GDT: 10/25/21 - 7:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Buffalo

[DMB06]

We dominated in possession but didn't really have any decent scoring chances. We look out of sync which is a bit surprising considering we played all of last season without Kuch.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Serg must be hovering around -10 by now.

 

[U55]

Serg is still young. He has the skill he just needs to get better with his decision making on the blue line.

Looks like he's a -7 BEFORE this game tonight.

 

[Powerplay17]

Without Kuch, that superb 3rd line and some decent D depth it’s gonna be a long year. Two real scorers surrounded by a lot of cannon fodder. This is what happens to cup rosters in the cap era.

He is young, but he's experienced enough to know better.

Nah. He’s been around plenty long enough to know better. He’s always been that type of player. Careless.

 

[U55]

He is young, but he's experienced enough to know better.

I agree he should be making strides towards improving and so far he isn't, but I'd still take him over a lot of other options without hesitation, especially Druin haha

 

[Hoek]

Seriously how do you win two cups in a row where you have to play MUCH smarter hockey than that and still goof this bad any more?

I'm not arguing to get rid of him. It's just a painfully dumb play at a tough time.

yeah he's been a huge liability this season so far. No one can deny that.

 

[Fabiobest]

How long will Kuch be out...?

Idk. It's a head scratcher. He's better than this.

He said something in the preseason about wanting to score more points, so maybe it shouldn't be so surprising his defense has took a nose dive trying to make the play over the safe option.

On the opposite end of that spectrum, cernak is playing a master class defensive game in this one. Serg needs to take notes.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Well, here we are again. Let's not wait around. Take control here.

 

[Todd1a]

I don’t care what Buffalos record is this is the worst team in the nhl if we can’t beat them then we have serious problems

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Man, Raddysh and Katchouk look great tonight.

 

[Silver Tuna]

All of HFboards thinks kucherov plays on an all star team that would win the cup without him.

 

[U55]

high stick to belmare face

kucherov is our all star team. He makes everything work on the top line.

Kuch has been a great player for a while, but I don't know if people outside of Tampa see just how special he is.

 

[The Gongshow]

Serg and the top line benched???

 

[Point21]

well thats game

 

[U55]

we are about to lose to the sabres.

 

[Lightning1995]

The suck is real
