GDT: cains at lightening

[Wolfpuck]

Tro was held by Point no call hahaha

 

[Canes]

Hockey is lame

 

[CanesUltimate11]

Man, I knew Staal was strong but damn… the barest of tugs and he sent Stamkos spinning….

 

[Svechhammer]

Jordo needs to be benched in OT

Everything he did in OT tonight was bad. Everything. And this is a trend for him.

 

[VAcaniac]

Lol Jordo is such a mess in OT

Lost the faceoff, couldn't decide whether to change leaving a 2 on 3

Committed a penalty on the clear

Just all around ugly individual effort

Yeah wtf was that? He went to change but comes back???

 

[Wolfpuck]

This league is such a f***ing joke.

 

[hockeynjune]

They own us when it counts prove me wrong

 

[The Faulker 27]

What a BS way to end a hockey game.

 

[CandyCanes]

Don’t like that call. But the Staal OT opening faceoff thing has gotta end. The 3-4% faceoff boost from Staal isn’t worth it having him on the ice if we lose the faceoff.

 

[VAcaniac]

On a bright note, Raanta outplayed Vasilesky.

 

[DaveG]

seriously, stop using Staal in OT to start things, he's been f***ing ass on the draws to start OT for the past few games and when he inevitably loses it he's f***ing useless.

 

[Wolfpuck]

As bad as the refs are now, just wait until the real screw job in the playoffs.

 

[Svechhammer]

And it's not even the penalty on Jordo that I'm upset about. Losing the faceoff and then skating to the bench only to stay on the ice while Tampa had the puck in the offensive zone was braindead f***ing stupid

this.

His only reason is to win the FO and he doesn;t any more

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Just flipped to Pulp Fiction on TMC and the scene that’s on is quite literally a replay of that OT. Zed/refs raping Marcellus Wallace/the Canes. Who will be our Butch/Bruce Willis?

 

[Wolfpuck]

We better drop 10 on Montreal Thursday.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

Yeah wtf was that? He went to change but comes back???

I assumed he’d lost his stick. Probably should have changed at that point

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Especially considering he’s lost like his last 5 OT opening faceoffs...

 

[CanesUltimate11]

I will say if Tampa has to rely on the PP they are screwed come playoff time if the don’t play us.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

They own us when it counts prove me wrong

Does this game count more than the first 2 for some reason? Obviously they beat us in the playoffs but both teams are very different from last year and that’s a small sample size (not to mention they’ve won back to back Cups so no one else in the league can claim the Bolts don’t “own them”). Not worried at all about meeting them in the playoffs. More worried about the Panthers

 

[Tryamw]

Don't worry we'll still go on the kill 5 times a game.

 

[VAcaniac]

Really not even upset. Ill be upset if we lose to Montreal at home.

5 points against Tampa, Caps, and Stl is pretty good.

 

[CandyCanes]

Time to start Trocheck on the dot in OT. He wins 53.8%

 

[Svechhammer]

Yeah wtf was that? He went to change but comes back???

It's the kind of moment that should end the Staal in OT experiment.

I'm not upset with only getting one point tonight. It is what it is. But we have a consistent problem in OT that RBA refuses to address. There is no excuse, Jordo has been a net negative in OT for most of this season. It cannot continue.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Tampa's odds of finishing Top 3 in the Atlantic increased tonight. That's a good thing.

They can hang 5v5, but Tampa's PP is capable of just torching them. Face them only if they have to (Eastern Conference Finals).
