I wouldn’t trade Oats for anyone. Love the guy. He’s gonna win a natty here soon. Believe it.

Well this is one way to have less empty seats I guess.

Not too shabby LSU!

Auburn has gotten far more than their fair share of fortuitous calls for decades.

NCAA and Roy Kramer tried to ruin our entire program.

Ironic that is their glory days. Karma finally came home to roost when they hired Freeze.

I am also. Bama grad in Pensacola.

Blow it up on a big screen you can see the markings pretty clearly. I believe it is an IBW.

IBW??

What most people are missing here is the culture that’s been built by our ownership and the organization.

It starts with Barkov’s arrival. We have a bunch of Finnish guys who are talented and bring a tough but loyal approach that has spread to all of the other guys who have come in since. The team is really close knit on and off the ice. They work hard and play hard. And they find a way to win. The whole roster treats each other as equals. Tkachuk playing in the playoffs after what he went through injury wise is a good example of what it means to all of them. Both Paul Maurice and Bill Zito speak on this frequently and just how awesome this group is to be around every day.

These players also get out in the community and celebrated the Cup wins with the people like no south Florida team has before. The new fans are welcomed by all and it’s great to see the fan base grow with the success. There were 500,000 people at the B2B parade. Unthinkable a few years ago.

Every floundering franchise should be taking notes. Vinny Vega has put his money where his mouth is, and unlike the Marlins, shown the fans the team is committed to competing for a long time.

I love this team so much. The haters can suck it. The few of us longtime fans suffered through decades of darkness to get here. Makes me so happy to see the new fans. Playoff hockey is crazy fun and they aren’t going anywhere now that they’ve experienced it and these last few Cup runs.

I just hope we come out Tuesday night and put this to bed.

We have clearly been the better team but that means nothing in terms of game 6 and even less if we have to go back to Rogers for a winner take all game 7.

I believe in these Cats regardless, but if it comes down to one game for it all, you never know. And I’d rather not have to find out.

Panthers had a big losing streak and injuries towards the end of the season. They led the division for the majority of the year.

That losing streak likely was a blessing in disguise because Bill Zito went out and got the pieces to bolster the roster for this run.

if we get past Carolina, Oilers rematch is terrifying

I wanted a Vegas rematch. Do not want Edmonton but they are probably the better matchup for us should we make it again.
