but this is now officially in “funny sitcom episode” territory. 

37. hahahahah cooper and the bolts are such little bitches. do you even understand how much we’re in these guys heads 🤣

38. Those hits on Boquist and Ekblad were cheap shots that they literally premeditated on… So dirty, it caused the anti-lap dance city ordinance.

39. Let’s fucking go

40. Lmao I fucking told r/hockey this was going to happen god I just wanna rub it in their fucking ignorant faces.
