[TMLAM34]

Must win game. LFG!!!

 

[crump]

Maybe the coach can get his team ready to play this time.

 

[Dayjobdave]

The result of this game could be important to the outcome of the series.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Playing for keeps! Take no Prisoners. Play like Men.

Also:

 

[Nineteen67]

If Tampa wins, they win the series.

 

[The Management]

Sounds like Cernak is out, Eyssimont out, Hedman is to be decided.

 

[Notsince67]

Im guessing Kerfeet will score first just because my impression is that he will do nothing on the second line. That's the way he roles

 

[Nineteen67]

Maybe the coach can get his team ready to play this time.

On a Thursday night?

 

[Notsince67]

Sounds like Cernak is out, Eyssimont out, Hedman is to be decided.

Cernak's absence opens a lot of space for the M&M line

They shouldn’t be running from them anyways. M&M are top players in the world. Go get it done. Pulling the best players off the ice isn’t a great move tbh

 

[Nineteen67]

Tavares line will be on for at least 1 goal, probably 2

Is Jeannot in?

Is Jeannot in?

Likely. He has been practicing at full capacity.

Lineup in GDT is their projected lineup.

It did seem a bit silly. Team wasn't even warm and keefe was already injecting himself into the game.

 

[Nineteen67]

I predict another sluggish, low intensity game.

 

[LastOne2100]

Show up on time, play the top lines heavily to start, get the lead, keep the pressure on.

Don't start overthinking this again, Keefe, and put us on the back foot immediately defending.

Let your top players loose.

 

[Rude Dog]

We need a Lonny Bohonos / Steve Thomas performance from someone…anyone. Heading down to the game tonight. God help me. GLG

 

[TMLife17]

Likely. He has been practicing at full capacity.

Did you read anything about Cole? Was it just a maintenance day for him yesterday?

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Knies big chance.

Keefe was too dumb to put him in for his scoring touch.

 

[Dayjobdave]

We need good Sammy tonight.

 

[The Management]

I try to resist playing armchair coach, because what do I know? But I'd like to see them try:

-----------------

1. Jarnkrok - Matthews - Nylander

(three guys who can put the puck in the net, good chemistry, we know they work)

2. Knies - O'Reilly - Marner

(sized, skilled, responsible; insulates the rookie, gives him a vet and a great playmaker)

3. Kerfoot - Tavares - Acciari
(return jt to center, give him a lunchpail type of line, speed on the wing, they take it deep, jt brings up the middle parks in front of the net or in the slot)

4. ZAR - Kampf - Lafferty

(the "Leftovers" line; just hope for low-event hockey; nothing more to say, but it reminds me of the tv show and the lyrics from the intro sequence: "No one knows for certain and so it's all the same to me, I think I'll just let the mystery be.")

-----------------

I'm not sure what you do with the blueline, to be honest. Holl, Gio, Brodie all had bad games.

I do think going back to Samsonov is the right move.

 

[Peasy]

Just win

 

[Burnie97]

Just win

Was just going to say this... nothing else matters.

Just get it done.

 

[Altair]

Time for retribution! GLG

 

[HockeyVirus]

Maybe the coach can get his team ready to play this time.

How on earth is in the coach to have the team motivated for a playoff game on home ice? That is on the players who waited all year to prove something then played like that.

With that said, we got the yips out of the way in this series I am thinking we win the next 3 games straight
