Just one game and it feels like a stanley cup finals game 7

This is the definition of a playoff hockey game. Doesn’t get much better than that.

Who would have thought Florida would have some of the most electric fans.

Best game of the playoffs by far so far Edit: Still was the best game of the playoffs

What a game! This series is gonna be awesome! Also just in case people forgot, because he didn't play in the regular season, Nikita Kucherov is still a Top 5 player in the NHL.

That slap-pass from Kuch is an absolute beauty

Now THIS is what I call a good playoff hockey game

Honestly, one of the best hockey games I ever watched.

Tampa’s power play is good, we can confirm that

Will gladly watch this 6 more times in this series

KUCHEROV IS BACK! ❤️

Dude, that was one of the greatest hockey games of all time

Barkov is just unreal. About time he start getting the respect and recognition he deserves. Great game

Best game of the playoffs so far. May be the best series

Kucherov welcome back! He looks hungry 😁

THAT.WAS.AWESOME!! Both teams were incredible!

Felt like a classic hockey game becasue of the fans in the stands!

Easily one of the best games I've seen, this series is a must watch!

Living in Chicago and obviously not having a horse in this race. This is a HELLUVA series so far!

This game went back and forth more than a seesaw

Can we just admire how good this Florida Panthers roster plays together, and it's effectively 30mil less than tampa

Флорида одна из немногих команд Кто Не боится тампу🤗😉👍 Кучеров конечно хитрец номер 1 сегодня💪😉👍 Игра была потрясающая Не хотелось чтобы кто то проиграл🙈🤗😇

Great games by both teams. Lighting had a bit more of an edge after the 2nd when they played a hell of a period. Bob played so well today if it wasn’t for him they score would have been more. Only game 1 expect good hockey the next couple of games.

It is ridiculous that one of these two beastly teams is gonna be seen as a "first round knockout" as if they're trash. Both of these teams could demolish some of the other playoff teams

УХ ПОНЕСЛАСЬ ДУША В РАЙ))) НИКИТОС ВЛЕТЕЛ В ИГРУ! ДАЙ БОГ БЕЗ ТРАВМ БОЛЬШЕ!

Меня спрашивают,почему я не смотрю КХЛ ,ответ очевиден!Три первых матча плейофф НХЛ и везде,эмоции зашкаливают!Просто круть !!

Рад что Кучеров вернулся.. Сразу 2+1 набрал красава

Tor vs Mtl will get all the attention. But this is the best first round series period.

This was very fun to watch even though I’m not a fan of either teams... from now on if I have time I won’t just be watching my fav team’s playoffs. I’m missing out on these games

Anyone who missed this game really missed out, not one dull moment in the whole game... Also holy crap Panthers got costed by that goalie interference call 😡

Стэмкос, Кучеров, Пойнт снова вместе , ну держитесь теперь вратари вам не позавидуешь. Вася и Бобр отыграли здорово, ну не без ошибок конечно

There has yet to be a dull game in the playoffs! This series is going to be amazing! What a treat!!

What a game!

This game has everything what we love about Hockey, going to be a fantastic series!

Games like this are why I love playoff hockey so much

This was the best game of the entire season thus far, this is the battle of Florida, it doesn’t matter if either team gets there ass kicked by Carolina in the next round, this series is worth more then just playoffs.

Kucherov, picks up right where he left off last playoffs. That last assist, straight FILTHY, on top of 2 goals, unreal. On top of that you got Point being the monster he is too. Barkov, Huberdeau on the other side, only thing I worry about Florida is Bobrovski in this series. Don't think he can match Vasilevsky and I think Drieger might take over. The goals Tampa scored weren't egregious but to win the series against a loaded Tampa team, goalie will need to steal a game or 2, don't think Bobrovski can anymore.

Every playoff game has been a treat to watch so far. Great hockey.

I was getting seasick from all the momentum swings! 🤢

This game was fantastic.

I expected this to be the best series of the first round, and it still exceeded expectations.

Замечательная игра, шикарные скоростя, одно напрягает почему они в первом раунде встретились, Никитос молодчик, пусть победит сильнейший🏒🏒🏒🏒👍👍👍👍

I live in Vancouver and even knew this was the series to watch. Incredible Game 1. Best game I've seen all year... not saying much, I watch the Canucks.

Only game so far that hasn't gone to OT but it was definitely the best game

Горячая пара! Кто кого?) В конце регулярки Флорида Тампу переигрывала. Но, теперь вернулись Стэмкос с Кучеровым, теперь 50/50! Что и видно по игре - равная борьба!

Вот это игра, это просто трэш какой то. Тампа выиграла только благодаря Кучерову и заиграла как прежде, очень остро и агрессивно. Насчëт Флориды был неправ, очень крепкая команда, Саша Барков просто зверь. Нас ждëт очень интересная и непредсказуемая серия. Браво НХЛ, браво настоящий хоккей!!!

Let's hope this series bumps up the popularity of hockey in Florida long term.

Тампа видно, что ПП с Кучем отрабатывала. А какой пас, выманил, потом отдал на пустые. Просто конфета.

Во где адреналин. Оба кипера норм. Куч как же ждали и супер и голы и пас.

One of the best hockeygames I've ever watched!

Really wishing Provincial governments would allow even a small amount of fans for the playoffs. After watching the energy the fans provide in these games games down South, it's going to make the North playoffs look and feel like exhibition matches.

this is the series to watch forsure.

Best game i’ ve seen for a long time

This series is gonna be fun

god damn this was a fun game to watch, i bet Florida will have more hockey fans after this series

The best game I've seen this year...that's for sure!

Игра огонь! Куч Стемкос и Поинт большие молодцы!💪👍

I've always liked everything about Barkow but man I like it more now he's decided to shoot the buck more and he shoots it like an absolute madman

This was one of the best playoff games I've seen. No cap. These teams hate each other. Hoping this series will be a classic

Огненный матч! 👏 Куч вернулся! 💪

Вот это я понимаю хоккей!

What a beautiful win ...lol Bennett the trader ...a Calgary guy gets the tying and winning goal...Pointe most underrated player in the NHL

Куча не остановить))) Молодцы

God this series is going to be so epic

This series is gonna be a bloodbath and I’m excited to see how it turns out! Great game Florida. gg and good luck in the next one!

One of the best games I've ever seen

Few things to note in this one. Kucherov is absolutely deadly. Huberdeau is an incredible player. And Florida went from having the least amount of fans in the league to the most. Go figure that! Nice to see the fans get out of their seats every time there was a breakaway - good stuff right there

Miss Coleman in NJ but glad he's on a team where he flourishes

WHAT A GAME!!!!

Wow what a play by Mcdonagh on that last goal. Blocked the shot and got the pass up quick for the break away

17 million over the cap lmao this is their last chance before they blow this core up

Dang, what a series!

This was one of the most exciting games Ive ever seen. This should have been called "the swamp series". The Panthers are not playing around this season. GO BOLTS

One game feels like an entire series

Man...reminds of 1996 when these two teams meet in the playoffs!!!

Вот это качели! Смотрел на одном дыхании!

Welcome back Kuch!

What a game. Canuck fan here. I want Florida to win, but I ain’t mad when the Lightning do. Point is a stud in the playoffs!

That was one of the best games of Hockey I have ever watched!! If that was not game one i am so freaking excited for this series!! My boy Point got robbed of the Conn Smythe last year but started off this year with a bang!!

Да Тампа с Кучеровым совсем другая команда.

Great to see fans

Огненный матч 🔥

WHAT A GAME!!!

I watched nearly this whole game, but came here just to give it a thumbs up because dayum that was entertaining!! PLAYOFF HOCKEY, LET'S GO!!!!

Kuuuch the Man

Crazy how that 1 no goal call completely changed the outcome of that game Florida prolly would’ve and should’ve won that

Fantastic game 😱👍🏻

That was unreal!!!!

9 goals on thoes goalies😳. Sick

best game so far

Что можно сказать. Талан не пропьешь))) Куч красавчег!!!

What a game. Wow

Honestly i want Florida to go all the way to finals. I want live that 1996 playoffs again!

Cap circumvention in action with Kuch

5:57 Wrong russian goalie there sir

Tampa bay lightning the best!!!

После регулярки этот хоккей просто космический. И за Бобровского переживаю, и за Василевского). Кучеров бомба!!! А где Гусь?

С возвращением Куч

Куч однако могуч !!!

Great game
