Lol Carle - wtf was that

"I've met my quota for good plays tonight so I'll just do this..."

 

[Brie]

The 1st line have a hard time keeping the puck going and keep giving it away.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Yeah, I was about to post saying that Carle was a having too good of a game and then that... "play"

 

[2016cupwinners]

Barberio with a good hip check, nice to see.

Sadly, 90% of the time it's on Stamkos.

Like... okay, you have a screen in front and no real pressure on you. Here are your options.

a) Slapshot - hope it gets through traffic or gets tipped on the way through or gives up a nice rebound - it creates chaos. Good play.

b) Hang on to it and pass it to someone on the halfwall, where they may be able to make a better play. Not a good play, but not always a bad one.

c) Weak backhand right to a defender.

d) Shoot it into your own net.

C isn't much better than D.

 

[Sky04]

lmao, Malkin has 22 points against us in the last 10 games.

Barbs needs more opportunity. He's looked good pretty much every time out this year.

If he would've just gotten it off the ground, it wouldn't have been as bad. But he literally passed it right to the Pen. DUUURRR

Carle's go-to play is flipping the puck weakly into traffic. He does it so much that you have to wonder if it's a direction from the coaching staff. He has a decent slapper. He just never uses it. Gudas does the same thing a lot, which is why I think it might be the staff.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

Of course we get the penalty.

 

[Brie]

Another save by Vasy on Malkin.

And look, we got a penelty.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Hahahaha refs

 

[The Macho King]

These ****ing refs.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

We just got Francois St. Laurent'd

 

[Vasilevskiy]

It's been ridicolous, I hate ****ing st.laurent

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Barbs needs more opportunity. He's looked good pretty much every time out this year.

I'm for it.

 

[Leonardo87]

So far so good for the 3rd line.

Want to see them score, they would of had a goal if not for that stupid ref and his early whistle.

 

[Brie]

Palat looks exhausted, he can hardly breath.

Not sure if this is a 'defense' for the ref, but on the previous play, Uher bumped into Boyle in front of Vasilevskiy after Vasi gloved the puck. This caused a little post-play scuffle. The ref may have tried to prevent things escalating quickly from back to back goalie plays and blew his whistle early.

 

[dbieon12]

Wow, Drouin looks huge compared to Vinik and that lady...

 

[DFC]

If they keep guys like Crosby neutralized all year like this, I honestly don't care if they ever score. It's been pretty impressive.

 

[Brie]

Haha on Gudas on that last replay.

I'm not looking forward to the 'payback' game (assuming we finish this game with a win) on Jan 2... in Pittsburgh...
