I dont care about fancy advanced stats that no one understands anyway, by eye test this team is much worse than last year. I dont remember them being constantly dominated by teams like Chicago and San Jose last year. They just had a little more defensive mistakes and worse goaltending, but they were a more functional team. Now i'm not even sure you can call it a team

Fancy advanced stats like Goals For, Goals Against, PK and PP? Wins and Lose record was even better than last year? Are these not quantifiable for you? Lol

Nah, we're slightly better this year than last year because we aren't giving up as many goals. We were pretty shitty last season outside of the PP until the deadline when Duclair gave us a spark.

This team is more balanced but has a canny ability to not put the puck in the net on nights when they actually defend pretty well.

Thanks a lot vassy.

The LIghtning "stand around" too much, move your feet, dont glide in at the opponent, MOVE YOUR FEET!!!!!!

That’s why they get stuck in there own zone a lot

 

[The Gongshow]

1 f***ing goal, 3 unanswered..Against the worst team in the league. Our window is slammed shut, but this WC should not be struggling with these bottom feeder teams

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Thanks a lot vassy.

He doesn't shoot the puck, not his fault we can't score

 

[Lightning1995]

Maybe they are cooked, I dunno

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Eichel Sabres/early Stutzle Senators esque shit performance

 

[JTBF81]

Oh well, JJ with his usual guaranteed 3 or more allowed, and their goaltender made some good saves. Tampa's big guns couldn't finish multiple timed so it's looking like 0 points tonight. Oh well, end of the tough month of January. Plenty of games to go and they're still in good shape overall.

 

[T REX]

Boiling frog

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Hopefully this wakes up JBB though, something needs to change to get some more offense.

 

[Point21]

That was stupid as hell from Ace

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Eyssimont, why? Don't risk losing the pp

 

[JFleegs]

easy did you just get a dumbass penalty?

 

[These Are The Days]

What a stupid f***ing play by Ace

 

[Master P]

Looked like Bedard gave Cernak a bit of a can opener.

I can see why Ace was upset.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Eyssimont you idiot

 

[These Are The Days]

[RussianGuyovich]

[Todd1a]

Eyssimont you f***ing idiot

[Hoek]

[Hockeyville USA]

What is the point of having Geekie up in the NHL when he doesn't do anything of note? Send him to the A where he can develop more in big minutes and score every night
