GDT: 5/23/18 - 8:00PM EDT - #1M Washington VS #1A Tampa Bay [ECF GAME 7]

[Hockey4Life91]

Stamkos has an infatuation with being a playmaker instead of what he is -a shooter

I know I have ranted about this multiple times. But he can’t to do this today. The one time. We have to shoot or it’s over.

 

[These Are The Days]

You'd swear our defense is allergic to touching the puck and shooting it

 

[LonLon Lei]

geez, how many of ours I thought was a goal....

 

[Master P]

The team looks pretty good. Getting some nice chances, just got to finish.

I wish he would take a page from ovi on this one

The defense HAS to shoot more. We can't count on a 3 man cycle down low against 5 guys primed to get the puck as soon as its loose. We need 5 men willing to participate offensively

 

[HoseEmDown]

Less Stralman and more Sergachev. We have tons of possession in their zone and everytime Stralman gets it he kills the play.

 

[Machinehead]

This hasn't been a bad period but there needs to be more offensively.

 

[snowden]

The D backs off so much while Washington challenges at the blueline. So bad

 

[These Are The Days]

This is very concerning. The Lightning cannot afford to let in another goal or this one is over. We are just bound and determined to win this game with only 3 players attack and 2 funneling back as fast as they can. We're not screening Holtby, we're not taking chances to get the puck through traffic. We're not trying anything but perimeter passes hoping they'll go in.

 

[Hockey4Life91]

5 periods without a goal. This is the worst I have seen Kuch in his whole career. We also look tired and slow. Not looking good. I hope something changes.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Does Kucherov or Stamkos have a shot on goal?

 

[The Gongshow]

We haven't scored a goal in 6 periods. The offence can't ego dry in game 7.

 

[Fabiobest]

End of the first.
Scoring the first goal of the game would be very important...
Now it's more difficult to win this game 7...
Btw, a not bad period played but I hope to see more in the offense in the second.

Does Kucherov or Stamkos have a shot on goal?

Stamkos has 1 shot.
Kucherov 0

 

[JFleegs]

not good, Washington throwing everything at vasy and we arnt getting shit through

Minutes are going to seem like seconds until we tie it up.

 

[LonLon Lei]

Please tie the game at the start of 2nd period!!

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Not a baaaad first. But a bad goal.

This is the first commercial break right? No?! What?!?!?

Exactly. We cycle well. But it’s like they are waiting for a player to be wide open in the slot. That isn’t going to happen today. They have to throw it at the net and create chaos. It is insane that they don’t seem to understand that.

 

[These Are The Days]

Minutes are going to seem like seconds until we tie it up.

Underrated post. And seconds will seem like minutes after we do

 

[Fabiobest]

We don't score since 6 periods...Too many periods...
