[The Gongshow]

Thats all folks

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Gotta score shorthanded to tie and our best shorthanded guy is in the box

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

I'm calling it right now that, if they kill this penalty, they tie the game.

Well, it was worth a try.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Too bad we don’t have a mobile defenseman

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Gotta be aggressive

 

[Rschmitz]

I'm really pissed at Stamkos right now.

That was not the captain like move

 

[JFleegs]

Wow one of the most frustrating games of the e year. f*** those Refs

 

[The Gongshow]

f***ing pathetic

 

[Powerplay17]

That sucked. Got out muscled and out goalied.

 

[The Gongshow]

Those refs can kick f***ing rocks. They lost control of that period. My lord.

 

[Antiramie]

Well that was a soft ass showing against a team that cheap shotted them all game.

 

[bigdaddio]

Playing an aggressive man defense is helpful when the refs refuse to call interference.

 

[The Gongshow]

Frustrating game to watch, for sure

 

[Hoek]

Brutal officiating. Where's the game management when it should be in our favor? Several egregious penalties committed that could've evened up the game but the refs decided not to do what they usually do for some reason

 

[AndreRoy]

Goddamn refs screw us yet again.

 

[Master P]

The no call on the trip against Point stands out as well.

 

[Stammertime91]

A couple missed calls but the boys definitely looked for the Callahans out there.

Hedman with some shit plays tonight.

 

[The Gongshow]

Yet another game from the passenger scrubs JBB signed. He wanted more grit and they got pushed around and cheap shot all game and didn't respond. You don't take stupid penalties but you fire up the crowd and the rest of the lines.

JBB has really exposed himself after riding the roster till the wheels fell off of the success Yzerman set up

 

[These Are The Days]

I am absolutely pissed at Stamkos. I got to peak at the game here and there on a stream and we are this lifeless heap every time I watch and then he goes and does the dumbest thing he could possibly do. Dude get your team together. We have enough problems as it is without you taking your worst penalty of the season

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

So many high scoring chances and we couldn’t get anything to go in.

As I said before, not a terrible game for the Bolts but they need points and they walk away with zero tonight. Maybe on another day some of those bounces break our way, but this was a frustrating game

 

[Major4Boarding]

That sucked. Got out muscled and out goalied.

Absolutely

 

[Stammertime91]

Blame Stamkos and rightfully so because the timing was ass but that boils over because of missed calls. I expect better from him. I also expect Jeannot to do something in a game like this but he f***ing wilts when we need strength. Dude didn't do dick with Mikkola and Bennett running free all game.

Bobrovsky came up with two very good saves that kept their lead in tact. Vasy needs to get that third one but that was the most Vasy-like game in a while imo. He actually came up huge other than that third. Not good enough is the issue.

Defense is f***ing pathetic.

 

[Antiramie]

We definitely look like little brother in this relationship now. From our shitty responses to the refs not giving a shit.

 

[These Are The Days]

I'm not blaming the refs for this. The Lightning are the most emotional team in the league and they thrive on it. They have been for years. But they've spent weeks just packing it in and going through the motions any time they have a lead. Where is this when you're being hit back? And they've either forgotten who they are or are just complacent. I am **PISSED** at Stamkos right now. Get your team's shit together.

Its not the end of the world that they lost but the lack of composure is painfully telling

 

[Bartleby]

When they do the 10 Worst plays of the NHL season the Hedman/Vasy disaster on the Reinhart shorty has to be on it or it won't be a valid list. A disgraceful lack of effort from both.
