Around the League XXXIX - Bolts choked earlier than expected

I was surprised when he got up.

Shocked.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

For as many shots as Jones has stopped SJ is blocking just as many.

 

[BK]

Shocked.

Same.

 

[clydesdale line]

Donskoi got demolished

Vegas has dominated.

72 hits. Jesus.

 

[AmericanDream]

here we go......

 

[BobbyJet]

Rope-a-dope....SJ are coming on. Ooooops spoke too soon.

 

[BobbyJet]

Burns ice time approaching 40 minutes.

 

[BK]

Stupid penalty.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Put the whistles away or don’t. Good f***ing lord.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Hockey gods not having it!

 

[BobbyJet]

YAY!

 

[JaegerDice]

Nice.

 

[Pez68]

If that didn't go off Theodore's stick, that's a terrible goal.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

Didn't look like it did. Awful goaltending.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I don’t even know what you say after losing that if you’re Gallant.

 

[clydesdale line]

LOL MAF.

 

[JaegerDice]

I don’t even know what you say after losing that if you’re Gallant.

You’d probably say ‘if we play the exact same way next game, we probably win.’

 

[Rooh]

Lmao Jones made 60 saves? What a ****ing troll.

 

[BobbyJet]

Confirmed. TJ Oshie had surgery to repair a fractured clavicle.

I agree with Blue. I think they need some leadership at a more senior level on the team. But not an overhaul. G needs become a bit more experienced and nut up better.

 

[Blue Liner]

I actually meant to post that in a different thread.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Had to leave for work after 1st OT and just saw the goal Fleury gave up

Wow that was a Huet softie

Actually its the same bunch that has had several notable playoff no shows when it mattered most

Took 2-1 series lead vs Hawks and then had core no show vs Hawks in games 4-6
Had 3-2 series lead in ECF vs Pens and the core no showed for games 6 and 7
Had 3-2 series lead in ECF vs Caps and the core now showed for games 6 and 7
And now this years playoff debacle

Your right its not physical its mental and this core/coaching staff in TB has shown time and again that when it matters most the players are MIA and the coach is clueless

That core needs a major shakeup since they are not going to fire Cooper

I put this same post in the Tampa thread, it's where I meant to put it.
