GDT: 3/20/18 - 7:30PM EDT - Toronto vs Tampa Bay

[DistantThunderRep]

1st round exit

Got to agree by the way this is going.

 

[These Are The Days]

lol Callahan gets mugged and it's 4 on 4

 

[RDTBay4]

These f***ing refs need to get the hell out of the way. Constantly setting picks.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Just lmao at “holding”

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

It would be great if they stopped looking second-rate to their top divisional rivals.

 

[RDTBay4]

f*** these refs

 

[T REX]

Just don't like the way they are playing right now.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I can understand the Kuch call. Looked worse than it was. The Callahan one is BS though.

 

[Fabiobest]

End of the first!
We know that playing against Toronto and Montreal is more difficult to play against other teams.
Cause also to the refs.
Btw, are there some positive guys...or there're only a "we'll lose, for sure, in the 1st round" guys...?

they look lost, no structure, this is on cooper

 

[LordZapp]

Maybe they are saving energy for the playoffs?

 

[DaBolts]

Sigh. I've seen the same game now for two weeks.

When they start to play well against the better teams...I'll be positive. How would you rate their effort vs Boston and this first period vs Toronto?

 

[gg720fla]

Until they decide to start hustling more and fore-checking like Toronto is doing, this is what you are going to get. Outshot as usual and looking like they can't get out of their own end. Ground hog day again.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

There is rumours of a “switch” that can be “flipped”

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Maybe trying new strategies to see how they work before the playoffs. Try to spot the holes in some of the new plays?

That is directly related to the current score and how many beers I've drank.

 

[Bolt 45]

Gotta hand it to Babcock. Dressing some of his guys up in stripes was pretty clever.

Against Boston we've played an awful game. No doubts about it.
But now, imho, we've to support the team, not saying they will lose soon.
Because we don't know how the future will be and also because we know that the PO are very different from the regular season.
After the PO, if Tampa will lose soon, we can discuss about it and, I think, Yzerman will solve the problems.
But now, we've not lost anything.

Is the switch in the little room on the right?

I've not drunk anything cause I'm on a diet

 

[These Are The Days]

I thought we played fine. You can't set a structure with all the damn interference these guys run. We'll get our chances

Gotcha. You're going with the "switch". Flip it!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Kill this penalty to start the 2nd and go from there!
