GDT: 4/11/13 - 7:30PM EDT - Pittsburgh vs Tampa Bay

[Lecavilier_4]

So we've changed the owner, general manager, coach, parts of the coaching staff, goalie, defensemen, and forwards.

Time to change the captain? Something? What can be done at this point? Give Cooper two more years and hope?

This season was lost before the coaching change. The best thing we can hope is that over the summer and into training camp that Cooper can give this team a culture and an identity. We need to play a better defensive game and need goaltending to play consistently every night. There is a road to go yet, but this team had enough talent to make the playoffs this year and they fell far short.

This is where I stopped reading. I'm loving this reputation the Bolts and particularly Stamkos have as divers now.

Where did i say the bolts dive?
Where did i say stamkos dives?

He buys calls.
Dont like it?
deal with it, it called being a pro.
Start reading the comments, taking a second and lets those hamster run in your head.
And then come back here and type something thats not nonsense.

You should probably start heeding to your own advice then.

Well you should watch a few atlantic games.
You can say they buy some, but so does everybody (Stamkos is amazing at it)
But the whole League makes certain teams win thing is pathetic.
Stamkos is a top 3 player in the league, no excuse.
All the Bolts fans are saying they played bad.
No way the PENS beat them even when they have a bad game unless the refs give it to them huh?

Are you actually a TBL fan? If not, get out and stop stirring up crap. Take this as a gentle warning.

I think you need to take your own advice, because I have no idea what the hell the difference is between "buying" calls and diving.

 

[The Wyzerhood]

Maybe read the comment i quoted?
maybe?

Again, nowhere does my comment say the refs are giving games to the Pens.

Back to the game for a sec, I turned it off early in the third. It was tough to take. I can diagnose our problems one at a time but... the larger picture has to be a significant change somewhere. Whether it's in the system, roster etc, we apparently need more than a mere coaching change.

Get Stamkos a center who can carry the puck, because Stamkos sucks so much dick this year. He's playing like he has no confidence.

Just add him to the ignore list and move on. Click on his name and it's one of the options in the dropdown menu.

Thanks, had to switch to desktop mode on the phone to do it.

I forget who I'm quoting, but "we're an excitable bunch".

 

[TBLHoser]

Well, first move will be to not resign Lacroix and bring in Samuellsson to coach defense. I'd imagine Jean will also be out. We need a better defensive system and Samuellsson is probably Cooper's kind of coach.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Quoteception.

I think that was me. Was it from a while back?

EDIT: Actually, I think I said we're a hostile bunch to newcomers. With different ideas.

 

[The Macho King]

So I missed the game due to having other plans...

Did I miss anything?

We were awful, Bishop let in a couple softies and no one showed up. Oh and the calls were also in favor of the Pens, as usual.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Sorry folks. Doing some cleaning up.

Quoteception.

I'm not saying you're a bad person. Just that you're wrong.

Cooper's pack mentality is clearing rubbing off onto us

Thanks bub, much appreciated.

Have to admit, I didn't watch it....can't stand the NBC announcers. Figured I'd watch it later with the sound off if we won but guess I have some free time now to watch something else.

So how many times did they mention Cindy Crosby tonight?

Not really. The usual.

Too many. Every at least five minutes we heard how Crosby, Neal, Martin, and I think some other guy were out, and how good it was to have Letang back. I'm not exaggerating I don't think either. And how awesome the Pens were. They'd talk the whole intermission about a Pens goal, and then at the end be like, oh, the Bolts scored too. Commercial time! So, you know, the usual.

Night = made.

That's what I figured. Too bad there isn't a vomit emoticon.

 

[The Wyzerhood]

I know I asked for Stamkos to improve on winning draws, but it seems as though he's over emphasized that in practice and has forgotten about improving all other aspects of his game

67% on the draw tonight.
