ye

our only good player at the moment

nope Vasy is not that good either. He has zero saves for the moment.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Yeah, don't shoot open lane Kuch, skate around and drop it for Stammer who will do the same only to turn it over. Arrrgh!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Drej got the goal

 

[The Macho King]

Guess Palat tipped it.

 

[LightningStrikes]

They forgot about Drej.

 

[MattM92]

First goal opened up the flood gates. Was being glib - good play by Sergachev.

Ah I getcha.

 

[The Macho King]

So scoreboard aside - I do take something positive from this game so far. Effort is there - a bad 3 minute stretch (with some help from the stripes) explain most of the results here. It doesn't feel like last night where it just looked like they weren't skating.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Maybe the Lightning can try scoring 5v5

I hear good teams are able to do that on occasion

You should tone it down a little bit. I thought I was the biggest, or one of the biggest, debbie downers here but f*** me..

 

[DFC]

Slater just defended Crosby really well.

 

[Stammertime91]

Not to take a holier than thou approach but some.of the overreacting is over the top. I hope you guys that are freaking out (as of right now) weren't expecting a 60 win season or to sustain scoring 4-5 goals. We lead the league and are top 5 in damn near every category.

Every team struggles at some point. We were on them like giraffe at the zoo until the dog show judges showed up searching for gum disease on Crosby's K9. That debacle caused 2 goals. Aside from that demoralizing blow, they've come up against Patrick Roy reincarnated in net with a lucky charm powerup lodged in his rectum.

 

[MattM92]

Normal Kucherov puts that under the crossbar. Slumping Kucherov puts it right into the desperate goalie.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Lift. The. Puck.

 

[The Macho King]

Jesus - Kucherov needs to lift that. He had all day to shoot there.

 

[RDTBay4]

Someone said you can't expect a back up to make those kind of saves...while their back up is standing on his head.

 

[LightningStrikes]

I think Kuch was a bit off balance. Maybe why he couldn't lift it enough.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Oh it's former Lightning Greg McKegg btw. Didn't even realize. #neverforget

 

[The Macho King]

Conacher with an AHL-level shift there. Yeah don't want to see him again.

 

[Lightning1995]

1 even strength goal in the last 2.5 plus games.....ugghj

 

[These Are The Days]

The monkey on Kucherov's back must be the size of an elephant

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

The monkey on Kucherov's back must be the size of an elephant

Or a giraffe maybe?

 

[Master P]

why was the preview for our game against the sabers just highlights of us getting hit?

 

[The Macho King]

That line needs to f***ing shoot.

 

[MattM92]

Someone said you can't expect a back up to make those kind of saves...while their back up is standing on his head.

You have a reputation as someone with the most reasonable and sane expectation of goalies.

 

[Hoek]

why was the preview for our game against the sabers just highlights of us getting hit?

Because we are the worst team in the league right now. No highlights.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Would be nice to score here
