GDT: 11/3/22 - 7:00PM EDT - Carolina vs Tampa Bay

[DMB06]

A little surprised we didn't see Vladdy in the SO.

Vasy's best game of the young season. Not much more he could have done

Especially over Hagel who is one of the worst finishers on the team. Strange decision.

 

[Stammertime91]

Given we managed 3 out of 4 points the last two games, we are fortunate. Could have ended with 0.

Point looked incredibly disengaged tonight. Like, do some questioning. He's been off or quiet, this was just pitiful. Stupid drop passes, not paying attention to where he was at, just mailed it in imo.

 

[JTBF81]

This team sucks, you can’t give up 60 shots and expect to win, trash shootout attempts.

Agreed, even in the shootout most of their shots made Vasy work, while all but one or two of Tampa's were predictable and half assed

Perry's looked like a men's C league attempt trying his best in front of his kids after 40hrs at the mill

 

[Lightning1995]

Vassy has contacted his attorney to sue for a lack of support.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Team let vasi down in this one.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Over 29 minutes of ice time for Sergachev tonight

 

[Master P]

I said it before. The fatigue of 3 straight finals may finally be catching up with the team. And not just physical. Mental too.

In case you're right...is it better to tank for real?
Because if I had to lose, it'd be better to lose for real, to gain something important for our future...

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Shot disparity be damned, we had the lead in the 3rd period. A shorthanded goal against with 6 1/2 minutes left, and then giving them a PP in OT are 2 things that just can't happen.

 

[Bartleby]

Getting our heads handed to us was almost worth it to see vintage Vasy. Almost.

First really dominant, point-stealing performance in quite some.

 

[Master P]

Starting to feel like the Bolts have got their very own byron Leftwich in charge of the PP.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Ya'll are crazy, you got used to years of watching this team with Hedman and McDonagh and now one is injured and the other is in Nashville and its "fatigue" and the finals. This team? It ain't that great without Hedman right now.

 

[Bartleby]

I know who Byron Leftwich is and I know his playing history but I'm not getting the reference here?

 

[Stammertime91]

Stamkos scored in 5 straight.
Stamkos scoreless in 5 straight.

As much as we love his one timers, you'd think the PP with Kucherov and Point on it, would try SOMETHING different. I actually think Sergachev has been fine running it but blows at zone entries, setting up the entry. At least he's been shooting it. Special teams cost us tonight even with that shot difference.

I know who Byron Leftwich is and I know his playing history but I'm not getting the reference here?

Great players, no gameplan. Whoever is in charge of the PP looks equivalent of having Brady as QB and not being able to get a first down.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

 

[Stammertime91]

No Hedman.
No Paul.
Cirelli and Bogo still out.


This is fine.

 

[DFC]

The defense without Hedman is terrible, and it didn't help that the best defensive forward turned the puck over all night. Not that he was the only one.

I don't think games in October can tell us a whole lot no matter what happens. Except I guess that this defense is putrid without Hedman.

 

[Hoek]

A bit crazy to say with the shot totals (though Carolina are the kings of empty calories): We should've won that game. We had a lead and a power play with a little over 6 mins left and blew it with another dumbass shorthanded goal allowed.

I know who Byron Leftwich is and I know his playing history but I'm not getting the reference here?

He's offensive coordinator for the Bucs right now and his offense is insanely predictable and lackluster.

 

[Sky04]

Didn't catch the game but looks like Killorn has 4 points in his last 3 which is 2nd only to Point/Kucherov, don't think it's a coincidence they all linked up on that 3rd goal. Killorn-Point-Kucherov for next game Coop.

Byron Leftwich is the Bucs OC? I had no idea but, then again, I gave up on the NFL as legit sport years ago. They don't know what a catch is, you can't touch the QB, you can't defend a receiver, backs can't put their head down and the games are one long commercial regardless of whether you are at the stadium or watching at home. No offense, but the NFL is a joke.

 

[OffBy1]

I don't care that we didn't win, give the first, second and third stars of the game to Vasy. Take whatever stars the skaters have to this point and throw them in the garbage.

 

[Point21]

Vladdy played a very good game tonight, was all over the place and was making plays happen. Hagel was about to get boo'd out of Amalie with the amount of times he passed when he was wide open in the slot. The predictable PP makes things so frustrating to watch. all they do is drop it back to the dzone, rush up one of the boards and drop it at the blue line. I watched them get caught 3 times doing the same shit within 20 seconds of each other. Perbix was decent but noticed a few tough turnovers he had that led to some decent chances for the Canes

 

[Lightning1995]

Aho absolutely abused Brayden Point tonight. Perhaps he’s just better
