Well, looks like we’ll have to wait another 5 months for CBJ hockey.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Inexcusable

heads not in a good place

Why in the world is Riley Nash lining up in the slot for a full minute when we are down 2-1. He’s one of your best offensive options ?

 

[ViD]

Well, looks like we’ll have to wait another 5 months for CBJ hockey.

It’s been a great ride regardless

 

[CBJ goalie]

Not over until it's over, still damn proud of this team.

 

[Columbus Mike]

That's a shame. This game was played under CBJ terms, and we couldn't pull it off.

We've been at our best with our backs to the wall. Let's get a win on Wednesday and go from there.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Pathetic. Not even close to a chance at even a shot on goal the last 3 minutes.

[Monstershockey]

They looked every bit like the 28th ranked offense. They're in games late, but the offense is non existant.

 

[MFRONE]

If it wasn’t already crystal clear, Werenski has to be traded ASAP after the season for a forward. This team cannot score goals and he’s the only option to fix this issue.

 

[majormajor]

At the risk of being stoned for heresy, if Jones is our stud, he has deliver more than just his big minutes. I’m not saying he’s been bad - he certainly hasn’t - but he’s not been the offensive engine, the label Torts has given him and Zach.

Jones is not an offensive engine most games, that's just not what he does. He can get up there quickly and has a great shot but Zach can break a defense with his deceptive body movement, there's no comparison between the two in terms of creating offense.

 

[DJA]

Very poor showings the last two games in terms of desperation toward the end of the game.

 

[KJ Dangler]

Series isn’t over , but I’m ok with the result . This series shows the jackets need more top end skill , and Jarmo will make that move this offseason . We will get a good player in this draft , Foudy and Texier will be really good players , just need some top end skill. Powerplay has killed us in playoffs . At least we beat Toronto

 

[Cowumbus]

At least I’ll be at work and won’t have to watch the series end

predicted Tampa in 5. Okay with the result.

 

[rotsbu]

If you told me the Lightning would have 7 goals thru 4 games and be up 3-1, I wouldn't have believed you

 

[majormajor]

Can’t help it - I’m still laughing.

You're too easy, Moe. Dirty mind.

I edited that comment to make it sound less sexual and it still set people off.

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Too bad that early goal didn't count. Could have changed the trajectory of the game. Nyquist and Foligno need to step up and provide some offense at some point.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Tampa stole our game plan and executed it to perfection.

Last game we had what? 7 or 8 shots on goal the last 45 minutes of regulation.

Today they suffocated us the whole 3rd period minus that one Dubois breakaway. They aren't letting us shoot.

 

[thebus88]

Don’t understand having Gav/Savard at the end to start the PK and the fact they just dumped it down til there was 10 seconds left as if it was a tie game.

 

[Anisimovs AK]

Funny how there seems to be no replay of the too many men call

 

[Toe Pick]

Credit to the Lightning for adjusting their roster and style of play since last year. They are shoving our own game down our throats.

I feel this team is playing their asses off but that lack of top end skill is really hurting. Can’t score 1 to 2 goals a game and expect to go deep in the playoffs.

Jarmo has to find someway to add some impact forwards to this lineup and get this team to at least an average offense.

 

[thebus88]

That was a dirty play by PLD. Inexcusable.

f*** dirty, it’s just 1-2 periods too late.

You watched that without a beer?

I don't know how people do that.

 

[CBJ VGK]

Complete defensive clinic by Tampa. Beaten at our own game.

I've never seen a team do less with more opportunities. Just God-awful shooting and closing capability.
