Tampa finding the cap space to give Karlsson 10+ M per season would be a greater accomplishment than climbing out of this 0-3 hole.

Well, the manner in which this is happening is certainly unique. No goalie miracles, no physical intimidation, no opponents who "know how to win", no stifling pressure from an insane media/fanbase. I mean, there's a little scar tissue from a couple blown 3-2 leads in recent ECF, but that's not exactly "It was 4-1" or Caps-level trauma. The Bolts just pulled the chute. It's baffling.

Columbus is ****ing good, too. Dare I say the difference might be Torts?

NHL's response to people complaining about lack of officiating in Leafs Bruins series, assign a guy who has reffed 6 playoff games in his 11 year NHL career? Dont guys get more playoff games based on performance during season? I'd think a guy with 6 playoff games in an 11 year career must have not been good enough for over 80% of his seasons.

I was about to comment how surprising it is that Columbus isn’t getting credit here for playing better hockey, and being the better team this series. Whoever gets them in the second round had better not sleep on the CBJ.

Torts is certainly better than Cooper, who seems as lost as the Lightning players.
