GDT: 4/27/16 - 7:00PM EDT - #4 New York VS #2 Tampa Bay [ECSF GAME 1]

[DaBolts]

It's a regular season award that's already been voted on. What happens now won't change it.

Apparently the Islanders informed him of that.

 

[Cigar City]

Looks like the semi-undefeated Stammer will have to be worn in game 2

 

[The Gongshow]

Not even testing this goalie tonight either.

 

[nystromshairstylist]

The NYI gave up more three goal leads than any other team in the league over the past three seasons, so don't give up the ship just yet.

 

[dechire]

Can't win puck battles, passes to nowhere, terrible defensive coverage, etc. This game annoys me.

 

[berlin]

this is just embarrassing, isles aren't this good.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

I'm not going to panic until we're on the cusp of elimination.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

How long before Coop goes back to TKO? That'll fix everything........

 

[The Gongshow]

Hedman hasn't look good the past few games

 

[CarpeNoctem]

What's a level below pathetic? THIS TEAM!

 

[These Are The Days]

The Lightning need to just completely reset after this one. No one has done a thing conducive to a goal in over 20 minutes. Passing into traffic, no one screening Greiss, no shots taken from the blue line, no shots from the crease just the same low chance perimeter ******** that a junior player can block.

 

[Brie]

I was thinking that maybe we could do what CHI did last year, when Crawford was struggling in the 1st round against NASH they let their backup Darling be in net the whole series, might be something we could do now, with Bish always struggling against NYI and Vasy playing pretty well against them that maybe we should just run with him, at least next game as well to give it a try.

 

[These Are The Days]

Another penalty

I'm breaking out #4 in honor of 2004.

 

[wxkid23]

Callahan so bad

 

[berlin]

this team can't play until they have to.

 

[DaBolts]

You mean he looks scared. Of what, I don't know.

I don't think you give up on your Vezina nominated goalie after one game. You give him a chance to pull through and Bish surely can do that.

Cally

 

[dechire]

I'm over this game. Just don't let them score anymore and at least get another goal so it's less embarrassing.

 

[Cigar City]

Have to win the third period.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Clutterbuck and Martin are middleweights so are Callahan and Paquette, where'd that fight from last series go? Drop the gloves and try to set some sorta tone.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

If that crowd had any balls they'd boo the **** out of these clowns.

 

[HowYouDrouin]

passing terribly. passing into sticks or missing target.
bobbling pucks.

when johnson did that dangle it was like oh thats right we can actually suprise the other team. and not just skate into their player!

also that penalty on callahan then, i need to see again but looked like clutterbuck just ran into cally and in trying to avoid the hit HE got a penalty?

 

[DaBolts]

Triplets v2.0 look tentative if not scared.

I don't get it.

 

[Obviously]

What a mentally weak team this is.
