Tampa, FL.
While there were some good things offensively, and Vasy played well given they hung him out to dry yet again, the defense is nowhere near good enough. That is now 25 out of 40 games where they have allowed 3 or more, and 13 giving up 4 or more. Need to add 1 more dman and at least 1 more solid bottom 6 defensive forward. 2 points is great, but many things need to be improved, and they are basically at the halfway point, so improvement with overall team defense needs to start soon.

This team plays exactly like my beer league team. Last night we went up against a team with 1 sub, had a 5-2 lead with 10 minutes left. We absolutely f***ed around, defensemen pinching, forwards leaving the zone early, I even took a completely undisciplined slashing penalty with 2 minutes left. We barely hung on to a 5-4 win.

I dont think games like this are indicative of how we will play when it counts. This is pretty much what we've done for 3 years in the regular season.
The best part of the team basically choosing to forgo any defense and instead just lob meatballs at stamkos to get him his 500th at home is that it gave Canucks fans the impression that they were in the game at all and that the punch ruined their chances at a comeback.
