Heard the ice at Amalie is not in good shape. Anyone have any contacts at the arena that can update us?
Not sure the source, but I think it needs to be checked. I think Amalie is one of the most efficient arena's in the league when it comes to the environment that is needed for perfection. Now, LFG!!!!!!!!!!

They need to get away from the "Win 1-0" and "structure them to death" mindset because what we saw was a team ready to have Vasilevskiy bail them out of every issue they ran into until someone just happened to score and win us the game.

It was not a lack of desire that did us in. The Lightning VERY MUCH want to win. It was the fact this team was not desperate. They smashed the "calm" button after game 1 and fell asleep

Do you guys have any other known/speculated injuries besides point? Looks like Avs are down Burakovsky today for sure, didn’t fly with the team to Tampa apparently
Hedman has been pretty meh since he took an elbow to the jaw against the Rangers. Given how bad the entire roster has been and especially in creating sustained offense feel free to speculate. Killorn and Hagel are two suspects for sure for example.

Like... in general? Or currently?

Usually it's pretty good.

not sure if this is a good omen or not, but my beta fish named Vasy just attacked and cannibalized my fiances fish which she named Mack.

I read on the Avs forum that someone said they had info from someone at the rink that the ice was presently not good. But I'm a nobody in CO without any connections so I've no idea if it's true or not. That's why I asked.

We turn the ice temperature up to 42 degrees so Makar and McKinnon have to wear Keds to skate. Stupidest comment of the year here.

Let's go :lightningbolt!!

Please don't suck anymore. :puppy:

Switched to my Vinny jersey retirement t shirt for extra mojo.

About to leave home for the game (I get there early for the cheaper parking) and a thunderstorm just arrived. Hopefully that's a good omen.

See y'all on the other side!

P.S. In all the many years I've been attending games at Amalie - including late in the season playoff games - the ice has generally NOT been a problem. People not from Florida don't realize that we start getting the heat down here waaay before June. :P

Snuck in and wrote this on the whiteboard just now

Listen up, pheasants. They’re laughing at you. They’re all laughing at you. The media has counted you out already. They’re saying it’s over.

If you have an ounce of integrity left in the tank, you will pull out a victory tonight.

You can’t be consumed by your boneheaded, braindead decisions anymore. You will be united in your willingness to compete. Perhaps it’s fate that you’re down 0-2 again and you will once again be fighting for your 3-peat lives… from near elimination.

This is the day that this locker room declares in one voice, “We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our Turnaround Day!”

A win would be better than a loss.

I'm going full pessimism today so be prepared. We are probably going to lose so let's just face it. This narrative works better and is healthier.

1. I prepare myself for the eventual loss.
2. If we comeback then yay? My pessimism will get lost in the shit posting and I'll blame someone else.


I pretty much win-win on this one.
Since I was born, I'm a pessimist person...
Said that, it's really hard to win tonight.

I want to think this team won't lay an egg but there was not a single positive in game 2. I'm chalking game 1 up to us shooting on Kuemper and the Avs "feeling us out" and shaking off rust. Yet they still won. If this series was 1-1, it wouldn't feel so dire, but we got bitch slapped like I've never seen and nobody on our team did a damn thing. We look spent.

Yep. This x100.

Side note, I find myself liking just about every single one of your posts lately. Cause we agree on stuff? Can there really be two hockey supergeniuses on one forum??

Nothing else to say
In round 1 and 3 we played with fire but, for some reasons (we were good and lucky at the same time), we were able to win the series.
In G1 and 2 now, we're paying the price.

You’re our guy on the inside. Tell us if you crazy Floridians have discovered and concocted a way to keep the ice cold later tonight.
Idk how they survive down there man. It’s f***in hot as shit all the time. I would step outside and within 10 minutes feel like I needed a shower.
