GDT: 4/23/24 - 7:30PM EDT - #1 WC Tampa Bay @ #1 Florida [ECQF GAME 2]

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

If we were to somehow win this series, it would be our biggest upset in recent memory by a country mile. I can't remember the last time we looked this outmatched in a playoff series. It might've been against Ottawa 18 years ago.

 

[Felonious Python]

Not enough desperation.

Don't turn it into a track meet, but, as Tocc said. Embrace the pain.

 

[JFleegs]

Coop and the refs gifting the panthers power plays doesn’t help

 

[The Gongshow]

Why even bother making the playoffs if you guys don't even wanna play. 1 f***ing shot. f*** off woth that nonsense

 

[Stammertime91]

Do we want to win? If so something has to change this period.

No and no. Lol.


This is exactly what was expected before the series started. It's no surprise. Chalk game 1 up to them being nervous or anxious too? Because they're playing much better. We had some jump before Hagel hit Tkachuk into Vasy, but what we are seeing is quite the gap in talent, execution, and effort.

We have one shot. Lol.

 

[Lightning1995]

One shot

 

[DistantThunderRep]

No one is even hitting. No one f***ing trying. Just show some f***ing heart. Do something. For f***s sake

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

my stream sucks better then last game can see entire ice this time but lagged to death....not sure want to see entire ice hell im sure I dont we look like a mash unit on d blah....anyway internet is bad here so doubt will write much but what to say lol nothing good....blah gooooooooooooo bolts talk later if we come back and win i guess

 

[The Gongshow]

It's time for a shake up. Coaching. One of the core traded. New GM. Something. Our window is closed. Gotta try something new next year. This yesr and last year have shown we are middle of the pack at best.

 

[Master P]

Man, I can't believe Vassy is letting the team down like this.

 

[Outl4w]

JBB is a fraud. He was handed a cup contender on a silver plater.

Jeannot for all those picks can't even crack the lineup

Should have used those picks on an actual top 4 defenseman.

 

[Lightning1995]

Folks this is nothing but sad.

 

[Point21]

A SHOT!

WE were a kucherov away from a lottery pick to NSH.

 

[Rschmitz]

Team still in regular season mode

 

[The Gongshow]

No one is even hitting. No one f***ing trying. Just show some f***ing heart. Do something. For f***s sake

Time to blow this team up. No leaders. No heart. Old and slow. We are Pittsburgh and Washington. Yearly 1st rd exits for pointless seasons

 

[JTBF81]

Again, if Tampa falls in the 1st round again, at the very least all 4 of Sheary, Jeannot, Dumba, and Perbix need to be gone. Re-sign Duclair and Stamkos, use the available space on an actual blueline upgrade on the right side(can get 3-3.5 depending on exact contract values), and give 1 or 2 Crunch guys a role. Oh yeah, and Blashill needs to be fired asap as well so a better defensive system.can be implemented. None of Serg, Cirelli nor Cernak are going anywhere, so you fill in the holes where you can and make adjustments. Series isn't over yet, but there's a decent path forward if they do lose.

He's the best "tweaker" in the league. Handed 4-5 HOF'ers. Best GM ever!

 

[Stammertime91]

Kuch used up all his skill during the season and has just decided to call it a year. f***ing guy is nowhere to be found

He's shadowed and his outlets in our exits are clogged. They've done their homework. He isn't going to have an easy time.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Surprised they didn't call us on that dive

 

[Todd1a]

Man, I can't believe Vassy is letting the team down like this.

Hand Stamkos a pot of gold again and have no defense

 

[Stelio Kontos]

Jeannot, De Haan, Sheary, Duclair, Dumba

JBB going 0/5 really f***ed us. Acquired 4 people who can’t f***ing play. Duclair invisible.

Cooper too f***ing stupid to take Duclair off the top line when the 3rd line has been shit too. Give me a break

 

[DaBolts]

Bye Stammer. Enjoy your new gig.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

I really don’t wanna hear any ref bitching tonight.

 

[TheSchmidt]

team should not be this inept 5v5 offensively

florida is good, but have Mikkola, OEL, and Kulikov making half of their dcorps.

how much of this is coaching?
