GDT: 10/6/18 - 7:00PM EDT - Florida vs Tampa Bay

[Maelmoor]

Boy that's pretty awful way to start the season. I'll give em that period and call it nerves, but 16 shots against with pretty poor effort sure seems a lot like last season.

In our 113 point season? Yes it was a bad period but let us not overreact after one period out of 246

 

[These Are The Days]

I'm going to be Polly Positive and say they're getting their legs under them and we're going to get much better effort rest of the game

 

[The Macho King]

So yeah I should never have put on that Hedman jersey...

Also - f***ing lol at Paquette not even lasting a period before he got hurt.

 

[ccman68]

Reminds me of when Kucherov was only scoring at a 90 point pace in the second half last season and everyone blamed it on effort. Good times.

We seriously need to just move on from him

 

[DFC]

It's not about effort. Something's been systematically wrong for years. But let's not do the thing where we take a single period and use it to project gloom and doom for the rest of time.

 

[Hoek]

Paquette is f***ing cursed.

Fire Cooper.

 

[DaBolts]

OK, I just took off my UM jersey and put on the Serge jersey. Time to score 5 this period. Come on guys, crank it up!

 

[The Macho King]

Also - god damn I love Trochek. Such a good player.

 

[DFC]

Buff just got kicked out. Looks suspension-worthy, even though I don't think he purposely meant to toss the guy into the boards like a ragdoll. Too strong for his own good.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

I was tired of Paquette before last season.

 

[Fabiobest]

Hi everyone! How are you?
I hope everyone of you is good.
Let's go Bolts despite the first period. I've not seen it so I suppose Tampa has not played good...

 

[Lightning1995]

We suck?

 

[God King Fudge]

In our 113 point season? Yes it was a bad period but let us not overreact after one period out of 246

Good thing I'm not since I said I'll give them that period and call it nerves. Ive told myself I'm not going to debate all season with the "we're gonna get in the playoffs anyway so who cares" folks, so enjoy your evening.

 

[Brie]

Let's pick things up. This first shift was already a better effort than anything we did in the first period.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Our passing sucks atm.

 

[Fabiobest]

WTF...only 4 shots in the first...against their 16's shots...

 

[Brie]

I wouldn't hate seeing Kuch on a line with Point as the center for a bit...which makes me sad to say since this is only game 1.

 

[DFC]

Kuch and Stamkos need to be split up. It might have run its course at ES.

 

[Brie]

And PK, not really what we needed.

 

[dechire]

Paquette is back(to be injured again)

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Who is 21 on Florida? That carry in was really good.

 

[These Are The Days]

Kuch and Stamkos need to be split up. It might have run its course at ES.

You can say that again

 

[Master P]

I'm liking this penalty kill

 

[Stormbreaker]

Joseph already making an impact.
