Technically another shorthanded goal for Cirelli

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Ill take it but not a satisfying ewin, and please stop with the bon jovi crap!!!!!!!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Shutout for Vasy!

 

[creg]

expected goals were 1.81-4.91, obviously a solid win but what is going on with our scoring right now

 

[Hockeyville USA]

I can breathe a bit easier now

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

1st star - Hagel. Best player tonight
2nd star - Vasy
3rd star - I don't know

Solid win, stuck with it for a full 60 pretty much. Typical LA snoozer but you have to win those games. Carlile and Goncalves didn't look inexperienced at all, nice game by them. Hagel takes the cake and Vasy inches closer to the top.

I think the 4.91 includes the empty netter but 4-2 if you look at when the goalies were on the ice (3.5 - 1.8). This has been the trend for about the last 8 games where either we cant finish or other goalie as coach said is possessed. This might be the break in the dam that opens the floodgates. Hopefully.

Also, Bagel is just a beast.

 

[JTBF81]

Good win against a solid team. Vasy and Hagel were excellent, defense held up and the offense did enough. Rittich also played well or it could've been over much earlier. 2 points in the.bank and good work all around! Hopefully they can have a strong 6 game stretch, starting with this win, as they head into the 4 nations break.

 

[Master P]

Vassy Shutout, Cirelli goal and I snagged a 5080. Great night all around.

 

[Soul Assumption]

Good win against a solid team.

LA is 2-8 in last 10+ b2b for them.
Finally played against a team that sucks even more.

 

[bov]

f***ing Christ…


I wanted him gone last year instead of needlessly trading Thompson. Can’t keep both Perbix and Lilleberg on the roster long term

He is 23 and hasn't even spent 2 full years in North America, what more could you possibly want from Lilleberg?

 

[Rschmitz]

That Hagel goal put an entire circus of monkeys on notice.

Lol, I know it must be difficult for you and the other fake bolt fans here to watch Tampa win, as you must be seething since you can't post about how bad you erroneously think they are. What a downer it must be for trolls like yourself, who only seem to derive pleasure and enjoyment in being miserable all the time when watching and talking about a good team you supposedly support.

 

[Stammertime91]

I wasn't really buying the whole we get goalied narrative but holy smokes, I might buy the narrative and shares of it. What the f*** was this game. Pretty sure Rittich saved one with his forehead and one with a hair follicle. Unreal force field.

We have no shit lost a dozen goals to miracles in like the last 6 games. Probably add 3 more tonight

 

[LightningStrikes]

Important win and we don’t fall in the standings. What a game by Hagel!

 

[FinnLightning26]

Well, when you can't score, shutting out the opponent is a pretty good strategy. I'm a bit surprised Rittich didn't somehow get a toe or something on that second Hagel goal because it's been going like that lately.

 

[PaulGG]

Frustrating game, just can’t seem to score on plays that are usually successful. Was great to see us hold on, overcome frustration and not give it away on mental errors.

 

[The Macho King]

If these games were scattered throughout the year we wouldn't blink. Some of the inherent variance in hockey is just piling up right now.

Liked Carlile.

Liked Carlile.

Carlile got lucky at one point, blatantly hooked one of the Kings forwards and got away with it. Played fairly well otherwise

 

[bigdaddio]

Speaking of unlucky. On their disallowed goal, a random bounce and deflection made a better pass to the tape of the guy leaving jail than any pass we've made all season.
