They went up 3-0 in the first period of game 1 and thought it’d be a cake walk the rest of the way. They got punched in the mouth and haven’t had any clue on how to respond.
Is that the rule-the whistle doesn’t blow until possession changes? Never knew that.Would’ve caused confusion but Vasilievsky should’ve gone to bench when Tampa has the puck with the net off
Yep. Dubnyk tried it recently and it was a calamity and his team ended up taking a too many men.Is that the rule-the whistle doesn’t blow until possession changes? Never knew that.
A simple on-screen graphic would be fine.NBC needs to figure out how they’re gonna handle these live look-ins. They threw off Tirico while TB-Columbus was in intermission, and just did the same to Forslund.
I was just saying the same thing. Has to be the greatest upset in NHL history? Nevermind how good Tampa was this year in general, but a SWEEP? Unreal.A sweep here, not just a series win, has to be the greatest upset ever
The perils of being on cruise control most of the year.I kinda wonder what the fallout looks like for Tampa. I have no idea how you deal with this.
And Columbus going to get a nice break because Boston and Toronto probably going 6 or 7The perils of being on cruise control most of the year.
The sweep makes me think you have to fire the coach. Getting swept as a 1 seed is inexcusable.
Arguably the biggest in sports history right never-mind nhl? I can think of bigger 1 game upsets, but when you factor in that they had to beat them 4 times and did it in a sweep I think that tops massive super bowl upsets or virginia-umbc.I was just saying the same thing.

I’m not a big Cooper fan, so I’d consider a change there but otherwise I wouldn’t do much. The cap will force them to make roster moves but I wouldn’t detonate a nuke here.I kinda wonder what the fallout looks like for Tampa. I have no idea how you deal with this.
They have to fire the coach. That was a bomb squad that had no business losing let alone getting swept. He had one job, get the team ready for playoff hockey and he failed. Miserably.I’m not a big Cooper fan, so I’d consider a change there but otherwise I wouldn’t do much. The cap will force them to make roster moves but I wouldn’t detonate a nuke here.
Nuggets over Sonics is right up there, though that was a best of 5. That Sonics team was phenomenal.Arguably the biggest in sports history right never-mind nhl?

2006 Oilers over Red Wings should be in that conversation. Yeah, the Oilers made the final, but the West’s top 4 seeds went down in the first round.This is the biggest upset in pro sports since probably 1993 Seattle-Denver and 1994 Red Wings-Ducks.
Eh...it's happened before... Twice in the same season...92-93 Blackhawks had the 3rd most points, got swept by the 8th seed Blues.Arguably the biggest in sports history right never-mind nhl?
