GDT: 10/12/19 - 4:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Ottawa

[Maelmoor]

Need to shoot more on the PP, Kuch has a great opportunity but passed instead

 

[Brie]

No shots on the PP, that's not going to cut it.

 

[The Macho King]

Kucherov is frustrating at times.

 

[Master P]

Team plays waaay too cute. Need to shoot the puck and go for rebounds. #FireCooper

 

[JoVel]

Our PP should really look better than this against the freaking Senators.

 

[Zwui21]

No shots in back to back PP. Jesus Christ guys, you didn't learn one thing from the Canes game, did ya?

 

[Todd1a]

What the heck is wrong with the power play 0-2 vs Ottawa?

 

[LightningStrikes]

Our PP recipe: Pass pass pass fumble repeat

 

[Master P]

I think our PP is really good when the other team's PK plays aggressive. They take themselves out of position and we capitalize. When they play passive then Tampa is just left passing the puck, everyone just stands still. Need people to move around and create chances.

I guess the Toronto game never happend

That's the mindset that leads it to looking like shit. Going for highlights instead of goals.

 

[Tamfastic]

McBackUp pretty solid so far!

 

[T REX]

Hot garbage

 

[The Macho King]

Lol we should be losing against a team that has more empty seats than filled seats.

 

[Zwui21]

Our 5v5 play REALLY worries me. We are not able to generate chances

 

[Todd1a]

McBackUp pretty solid so far!

I
Think I’ve figured this out they play like garbage vs Mac is what it is 1-0 incoming

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

hide behind the ref when Cernak comes looking

 

[Brie]

PK time. Let's see how this goes.

 

[Todd1a]

Don’t worry cooper is a great coach I’m sure he will adjust

 

[LightningStrikes]

If Ottawa were any better we'd be down 0-2 at least. Lots of their shots from prime real estate going wide or hitting the post.

 

[Fabiobest]

1) Horrible PP tonight till now.
2) Kuch is playing not good
3) Fortunately McElhinney is good...

 

[ccman68]

Really sick of this narrative that we pass too much. The reason we have the best powerplay in the league is because we pass a lot and create open looks. Sometimes it doesn’t work but who gives a shit.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bolts still looking for that 4th dman to play on one of the pk units with Hedman, Cernak, and McD. That hole caused by the loss of Stralman and Girardi who played a majority of pk minutes the past 2 seasons.

 

[Master P]

Its the passing combined with NOT moving. On those power plays every one was just standing in one spot. Gotta have movement.

 

[Zwui21]

Also, I'm not sold on Verhaeghe yet. I've read many posts saying he's been good so far, but he's been mediocre at best IMO

It's early for sure, but he has to improve or he won't stay on the team much longer
