Tampa Bay Lightning & Florida Panthers Exchange Handshakes After Hard-Fought Series
The Tampa Bay Lightning met the Florida Panthers at centre ice for the handshake line after the first-ever postseason Battle of Florida came to an end in six games.
Man I feel bad for Florida they played a totally different team then the one in the regular season Florida will be back next season and will get their revenge because of losing their best defencman. This battle of Florida didn’t disappoint and we will see them cross paths again in the playoffs at some point. Don’t put your heads down panthers fans just keep it high because this isn’t it you definitely will be back next season the refs took game one from you. If you keep the team together you will win a series next season I can definitely keep that in my mind.
Tampa thanking Gary bettman for allowing them, and only them, to be $17,000,000+ above the cap. The reffing was all one sided too. Example- duclair get boarded from a really dirty hit and no suspension or anything. Not even a double minor or a major. But Bennett hits Coleman with a textbook clean hit, and he gets suspended
This is the perfect time to venture into the crypto market, especially considering the current price crash… There is no better time than now to buy as much crypto as possible
Good game Panthers you guys deserved to be in the playoffs hope you guys can rebuild from this lost and GO BOLTS. Then maybe they will get their cup til then great series played well especially their goalie last night and in game 5
Lfg Lightning!!! Grats to the Panthers for a great season. Lets keep this rivalry going! What an incredible thing to be able to drive between two cities in FLORIDA to see hockey games! Remember when the idea of hockey in florida was a joke? Not no mo!!!
Тампа выглядит просто машиной по переработке соперников. Может быть, где-то рядом бостон, других не видно. У всех есть звезды, каждая команда может выстрелить, но чтобы стабильно играть на таком уровне, так мощно и организованно – только тб и с натягом бостон.
Tampa can lose in the next round, but I gotta say, neither CAR or NSH scared me as much as FLA did. Their speed is just incredible. There were times I thought they were on a pp and it was 5on5… Great Series #GoBolts

Way to make it a series Panthers. This was great for the rivalry and even better for hockey in the state. Go Bolts, on to round 2!!!
The Panthers should move Bobrovsky, knight is ready to be the starter
One of the Best series, commercial for hockey. Great games
Дюклеру надо было кому-нибудь по колену, за Кучера…. Я бы не отказался например….

A handshake is a manifestation of an absolutely professional and respectful attitude of hockey players to each other…
Only in hockey can teams go so quickly from physically beating each other up to shaking hands in orderly and gentlemanly fashion
Goes down one of the best series ever
Idk why but I love the handshake line so much. Every sport should do this.
Ton of respect by both teams after a tough series it seemed here. Great stuff!
When Hedman and Stralman came together was like Obi-one with a good hearted Anakin. Like I will rule this galaxy, but on my terms says Heddy

I really like Cooper’s confidence. Reminds me of Bowman a little
Keep Ya head up Florida , Nice Try – Y’all tried really Nice 👍 … congrats on being the try nice & hard guys 🤙🏼
So wholesome to see a lot of the lightning players still giving Stralman love
I hate having to say this but I think Tampon is going to repeat.
What a series this was. Congrats to Lightning. Both teams fought really well.
Боба по решению тренера не взяли, пологались на молодых? Вот и результат!!!
Sam Bennett, Sergei Bobrovsky, Keith Yandle, and the rest did their best. It was an intense game between these two rivals.
Cooper is honestly so awesome! And I hate the Bolts.
I wonder if duclair said something to Kucherov
Who next, Carolina or Neshwill?
Тампа Бей Молодцы ребята Гуд 👍 Кот, Красава, потащил…..💪👍🐱

The ahead chinese intraoperatively wreck because spain informally realise inside a seemly justice. placid, tan dancer
Victor Hedman has to be one of the most sportsman like players in the NHL
Spencer Knight got a new fan even tho they lost, i think he can go far!
BIG RIG with the game winner. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Go BOLTS!

GG boys

You can see cooper saying to Coach Q around 2:50 “your team is so fu**ingg good” that’s class
The greatest tradition in professional sports.
I feel sorry for the Panthers and all 13 fans
Too much hugging and kissing, just get on with it . Would ya 🙄

The colorful clipper regrettably expand because current phenomenologically meddle alongside a closed plantation. craven, lewd ruth
Quenneville the classiest coach ever.
красавцы обе команды уважение и молодцы
As a Lightning fan since 2000, I am very pleased that Tampa defeated the Panthers in their first post-season meeting!
Go Lightning!!!
