GDT: 6/18/22 - 8:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Colorado [SCF GAME 2]

[These Are The Days]

Was stoned out of my f***ing mind on benadryl and melatonin because I had to be to sleep by like 9pm EST for an early day that I'm starting now. Was too tired to post

@DistantThunderRep choose your fighter bruh. I'll play positivity police

Good thing about the playoffs is that it doesn't matter if it's 1-0 or 10-0, it's still just one game. Win the next one and no one remembers what happened here.

Down 2-0 against the Avs is not gonna be anywhere as near easy to overcome as it was against the Rangers though. But if anyone can do it, it's this team.

 

[Carl Hungus]

Outsider fan but still pulling for Tampa. Just win game 3. Take care of business at home, then take it from there. Avs are a very very good team but they’re beatable if things go right and Tampa gets their head out of their a**

 

[LightningStrikes]

Stamkos and Point had 1 shot each - Kuch none.
Cirelli and Hagel had 1 shot each - Palat and Killorn none.

Paul had 2, Perry 3.


Yup.

 

[Peacefool]

Hopefully this game wont go in our players heads, and they can forget it and just calmly fix mistakes and play better

 

[BackLightningBack]

Lightning looked exhausted, they'll have to reach deeper than ever before to win this. Not going to dog on this team, they've fought their tails off to reach these finals. Didn't think they'd do that these playoffs and with all the moments they've given us Lightning fans. Us fans shouldn't pile on them, they're playing a very good-hungry team that has nowhere near the playoff miles this Lightning team has on them. Hoping they have enough fight left to get back into this series.

Go Lightning!!

 

[BackLightningBack]

Oh yeah, Lightning are playing to afraid. Nothing wrong with respecting opponents, but what the Lightning are doing is to much.

Go Lightning!!

 

[Ms Maggie]

Vasi playing this badly gives team no chance. When you're accustomed to playing with a lights out goalie on your side., this is seismic.

 

[J T Money]

Missed the game…looks like I was fortunate

 

[AHockeyFanatic]

Our only hope

Missed the game…looks like I was fortunate

I’m jealous.

 

[Felonious Python]

My confidence in Stammer is extremely high, but he needs to be the team's unstoppable motor. He's the captain and probably their Conn Smythe candidate. They will pick up the pace if he is.

btw, where did '3 in a row is the only qualification for dynasty' start? I don't think I ever heard that until this season. If you win 5 in 7 years, for example, I'm pretty sure that's a dynasty.

Pretty sure I heard it as a disqualifier for the Hawks and Pens before.

COL >>>>>> NYR

 

[Maelmoor]

Just have to take one game at the time, now it's about pride. Get a win to begin with, then we might get some momentum and won't at least get swept.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Where do you go to see post game interviews? I want to see what they have to say about tonight’s performance.

nhl.com/lightning/video

 

[Coopers Gum]

Why? What cliche would make you feel better?

“We just didn’t play our game.”


“We needed to get pucks in deep and we didn’t do that.”

“Things didn’t go our way tonight.”

“The bounces weren’t in our favor.”

“We didn’t give ourselves a chance to win.”

“Vasy is the best goalie in the world, but we really let him down tonight with the way we played in front of him.”

“But now we are going back to Tampa, and our fans, and we’ll be ready to go for game 3.”

I didn’t watch any post game, but I’m gonna go ahead and predict I just told you the majority of how it went.

Damn did I call it, or did I call it

 

[Fabiobest]

Guys, we're in the Stanley Cup Finals.
The day after a devastating loss.
Words, press conferences and quotes mean ZERO right now.
The only thing that matters is what they'll do on the ice tomorrow night.
Words mean NOTHING.

Can I...?

 

[FinnLightning26]

Well I guess the silver lining is you can't play worse. We've been embarrassed a couple times in the playoffs already and we've bounced back every time. Lets see if we can do it again or if we just have nothing left.

 

[UseYourHedman]

He's not saying Vasi is a spoiled brat that won't listen to what the coach says, just that he wants to compete til the end. I wouldn't take it literally.

Probably thw whole message was correct, but these words were not perfect.
Btw it's not a real problem right now. I hope Vasy will play a great G3.

Anyone remember Wes Anderson's first movie Bottle Rocket?

It doesn't sound that bad in Spanish

 

[The Gongshow]

Vasy has been bad for 5.5 out of 7.5 periods (overtime was barely a period)

Sure he's getting left out to dry by the D but alot of these goals have been softies. He hasn't been sharp, no one has.

The rest of the team let Keumper get a shutout. This man is being handed a cup because he's not even that good a goalie. Colorado could still be in this spot with a bloody pylon in net. He's getting off way too easy because we can't generate any offense. It's pathetic

 

[T REX]

Did you miss Darren f***ingallstar Helm cruise down the wing and snipe one clean past Vasi for the back breaker?

Meant STurm tbh...too much crown

 

[AHockeyFanatic]

I still believe! Go Bolts Go!
