GDT: 5/24/16 - 8:00PM EDT - #2 Pittsburgh VS #2 Tampa Bay [ECF GAME 6]

[Antiramie]

20 min of effort does not equal a win. We didnt deserve this just like Pitt didn't deserve Game 4. Hopefully we'll learn from this for game 7.

 

[Cigar City]

Do you know how nervous I am going into game 7 in Pittsburgh

Why would you be nervous? You know they will lay an egg.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Well history is on our side when it comes to ECF Game 6s

2004: Lost game 6, won the series
2011: Won game 6, lost the series
2015: Lost game 6, won the series

 

[The Gongshow]

Vasi has been great but I would feel a lot better with Bishop in net for game 7

 

[dbieon12]

Vasilevskiy: 3 4 3 3 4

Blah blah not his fault
Blah blah shots against.

Not good enough.

 

[Sky04]

No offense, but Vasy should have been pulled already. A 6th skater would have kept that puck in.

No, game was in reach 5 on 5 witht heir momentum, I agree with Cooper here, 2:30 is a long time.

 

[Brie]

If the team could have played like they did in the 3rd the whole game then I'd say the result would have been clear but they didn't want that so this isn't surprising. Oh well, we seem to love game 7's away so why not though sincw we'll probably play that game mostly short handed because it's Pitt it will be damn tough one and they can't play like they did tonight if they want to do something with it.

 

[Intermission]

what is this "game seven" with which you speak?

 

[HoseEmDown]

JT Brown can really fight? What?

 

[Cigar City]

Vasilevskiy: 3 4 3 3 4

Blah blah not his fault
Blah blah shots against.

Not good enough.

These guys don't remember that Bish rarely allows more than 2. Short term memory loss.

 

[dechire]

Yeah because an injured Bishop is the answer to the skaters' crap effort

 

[Darth Corgi]

Well there you go. Thursday then.

Where does this put us?? Flashback to last years ECF??

 

[HoseEmDown]

Vasilevskiy: 3 4 3 3 4

Blah blah not his fault
Blah blah shots against.

Not good enough.

This should've been a sweep with how poor the team effort has been.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Well I originally called Lightning in 7, I don't really know what to expect on Thursday, if the Lightning show up they win, but if they try to ease into it they lose.

 

[DFC]

Well history is on our side when it comes to ECF Game 6s

2004: Lost game 6, won the series
2011: Won game 6, lost the series
2015: Lost game 6, won the series

These things are the biggest jinx. We have no chance now.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

didnt have our legs hope for better next game

i like our chances

this is fine

time to bounce back

 

[Stammertime91]

Too many ineffective players out there. Kucherov, Johnson and Palat were all mediocre. Drouin tried but had no help. Callahan and Boyle were our best forqards. KK was the best player all night, props to him. Vasy was alright. Filppula, I can't wait til he is gone, the guy is a disappointment out there. Paquette was ineffective. Same with Killorn. Defense was absolute shambles tonight.

60 minutes away from the season being over. We had no reason letting thus get to this point. If we showed up every game like we know we can, it ends in game 5 or ended tonight. We have, for whatever reason I have no idea, taken COMPLETE games off. You let the opponent get by for 40 minutes with 11 shots against them.

11 shots in 40 minutes. Wtf. We deserved to lose.

 

[Antiramie]

I at least have a glimmer of hope given that 3rd period effort. If we don't get screwed by the zebras I think we have a decent shot. We have the talent to win game 7, with or without Bishop. It's a matter of effort/coaching.

 

[The Gongshow]

Yeah because an injured Bishop is the answer to the skaters' crap effort

The team actually plays infront of Ben tho, they always leave Vasi out to dry

 

[The Gongshow]

I should have stopped watching after the 2nd. That 3rd period come back was f****** heartbreaking

Cooper benched carle unleashed koekkoek he is starting to wake up!

 

[dechire]

Not really. They have taken a ton of games off with Bishop in net.

 

[The Gongshow]

Team better show up thursday, none of this show up for the last 15minutes of the game b.s

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

Cooper benched carle unleashed koekkoek he is starting to wake up!

boyle vasy koekkoek drouin were my players i was really happy with today

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

He's been better. Tonight wasn't so great. Not all his fault, but there are pivotal points in a game where you need your goalie to make a save, and that was the Crosby one or the Bonino one. Either. I don't want to get on him, but those are goals you have to keep out to give your team a chance. As long as he gives us a chance, we can usually pull though. Giving up the 3rd and then 4th, that's too much for any team to overcome.
