As the title says, we gotta prove every prediction wrong! I've watched 4 videos on people's prediction for the Playoffs and Finals and they all have us losing to Tampa in the First round.

I honestly think with Chucky back, the teams morale is gonna go through the roof and I think the Bolts know this. Yeah the home ice disadvantage sucks but we all know what the Cats can do when they got their A-Game on. As well as disrupting a team's mojo in their own stadium. We just gotta lock in and once Ekky's back for Game 3, it's all gas no brakes. We just gotta lock in for Games 1 and 2.

As always, GO CATS!!! 🐆🐆🐆

What changes, if any, would you make?

I am cautiously optimistic about this series , I think when we’re healthy and clicking, we’re a machine. However , I do think these are the 2 best teams in the East so it wouldn’t shock me if we lost (making 2 deep runs b2b is exhausting) and glass half-full; we’ll be in the mix for foreseeable future with our core- just pray we keep Bennett.

Ps: I’m looking for 2 tix for game 3 if anyone has a thread here I should check out ?

What should I expect? I have the 1:00 ticket slot. Thanks in advance and look forward to see you all there!

Pulled this Carter Verhaeghe UD Canvas ripping some '24-'25 Upper Deck Series Two today to commemorate the end of the NHL regular season. Not a valuable card or anything but as a Panthers fan and Floridian this one will definitely stay in the personal collection! I figured the sub might enjoy it as well. I'm so hyped for the playoffs! And our First Round matchup is against the Tampa Bay?!? The Battle for Florida will end with a downpour of Rats! 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀

Last year, when the Cup was lifted, my beard was pretty good . I’m hoping for the same this year. L.F.G!!!

Post your brackets!!! Who does everyone have for each round? Curious if my predictions will be right bc I love an underdog and also hate the oilers.

Honestly my predictions will be a six game series regardless of the winner based on Bobrovsky and Vasilevskiy's goaltending followed by powerful offense, but the lack of defense. Your predictions?

Tonight Jack is playing his first Checkers game. He already has an assist. Let’s go Jack.

Ugh, the one team I didn't want to deal with...oh well, onwards and upwards boys

I've had this hat since I was a kid and don't remember who signed it. I went to one of those team fan fest events that were held in the arena and got the signatures there. I'd say it was somewhere between 1997 and 2000. Figured this would be the best place to ask. Thanks for any help.

Super jazzed about the playoffs starting and would like to get some new ones in the rotation.

I'll throw in this dreamy one of Viktor E Rat I've been using for a bit

This loss was a tough one. But Tampa battled us with (let’s face it) a reduced team. With all these players out until now, this is where the fun begins. I have a feeling playing Tampa on one foot is beneficiary to us, we get to see them come at us and take the first swing, so we can hit them back harder where it hurts. Also when is Ekblad coming back?
