Now that that's over, lets talk about our SOG

 

[DFC]

Can we get a shot on goal?

We seem to be better the fewer players we have on the ice. So maybe if we take two penalties...

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Woo no shots (on goal)!!!

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

Can't believe we have 0 shots...

 

[snowden]

Gonna be a long night

 

[DFC]

I think Cooper needs to think about juggling the top two lines. Our depth players look good, everyone's playing well defensively, but the scoring lines (particularly 12/91/26) can't get anything going.

 

[Felonious Python]

good job not taking a PP that period.

 

[AllAbout813]

Sustr. What a pick up that guy was. He looks legit forreals.

 

[DFC]

Gonna be a long night

Anybody else hear this like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh?

I have come to realize, that as a Lightning fan, our team only has two of the following at all times, never all 3.

Defense
Offense
Goaltending

We looked good in first period. Sure, we didn't get any shots on goal and that needs to change but it's not like Hawks had too many quality chances either.

The Lightning PP is the strongest argument yet against diving/embellishment.

 

[The Yzerplan]

Solid period defensively for us.

This was my take. It was a weird period. I'd say the Hawks had a slight advantage overall, and more of their shots got through. And their top line is outplaying our top line. But if you think about this as the NHL's best team, we did pretty well. Just a kind of bland period.

Nice, composed stuff from Bishop too.

Should have played Bishop in game 1.

 

[Steve Yzerman]

Great period defensively. Bishop is playing great. We need to get the offense going.

Ohhh-kayyy

 

[DFC]

I'd really like to see Panik on the top line. Possibly even Killorn. Maybe even Labrie.

Team is playing a good responsible game, but they need to spark Stamkos and St. Louis.

I was actually thinking that. Labrie actually has some jump. Malone is just done, in my opinion.

I'm not willing to write him off as a player. But I don't have any hope he'll be effective on a top scoring line.

 

[Ricebox]

there we go, let the carnage begin

 

[DFC]

Okay, the top line needs to be blown up. That's just not working.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

Not much Bishop could have done there except hug the post but I think he thought the puck kicked out into the centre.

 

[DFC]

Nate thompson shot the puck!!!

 

[snowden]

Take 3 shots from the same spot, 1 is gonna go in.

And yes, can we please take Malone off that top line? We need someone that's gonna be a puck hound to feed Stamkos and Marty. Malone does nothing.
