GDT: 4/21/24 - 12:30PM EDT - #1 WC Tampa Bay @ #1 Florida [ECQF GAME 1]

[Sky04]

Always happens when one team dominates and doesn't capitalize, momentum should be all TB now

 

[Antiramie]

Looked like a f***ing elbow. Jesus Christ.

 

[ccman68]

puck was long gone but sure no interference

 

[FinnLightning26]

The second line is cooking.

 

[StammerHammer]

And just like that we have six shots.

 

[Rschmitz]

Late hit sends Kucherov to the locker room. Knew it was gonna happen, of course no interference call

edit: he's on the bench, IDK what the announcers meant

 

[Stelio Kontos]

Good pass stam

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Wes McCauley is not going to give Florida a single call

 

[Meuracas]

3-1-1 dump and chase. I'd have never f***ing guessed it. Not in a million years

1-3-1?

 

[DaBolts]

I can see with McCrappy as the ref, we aren't getting any calls. May have to let Jeannot beat the snot out of one of those clowns.

 

[Point21]

embarassing first 16 minutes, better final 4 minutes

 

[StammerHammer]

Oh Ace. So close.

 

[Antiramie]

Oh lawd, we comin.

 

[Felonious Python]

1-3-1?

1-1-3 NZ FC.

Fun fact, in soccer, the numbers are flipped around, so 3-1-1 would be the more understandable way of writing it.

 

[Rschmitz]

ACE! Almost

 

[Antiramie]

Surprisingly shenanigan-free period of hockey.

Let’s build on that momentum.

 

[FinnLightning26]

With the way we were in the ropes for most of that period, I'm very happy to get out tied. Hopefully they bring the momentum from the end of the period to the second.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Who do we message for the live thread?

 

[Master P]

Well hopefully their legs woke up. Definitely looked like a 12:30 game for the majority of that period.

 

[Maelmoor]

Bad luck for Ace there, but good to see them end the period strong after that poor start!

 

[Meuracas]

1-1-3 NZ FC.

Fun fact, in soccer, the numbers are flipped around, so 3-1-1 would be the more understandable way of writing it.

Looked like they went into 1-3-1 at times too.

Also Eyssimont, so close - that would have been a dagger right before the buzzer.

 

[Antiramie]

2nd and 3rd lines looked solid. 1st needs to get its head out of its ass.

 

[StammerHammer]

12:30 game and an extra day off. They are definitely swimming upstream.
Good finish to the period.

 

[T REX]

Nice rebound 2nd half

 

[JTBF81]

Well, after being outshot 9-0 and looking about as bad as possible the first 15 minutes, the final stats from the 1st couldn't have looked much better for Tampa. Great final 5 minutes!
