GDT: 3/2/23 - 7:00PM EDT - Pittsburgh vs Tampa Bay

[DFC]

Coop is trying to shake it up I think. I get it but I'd have picked Paul

You get what? What is there to shake up about a 5 on 3 with the 2nd best PP in the league?

 

[DaBolts]

Nah f*** that. We need an actual off-season for these guys and to deconstruct the school bus

Just doing the nostalgia thing.

 

[These Are The Days]

Holy f***, What the f*** is Coop smoking? Put Jeannot or Paul in front of the net. Kuch and Stammer on each side. Serge on the top. Point near the corners. Why the f*** is this so hard?

Nah, Serg can sit his ass down

 

[Sky04]

Cirelli is an excellent penalty killer for both teams

LOL, aite that's good.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Killorn must have been tired

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Imagine seeing Cirelli play and think: "yeah, he's the guy to go and make a difference on a very important 5on3"

Coop doesn't want Stammer to take the draw and be in position from the start. I get it. But Paul is a better net front presence and he's got a better FO% than Cirelli. I struggle to understand what Perry's job is.

Let's be honest. How many times has the same lineup wasted golden opportunities like this? I don't know if I'd have trusted it either. Coop is probably throwing Gatorade right now

Awful effort all the way around. Perry on PP1 is DUMB. I hate the lines. Stammer isn’t producing. Paul’s not producing. Killer isn’t producing.

Coop doing nothing about it.

 

[Sky04]

Imagine if our PP players moved like the less talented ones, it's like our mantra is use the least amount of energy possible to score a goal.

This might go down as the best description of our special teams I've ever seen

 

[Major4Boarding]

Hagel - Point - Kucherov
Stamkos - Paul - Colton
Killorn - Cirelli - Jeannot
Older than dirt line

Why is this so hard???

Perry's job is to take away Jarry's stick

This is the way except the school bus line sucks. Give me the new guy or Balcers

 

[DFC]

I dont get Coop wanting 5 forwards 5 on 3 when we have Hedman and Sergachev.

5 forwards is ok.

Not THAT 5 forwards.

Or maybe he's just playing Cirelli out of his element again.

 

[RDTBay4]

Zero energy, movement, and at times, effort.

On the 5 on 3 (or pp in general) we just pass, stand there while everyone else stands there, pass again repeat. Passes aren't crisp and fast enough to force an error. Sloppy.

Cooper and whoever is responsible for the PP need to come up with something new. Also helps if Stamkos' shot is actually on net.

Hagel - Point - Kucherov
Stamkos - Paul - Colton
Killorn - Cirelli - Jeannot

Once the TDL is over Coop needs to just turn his attention to completely reconstructing the offense outside the 1st line. Integrate Balcers, Mikey and Jeannot -hell make a line out of them. I don't care. Consolidate what's left of our offensive talent with Stamkos.

 

[Major4Boarding]

It won’t happen till next season, but I would like to have Eyssimont and Balcers on a line

4th or otherwise

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Give me goals or give me pain

[Stormbreaker]

Same group out there to start the 3rd.......COOPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Great Pass Cirelli
