Down 2-1 and the doom squad is out in full effect. I shudder to think what will happen when we get eliminated from the playoffs this year, take a chill pill everyone.
Against the Rangers, it'd be Armageddon. And after like 48 hours of looking like we might not have to play that series after all, it's back on with a vengeance.

We gotta get something out of this game

I don't want anymore power plays unless it's a 4 on 3 in OT. It's killing us these two games and halting any momentum that we clearly had on our side before getting 5 on 3.

It's so annoying every team that isn't a bottom feeder blow Tampa out for about 2 weeks there.

PP was fine enough, hit the post seemingly twice, but that's so deflating.

Also, Timo Meier did absolutely nothing on that powerplay and has done nothing all game but take a penalty. Dude's gotta get his shit together.
I get there’s a learning curve and longterm I’m sure he will be fine…but let’s be honest with ourselves….he’s been substandard at best and that’s putting it VERY nicely.

Someone mentioned it before but why make Timo stationary in front of the net, should've been switching with Hughes and Bratt the entire 2 mins. Nico dropping his stick cause that whole Stamkos thing, also didn't help you don't decide to cover one of the best goal scorers in the last decade either.

I was wondering about that. Was he asked to plant himself on that post? Hughes scores on that 5v3 and it would be a totally different feel.
I don't really know what the strategy was with him. He wasn't really even battling in the middle of the ice either, kind of just standing there waiting to receive the puck and not really doing anything to get himself open or even try to plant a good screen on the goalie.

DIdn't like Timo's usage on that 5 on 3. And really didn't like that one timer from Hamilton with no traffic in front after a quick zone entry. Not scoring those and it just wastes time

I said this days ago, we went through this with Mogilny. Kovalchuk's numbers his first half season were better than I remembered, but let's be honest his impact didn't match his numbers.

I really liked their second period, but that goal is really aggravating. It was basically like a 1 on 3 then everyone puck watches but doesn’t actually get the puck.
