GDT: 2/17/24 - 5:00PM EDT - Florida vs Tampa Bay

[Stelio Kontos]

Roller coaster season

No way this team gets out of the 1st round unless vasy goes GOD mode

I'd prefer to sell at the TDL and reset for next year. Too many worthless players on the team.

That January winning streak and beating Colorado 4-3 (with their backup in)created a lot of false hope.

Bolts getting their teeth kicked in by the eventual Stanley Cup champs, take some solace in that I guess.

Tampa doesn't respond well to getting dunked on anymore. You think while getting embarrassed they'd throw more hits get a little angry, but instead, now they just roll over and die

 

[Master P]

Team had one period where everything went against them. Shit happens.

 

[JTBF81]

Vasy being bad, Kuch being lazy and dumb, defense being bad.

So about the norm whenever the team has an atrocious game this season.

I've already mentally moved on to Monday vs Ottawa

just get out of this one without any injuries

 

[T REX]

Cooper will start going empty any minute now

 

[JTBF81]

Whatever, it's one bad game, shit happens and it Unfortunately won't ne the last this regular season. Nothing from today is changing the fact that they are still contenders and JBB is looking and likely will be buying to improve the blueline and probavaly middle/bottom 6 at or before the deadline.

Nah man we gotta sell everything. I mean did you see that first period? /s

 

[Todd1a]

Vasys ego too big to be pulled

Piss his ego off and pull him !

Ah, yes, time for a close out clearance, everything must go lol

I just hope he can find rentals for mid draft picks on expiring deals not another Jeannot trade

 

[JFleegs]

bob outplaying Vas again

 

[Felonious Python]

Things have settled down this period. Unless Vasi lets another one in late, he'll be in net for the third period.

Maybe not a Jeannot type deal, but I'd rather him pay a couple of premium futures for either guys with term or ufas they can actually re-sign and that will help the team for at least several seasons to come.

 

[Master P]

I know ya'll don't want to hear this but we aren't loosing this game because of Vassy.

 

[Felonious Python]

shoot the thing that looks like the puck into the net

 

[JFleegs]

I know ya'll don't want to hear this but we aren't loosing this game because of Vassy.

he's not helping

 

[The Gongshow]

Can they just request not to play the 3rd and end this misery

 

[JoVel]

Kucherov is on JT Brown level this season when it comes to breakaways.

 

[Master P]

he's not helping

Go watch the goals again.

I agree. The problem is that Vasy isn't winning us games this year either like he used to. I'm not sure he'll ever return to the Vasy of 2019 - 22. The injury doesn't help him his year but he wasn't his normal self all of last year as well.

Our d is going to continue to get worse as the years go on and that's why we need him the most. Kuch is the reason this team is in the spot they are this year. It's been all Kuch

 

[JFleegs]

Go watch the goals again.

they were weak, the goal from the side boards wide open hit his wrist instead of in the glove. An echl goalie could have made that save. Hes also not tacking pucks worth shit. Bob looks way more sharp tonight.

You mean the one where Kuch turned it over at the blue line and gave them a free one timer? That one?

 

[Sky04]

Get's dropped 6, not his fault. lmao

Pretty stupid to think we're contending with this big a question mark in net at the moment. Our goalie single handedly lost us the series last year despite the rest of the team playing top tier and the issue still exists.
