GDT: EQF Game 1: CBJ @ TBL - 11 Aug, 3pm

[MFRONE]

Never seen a worse called game, Tampa committed multiple felonies all over the ice and nothing ever was called

 

[Theo Von]

yeah. I know it's just one game, but this feels like the breakup where you keep telling yourself "pretend it doesn't hurt" but deep down it kills.

damn.

 

[stevo61]

Where is the instant whistle Vasi got earlier? f*** those refs

 

[DJA]

Coin flip ending, still think we have the conditioning/mindset to come back strong

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Sh*t happens but if Gavrikov is out after that play we are done. That didn't look good.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Could you make a few "Game over" and "Series over" posts now so we don't miss out?

sure. Game over

 

[MFRONE]

I am wondering why Korpisalo was not even looking at the shooter, he wasn’t really screened that badly

 

[Jaxs]

Damn, what an empty feeling after all of that.

 

[ViD]

Had to watch last couple of overtimes on my phone in the gym.

Of course it was very disappointing to lose after giving so much effort but we have to admit the Lightning deserved the win, we could barely make it to their zone in the overtime 2 and later, we simply gassed after playing so much hockey recently.

All the best to the CBJ for trying and playing hard

 

[JacketsFanWest]

That feels like losing two games simultaneously.

 

[Socks]

Gavvy took a f***ing puck to the face. But god forbid we whistle play dead. f***ing er refs.

 

[Fabiobest]

Bolts fan here coming in peace.

You guys rock for real. Ok that it's not the end of the series, so it's not time to shake our hands, but I want to say also congrats to you because your team played an amazing game.
Unfortunately only one team could win, but, in this case, both of the teams deserve the W.
See you in game 2.
Good night!

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Two unlucky goals (and the GWG was an unlucky goal but also a Korpisofty, but we’ll excuse that one) and one Korpisofty.

We scored two lucky ones ourselves. Them the breaks. We got outplayed pretty bad, but oh well.

I know, he only made 85 saves in the game. What the hell was he doing?

 

[MoeBartoli]

This team played their hearts and guts out. Korpi with one of the great performances in a loss that I’ve seen. He gave the guys so many chances.

 

[Poulin 0n My St1ck]

Hell of a game, Tampa is lucky they finally beat you guys. You guys have a hell of a squad, good luck the rest of the way!

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Stop it.

 

[Cowumbus]

If you blame the refs go become a leafs fan. Good teams find a way to win. Tampa outplayed us the entire game.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Gavvy took a f***ing puck to the face. But god forbid we whistle play dead. f***ing er refs.

It was his shoulder and I fear a collarbone injury.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

You guys got jobbed tonight. Terribly reffed game.

 

[Socks]

f***ing don’t. Korpi was a f***ing beast. Don’t bring that kind of shit after that kind of performance.

 

[punk_o_holic]

That should never been goal. Most clearly 2min for Hedman for knocking Cam down in a breakway. Refs what the f***

Brian Burke said it was a penalty and maybe a penalty shot. Some other guy said usually refs would even it up if a team was short handed and he blew the whistle but realized he didn't have his arm up. Cassie Campbell felt it wasn't a penalty and if Kukan's penalty wasn't a obvious delay of game, maybe they would have called it.

They just had more juice left. We played 5 games in 6 days

 

[Byrral]

Ain't even mad. These so called great teams. I respect them all but they can all suck it.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

A big f*** you to the NHL for having us be the first game, too. After a 5 game series with TOR with less than 48 hours to recover, TB gets a 3pm gift and 5 overtimes to finally score against our players using their sticks as canes out there.

 

[Jyrki]

Hedman cleanly dismantling Cam's breakaway put the death mark on us. Oh well.

I can't see the penalty there, sorry. He reached around with the stick and poked the puck away. Didn't seem like his stick made contact with Cam's skates, neither he hauled Cam down.
