Go Nucks Go

 

[xECK29x]

Neither team is beating Tampa at this stage. They’re going to be too tired. I could see them maybe grabbing game 1 but then losing 4 straight or 4 of next 5 once Tampa shakes off the rust

Also Stamkos and Kucherov will be back

If the Islanders lose this series, it is 100% on them. They had MANY chances to push the lead or win the game in OT, and they failed to capitalize. The Flyers are nothing special whatsoever. If the Islanders lose I hope Tampa obliterates them

3 Losses, all in OT. No Killer Instinct when it matters. Braindead plays by Mayfield and Toews this series and Varlamov who has looked like a 3rd string guy.

I mean everyone is getting on Eberle but let's face it the whole line is Barzal how many times does Lee turn over the puck or fall down when he gets the puck. Barzy carries that line 100 percent.

that is why Beau should be join Barzal - the 2nd line can do it with Ladd too as Nelson and Bailey almost every time play to each other

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

I wish Sorokin could start. I have no confidence in either of these goalies for game seven.

 

[xIsle]

This, sitting Varly in a game 7 is stupid, you do it this game. They beat themselves plain and simple.

If you think this is all on Varmarlov you are simply wrong 1 goal was a breakaway 1 goal was a 2 on 1 was right on the doorstep and 1 was a deflection.

How about not letting any of that happen....start playing more physical in front dont make bad pinches and stop turning the puck over in the neutral zone

Perhaps the only goal where Varlamov was weak was Van Riemsdyk's goal, a long, angled shot. The rest was not his fault. The first goal is Lee's fault, the 3rd, Pulock missed his cover, the 4th, Toews, after juggling the puck, let Laughton go alone (instead of hooking him even if it means taking a penalty). And the goal in OT is sheer bad luck.

Boychuk and Greiss have to be in on Saturday.

 

[19 in a row]

watching highlights and I said it earlier but it was so eerie how similar that tip try on the rush by Barzal looked so much like the Nystrom goal.. that was the moment. Hart just was too good when they needed it.

 

[Tres Peleches]

The only Flyer I will give props to is Hart. He is a gem. The rest of them are whiny bitches who get carried by stellar goaltending and a strong ability to deflect pucks

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

Second time I've seen Varly give up a goal by picking the wrong time to try to clear the crease.

Now we really get to see what Trotz is made of.

Just a Monday Morning QB, but I don't see how you don't do this ...

• Greiss in, Varlamov Out
• Boychuk in, Mayfield Out

Eberle was awful, he only skated when he smelled opportunity, that was largely created by his line mates. He didn't move his legs on 50/50 pucks , didn't support Barzal when he was absolutely everywhere digging away, Eberle is within arms reach, not lifting sticks, just watching.

Went to his backhand nearly every time when the memo on that move is out and Hart denied him every time. His effort was the worst of any forward and it's not even debatable. I genuinely loved what 11 of 12 forwards brought tonight, genuinely detested Eberle.

D was bad, Pelech and Greene stood out as the only positives, every other D was condemnable for a multitude of reasons.

He did miss the net a lot but he was active and the first line was really good on the whole. I get the anger because this was one of those snake bitten games but we out skated them and I feel ok going into the 7th game. I mean even Varly wasn't that bad tonight. This game was like an inverted version of game 4 where were not the better team. It happens, we'll be back!

 

[BMOK33]

I really believe Greiss will start on Saturday. It may backfire but I think it happens
