GDT: 4/14/18 - 3:00PM EDT - #2WC New Jersey VS #1AT Tampa Bay [ECQF GAME 2]

[Brie]

Come on, we're falling back now, time to get the puck into their zone and creat some chances.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Hedman is always like a head taller than everyone else out there.

Its what happens when one is playing hockey at 6'6

 

[Brie]

We're not creating as many chances as we should be.

Announcer: "And now Maroon moves it ahead with Wood"

I dunno bout you guys, but that is just TMI for me....

 

[Sky04]

Miller is hustling today

 

[Brie]

If they want to lie down and block shots infront of their goalie then make them feel what it's like to do it when we're out there.

 

[Brie]

We need Kuch to do Kuch things and he's not really doing it.

. Keep your mind on the ice!! LoL

 

[Stormbreaker]

6 shots on goal is not going to cut it

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Just need to keep fighting. They can only clog the back lines for so long

 

[Sky04]

We need Kuch to do Kuch things and he's not really doing it.

Him and Stamkos have been pretty ineffective, Kuch trying way too many cute plays

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

. Keep your mind on the ice!! LoL

Ummm...oh yea....you are right.

Go Bolts GOOOO!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

We had plenty of zone time, just not enough shots on net. Got to get more through.

 

[Master P]

Keep it up, they will get tired. Bolts have been in control. Plenty of chances, the goals will come.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Someone should check the switch. Might have been accidentally bumped off.

 

[Brie]

1st period is over.
We've played well but not as effective as we should. Point was awesome and so was the whole 2nd line. The 1st line needs to step it up, well, Miller have been great but Kuch and Stammer we need more from.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I thought we were the most dangerous team, we could use a bit of kuch magic though, just in case.

 

[Hint1k]

6 shots on goal is not going to cut it

another 6 were blocked

 

[DaBolts]

When is Coop putting the real 1st line out there?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

1-1 after one.... well, look, I would have liked a 1-0 or 2-0 lead after one as much as the next person, but the Bolts are still playing well, still with the same intensity and execution that got them the Game 1 win, so I am not gonna gripe too much about a tie score.

One really can't expect the Devils to go away quietly...they are gonna make a game of this.
Bolts just need to remind themselves they are the team to beat here, not NJ.

Looking forward to more from the Point-Palat-Johnson line.... and if Stammer and his line can wake up a bit, Bolts should cruise.

Kudos to the defense and Vasilevskiy...overall, they are doing their jobs.

 

[DFC]

Feels like we had a lot of shot attempts. We're not getting anything through. It's a haze of bodies in front of the net right now. Doesn't help that our entire D core loves to shoot wide.

 

[Matt Watson]

Early observations:

I wonder how many more goals and assists Hedman would have every year if he wasn't trying to pick corners all the time? Just put the f**king thing on net!

We know that Stammer isn't 100%, but something isn't right with Kuch either.

Point is good.

 

[These Are The Days]

That was a good period overall. The icing screwed everything up and gave New Jersey their goal. The Devils were otherwise scrambling at warp speed almost the entire time. I'll take the tie right now

Namely Hedman. Seems like it either goes in or goes wide with him without much in between during some stretches

Don't forget JT Miller.

Even though his line is being stymied right now, he is very visible (in a good way), and if there is any justice with the hockey gods, he or one of his linemates will be rewarded soon.
