GDT: 1/5/19 - 11:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ San Jose

[Steazy Doo]

It's just that you never really notice a guy like Rielly. Or even Letang or Giordano. I noticed Karlsson like every shift this game because he was beating our behinds so hard.

Yes, our behinds should be sore after that beating. (censored for Dom)

 

[BeingTheThunder]

1. Vasy was horrible
2. McDonagh was horrible and probably should be cycled out for a night off...he's had a run of bad games lately
3. Effort was piss-poor until we went down by 3
4. Palat is hot garbage offensively right now and should probably sit one out too
5. Not real impressed by Burns or Karlsson. What does Burns do besides stand at the blue line and shoot all game long? If Heddy did that, he would be a 30 goal scorer..

 

[Steazy Doo]

Also stop playing Drouin with Boyle so much.

My bad forgot that this is a christian website.

 

[Rschmitz]

Someone should go make a thread in the main boards about it. "Lightning lose. End of a dynasty?"

 

[JoVel]

Team is .500 in 2019

BLOW IT UP.

Well we'd end up with 52 wins if we go .500 the rest of the way so it wouldn't be too bad.

Hf and christianmingle are the last frontiers of decent internet

 

[LightningStrikes]

Was bound to happen. Better take the L in the West than the East.

 

[ColbyT91]

Fire Sustr Bench Cooper Trade Stamkos

 

[PatrikBerglund]

1. Not real impressed by Karlsson.

He was matched against Kucherov's line and totally shut them down. Kucherov had zero points, zero shots and was -4.

Karlsson played over 29 minutes, had 2 points and was +2 .

If this does not impress you, I'm not sure what does.

 

[Sky04]

How does Palat look so bad in the top-6 of a stacked offensive team, when he's cold he's awful.

 

[The Macho King]

That was a rough one. I don't understand the logic of starting Vasi so much when we're 10 points up on second place.

 

[Hoek]

Me neither. Domingue should've gotten the Kings game. Or this one.

 

[DaBolts]

1. Fire Cooper
2. Trade Kuch and Stamkos for the piss poor effort.
3. Send McDonough and Stralman back to Syracuse for slacking
4. Bust up the lines
5. Tank for Hughes

Hey everyone I couldn’t catch that game last night. Maybe the loss is my fault...‍

Who sat out on Defense?

Coburn.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Coburn.

Hire Coburn!

Wow, someone actually did make a main board thread on us losing.

EK was really good tonight.

Kuch on the other hand had an off-night. Part of that is because of EK but he just looked off from the first shift.

Playing against great opponents makes you look and feel off.

I can draw from my own experience in semi-pro sports (soccer). If you went up against someone really skilled, everything I usually would do to dominate, would not work and frustration would set in - which made me perform even worse.

His D is bad but his passing and vision is second to none. The guy is a monster on the rush too. You do realize he has 7 goals right ? And is 4th in assists of ALL players?

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Went to the game last night…..

1. Lightning Defense were making bad passes and mistakes in the defensive zone, especially Hedman and Mcdonough.
2. Stamkos was invisible.
The Sharks were all over Point, Kuch, and TJ.
3. Ceddy'd line played well and should have gotten more minutes. You have to play physical against SJ's defense.
4. This is the 2nd time I have brought a sign written in Russian for Kucherov and they have lost…….that sucks.
5. Sergachev had a good game.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Sergachev was goalless during the streak.
He scores and we lose.
Coincidence? I don’t think so.

So no more scoring for him.

 

[DFC]

Gotta figure out a way to get Vasy back to form. We're kind of seeing a repeat of last year with him. Hasn't been overly sharp since the Toronto game.

Rest him a couple games. But Coop will Coop and play him the next 20 games in a row
