GDT: EQF Game 2: CBJ @ TBL - 13 Aug, 3pm

Can we please talk about how well Murray is playing??
A good part of their success.

Sure. He and Kuks had some shifts where they pushed the play into the Tampa end. Good passers, and obviously Murray got his first career playoff goal. I'm so happy for him. A lot of players never score in the playoffs, he deserved it.

They chipped in tonight but you can say that Torts underused them, only 9 minutes TOI. I know the other D can play the whole game but the results with Murray and Kuks were good tonight.

He was good with all the 9 minutes he had

He deserves more minutes!

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

He deserves more minutes!

Let’s be honest, his back probably can’t handle much more.

 

[CBJ goalie]

I'd rather have 9 minutes of him than 15, and then possibly lose him for 2, 3 games.
I trust the coaches are time managing him with his health.

 

[Jaxs]

Hell yeah boys. Just got finished watching game 2 victory. Nice win. Wenny with the dipsy doodle, that has to be his most skillful goal he's ever scored. First playoff goal for Murray. Nice.

 

[Byrral]

Just finished watching the game after I got off of work. As I said the other day and I repeat:

These so called "elite" teams can all suck it. CBJ! CBJ!

Another great effort all around by the team. My favorite part was watching Texier getting under the skin of several Lightning players.

Off to read the GTD. Should be enjoyable.

It seems I wasn't the only one surprised by Wennberg's goal. As I watched it in real time, I was thinking "oh well, good effort, nice pla-... wait, WTF? How did that go in?!"

 

[We Want Ten]

These 3 pm starts can kiss my butt.

 

[Jyrki]

Me reacting to Wennberg's path to his goal:

"Oh it's Wennberg he's going to shoot high and wide"
"There he goes, dangling into the corner as usual"
"Oh he beat his man, he's going to lose the puck then"
"See? He fell into the goalie, who knows where the puck is"
"...oh, it went in. Ok, I guess"

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Impressive game outside of the first 10 minutes or so.

wtf wennberg.

Z and Jones are beasts. Jones play to break up the breakaway changed the game

korpi is rock solid right now.

foligno is much maligned around here but he played a damn good game

 

[Nanabijou]

POOH BEAR!

That is all.

(Had to watch the game later today)

Any word or even rumor as to what’s going on with Elvis.

I actually thought Vasi made the save, and Wennberg jarred it loose and knocked it into the net. I didn't celebrate, because I thought it would get taken off the board. It wasn't until I saw the replay that I realized he beat him cleanly.

 

[Jovavic]

Why do they hate Tex so much lol, he doesn't get that kind of attention from any other team, does he?

Sorry. Had to.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

You don’t even know what the correct position should be, before and after the fact that you are basing things an the tv camera angle.

Joonas Korpisalo is BETTER than Bobrovsky and Merzlikins.

Bus how can you say this with a straight face? There were at least 3 different rushes where Joonas ended up over committed to the side of the net or hugging the wrong post. The guy is playing out of his mind and I hope that it continues, he is playing iron man hockey right now like a Hasek or Brodeur, but there have been moments of extreme good luck. I'm still wondering where and what is wrong with Elvis and there is always the chance we are going to need our 2nd goal tender. Kivlenieks and Vehvilainen can fill in, but I am more confident with Elvis - where is he and what is physically wrong with him?

Only Boone and Foligno had more ice time than Tex in game 2. That's cool.

 

[lakai17]

Hope Stenlund gets in a game as well as he played decent when called upon during the season.

Although the depth players have been playing decent, he mixes in as well if needed.

Nice to see Bemstrom get the call as well.

 

[Nanabijou]

After a rough first shift, I thought the fourth line handled themselves well. Their fresh legs (Robinson hasn't been getting a ton of ice, so he's still fresh too) helped keep the pace up.

Sorry. Had to.

Should we call the Unsolved Mysteries hotline?

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Is Tyler Motte going to get some time??? Saw he was playing with the Canucks. Wasn't sure if we would recall him

 

[ClevelandUke]

2 games in and theres quite a few people like majormajor who owe apologies, especially if we can continue to hold momentum

I agree, I want to see them get more minutes.
