GDT: 4/2/13 - 7:30PM EDT - Florida VS Tampa Bay

[zeykshade]

Why are these Pejorative Slurs shooting at his legs?!

 

[The Wyzerhood]

Mueller looks like such a dirt bag

 

[MattM92]

And there's a good goaltender stealing 2 points for his ****** team. Miller or bust.

 

[Cigar City]

Damn. Markstrom was ****ing good.

 

[zeykshade]

Fantastic. Blew a point to the worst team in the NHL. WTG. Solid non-**** goalie and we win that easy.

 

[dbieon12]

Purcell came in too straight.
Hedman came in too straight.
Stamkos came in too straight.

What the **** Cooper? Didn't practice shootout this morning?

 

[Butchered]

Damn shame. They deserved more from this. When you put up 40+ shots and only get 2, you're not gonna win.

 

[Bolts265]

Back to sucking in the shootout...sigh.

 

[The Wyzerhood]

Calling for the exact opposite of the last shootout, this time we don't score at all.

Pissed you were right

 

[Jacko95]

Those trys from Purcell and Hedman were dump, they should know how long his legs are and should try to should it high. Put one point is better than 0

 

[Coopers Gum]

How do you lose to the ****ing Florida Panthers?

 

[dbieon12]

Pissed you were right

Well, Huberdeau would have had to score to be the exact opposite.

Still impressed with every skaters play tonight. Team looks improved but these losses kill morale.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Great game.

Stamkos not scoring in the SO is as automatic as it gets.

 

[Bolts4Life91]

Well, Huberdeau would have had to score to be the exact opposite.

I was going for that but it ended up being worse than I predicted.

 

[Butchered]

How do you lose to the ****ing Florida Panthers?

You have suspect goaltending and defense and you're playing against a goalie capable of stealing a game. Simple as that.

Markstrom was out-****ing-standing. That game was out of hand fast without him. Garon was actually half way respectable but when he's fighting off every single minor shot put his way in the first frame, that's just setting off signals for the opposing team.

 

[adam graves]

How do you lose to the ****ing Florida Panthers?

By running into an incredibly hot goalie.

You guys have 10x our talent...hope you move on so i have a florida team to root for. Maybe next yr are youngns will make us good enough for a real intrastate rivalry.

Cheers.

 

[Steve Yzerman]

Markstrom played well and stole the 2 points. If they play like every game, they will win almost all of them. Future is bright folks.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Yup.

 

[The Macho King]

Can't get mad, really. Don't like either goal Garon gave up too much (especially not the second), but Markstrom was a ****ing wall. Only way we could beat him was getting really dirty goals. Props to him, I'm not looking forward to playing him for the next ten seasons.

 

[Cigar City]

Well... Back in Seth Jones territory.

 

[jg39]

At least we got a point...the list is too long regarding what I would give to see a Lightning goalie this season steal a game/have a shutout (in a full game...not in relief of a bad goalie)! Nice to hear the high of "highs and lows" in Purcell's game was on display tonight.

...

Has anyone watched the highlights from the Wsh-Car game tonight? MAB carried the puck in the zone on a PP, made an awful pass, and set up a 2on1 SHG for Wsh. He is exactly what we thought he is. He had an assist on a PP goal for them as well in the 1st, but I knew the Wsh SHG was coming before anyone else in Raleigh.


EDIT-"Relevant" stats from FL v. TB:

Faceoffs: 33-32 FL
Shots: 41-25 TB

 

[FDfranklin]

Just got back from the game, many of beers from the party deck. The Bolts played outstanding but not nearly as great as Markstrom did. It felt like the Bolts had the puck in their zone the entire game only to give up 2 realllly quick PP goals to the Panthers.

I had a very good vantage point of the game, club level front row directly behind the net, they played a hell of a game but were outdone by goaltending and poor PK. I hate to be bias because I have Teddy on my fantasy squad but from my POV he looked great and was easily the most noticeable player out there tonight.

Sustr did not look good however. I did not read through the last few pages to see if that was common consensus but he looked pretty bad, got stuck with the puck a lot when he should have sent it.

 

[snowden]

My bad guys. I went to the game drunk and didn't know what was going on the entire time. Didn't even know we went to a shootout. Blame me, not cooper.

 

[Felonious Python]

Why are these Pejorative Slurs shooting at his legs?!

Shooting at a tall goalie's legs is common practice. IDK if there's numbers to support it, but the logic for doing so is based on being able to get second chances, which by design the shootout does not allow.

Purcell came in too straight.
Hedman came in too straight.
Stamkos came in too straight.

What the **** Cooper? Didn't practice shootout this morning?

Cooper has indicated that he's not interested in overcoaching.

 

[TurboBrick]

Tampa Bay Lightning 2 - Jacob Markström 3. He's used to stealing games in the AHL with a pathetic group in front of him.. oh wait, those are actually pretty much the same guys in front of him even in the NHL.

On the positive side... holy crap Victor Hedman is FAST! Also, those push ups must have helped because Matt Carle's shots looked better to me last night. Not great, but better.

Finish 9-3-1 and we still have an 80% chance at playoffs with over 50% chance of winning SE.
