[Todd1a]

Omg thanks cooper !

 

[Hockeyville USA]

This team is not getting past the first round. It’s just not happening.

Toronto could shoot themselves in the foot over and over again, but otherwise, I don't disagree

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Clownden. Which is a nickname I just gave him.

 

[Master P]

Just think guys, if Halverson is in net this is a totally different game. I am very smart.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

We aren't the slightest bit prepared to play tonight and it shows. We haven't been dangerous in any facet save 2 good shifts and a shorthanded chance

Yeah last couple games its like they just came in and didn't care at all. Like with how bad the whole team played over the last 2 games, the only thing that makes sense is that they all are hungover.

They're just so inconsistent you never know which team you're going to get.

 

[Master P]

They're just so inconsistent you never know which team you're going to get.

For whatever reason they just haven't been nearly as good away from home.

Could be coaching issue, no last change and all that.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Just a gross 1st period overall

 

[aylib]

They're just so inconsistent you never know which team you're going to get.

Consistently inconsistent should get us give or take a couple of wins. Sounds about on par

 

[Ducati Boy]

We can come back from this. Vegas doesn’t deserve to be up by three.

 

[bov]

Basically an even game through 1 but the puck is going in for Vegas. Can't say any goals were "bad" but a save on at least 1 out of the 3 would've been nice. Still don't feel like this one is over though.

Haven't they had road issues going back to 2022-23?

 

[Soul Assumption]

3rd in the Atlantic
first round exit
the only question is will it be a sweep or will we somehow manage to win one game

Good that home ice is still a very obtainable thing too with how close Toronto, Florida, and we are in the standings.

 

[Stelio Kontos]

really don’t think that period was that close. Vegas seemed like they had way more chances and we were kept to the outside..

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

Yeah last couple games its like they just came in and didn't care at all. Like with how bad the whole team played over the last 2 games, the only thing that makes sense is that they all are hungover.

We'd rather skate into 3 players tonight than take an ugly shot. I'm not saying we don't have shots. I'm saying I've watched a full period of BS that isn't gonna get us any kind of goal tonight. Break some f***ing dishes and get an ugly one

 

[T REX]

9 goals in 4 periods. Puke.

 

[Master P]

Thats what happens when you don't have any size.

can’t get ugly ones when you have the smallest forward group in the league.. can’t forecheck don’t hit kept to the outside way too easy

 

[T REX]

Thats what happens when you don't have any size.

Unfortunately agree. There's little sandpaper on this team. Maybe I'll be surprised. Who knows

 

[Master P]

This is where we really miss guys like Killorn and even Palat. Both really strong on the puck and big/solid bodies.

We used to have bigger D men as well.

 

[JTBF81]

Fire Cooper and hire this guy.

He's got all the answers.

I know you're a Vasy apologist and that the team can do no wrong, but yeah, the clear choice was to start Vasy last night and maximize points on the road trip.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

This is turning into a disaster of a road trip.

 

[Master P]

I know you're a Vasy apologist and that the team can do no wrong, but yeah, the clear choice was to start Vasy last night and maximize points on the road trip.

Oh the team can do plenty wrong and there are nights when Vassy should be better.

I'm just not on the "blame Vassy after every single goal and give up on the team if they have a rough game or two" crowd.


And like I said, the team should fire Cooper and hire you.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Bjorkstrand has such a sneaky release on that wrister.
