[ccman68]

What grade A opportunity? Look at more than the shot total. If anything, we've had the better chances.

All the times they've been wide open in front of our net?

 

[LonLon Lei]

My PC lost its voice again. I'll see you guys later when I figure this out.
hope the team will fix things up, too!

 

[The Macho King]

KK has no idea what he's doing out there man. Almost ran into McDonagh on the backcheck.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Hope Cernak is okay

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Is it me or everytime Kuch touches the puck, the play dies?

 

[The Macho King]

Hope Cernak is okay

Might have just stayed in because it was close to intermission.

Stamkos-itis

 

[DFC]

The thing about Domingue is, he'll make a bunch of nice saves, and then remind you why he's still a back-up.

 

[These Are The Days]

Thank God we do better in 2nd periods. Nashville is just sitting back cherry picking because the Lightning won't stop p***yfooting around and wont just dump and attack at full speed

Koekkoek has some decent offensive d-man instincts but there's just too many times where it looks he has no fricking clue what he's supposed to do or where he's supposed to be in the defensive zone. There's even an occasional 'deer in the headlights' look which is very disturbing.

 

[JoVel]

I hope the deal with Domingue lately is just that he can't handle the pressure of being a starter, which is a case for many backups when their starter gets injured. If Dom plays like this for longer he'll cost us points later even when Vasy gets back.

He was acting like he didn't know if he was LD or RD on that shift.

 

[These Are The Days]

What a **** goal. Wow.

Dom needs to have that. Just brutal.

Just deflated. That was a great PK and he can't stop a ****ing muffin.

Shades of Mike Smith right down to tilting over in disappointment

Indeed. Yet on the attack and in the offensive zone he is really underrated in instinct. If every little chance he made resulted in a goal KK would have probably 5 or 6 points

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Yeah. One would think that Mac would move to RD so Koekkoek wouldn't have to play his offhand but...

 

[The Macho King]

I mean - the position isn't set in stone. You have to make a read based on where you or your partner is on the ice. Maybe the read there was KK is going for a skate so I need to stay toward the center.

I don't know what you're watching? We were outplayed in every phase of the game that period.

They got a lot of shots. They won the possession battle. But it's not like they were getting a lot of chances. Our D did a great job of not giving away grade A chances.

I can think of a few grade As we gave up

Very true. We've seen d-men criss-cross the ice plenty of times regardless of what side they're technically playing. And Mac is talented enough to do whatever it takes to cover for his young partner. When he's not tackling Preds, that is.

Wasn't someone on these boards talking about how KK could possibly be a better forward than a defenseman?

I've been calling for that for a year.

Well, I'll give you this, you're definitely a "glass half-full" kind of guy. Still don't know what you were seeing though.

 

[The Macho King]

Point is fast.

 

[Hint1k]

I guess no hat-trick from Point today. Well, I am ok with only 2 goals then.

 

[The Macho King]

Kind of wish Cally would have shot low there. Wasn't goign to beat Pekka up high and with Point crashing better chance of a rebound going off the pads.

Still we have some great jump right now.
