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

[Coopers Gum]

Boucher-era game.

 

[Cigar City]

Hedman has ZERO offensive IQ.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

A 3 goal lead, was 1 too many.

 

[Bolts265]

Hedman couldn't keep it in. He sucked tonight.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

hope dashed.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Well still a long series but this blows..........

 

[Brie]

Yeah, we could have done something if the team hadn't wait until it was only 10 minutes or so left to do something but they waited to long being down 3 goals.

Oh well, if we can use the 3rd period into the next game then we have a chance to tie the series up, but that will require a 60 minute game by everyone from goalie and out and not playing like the first 2 period this game.

 

[dbieon12]

And that's why you don't pull the goalie when you are down 1 and already dominating the other team. Just dumb.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Bish and a sloppy 20 mins cost us this game. Dominated the 3rd, but too late.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

*sigh* If only we didn't fool around in the 1st period.

 

[JFleegs]

And that's why you don't pull the goalie when you are down 1 and already dominating the other team. Just dumb.

This... bishop and hedman ****ing sucked tonight

 

[Stammertime91]

Hedman has been utter **** outside the first two games against detroit. Callahan with a terrible game, nothing worthy of Browns contract out there. Defense was horrible. Ben was bad. Vasy was good when needed.

 

[Cigar City]

Soft backhander to Kuch who has ABSOLUTELY NO ROOM as it is. Then makes a ******** pinch.

No you know why he belongs no where near the first unit on the PP.

 

[Bolts265]

And Heddy chokes it.

He sucked tonight.
Needs to take shooting accuracy lessons this summer too.

 

[Glide5]

lazy play. earned this loss. hopefully this isnt our true look

 

[Bolts265]

Absolutely disgusting game from Hedman. Deserves a game In the press box

But, but what about his great pre game quotes.

 

[GollyG]

We got Game 2 ... I hope. <---- (emotionally eating)

 

[Todd1a]

This... bishop and hedman ****ing sucked tonight

Yes and cooper should have noticed bishop sucked after the 3rd goal

 

[Kramerica Industries]

With the rest the Lightning had that NYI didn't, this is a huge advantage that has been squandered, so that really sucks.

 

[Android 16]

C'mon ya'll...

 

[FinnLightning26]

The first period killed us tonight. Horrible defense and a bad night by Bishop.

We lost the first game in three of the four series last year but came back to win two of them. If we can win on Saturday we should be fine. If we don't, it's going to take a miracle to win this series.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

I give Greiss props, he stood on his head. Isles showed some of their inexperience in the 3rd and it almost cost them. We could of had a lot more than 2 goals that period, and definitely more than 3 in the game as a whole.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

We can beat them. Hedman and Bish need to step up though

 

[Cigar City]

If we don't get Stralman back ASAP this series ends in 5.

 

[Bolts265]

I know a lot of you on this board think Hedman is god like but I'm still not seeing this greatness that he supposedly has. He just seems to have reached his potential and for my money it ain't Norris caliber. Flame away.
