Well I guess I’m in the minority but I have confidence going forward.

 

[AlmostThere242]

I will break something the moment I hear "Stamkos unavailable for game 2".

 

[Sky04]

Gave Barzal a lot of shit for playing the perimeter but Kucherov was even worse this game. Just lazy plays all round, Bogosian with that stupid play on the first goal too.

 

[Antiramie]

Well I guess I’m in the minority but I have confidence going forward.

Confidence? lol

Glimmer of hope? Yes.

 

[Stammertime91]

We can hang with them but we need to not suck ass for 40 minutes next game. We were too nervous and predictable early on. They took away the middle for our breakout. Oh well.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Here's the story with this Lightning team:

When the other team tilts the ice they get a goal.

When we tilt the ice we just look good.

f*** me. That’s so true.

Well I guess I’m in the minority but I have confidence going forward.

For sure, we're here in the Stanley Cup Finals aren't we? And we deserve to be here. Nothing good ever came easy.

Kucherov is the antithesis of when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Dress Stamkos for game 2 also if he is at his 50%...

 

[The Gongshow]

Dallas goalie giving me Rolonson/Thomas vibes

 

[Master P]

Well I guess I’m in the minority but I have confidence going forward.

Teams have a feel for each other now. Tampa made some adjustments. Had some chances crashing the net. Got to screen the goalie on every shot though.

 

[Antiramie]

Dress Stamkos for game 2 also if he is at his 50%...

Roll 12 forwards and put him out there to clap bombs on the PP at least.

 

[Tiala]

Nor my liver's.

Monday night is going to be rough.

For your liver?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Dress Stamkos for game 2 also if he is at his 50%...

The PP and our goal scoring department in general miss him.

Might as well break something now. We all know it's coming.

 

[JoVel]

I don't see a reason for not dressing Stamkos for game 2... If he can stand still and take a shot, he should play.

Power Plays and Important faceoffs only.

 

[TheFurryPickle]

Familiar stink of not being able to finish. We aren’t scoring a lot of pure goals. Lots of garbage or goalie error ones.

Much preferred we played a defensive game today but alas.

Still think we will embarrass them one game and go 6-0

 

[gn2007]

I believe superstitions, we lost to calgary game one 4-1 on home ice in 2003-2004

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Let's just pretend those first two periods didn't happen

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Stamkos needs to play even if he only goes for 4th line minutes + PP

They sat on that 3rd period, make no mistake, we've seen that with Coop.

We need to limit mistakes with them.
Bogosian brainfart can't happen again, Shattenkirk can't keep making those atrocious plays and Vasi cannot let softies. Dallas will punish those mistakes.
And we need to break through Khudobin

 

[Antiramie]

Never seen someone look as lazy in a SCF game like Kuch did tonight.

Dude can be an absolute cancer sometimes.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

At this point of the playoffs I think we've been using every off day to rest guys, but tomorrow might be a good day to get them on the ice even for just a little bit to figure out this PP.

 

[Antiramie]

Our one goal was a double doink. I know guys in beer league with better shot placement than some of our scrubs.

 

[Fabiobest]

Roll 12 forwards and put him out there to clap bombs on the PP at least.

Totally agree with you.
We desperately need someone able to score more than once a month...
