Cheating bastards tried scoring an empty netter! Ha!

 

[Master P]

Not fan of pulling the goalie when you have a PP already.

 

[JTBF81]

Pathetic

 

[Stammertime91]

Damn they scored their 6th one on an empty net and it looked no different without Halverson in net.

 

[Master P]

Challenge it.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

That's what I was afraid of

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Game. Blouses. Thanks for showing up Halverson.

 

[Master P]

People will just be lazy and dump the blame on Halverson when the entire team played half assed hockey.

They got the result they earned.

[T REX]

Damn. Winnable game not winnable

 

[Stammertime91]

I didnt expect you to look like that

 

[Master P]

What is colonel sanders crying about on their bench?

 

[Stammertime91]

Sergachev - 1
Tampa - 0

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bleh. Just be ready for Vegas tomorrow. Expect another playoff like game with a really good opponent.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

This was the expected result.

 

[JTBF81]

This is why you start Vasy today. Utah is a much more winnable game than Vegas, even with Vasy in net. They win 4-2 today most likely with Vasy in net, and then even if Vegas beats them tomorrow with the sieve in net, at least the road trip was successful and they're not that far behind in the division. Now, even with Vasy in net, the odds tomorrow are not great, and another 0 points is very costly.

Bad goalie = Bad game

Came out hard in Vegas last year, very winnable if they're skating stride for stride with Vegas from the start

Nah, that sends the wrong message to the team and Vassy for that matter.

You're essentially saying "I don't think we can win that game".

 

[Rschmitz]

I know blaming it on Halverson seems pretty weak but I think his play style and lack of being good definitely threw the whole team off. In my experience teams either rally around bad goalies and play amazing or they compound the issue by playing incredibly sloppy

 

[Stammertime91]

This was the expected result.

You got too cocky.

 

[Stammertime91]

Well, at least for future reference that saying can apply when Halverson is in net so they can make the correct adjustments. Lol.

 

[Game suspension]

Vasy needs a day off. JJ has a family issue he is tending to

Seems very lame. Apparently the final standings don't mean anything in this division. Not loving this whole post TDL team.

Disagree. It's about percentages and maximizing point totals. Yes, they can beat Vegas, but the numbers say it's much less likely, regardless of who's in net. Even more so on the road in the 2nd half of a b2b. You get the better chance at 2 points today against a worse opponent with your best lineup.
