GDT: 12/20/18 - 9:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Calgary

[Hint1k]

Well, I really like "taking care of business", but not today.

 

[Powerplay17]

Pure domination by Calgary.

 

[The Macho King]

They're running riot against Coburn and Girardi.

Yeah maybe that pairing is better in theory than in practice.

 

[Stammertime91]

Yeah maybe that pairing is better in theory than in practice.

Seems like they're out there every time we get hemmed in. They put G with Hedman now.

 

[Master P]

One team is playing like they got shutout in their last game while the other is treating this like a game in december.

 

[T REX]

Just awful hockey

 

[Master P]

I for one can't wait for the hot takes.

 

[Hoek]

I for one can't wait for the hot takes.

Flames are world beaters!! Yeah Domingue is a backup but he has as many wins as Vasi which means they beat the Lightning even though they had a top notch goalie between the pipes!

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Had to break the Hedman/Strålman pair up once again to try and salvage the play of Coburn and Girardi.

 

[rangerrat]

We can't continue to get out shot and out chanced for goals and expect to win, We must generate more offence, more O time in their zone!!

 

[JDBolt]

Miller's confidence got the better of him there..

 

[Master P]

Games like this happen. Oh and fyi, there will be more games like this before the season is over. Just a heads up lol Just part of hockey.

 

[JoVel]

Did Miller not realize that the other D wasn't there or is he just really dumb?

 

[Lightning1995]

I really liked what Cooper did with the lines. But tonight we learned Stammer really needs Yanni to compete defensively.

Now these lines are Cooper gone wild.

 

[JDBolt]

Did Miller not realize that the other D wasn't there or is he just really dumb?

Yeah, major whiff there..

 

[DFC]

Still expecting our goal to get switched to Point. The overhead showed Palat didn't get a touch.

I like the new lines. I like Johnson as a 3C.

Nobody had a good period, but particularly bad were Miller and Domingue. With Domingue, his inability to settle pucks down kept us hemmed in through much of the middle portion of the period.

 

[Fabiobest]

1 point would be super appreciated tonight...

 

[BeingTheThunder]

Someone came into this one juuuuust a bit overconfident. Time to get in the dressing room and regroup.

**EDIT - We've been down by 2 and more to come back and win way too often this season to be worried after one period. I am betting we re-group and come back and get two points anyway (how's that for over-confident?)

 

[The Macho King]

Yeah - we're a lock for the playoffs and a high seed. I enjoy watching us play well and win, but I'm way done getting up and down after regular season games.

This team's test is in the playoffs.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

If we do lose, I'll just consider this as an attempt to avoid the President's Trophy curse.

 

[The Macho King]

Seriously how the f*** did they decide to put Andreychuk there. What happened to Dingman? He was fine. Andreychuk is garbage.

 

[Fabiobest]

Games like this happen. Oh and fyi, there will be more games like this before the season is over. Just a heads up lol Just part of hockey.

In particular because we're 9-0-1 in the last 10, it's normal that the team, for one night, loses the concentration.
Against an hot team like Flames are, of course, a lose can arrive without any problem.

Of course, I hope they'll comeback in the second

yes indeed, just tuff to watch when we know how good this team can be, Glad the wife put the forks away!! My eyesssss! LoL

 

[BeingTheThunder]

Paul Kennedy : "How do you come back against the Flames"?
Andreychuk: "Well you gotta have the puck a little bit more"... lol this guy is a hockey genius.

He loves to hockey...will you teach him to hockey?
