GDT: 4/23/24 - 7:30PM EDT - #1 WC Tampa Bay @ #1 Florida [ECQF GAME 2]

[Stammertime91]

I love watching dump and chase hockey in 2024 where our closest forechecker is in Pensacola.

 

[T REX]

EMBARRASSING. Cooper is done here. He should walk away.

 

[DMB06]

We have three shots. We'd need to have 100 percent shooting accuracy to have the lead right now, I'm not sure I've ever seen that.

 

[JTBF81]

Jeannot, De Haan, Sheary, Duclair, Dumba

JBB going 0/5 really f***ed us. Acquired 4 people who can’t f***ing play. Duclair invisible.

Cooper too f***ing stupid to take Duclair off the top line when the 3rd line has been shit too. Give me a break

Duclair is far from the main problem.

 

[Ducati Boy]

When the other team is better you’ve got to be opportunistic. Shoot everything. Take chances.

 

[LordZapp]

Not winning shit if we can't do anything 5v5

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Of course Hagel fans

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Hagel is having a rough 1st period

 

[Hoek]

Why is it always the garbage calls that get scored on

 

[Outl4w]

EMBARRASSING. Cooper is done here. He should walk away.

Half is coop and half is JBB assembling the worst lightning roster over the last two years tearing down the greatness. WE need to trade at least two of Cernak, Jeannot, Sheary, and Sergachev.

 

[Antiramie]

If we shoot 50% the rest of the game we might have a chance!

 

[flying squirrel]

Kucherov refusing to attack net, when he had major space/lane to net, says a bunch. Kuch choose to let Florida's D recover instead of being aggressive and making their D react. Lightning are playing tight, scared, D is reverting back to puck watching, and no one is even trying to take it Florida. 3 shots, no good. That's not going to cut it, no matter other intangibles that happens. Better figure it out soon....

Go Lighting !!!!!

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Even going back to the locker room, no one looks like they care. f*** right off

 

[The Gongshow]

Kuch what the f*** happened to you

 

[Antiramie]

Hagel is having a rough 1st period

He’s been ass the past month or two.

 

[Todd1a]

Again, if Tampa falls in the 1st round again, at the very least all 4 of Sheary, Jeannot, Dumba, and Perbix need to be gone. Re-sign Duclair and Stamkos, use the available space on an actual blueline upgrade on the right side(can get 3-3.5 depending on exact contract values), and give 1 or 2 Crunch guys a role. Oh yeah, and Blashill needs to be fired asap as well so a better defensive system.can be implemented. None of Serg, Cirelli nor Cernak are going anywhere, so you fill in the holes where you can and make adjustments. Series isn't over yet, but there's a decent path forward if they do lose.

Problem is if you resign duclair and Stamkos you don’t have the money to sign a legit defenseman

 

[LordZapp]

Cooper needs to go

 

[DaBolts]

Welp, I have to crash to get up at 3 a.m. to head over to the other coast. Can't wait to see the final when the Panthers get through trucking our "defense"....

 

[The Gongshow]

Even going back to the locker room, no one looks like they care. f*** right off

Blow. This. Team. Up.

In what world is this team gonna go on a run. We aren't a good team anymore. We're old and have 0 depth. All level defense and no depth

 

[Master P]

Hopefully Vassy finds his game in the second or else this team is in trouble.

 

[JFleegs]

What the f*** was that shot bagel? One team showed up, the other is stunned, Cooper get your f***ing team going.

 

[Hoek]

If we were to somehow win this series, it would be our biggest upset in recent memory by a country mile. I can't remember the last time we looked this outmatched in a playoff series. It might've been against Ottawa 18 years ago.

Columbus after that first period felt like that tbh, lol

 

[DaBolts]

If we actually shoot the rest of the game we might have a chance!

Fixed it for you.

 

[T REX]

Half is coop and half is JBB assembling the worst lightning roster over the last two years tearing down the greatness. WE need to trade at least two of Cernak, Jeannot, Sheary, and Sergachev.

Jeannot is a negative asset. No one is taking him. Nobody. Sheary? Nobody is talking him either.

You just aren't gonna get anything back. We overpaid all those guys. JBB totally buggered it up.

He should be fired or asked to step away. I don't trust him anymore

 

[The Gongshow]

I wasn't during the season but I am fully on #FireCoop

It's time. We need a new system and new voice. This ORGANIZATION is too complacent. There needs to be a change. The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over again. This .500 regular season, 1st round exit strategy eint it chief.
