"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!"

 

[bigdaddio]

Want to know how bad the team played including Vasy, if you put McB in both nets this game is probably the same.

 

[Fabiobest]

On to the first PO game...

 

[Stammertime91]

I don't understand how anybody thinks adding Kuch and Stammer will make the rest of the team stop sucking. Even Vasy is a dumpster fire.

Yes and no. Do you see who Point is playing with? These powerplay chances? You see who is out there and where they are? This is about the most deceiving game given our roster. Now, what it has done is given them tons of confidence. Florida has a sneaky good team. Very strong in all areas. If we look the same in game 1 then we are screwed.

 

[JoVel]

doomsayers may note that Carolina is losing by the same score to Nashville.

Have they been doing it for weeks?

 

[Hoek]

I'm not particularly worried about losing games down the stretch. Plenty of teams have backed into the playoffs and won, and plenty have come in on fire and fizzled out. More worried about whether the players have enough health and gas to step things up regardless of what they've done the past month or so.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Giving myself the Cirelli approach. It's an entirely new season now. Throw away everything else.

 

[Todd1a]

The pain is over on to game one

 

[Lightning1995]

If the Lightning get the band back together from all the injuries the Panthers will have a rude awakening.

But Vassy needs to be better. We know he can be

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Doomed. Vasy sucks

 

[U55]

Doomed. Vasy sucks

I expect you to be shit faced for game 1! We need the luck!

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Hoping that instead of high fives when Kuch returns, he just slaps everyone in the face.

Oh man, the level of drunk I need to be, there is going to be some incoherent posts

Can he? He was terrible 2 nights in a row. Not even just not good, but awful. I feel like he's heading into Steve Sax/Chuck Knobloch/Rick Ankiel territory. Well at least Rick Ankiel switched to a position player. Maybe Vasy can play wing.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Maybe it's a little different but I'm hoping for the type of energy we showed when Stammer came back Game 3 of the finals. We were so juiced up to start that game. Getting Kuch back should uplift the entire team.

 

[HoseEmDown]

I'm shocked that Cirelli didn't score or even a point tonight.

 

[J T Money]

Hoping that instead of high fives when Kuch returns, he just slaps everyone in the face.

 

[JTBF81]

Just gotta say it, ABB is underwhelming. From game 1 to now, he's not impressive from whistle to whistle. Guy doesn't have the drive to win a battle, sees the puck and can retrieve it, yet he doesn't cause there's an opposing player within 20 feet of him. Shades of Purcell when it comes to that.

Well hopefully he's ready to go by start of next season, as the Bolts will need him or another of the younger 'Cuse guys to step up with likely Johnson, Coleman and one of Killer/Palat likely gone.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Absolutely not a question of if he can. Same goes for a lot of guys who upped their game to the necessary level last year. The 2020 cup run proved that.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

I'm shocked that Cirelli didn't score or even a point tonight.

That give away that lead to Weegar's goal was unacceptable. Not what you'd expect from a Selke finalist.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Nashville beating Carolina 4-0 right now. We're not the only ones tonight who wished the regular season would end quicker

 

[These Are The Days]

Doomed. Vasy sucks

Some fans play Gloria. We play Ave Maria. No one can ever fathom the pain and torture we feel

 

[BoltsOfAnarchy]

What a heart warming interview with Joseph. I love talking about totally unrelated social issues when you’re team is floundering & looks as if it’s ready to play only 4 more games.

Good for him & Walcott & everyone else who’s made it to the big show. I just wish we’d look at it as someone making their NHL debut, rather than filtering down to the color of his skin. A person is a person, enough of this. Shame on the those robotic reporters as well. Original

 

[Antiramie]

If Goodrow can't go, I'd go buckwild with the lines:

Colton - Point - Kucherov

Stamkos - Gourde - Coleman

Killorn - Johnson - Palat

Maroon - Cirelli - Joseph

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

If Goodrow can't go, I'd go buckwild with the lines:

Stamkos - Gourde - Coleman

Killorn - Johnson - Palat

Too early to play that card. But Cooper definitely has it in his back pocket.
