[DaBolts]

Thank you Vasy.

Again.

88

Enough said.

 

[DMB06]

Way to make a win feel as bad as it can Cooper. I seriously can't stand how afraid he is as a coach, it's really starting to piss me off.

 

[gg720fla]

I hate the way they close these games out chasing their tails.

 

[berlin]

Should not have been that close. Our ADD clearly kicked in there.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Insane.

 

[Stammertime91]

MY HEART CANT TAKE THIS SHIT ANOTHER GAME

 

[Machinehead]

Goaltending is timing.

THAT save by Vasi at THAT time is as good as it gets.

 

[Hint1k]

Yes! 19 blocked shots. We should close this series in the next game.

 

[These Are The Days]

It wasn't pretty but they held on

 

[Hockey4Life91]

Heart attack city. Exhale. At least we are rolling, 3 in a row. Hell yeah!!!

 

[Stormbreaker]

VASY! VASY! VASY!

 

[Fabiobest]

VASYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
End of match!!!
Wow, now we've the lead for the first time in this series.
Great defense: we've not given them a single PP.
Now, we've to be focused on game 6.
We've not done anything yet.

 

[pursuit81]

Obviously I'm glad we won but it was a pathetic win. Cooper should be ashamed of himself. Gutless, gutless coaching. Two periods worth.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

 

[DMB06]

Do you actually think Cooper is telling them to do this?

Who else would be? Of course he is. His plan with a lead is clearly to clog shooting lanes and take zero chances on defense.

 

[DaBolts]

Cirelli out there

Better him than Tampon Johnson.

 

[Brie]

We survied thanks to Vasy and the goals we were able to get from our depth but it was not the kind of win it shoukd have been and the team needs to take a long hard look in the mirror to figure out why they sat back like that becuase it won't always work.

 

[LonLon Lei]

win is nice, but plz no more sitting back like this!!!!

 

[berlin]

Still waiting for a 60 minute game.

 

[Lightning1995]

Thanks Vassy. 7 shots on goal after big lead.

Just win baby.

 

[StaySalty]

Im shaking like a wet dog in the rain with anxiety from that shit

 

[Machinehead]

And on the victorious note, don't ever do that again, Cooper!

That was some kind of f***ing lead-sitting.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

should've sent out the 4th line as one star

 

[Steazy Doo]

Who else would be? Of course he is. His plan with a lead is clearly to clog shooting lanes and take zero chances on defense.

It happens all the time to literally every team in the league. It's just human nature to sit back like this. Cooper could tell them whatever he wants and it would still look like that.

 

[gg720fla]

Yes, nice win but please Yzerman, make a deal this offseason for Johnson and Killorn.
