Series Talk: ECSFs Discussion - All The Smoke Edition - Panthers Trailing 0-1

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

yeah im ngl im not impressed how weve played so far, were struggling to complete routine plays and playing too aggressive on the hitting side.
Not seeing much of any nice passes setting up for a goal, although the greasy ones in front of the net are good.
that said were somehow up 3-1, but this seems nowhere as dominant as last series felt.

Top line has been shutdown by tampa, and not much from our 4th line which honestly i thought would be better offensively. At least defensively were killing it outside of a bad game 3

Honestly pretty crazy 5 out of 11 goals (not incl empty nets) have been from our blue line.

Losing mikkola and prob ekblad, and bet tampa is gonna come out for blood game 5 so well see who even makes it out of that game.

Yeah we haven’t looked great. Reinhart and Verhaeghe haven’t done much. Tkachuk, even though he had those 2 goals, has been a liability and is slowing down the 2nd line.

3rd line started to get going last night, hopefully that continues.

4th line has been crap.

D has been pretty good overall. Love Schmitty, hope he re-signs with us.

TB has a top 5 defense this year.

Hard to believe when you look at their coverage on the Lundell and Ekblad goals. I would go crazy if I were Cooper, thank god I am not remotely close to this whiny acting queen

They do and with vasi being almost back to form that sucks for us

But sloppy play isnt good defense on their part. Theres been times where weve been dumpin and chasin and get beat to the puck, and zone entries with an immediate bad pass.

3 goals at 50% health, he gets a pass from me honestly

Yes and no. The Jones goal should not have happened and I don't recall many spectacular saves he made last night. He's better than his game 1 performance but yeah the D and PP has let Tampa down big time.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Almost every goal is a result of a defensive breakdown.

They have kept us under 25 shots every game for a team that averages 35. Say what you will but if we get past them, I doubt that continues against Toronto or whoever it may be. Their system is a good one.

I had been this time. Until 3 to go last game he had only let in 1 per. I was genuinely concerned

Got banned from the main boards. So our team is hated by the league and I’m hated by the mods. Then they wonder why we act out

You gotta know how to step to the line and then not go over it.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

I’m proud of these guys being the bullies, aggressors and bad actors around the league. I’ll take that over being the pushover organization we were for 25 years.

 

[Boothinator]

Well Ekblad will miss Game 5 then

Should change your profile pic to a leaf logo if you want ban invulnerability.

Hilariously enough that’s who I was arguing with.

To be fair you were going thread to thread 4 seperate times in less than 30 minutes.

After the first infraction it may be time to pick your spots more wisely.

Oh I agree. I’m just feeling good from last night. It’s more just the nonsense that gets posted and then I post nonsense back.
