GDT: 2015-16 Other Playoff Games II

[do0glas]

The Pitt-TB series is so different than ours. Lighter on defense but a lot heavier on offense. Will be interesting to see how these teams play against the Blues/SJ teams which are physical as well as fast.

Well I haven't really thought about who id want to face. But my gut says penguins. Need one more win though!

If the Sharks can advance, I'd probably rather play TB simply because they don't have their best player.

Although the Pens have a pretty mediocre defensive corps...

 

[USF Shark]

Ouch! 3-0 with less than 30 sec left in the second. That's a dagger from Crosby

 

[Timo Time]

Honestly not sure how Tampa is even leading this series.

True. But sustr carle coburn isn't exactly convincing either.

Tampa might be the best choice because no stamkos or padzilla. But then you have a guy Matt Murray who should fall off soon...right? Lol.

It might be too much to ask to shutdown Crosby Malkin and kessel though.

I'll have to think about it

Pittsburgh's best players have taken a few nights vacation this series...

 

[Bleedred]

TB looks like a pretty good AHL team playing an amazing NHL team tonight. They also looked like this in game 3, getting outshot 48-24 or something.

It's already 26-11 in favor of Pittsburgh tonight.

They have Letang. With Daley out of the playoffs now. They are really thin on D. I am not very familiar with their players but this is their lineup for todays game.

Bennett-Crosby-Hornquist
Kunitz-Malkin-Rust
Hagelin-Bonino-Kessel
Kuhnhackl-Cullen-Fehr

Maata-Letang
Doumoulin-Lovejoy
Cole-Schultz

Their forward core is pretty good but I think we match up well against them. Their 3rd line has actually been their best line for most of these playoffs.

That D though, I don't know, is not exactly instilling fear in me. Hedman is a beast though. I know Letang is good but Hedman is a force.

Anyway, we need to win another game against a tough Blues team. Can speculate after that ..

 

[Episkey]

That's the stuff you expect to see from Crosby more often. I'm happy as long as this series goes 7.

 

[hohosaregood]

The more that Letang and Hedman have to play, the better.

A lot of that is Tampa just sucking ass. Passing up shots, terrible puck management.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

And poor NZ play yet they could easily be leading lol.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

Honestly think SJ or STL would beat either of these teams with Daley and Stamkos' respective injuries. If SJ chokes this series to STL, I think Backes/Stastny would become the worst #1C to ever win the Stanley Cup.

That does not matter. If they are good enough to help their team win a cup, they are good enough and well deserving.

 

[Bleedred]

Absolutely.

I think they're better than what they've looked like in games 3 and 6.

 

[Led Zappa]

Ha ha, they totally edited that Jumbo commercial to leave out the "we broke them" part.

 

[USF Shark]

Penguins are imploding

 

[USF Shark]

And Tampa with some bad puck decisions costs them

 

[rangerssharks414]

Game 7 in the east...

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Good push by TBL in the 3rd period. But too little too late. Game 7.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

That's the best thing that could have happened to the Sharks.

 

[rangerssharks414]

That's the best thing that could have happened to the Sharks.

You think so? I'd much rather play Tampa if they win tomorrow night.

Nah, plenty of teams have won with middling centers; they usually are insanely strong on defense and in net. See some of the cup-winning Devils teams.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Tampa tiptoed into the game. They need to put pucks on Murray more often.

Gomez, at one time was a really good player. Holik and Arnott were too.
