Hate to say it. But if McDonagh misses both today and tomorrow we are done.

Bittersweet memories y’all. Same players getting hurt. And same result. No Cup.


Covid will effect the NHL for a minimum 2 years and what a waste to this so called “dynamic group” we have. Bad lucky, shitty timing. Whatever you call it.

With McD out Hedman, Killorn and Palat are expected to wear an A tonight right? Asking the important questions.

Welp Hedman gonna play every other shift now. No McD hurts. If he's done for more than today I really dont like our chances considering how sloppy our D (besides the first pair) look.

Serg and Shattenkirk are a damn liability out there.

Serg should never be on the ice when Kucherov is. Those two together are a disaster right now.

HE NEVER LEAVES WORK AGAIN

You guys tease, but I'll just happen to point out that I didn't watch Game 3 or Game 4 against CBJ live, and they won both games (I did see Game 5 live, however). I also missed seeing at least one game from the 2018 playoff series against Boston and having to watch it on tape delay as well (and they won).

I guess what I'm saying is...I think I'll find something else to do tonight, whether it's play tennis, watch basketball, whatever, and watch the game before I fall asleep (or do it first thing tomorrow morning). And if they win, well, I guess that's the pattern I need to stick with until they lose again.

I mean, especially this time of the year, I prefer having the ability to interact in real-time with others, be it here or on Twitter or whatever (and I was especially bad about popping in during the season this year...I just couldn't get up for regular season games, honestly), but I'll do whatever's necessary if it helps this team win games this time of the year.

At least the Rays are playing tonight, so that may be what I am watching if Bolts are sucking.

So everything on one guy.

The other teams also stick to their structure for consecutive games.
I'm not a big fan of putting that much on the shoulders of one guy but, let's be honest here, we're committed to paying Vasy the money that only goalies that can carry their team to victory get. It's his time to earn his money.

I've often thought the same as what Hose said. Why is it that Vasy hasn't stepped up and completely shut the other teams down in the biggest games? He gets all the accolades from his team about how he keeps the team in it, Cooper always sings his praises but, really, in the games that matter the most he's been slightly above average at best. I think it's time he steps his game up and shows that he deserves to be a top-3 paid goalie.

Missed last game but I'll be here tonight.

I still don't understand our PP. I was looking at last game and there was once on the PP when Hedman made a great pass to Maroon which left himpretty close to alone infront of their net but he looked so surprised and a bit unsure of what to do that he put it on Halaks pads, now imagine if say Point had gotten that pass...or even Kuch or Palat it could have been something great. But I still love Maroon and think he does well but it's just our PP....it's driving me crazy.

I dont know about you guys, just got back from the bakery for my usual 6am mushroom and meat pie, 600ml chocolate milk, 600ml Bottle of Coke and a packet of cigarettes = breakfast of champions....if Cooper doesnt tell me what the f*** is up with Rutta at the conclusion of this game...... I dont know what ill do.


Actually I do -- ive done a glorious porn melt across a forum and its threads before - its not hard to re configure the script for here....

Faceoffs and powerplays, that's going to do the Bolts in. I don't know whatever nonsense Cooper was talking today, but PPs sure have hell cost the Bolts so far and if they don't improve--at both ends--they're not going to be playing much longer. I've been a steadfast Cooper supporter, but the impotence of the PP is all on the coaches at this point.
