Not watching so not sure how bad they're looking but I would like to see Cooper try some different things this period. Get Stamkos back at C and put him on the 3rd line with Sheary, move Essymont up with Paul and Cirelli. Stamkos needs to pick it up and maybe playing C again will do that.

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

the one where there was goalie interference, that really didn't effect where his glove was.

Third period is for stat padding.

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.

Vasy has been hot and cold this year. Only 2 games come to mind of him standing on his head this year. His defense infront of him is awful, but we're also paying hin to be the best in the world so that doesn't matter, he needs to be better. We'll see how the rest of the season goes.

Loss to the Leafs is 100% on him tho last playoffs. Guy was exposed

Crazy how every loss this team takes is due to the goalie and only the goalie.

I'm only still watching to see how chippy it gets, but who am I kidding. Tampa isn't a tough, imposing team anymore. They get pushed around now.

It's almost March and we're still saying things like this, it's probably a sign we're not contending. Just stay pat, if a deal comes up for a middle-6 forward then take it but no reason to break bank given the question marks. You really wanna spend a fortune and have goalie let in beach balls every time you pull up 3 goals?

Baby girl, let me ask you this. Is Vasy playing to his true potential and worth his contract the last 2 years?

I'm not saying he's the problem, but he has not been the game changer he once was either.

 

[Sky04]

Crazy how every 4+ goal against game is never his fault for a single one.

This team is not a contender anymore. We're in the Pittsburgh/Washington phase of being good enough for a WC spot based off our old af core, but no real threat to anyone in the playoffs

Surprised it took you this long to show up.

Must have seen the score and jumped out of your chair.

JoJo in net for the 3rd

Surprised you used the unblock button, must've been itching to see what was going on when you couldn't follow the convos.

Bought a racing wheel setup as a way to relax. Just going to play that with the game on in the background.

 

[Todd1a]

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.

A first a a prospect for a Blake Coleman trade type would make
Me happy

[T REX]

coop must really be pissed

 

[Hoek]

Vasi was literally the game changer the last two games lol. Goldfish memory

 

[Todd1a]

Yep agree

 

[T REX]

TOUCHDOWN!

 

[Hoek]

Wow JJ sucks why didn't he stop that wide open one timer off a turnover

 

[Point21]

THE KICK IS GOOD

 

[Todd1a]

wow...jj?

coop must really be pissed

I’m proud of you cooper ! Good send a message getting blown out by Florida in our own building is not acceptable

 

[Master P]
