Some lazy efforts on the goals against, this is a game that we should have won, anyway props to the Sens for sticking with it and winning it in the end.

Ok game, had tons of pressure but need to get a little dirtier around the net, and Hedman's inability to hit the net while being constantly fed off the point is why they can't hit those garbage goals.

Nowhere near as bad as other years, in the middle of the 3rd the annoucers said TB and already directed 80+ pucks towards Andersson. We had 48 shots on net tonight, again can't win em all but we're not losing because of a lack of structure or anything major.

1st line invisible again but whatever they can't be hot all season, Gourde's line needed to finish tonight they had a ton of zone time but all 3 missing golden chances.

Can't wait til that nearly 6 million is freed up from Callahan. What a piece of work that guy is.

Lmao Killorn too
It's so weird because Killorn is always hustling his ass off, but he can never pull the trigger on anything. I don't know what his deal is.

Weird game. We carried the bulk of the play but got burned on just about every mistake. Not a great game for Vasy, even if the loss itself wasn't his fault.

You can’t play both Dotchin and Serg in the playoffs. Can’t do it.

Hopefully this is just one of those games for Vassy. 6 Goals is a HUUUUUUUUUGE number,

The top line sucks donkey balls lately.

Not sure how the Dotchin and Brassard exchange ended up even. The ref wasn't gonna call anything until Brassard turned around and suckered him.

Not sure there's a count of such a stat but Hedman could have broken today the record for wide shots, I don't recall as many shots in a single game by a player going wide.

Serge gonna be better for playoffs. I’m not too concerned. I’d like to see koekkoek get more ice time so that he can be ready for playoffs in case of injury.

Kind of how I'm feeling lately about Dotchin. He's going to get burned so bad. In a series, if he's beaten in the first game, they'll adjust with Hedman and Stralman, then we will have a hole...or plug it with *shudders*...Sustr or Coburn...in the top 4.

I like what Dotchin brings to the team but he is not top 4 quality. Some nights he is but games like this where there's speed he looks like a glorified Witkowski next to Hedman.

Serg should be put on rotation with the Stamkos line - Kucherov LOVES feeding the point and Sergachev can actually hit the net. Look at how those kinds of shots can turn a game, Karlsson fired 2 for 2 on point and they resulted in goals in the span of what 3mins?

This, I think he gets away with some borderline plays that could easily be called with the way he keeps mouthing off refs he's going to get the team burned pretty soon.

Seriously palat has been real bad. And I like the guy.
He typically starts playing better in the second half, but he's been trending downward. Two guys on his line are buzzing, and he just isn't keeping up. Maybe try Killorn with Johnson and Point, and Palat down with Gourde.
