Hard to win when Hagel misses on glorious chances and the lines are all kinds of f***ed in part due to Point's injury, and in part because Cooper doesn't have good enough feel.

Lol, not even close to the truth after 13 whole games, but hey, if that's your opinion you should have a lot of nights free I guess.
We're not deep enough, our mistakes end up in our net, Big Cat is merely good, almost never great anymore.

the season is already over, sweet. need a new GM, new scouting department, new coaching staff. Maybe a new new GM will be able to find a gem on the FA market, because the current one keeps signing trash, and maybe a new coach will be able to build a well-structured team. because right now it's not a team at all. if not, Kucherov 100% won't re-sign. Then I don't even know when they'll make the playoffs next time, maybe in 12-13 years if they're lucky

Perbix coming back to earth after a decent start. Lilleberg just isn't ready, might never be. Hopefully Crozier up soon
Before the start of the season I thought there was no way Raddysh would be an every night healthy scratch, but he hasn't given them much reason to put him back in. Puts all 3 of those guys in question. Which still wouldn't be that terrible if not for McD and Cernak having a rough road trip

Cernak has fumble f***ed the puck for years now, Hedman and McDonagh showing age defensively. Sucks things are crashing down right now.

He's played well paired with Heddy the few times they did it this year, doesn't look comfortable at all in a 2 righty pairing.

Team feels kinda f***ed even with him. Not optimistic

Still felt extremely dangerous and always a threat to score. So many missed passes the last couple of games and guys feeling each other out.

Most teams have a bad 3rd D pair, but they can play 12-13 minutes just fine. And what's the point of blaming Lilleberg and Perbix if McDonagh who is supposed to be the best defenseman on the team makes atrocious mistakes like he did against Winnipeg and Minnesota?
I don't think the problem is personalities.

Do you think it's because Eric Robinson is so good and these guys are so bad? because i don't

Eric Robinson is good. Girgensons has never been much of a contributor, same with Glendening, Atkinson is washed, Eyssimont has been AAAA caliber every year of his pro career with the exception of last season. I do think the message is getting stale with Cooper, but BriseBois (plus some poorer amateur & pro scouting) has f***ed the roster beyond repair.

Lilleberg and Perbix had a rough night. Plus no Brayden Point, and at the end of a road trip.

This game could've gone either way, it seemed like TB had 2 or 3 automatic goals and they just didn't go in. Some glaring errors got the best of them, no doubt. But a couple of these recent games could have gone the other way with some good fortune. Not too worried.

That third goal against was the BALL BUSTER. And, I'm sorry, not sorry, its emblematic of a horrible D pairing that probably cost them the points.

Tampa, FL.
why didn't JBB sign him then? fire him
the team has been stagnating for 3 years. something needs to change but all they did was -Stamkos, +Guentzel and they think it will work? lol


against a bad team, not the Florida Panthers
Lol, yes, Eric Robinson and his career high of 12 goals and a career .3 ppg player was ghe answer, sure it was...JBB added Guentzel, McD, Moser, Geekie, but yeah, all he did was replace Stamkos with Guentzel...it was a bad road trip, if only they still had a bunch of games to play, oh wait. They are still over .500 against a pretty tough opening schedule, and JBB did a fine job with most of the additions this off season.

Interested to see how BriseBois views Atkinson, Eyssimont, Girgensons, Raddysh, Lilleberg, and potentially even Perbix if they keep up this below average play.

We lose to bad teams every single year. We lose badly to bad teams sometimes. Hell, Arizona beat us 7-1 the year we won the first cup.

Yes, it sucks to lose. But some of the reaction is a little nutty.
