GDT: 2/27/24 - 7:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Philadelphia

[DistantThunderRep]

We've got Buffalo, Montreal, 4 days off, and then Calgary - all at home, before the trade deadline

I bet we win against Buffalo and then lose against Montreal and Calgary.

I wish ppl would stop babying vasy. Dude is making 9.5 million and we treat him like he's a porcelain doll.

Time to turn the heat up on him. If he was in Toronto they would be dogging him.

Time for our local sports folks to ask some tough questions.

Cooper post game:

"Weird night with all the stuff going on. We got goalie'd. Boys played well and kept it close. They pulled off a couple shots that, you know, no goalie is stopping."

Any takers?

I think there might be something about not looking back and turning the page

 

[Master P]

The team had plenty of chances to score multiple goals when it was still tied. Nobody could finish.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Vasi is having a great game. Nothing wrong.

Lmao look how wrong this guy is who is the first person to post this tonight So it can’t be parody.

 

[Stammertime91]

If there's one thing this game taught me is no matter how bad I am at my job, I will never be fired because I'm cool like Conor Sheary

Perfect example of babying vasy.

Awwww....poor baby vasy. Superman wouldn't have stopped those...awwwww

Stop it. Coop is almost done here.

They have 3 or 4 guys with reliable scoring profiles going back to their junior days, so the lack of consistent finish at the NHL level doesn't surprise me.

 

[Master P]

Its obvious Vassy needs to play better. No shit.

Hard to take people seriously on here when they shit on Vassy in every single game.

Its also obvious that the team has plenty of holes that need to be filled.

Its not all on goaltending.

I think he gets one more year, but he could be out if they miss the playoffs. Not sure how pissed Vinik is at BriseBois and Cooper right now

JJ needs to sharpen his skates. Vasy doesn't need rest, he needs a week in the doghouse. Maybe that will wake him the f##k up.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

At least this is mercifully over with, I can go let my wife down like Vasy is letting the team and fans down. :X

 

[DistantThunderRep]

While dogging on Vasy is completely earned this season, I swear the guy needs to get on TRT. A lot of his signs and the lack of effort are signs on low testosterone. His decline from injury to now, makes sense, it would also make sense that it might have an effect chemically in his body. Something unnoticeable until getting tested.

The trade deadline should only be a consideration for this team as a seller or hockey trades. If JBB buys into this then he should be gone. No question.

Not just this season though, dude hasn't been the same for two years now. I think he's mentally broken and while it won't happen I wouldn't be opposed to trading him. Thanks for the Cups but he's just not that player anymore.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Top 4 defenseman out for the majority of the year and the #1 goaltender out for the beginning of the year and Recovering, yeah no one is getting fired this year get the f*** outta here.

I can see a reason to buy. Like if Hanifin is actually on the table, I don't believe he is, but if he is. With an extension that is effective move for now and the future. A move like Paul or Hagel was is a move for now and later. Being buyers at the deadline isn't necessarily terrible, it just needs to have some moves with future planning over planning for the now.

Which is exactly why buying this TDL makes no sense. I'm all for holding off this year. There's too many holes and even if you fill two with serviceable players, I still don't have confidence in Vasy. Would rather ride it out and see how he is next year.

exogenous chinese synthetic hormones are probably on the training table for everyone in the nhl to grab let’s be honest.

Helps when Philly's goalie makes some big saves.

Low T-levels are really weird in people's bodies. The charts on the percentage of men with low-t is pretty high considering. You wouldn't think a professional athlete would get it, but it is possible.

We don't have the assets for that sort of thing anyway, but if theres a decent trade worth making then yeah I think you make it.

Preferably something that ships out sheary.

Helps when your goalie comes with a functioning right arm and blocker.

Lose to Buffalo, beat Montreal, lose to Calgary
