Haha this line is so great. It's like every time they see the lines jumbling below them, they step it up and score to make sure they stay put.

The only line the senile wonder hasn’t f***ed with scores, even though they legit sucked last game

Irresponsible play
I think Tampa's system just outright counters ours - they play extremely supportive on the defensive end and look for transitions far less than we do (aka a defensive lapse to get the puck out, theyre air tight)

If this was a playoff series Id argue you need to commit that second defenseman half way between the crease and boards, not fully to the boards like they want (both D in the corners).

Were getting killed in the center of our zone when were trying to breakout; we either get caught and then turnover or we only have one guy going or a second trailer whos not in good position.

They do an excellent job breaking up our transition plus our sustained offensive zone pressures arent nearly as strong as theirs. In a series wed probably have to adjust, such as focusing our outlets more up the boards and dump and chase with our speed more often than we tend to.
