GDT: 3/9/13 - 7:00PM EDT - Montréal VS Tampa Bay

[Darth Corgi]

Crap. Total crap.

 

[Mantha Poodoo]

I'm convinced a bunch of NHL coaches were abducted by aliens and experimented upon during the lockout. Ruff actually managed to get himself fired from Buffalo, Babcock playing Datsyuk between Abdelkader and Cleary, and I just have no idea what Boucher is doing.

 

[zeykshade]

It was. And get used to it with them in our division next year. All the ******** STMs that sell their tickets to away fans or worse even, become the away fan. It's a joke.

Can't wait for Detroit 4 times next season.

With this on-ice product, can you blame the STMs? I can't.

 

[CanadienKid25]

We don't know.

oh...thought it might have been something that was easy to see....btw, go Klinkhammer is sitting with his first NHL goal tonight I believe, and a GWG at the moment

 

[Amadeus]

If there is one team in the league who I'm baffled hasn't performed, despite the talent on the roster, it's Tampa Bay.

Porous D and G will do that to you. Steve Yzerman needs to acquire a capable starting goalie.

Name one that won't cost Luongo or Schneider asking price or have BobbyLou's Pejorative Slured ****ing contract.

Luongo and Schneider haven't been playing like #1's either...

If they came into this game on a winning streak, during a winning season, 90% of the posts would probably be about how the entire nature of that game changed on Montreal's 2nd goal (a whistle which, even if the puck did pop out for a split second, they blow every game). Instead, defeatist attitudes and calling out the team for bad play everywhere.

Oh, surely, there was some awful play - especially in the third. But the ice was tilted after that goal happened. Otherwise, it's a successful PK, and the momentum is still with the Lightning. The entire nature of the game changed due to a more-than-questionable call, and I feel just as often as the team has played badly this season, they've equally been hosed by officiating (I know I don't have to mention that first game vs the Devils, but that was far from the only instance).

 

[Kristia]

This team ....I just can't..

 

[The Macho King]

Also, I'm over it. Fire Boucher. Bring in Cooper.

One of us. One of us. Gooble Gobble Gooble Gobble

The problem is that we've consistently only played 20-40 mins of hockey a night. In the 20-40 mins we take off, we pay the price for doing so.

Wow, did you get a hold of Guy's water bottle? The team didn't deserve this win at all. Don't sugar coat it. Don't look for blame elsewhere.

Maybe SFY will give Emery a contract or something.

 

[Tampacuseforever]

As soon as you think they've put it together, this is what they come out with. Damn shame. Fans are too accepting of this.

They did seem to be putting it together, and once again Boucher over coaches and messes up the lines. I actually am starting to feel sorry for the players. Why was Palat and Conacher benched ??? Both have been playing well ? Croombeen gets more ice time than them ? THE COACH IS THE PROBLEM THIS TEAM HAS TOO MUCH SKILL FOR THIS !!!!

 

[The Wyzerhood]

So can anyone answer my question? Why haven't Gudas or Barberio been called up yet?

 

[snowden]

Don't know how the fans in attendance are not booing the living **** out of this team.

Half of them were Montreal fans, that's why.

 

[IdealisticSniper]

With this on-ice product, can you blame the STMs? I can't.

As one myself. I absolutely can. It's inexcusable.

That's some ********. Sorry, we've fallen victim to some bad officiating, but to say that is in anyway the reason for our ****** ****ing play is pure homerism. Look at the on-ice product. We've outshot our opposition what, three times all ****ing season? Officials aren't out there blocking shots and preventing us from getting in the zone and preventing us from clearing the puck. We suck. Learn to live with it.

I'd agree with you if this wasn't a night in, not out thing this season.

 

[Coopers Gum]

**** yeah! You brightened my day

I don't even know who he plays for anymore. Is it still the Sens? Ha

 

[Tampacuseforever]

I'm convinced a bunch of NHL coaches were abducted by aliens and experimented upon during the lockout. Ruff actually managed to get himself fired from Buffalo, Babcock playing Datsyuk between Abdelkader and Cleary, and I just have no idea what Boucher is doing.

You just have a higher tolerance for sand in your eyeballs is all. =p

Oh? There was a much different tune being sung after the first 40.

I'm totally with the people saying you can't win just playing half or two-thirds of the game, but I also think it's absolute nonsense to go without mentioning how drastically the flow of the game changed after that goal. That's turning on the hate a bit too strong for my tastes.

If it happened one or two games, you'd be right. This **** happens every damn night now. Also, if one bad no call goes against you and you fold up your tent and go home, **** it, you don't deserve to be watched or have people buy tickets.
