GDT: Mediocre storms collide | Tropical Depressions vs. Bolts

[What the Faulk]

Semin should have shot it there

 

[gocanes88]

Half of their road wins are against us?

 

[SeaBasstian]

wow first 5 mins summary.....hit, save, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, hit, hit, hit, save

 

[NorthStar4Canes]

Well, you seem to be in favor of winning meaningless games and finishing 9th every year. I am not. It doesn't work. Ask Florida/Calgary/etc..

I"m facinated by this concept you have...where a game(s) you lose becomes "meaningless" because you lost it and wind up 9th because of that loss, but if that same game had been won it would have secured a playoff berth. Hmm, that game sounds pretty meaningful to me, actually. This has happened twice since 09.

What you say I'm in favor of really doesn't jive with any reality, unless you believe that those 9th place finishes were pre-destined. Do you believe the Fates dictate these outcomes game-by-game?...or only season finished teamwise. Curious notion, but I don't believe I'll sign-up for it.

Look at reality past a paper roster. This team aquired one of the best players in hockey, Semin (and JStaal) and yet this team is losing again and scoring is abysmal. Offense is abysmal in terms of pressure, maintaining momentum, and collapsing, and Semin has been working his butt off and playing a well-rounded game since he arrived. There are 3 more lines that are junk, and playing a losers' game. You think adding 1 skillset that may or may not pan out is going to change the culture that is at the heart of things? Good luck with that.

 

[What the Faulk]

Fixed.

With all the random line combinations we've seen prior to this year, I'm surprised they weren't organized by height at one point. Then LaRose would truly have been a 4th liner and no one could argue

 

[Sens1Canes2]

If you don't shoot THAT puck, you're just not ready to win games. Jesus, that was wide open and no one between him and Bishop. WTF.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

And there Skinner should have shoot earlier.

 

[What the Faulk]

Skinner is really good at letting the defender get back in position to get a stick on his shot.

 

[gocanes88]

Remember, folks... we only get Queso if McBain scores into their net.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Remember folks... There's no chance at queso tomorrow.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

If you don't shoot THAT puck, you're just not ready to win games. Jesus, that was wide open and no one between him and Bishop. WTF.

But according to Tripp, he shouldn't have shot it, because Bishop is a big goaltender and in position.

So therefore, the concept of "Put everything on net" goes out the window.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Remember, folks... we only get Queso if McBain scores into their net.

Didn't Jordan score an own goal (Brodeur-goal) when he was the queso-man?

 

[gocanes88]

Yep... against the Devils a couple weeks ago.

 

[Joe McGrath]

I didn't think there was a d-pairing that could scare me more than McBain-Harrison. Sangs-Bergeron? Holy ****.

 

[tomdundo]

It looks weird to see Cooper on the Tampa bench rather than Boucher.

 

[gocanes88]

Nobody has the balls to tell John that it's actually "Better Ingredients, Better Pizza" because he's so awesome. Thus, he'll continue to get the order mixed up every single game.

 

[Joe McGrath]

That icing is one of the smarter defensive plays Skinner has made.

 

[tomdundo]

"He didn't know what kind of wood he'd get on it if he'd used Tlusty's stick"

 

[DaleCooper]

My god why didn't these fools ice the puck or go offside earlier. I was certain Stamkos was going to score there. Your first priority has to immediately be to stop the play so your goalie can get a stick.

they tried icing it twice before.

 

[DaleCooper]

Skinner did, but no one else. They were trying to get into the zone. Then finally Skinner got another chance and did it.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Dat Tank

 

[Lazyking]

I like Ruutu on the second line.

 

[Novacane]

Sasha?

 

[gocanes88]

Oh man if that counts.
