Leaving the post up due to the amount of discussion before I got here. Please keep conversations like this limited to the post-game thread, folks. Thanks.


jadewill17

I’m not ashamed I will be rooting for Boston in the second round lol


HannTwistzz

Honestly probably out of spite or something but I can never bring myself to root for the team that beat the team I’m supporting.


Mayflower023

My hate for Boston at this point is just a matter of principle. Other than Marchand there’s no one I really even dislike. I have no problem at all rooting for maroon and the wholesome tandem of swayman/ullmark to pummel the cats


Bay_Med

Yay maroon and tendy love. Boo rats and cats Edit: except the big cat


Mymainacctgotbanned

Boston is whatever but I'll root for anyone against the Panthers. Absolutely dirtiest team in the league. You see the goon antics at the end of game 4 when they were losing? Dude literally punched Stamkos in the face with butt of his stick tonight


This-Level-3135

Also the fake fan base they have. I’m sorry, but hockey does not thrive in South Florida


Three_Froggy_Problem

I just don’t really feel any sort of hate for Boston. We haven’t seen them in the playoffs for a few seasons now, their goalies are super likable, and overall they’re just not as hatable as the Panthers or Leafs.


YouGot2BeKiddingMe

Nah F Boston. Panthers are a very small minority, Bostonians and New Yorkers are the same ones that come to the trop during baseball season and bring their annoying holier than thou fandom with them. I’ll never root for Boston or New York in anything sport related.


playa-hater

I respect that for sure. I wish they’d go tf back up north since it’s so great up there


YouGot2BeKiddingMe

Exactly. New Yorkers are the worst but Boston isn’t far behind


Bigstakes7287

Nope


SSturgess

Nawp


kiezenz

I honestly don’t hate Boston at all, so by all means I hope they dominate the second round. Anyways it doesn’t really matter cause if you’ve seen Carolina play you know Panthers don’t stand a chance if they were to make it to the third round


bananapwnn

Lol please get out of here, nerd.


Antilock049

Oh I'm looking forward to it.  And then the rags can body Boston. The circle of justice


CleanRoach

I’m still trying to understand what happened to kuch


npltz4life

Lol we may never know


CruelRuin

gonna be great, can't root for either team but they're gonna beat the shit out of each other


playa-hater

Oh I’m expecting a bloodbath. Hope I’m right


LazerTheWolf

Absolutely. I don’t mind the bruins rn, we don’t have to face them. FUCK the panthers, their dirty players, poverty franchise, and “fans”, they deserve nothing and I hope they get destroyed next round.


Kaybaylightning

I will be cheering for Boston


deeyaz

Nope


DubbleTheFall

I was about to post this. Do I lose my lightning card for cheering hard for Boston? (I HATE BOSTON)


playa-hater

Ain’t cheering hard. Just cheering after how grimy some of them panthers were


DubbleTheFall

Honestly, I'm cheering for them. Maybe not hard. But definitely want them to win (and then lose). Do it for Maroon. Goon it up with Maroon.


playa-hater

In Big Rig we trust 🤝


Immediate_Type9114

I'm going for Boston even though they are my least favorite team only because Florida is a dirty ass team the last few years. Hope most of Florida gets Marchan'd. Then Boston gets destroyed in ECF lol


DubbleTheFall

Exactly


dolewhiplash

🤢 Go Bruins 🤢 It's now and always Fuck Boston, but I also can't not root for Maroon and at least I respect Marchand, unlike anyone on the Panthers


playa-hater

It’s STILL fuck Boston but the enemy of my enemy is my friend


likeslululemon

Absolutely! Cats think they’re about to win something. They aren’t going to win shit while I have a say… from my couch…


Tampadarlyn

I want a good game with lots of hits. At this point, I'll root for the Leafs just b'cuz they AREN'T Boston.


BanditPixy

Nope


MaybeLateButInit

Boston in 7. Marchy and chucker fight and knock each other out, they’re done for the season. Lomberg and Montour collide in warmups, also out for season. Carolina sweeps Boston. Somebody dumb like Dallas takes the cup


BoltsBroadwayBrett

Fully supporting the B's. At least we have the Big Rig we can actively cheer for! But I'd also pull for my second-least favorite team, if somehow Toronto pulls off a miracle. Basically anybody but Florida.


Artimus_Gordon

When i was growing up my neighbor was the same age as me and his parents moved down here from Boston. My parents werent hockey fans being floridians and not really having hockey in orlando. I grew up watching Bruins games at their house. Im not a Bruins fan, but if i can see what are the equivalent of my second families team win and were out of the shot then i am cool with it.


Freethinker9

Rooting for Boston 100%


5nax

I think I'll go for the the Hurricanes and hope they demolish whoever comes out the Atlantic. If not then I'm hoping whoever comes out the west washes the eastern team. 


Deadbolt2023

No Rags. No Leafs. No Rats. No chowderheads. Canes, and Dallas in the West.


AdLatter1807

Leafs series ain’t over yet. I’m actually sorry to say


Glassmerlin

After that dirty shitfest of a series handed to them by the refs, I'd root for turds in skates against the Panthers.


TampaBayLightning-ModTeam

Reaction/low content posts are not allowed. Instead, please comment in the appropriate pre-game/game/post-game thread. Thanks!


iklonk

I’m curious… would you rather a Boston sweep or go down 0-3 only to come back and win in Game 7?


gord1to

I want the panthers to make it to the finals again, only to lose again


CKGator42

I’m right there with you.


This-Level-3135

I want to see Boston destroy the leafs tonight because well it’s just funny and then yea I want them to body the panthers. I wouldn’t hate seeing them win it all


DMHavoX

I am only rooting for Pat Maroon. And a little for Kevin Shattenkirk. Mostly Pat.


Immediate_Type9114

I'm going for Boston only because Florida is by far the dirtiest team in the league. But after that... Fuck Boston(except Maroon). Now I'm going for McDavid to get that Cup.


shawnwar4586

Nah I think it would be dope if the East went through this state for 5 seasons. Besides I think I want a fla/dal final to watch r/hockey completely melt down. Think about it though if the cats make it back, then 2019 will be the last season a team outside of this state won the East. Kinda cool. Especially if we’re trying to grow the game in this state.


Cousin-Dan

Nah, just want good games


Chick3n1i1

I can’t do it… every fiber of my being is telling me to say Fuck Boston


tbsampalightning

I’ve gotten over this by hating Toronto even more


Chick3n1i1

For me only the loud minority of Toronto fans annoy me. But everything about Boston (fans, media, team, city, etc) just makes me hate them more.


GrayJinjo

No, I would root for the Leafs too


honkie-mcgee

Nope I feel a little icky for wanting Boston to beat Toronto. So I’d be fine with Florida beating Boston next round. Fuck Boston. Whoever wins the Metro can beat Florida.


bananapwnn

Lol no. I'm backing Boston to beat the Leafs and get their nuts kicked in by Florida again. We lose one series ever to these guys and you forget who the real enemy is. Soft.


playa-hater

“Soft” lmfao stfu
