I tune in and the first thing I hear is Willie talking about the team being top 10 in posts/crossbars hit as if that means anything. It all just not getting puck luck....f***ing hell Willie quit smoking that shit.

Twas a beauty. That goal was exactly what we thought we were getting
Of all the disappointments this season, Stammer is one of the least. He's gonna finish with between 25 and 30 goals which is pretty close to what was expected. A better coach or even just more consistent lines and next year should be better.
This is one of my favorite GDT thread titles ever. Well done.

Krazy Kyle has had a workout this season with his post goal against keys bashing.

Disagree. As Adam Vingan said, he is on pace for one of his worst seasons in his entire career. And next season he is going to be nothing but older playing with the same scrubs he's playing with now. No top-tier 1C is walking through that door come October.

Which is basically a miracle. I mean they wear nuclear orange uniforms that burn your retinas.

Hey! We suck!
Then you and Vingan were expecting too much.
Most of us around here knew he wasn't pulling anything close to what he had in the past, everyone in Tampa said those days were over. We all figured if he pulled 25-30g with most of it on the PP we would be ok with it.
The main issue is Brunette playing him 5v5 like he was Stamkos from 5 years ago. Not Stamkos fault Brunette is an idiot though.

This is an example of a perfect plan being executed perfectly.

Gotta make sure McCarron, Smith and Vrana get that 13+ minutes.

Missed this one tonight, I can't believe our signature bad luck hit again!
So listening to Burnettes interview on the radio on the way to work he said we have a very young back end. That isn't true we have an inexperienced backend not very young kinda mid. The problem with this franchise is they think 25 is young and it really isnt. At 25 you are at the age when you should be entering your prime years 25-30. The only young player we have on our defense is barron and he's horrible and shouldn't even be on the ice. Another terrible pickup by trotz. Man they're piling up. The ducks who we just played can say they have a younger defense. They have 4 of their 6 defenseman under the age of 25. And probably their best one just turned 24 last month. Mintyukov is only 21 and this is his 2nd year already. We refuse to play our young when they are actually young then call them young with they are 25+

The main problem for me is Stamkos going 0-for-February and almost the same for October. For a guy pulling $8M and guaranteed 1st line/PP1 icetime, I think you want a little more than sort of Craig Smith-streakiness and even 27 goals or whatever he'll end up with. I don't think many teams out there, even ones that suck like our team does, really want to pay a guy $8M for just 50 pts and -25 or whatever he'll end up at.
I'm still very much in the "would give Stamkos away for free" just to get out of that contract camp. But agreed on the Brunette contribution. He's a player who should be getting 15-16 minutes, not 18-20, and he'd probably produce almost exactly the same numbers without having his 5-on-5 metrics wrecked as much by the overuse. His numbers are awful for a 1st line player. But indeed they could be mitigated with better coaching. Marchessault and O'Reilly have roughly the same production as Stamkos, and it makes more sense for guys getting paid $4.5-5.5M instead of $8M.
