GDT: 10/13/15 - 7:30PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Detroit

[Cigar City]

Lazy

 

[Todd1a]

and thats the way this clunker ends tonight sure

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Stupid back to back games.

We need Andre the Giant.

 

[Brie]

*lol*, knew that would happen as well, what a waste, I think with GF/GA being so important we should have kept Bishop in, Im mean if we hadn't scored before this we were not going to score now and we could have kept the GA NUMBERS DOWN.

 

[The Gongshow]

Tampa couldn't buy a face-off win tonight. Awful.

 

[Oxbow Lakes]

That's it I guess....

I hate b2b games.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

How much do you chalk it up to being the 2nd road game in a row vs a top team? Idk, we had our chances.

 

[Leonardo87]

This loss on Cooper.

 

[DFC]

Goalie pulled at two minutes seems... Royish.

Coop did that all of last year. So do most other coaches these days.

 

[Sky04]

Stamkos has non-existent playmaking abilities.

 

[Cigar City]

Lazy, lazy, lazy play by 95% of the team. Cally, Stamkos, and Garrison specifically were atrocious

EDIT: And Kuch.


Just pathetic effort

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

this loss on cooper.

yup.

 

[Felonious Python]

Sustr's eternal reign on D confirmed.

 

[DFC]

If Don Meehan is still talking about a number anywhere near $12m, Steve Yzerman should laugh and hang up.

TKO was pretty bad. Palat could not clear the zone if his life depended on it, not like him at all.

 

[The Gongshow]

MTL also won tonight so this loss hurts. I know its early in the season, but you gotta get points when you can.

 

[Cigar City]

Sustr's eternal reign on D confirmed.

Dude I never thought I would want him back but Nesty was even worse. Well, not really, but equally as bad.

 

[The Gongshow]

Can they hire someone for the PP and PK now

 

[Todd1a]

If Don Meehan is still talking about a number anywhere near $12m, Steve Yzerman should laugh and hang up.

yup

 

[JFleegs]

Yuck that game leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Coopers pp needs to get its **** together. Guys were tired understandably but they needed to drive the net more. Gave Howard an easy night.

 

[Sky04]

Also TKO is completely off.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

yup

Hear hear

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Yeah not a good game for Nesty, especially in the d-zone

Yeup Howard was barely tested, Tampa could have won this game tonight even tho they were on a back to back

 

[These Are The Days]

So much wrong with this loss. I'm absolutely sick.

Why does winning a gritty game take the required science of splitting an atom? No energy, no effort, no forecheck.

For 40 minutes we skate at the most leisurely pace into 3 and 4 Red Wings waiting at the blue line and they play keep away. In the event of actually having the puck, we continuously cycle the puck around the 700 players parked in front of Jimmy Howard.

I don't blame Stamkos for this one. Everyone on offense was flat out bad and the PP wasn't any better. We get about 1:10 of unit 1 and unit 2 just kills the rest of it for the Red Wings.

A loss was inevitable. My disgust is that we clearly learned nothing from our 7 game series.
