[stish]

I'm assuming Nashville usually plays better then they did tonight.

 

[IdealisticSniper]

* Minus that teams best d, 2nd line c, and top 9 wing.

But yes TB looked ridiculously good tonight.

I'll give you Shattenkirk but the other two are on par with Carle and Gudas being out for TB as far as importance. Meaning even without those guys STL is still a hell of a team.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Jets have been incredibly undisciplined on the road tonight. Good thing for them the Canucks have been brutal on the PP lately.

 

[rumrokh]

Hockey sucks sometimes lol. TB dominated STL all night long and should have easily been up 3+ goals and walked away with a win.

Tarasenko with a hell of a shot and Elliot being extremely good and at times extremely lucky all game and STL gets the two points for being steam rolled most of the night.

Oh well. TB just showed they can take on and dominate anyone in the league when they play their game. On to the next one.

Tampa Bay had the better of the play, overall, but almost all of that was in the first 15 minutes. The Blues were equal to them or better for about 25 straight minutes in the middle of the game, so "dominated all night long" is just not accurate.

Also, when was Elliott lucky? Were Bishop's saves lucky, too? I don't get it. Tampa Bay is great, but they weren't so much better that it should have been a blowout.

 

[IdealisticSniper]

I'll say this. If TB ever figures out that shots on goal during the PP will actually produce goals, they might never lose again.

Just leaving this game. Tampa definetely dominated the first period. I don't think the game was as lopsided as you say though. Pretty gutsy win by a team without several key players. Lots of fun was had by all.

Are you being serious? STL had 18 shots all game. 12 of them were garbage shots with no threat to score. Bishop made like two good saves all night. Elliot made about 10 amazing saves and a couple of them he got lucky on. Nothing wrong with that he was amazing all night and the only reason STL even had a chance to win.

And STL had about a 10 minute stretch in the second period that they played EVE with TB. They were thoroughly dominated from basically start to finish. It's not even a question.

 

[alexny]

The Leafs look tired.

I thought they showed signs of life tonight, particularly considering that Nashville is a much better team.

If they do decided to blow it up, Winnik and Santorelli would be good additions for some playoff teams.

Lol... it's ok. I tend to exaggerate when my team loses as well.

Actually at one point in the second shots were 11-4 for St. Louis. I would hardly say the second period was even.

 

[RiceCooker]

AVs tie it late.

Clean out your ears. All eleven of those shots were garbage and Elliott was lucky.

Oh that's interesting considering they only had 10 shots in the second period.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Granted the Canucks currently have a lousy powerplay, but to me it doesn't seem that the Jets are dirtier than any other team, they just get called for it. I mean, Henrik Sedin drew a penalty in the game for holding. The Sedins get held every single game, it's strange that the refs call it against Winnipeg. It's not the wrong call, it's just no one else gets called for holding.

Well pretty much every single stat backs up what I'm saying and anyone who watched the game without TB or STL colored glasses on would most definitely agree as well.

Can't argue with you there. Could be called almost every shift on them.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

My boy Sasha scores ! Finally !

 

[canadianmagpie]

Why is there a Kermit the Frog behind the Canucks penalty box?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Will this shootout end?

 

[Stad]

Shootouts are such a joke lol

 

[canadianmagpie]

Jets get screwed on a similar type of call that the Canucks got screwed on. Trouba contacts Lack's leg as he goes by preventing Lack from making the follow up save.

Got screwed? Trouba completely took out Lack's leg and stick, allowing a teammate to immediately score.

I think that Lack would have been hard pressed to make that follow up save even if there was no contact. I'm glad there's now some consistency in the calls after Vrbata was called for interfering with a goalie's position. It was the right call based on that previous decision.

But I've seen goalies bumped into with more physical contact after a goal was scored and not be given a penalty. They should give the goal, then a two minute penalty for goalie interference.

That has nothing to do with anything. Tripping a guy behind the play who's probably not going to score is still a penalty.

And there is very little to compare this to the Vrbata play, other than the rule that was applied. Vrbata was a positional thing, not a crash into the goalie on a rush to the net thing.

 

[Cypher]

AVs tie it late.

Avs have tied it late with the goalie pulled in 4 of their last 6 games.

Avs are 0-19 on the PP during that same stretch.


Also, you do not poke Varlamov

.. no penalty either
