Meh, it was a close one goal game that could gone either way. Normally we would convert on at least one of those powerplay opportunities.

Let's try to bounce back right away!

 

[Hoek]

Chaffee fluked into a goal on the powerplay last game and now we’re back to this shit. Having all the right-handed shots is completely useless when they are never a threat to shoot the puck.

Our PP is good stats wise but to score on the best PKs more consistently we could use a real threat on that side. They overloaded on Kuch and Point and we didn't have much of an answer.

Fact-Vasy gave up 2, including one he probably should've had, Bob gave up 1. Vasy played well-fact; he had a good sv % 27/29, but Bob was better, stopping 28/29. Sorry you don't like what Isaid, but it was all facts, so again, don't really care about whatever you think about it.

Pathetic

Pathetic

I stated some factual points about the goaltending in a game, and I didn't blame Vasy. You came up with some rant assuming I was blaming Vasy for the loss. If you think his .931 sv % was pathetic, that's on you.

I know times changes but nobody talks about the change of mentality, how we can beat Leafs and Panthers if we don't play hard against them, even more in playoffs. Only 12 hits, nobody cares about it? We are on the ice just to skate, everybody afraid to intimidate, we looks like a figure hockey team, can't understand how Cooper accept it. He always talks about a mix between Oilers magic and Flyers toughness from the past and now we looks like Switzerland national hockey team. I get bored watching them, can't believe it, zero passion or interest to show something different...

What I saw on the PP’s was a concerted effort to simply control the puck—which is in sharp contrast with creating scoring opportunities via uncontested shots. Controlling the puck does not, in and of itself, score goals. They need a different PP set up when playing those guys.

Yet even while doing that Florida had a couple of good chances for a short handed goal.

Lilleberg has really lost his edge. Started after the first Boston game, then he takes the Frederic fight and hasn't mixed it up since then. The one time he tried stepping up on someone after that, got suspended. Since then he hasn't been bad, but the physical factor is just nonexistent. He needs his mojo back.

Lilleberg said he's not looking for fights, but won't back down if asked. I think he hasn't been challenged since that fight in Boston.

But you're absolutely right, his physical game is gone. I believe the suspension scared him off, or more specifically losing $10k. He wasn't aware of those big fines. But his physicality is his trademark imo, and the reason why the Bolts signed him. Without it his NHL career may end up a short one. So as you said, he needs to start playing hard again.

Your reply is as expected, as was your pitiful attempt to mock my use of the word "pathetic". I decided to feed the troll a bit with the end of my reply. I guess I'll await your next attempt at a jab with it as it must really get to you, since you can't help mention it in response half the time after a loss.

 

[Master P]

I thought you didn’t care about whatever I had to say?
