The general rule for defending a 2-on-1 is to cover the open man. Let the goalie cover the shot. Instead, Lee slid over to the shooter and left the other guy wide open for the easy tap in. Fundamental hockey.

Sorry Dan Ellis, (I like you still)

To the Lee haters:
Was that last goal against Lee's fault?
What should/could he have done there?

Good game Garon, for the most part

Glad we are playing like we want to win again, lets hope tomorrow is no different

That GA was MAB's for a ****** pass to Vinny that was a sure open net goal +
Lee's for not leaving the shooter to the goalie and removing the pass option entirely +
MAB for taking the wrong man in the backcheck +
Garon's for giving up a breadbasket rebound that should not have bounced off of him.

Lee has no upside still. MAB has one at least.

I like the way Garon plays. I think I may have more faith in him than Lindy right now.

I'm not a Lee hater and don't think that goal was his fault; the perpetrator was further up the ice in MAB and his intercepted pass. Lee should have played the 2 on 1 a little more to the middle though, and as soon as he saw the man shooting, taken LaRose on the rebound.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Lee played that COMPLETELY wrong

Winner of the obligatory blame Lee for every goal post.

 

[LGB 26]

39 shots on goal. About time they put a bunch on net.

Loving the new guys.

I'm not purely blaming Lee, but thanks for the sarcastic comment. If you read some other posts I've done in other threads you'd see I'm not a pure Lee hater. But, Lee did play that wrong. Sure, MAB and Vinny coughed it up in the O-zone but Lee played the 2-on-1 extremely poorly and no one can deny that.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Anyone ever think that maybe Lee saw Bergeron coming back and was expecting him to pick up LaRose? It was a bad rebound either way.

 

[snowden]

I absolutely love this. The Lightning need to play this at home after wins haha. Someone make this happen please.

Totally agree but I'm sure we see Lindy tomorrow.

MAB was going straight for Sanguinetti, don't think that was it. Whether MAB should have gone for LaRose is a different matter altogether. Goal was not Lee's fault, though he could have played the 2 on 1 better.

Hahaha I love it too. Remember when people were tripping out when Astrophobia kept posting this?

 

[Ajaton Azer]

I enjoyed watching this game. Good effort and great performance from everyone I think. More of the same, please, I hope to see!

 

[Steazy Doo]

St. Louis' best game by far. Pouliot and Lecavalier played well too, Vinny needs to move his feet a little more, though.

Killorn, Pyatt, Panik, Thompson and Hall all played great today. Great first goal from Panik, and dirty pass from Killorn.

Purcell needs to watch how Pyatt and Conacher play on the boards. Fearless.

Can't forget Garon, amazing game.

A 6'3 210lb good skating, good vision, fairly physical defender has no upside?

Well, considering MAB was backchecking on the side of the shooter from his outside, you'd think Lee would go over to the open man since he is the only one who could get there in time. Also a pretty bad rebound by Garon, should have redirected somewhere other than the slot.

I really don't understand all the hate on Lee. It was warranted earlier in the year and he makes mistakes every now and then, but by no means has he been as bad as some people seem to think.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Can't blame Lee. Really just an unfortunate play.

Understandable, you just don't want to completly abandon the shooter, they are too good at this level.

 

[Tampacuseforever]

Great goal by Panik, great assists by Killorn and Conacher. Great to see the kids playing so well. Now will someone wake up Purcell !!!!

 

[Jacko95]

Is Aulie sick or injured?? Just heard before the las two gamesthat he was sick. But nothing today

 

[dbieon12]

WTF is this ****? Can't watch goal replays on the NHL.com boxscore? Have to sign up for Gamecenter?

They need some time to make the highlights, so should come up later

Stamkos is now the leader in points AND in goals (because he has a game in hand to the rest with 12 goals) AND St. Louis is leading the assists category alone now.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Very impressed with how MSL played tonight. Worked on every shift, shooting, setting people up, getting in for rebounds. We need him to play like this every night.

Everything you said would be an upside if you ever got to see it all work together or even in flashes. Last year he put together a couple games where you noticed his physicality. Yet to see it on anywhere near a semi-consistent basis.
