[RussianGuyovich]

Love pissed off kuch

 

[Master P]

Is the sky falling yet guys?

 

[Antiramie]

Lol we’re just going full shit heel now.

 

[JFleegs]

Kuch being a hot head again

I can’t blame him that call at that point if they are going to call anything it was embellishment by that pansy aho

 

[Lightning1995]

Theres no way that’s a penalty on Kuch

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Please put all refs in your nearest trash bin on the way out.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Only guarantees in life:

1) Play like shit for a long time.
2) Refs swinging the game
3) Taxes
4) Death

 

[JTBF81]

Another pathetic effort. Even 2 hard working periods with some disciplined hockey, and Tampa gets at least a point, maybe 2. Instead, they play maybe one, again and overall get beaten when facing a contender again.

 

[Antiramie]

If only we gave a shit for the other 59 minutes.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

It’s not just an embellishment. Aho purposefully ran into kuch for the pick, to ensure his player would get out of the zone. It was a designed play. Should have been interference on Carolina. Kootchie should be pissed.

 

[Fabiobest]

Right now, we're as bad as the zebras.

 

[StammerHammer]

Next Tuesday’s game should be fun.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Lightning have been very inconsistent, don't want them to go without blame, but they've only allowed 3 even strength goals in the last 4 games. Teams who do that should go 4-0-0.

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

So, our wins in the last 2 months consist of:

San Jose x2
New Jersey x2
Arizona
Edmonton
Nashville
Ottawa
Detroit
Chicago
Vancouver
Seattle

That is 2 wins against teams currently in a playoff spot. In 2 months.

Tough, next game against the Bruins, have to show up for that one

2 PP tips against. We hit two posts that beat the goalie. And we played like shit. We will benefit from playoff refs.

 

[Antiramie]

We’re def getting the shit end of the stick with some calls but the worse team that’s not hustling rarely gets the benefit of the doubt.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Losses are concerning but it's still reg season. Just be healthy going in yada yada but it wouldn't hurt to get some consistency going a little bit too.

Cannot stand that soft , whiny team. 100% interference on Kucherov but Carolina flops more than any team I have ever seen. Then you have clowns like DeAngelo and now Domi. Aho, Svechnikov and Necas will take a dive at every opportunity. Then there's the sassy, self-righteous social media/marketing presence.

Unfortunately they are a damn good team, well coached and deserved the win tonight. 2 PP goals will sink you almost every time. Star players didn't bring it tonight and Kucherov unravelled over the course of he game, bad recipe.

 

[The Gongshow]

Tough, next game against the Bruins, have to show up for that one

We are 100% losing to the Bruins and dropping to the WC spot come Thursday

 

[Antiramie]

Maybe I need to see the replay again, but I also think that was interference. They were breaking out of the zone and Kuch stood Aho up.

?

Not when the PK is a as bad as it is. Opposing PPs are part of the game. You want to blame the refs, fine, knock yourself out, but our kill has been shit all season for the most part. And that's pre and post Cooper ref rant.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Maybe I need to see the replay again, but I also think that was interference. They were breaking out of the zone and Kuch stood Aho up.

?

Kuch was headed towards the puck carrier. Why would aho, who is ostensibly attempting to exit the zone, head straight for one of the opposing players in the point? Oh, right, it’s a pick play and the puck carrier goes around. It’s just salt in a wound that we get called.

It's been a thing all year though, Tampa has done quite well against non-playoff and fringe teams this year, but against the more serious contenders, below .500 overall.
