GDT: Game 1: Detroit Red Wings @ Tampa Bay Lightning: Quarter Century Edition

[RedWingzz]

Its blatantly obvious which team is better/hungrier. We need a far batter effort from start to finish. Can't win games playing 40 minutes. Didnt work in the regular season and wont work now.

We will win 1 game max all series. Tampa is far and away better, and work harder.

Did AA go back to the hotel?

 

[KJoe88]

You are completely and incomprehensibly wrong.

Go back to bashing Z. That's all your good at.

You people call yourselves fans. Lmao.

 

[BinCookin]

Joakim Andersson has more IT than Larkin and AA.

Larkin is having a poor game.

 

[Pavels Dog]

It's 3-2

At one point in the 2nd period we were outshooting them 2:1. We were clearly the better team through 2 periods.

But of course, we are down 3-2. Obviously means we never played a good shift in this one.

I'm watching a hockey game that was tied and TB is lucky to be in. But of course our guys have no finish.

TB isn't even playing well. We did outplay them up until 5 minutes ago and TB got a good tip off of a defensive breakdown.

These refs are also a joke amd gave TB two goals from offsides.

WTF are YOU watching?

I'm watching a game where we are looking at the puck in our own zone and getting beat to in constantly, getting muscled off the puck when we do have it, and waiting for either a PP or a shift by AA to actually get some offense going on.

We have been absolutely brutal for the majority of this game, especially at even strength.

I don't care how Tampa is playing, we are playing worse.

Getting scoring chances off of broken plays does not mean you are playing well.

Just looked at Abby's hit on Paquette. Could be grounds for review and possible suspension. Shoulder hits Paquette's head.

I groaned when I saw it. Maybe there will be mitigating cirumstances.

No way. I vehemently disagree.

Outshooting a team =! being better than the other team. Tampa has been more dangerous and actually capitalizes on their chances.

Blowshill...

 

[obey86]

Larkin is having a poor game.

He's playing with the 2 most worthless top 6ers on the team in Richards and Helm. And it's not like Joker is having a non-poor game either.

 

[smtevo]

Just came on here to ask why Larkin has been benched?

 

[JPE123]

Drouin is good

 

[obey86]

Larkin is having a poor game.

Z has had poor games pretty much every night for damn near 3 months....still gets 19 minutes a game.

We were kicking their ass until recently, like you said.

Shots don't tell the whole story, the Wings have had maybe 4 good scoring chances and 2 ridiculously fluky goals.

Did AA go back to the hotel?

He should be packing his bags and going to GR where he can actually get some playoff IT

 

[Heaton]

You see, when you need to score, you want defensively responsible players on the ice, that's why we brought Andersson up and sent down offensively minded Mantha. Because we want to score, by playing defense in our zone.

At one point in the 2nd period we were outshooting them 2:1.

You are a fan of soft perimeter shots that have next to no chance in hell of scoring?

 

[Yemack]

Lightnings are skating to the net hard tonight

2 free goals why not

If you think we've been brutal, you don't comprehend the game of hockey.

I think the score defines the game.

 

[hot dog]

Put Smith in Friday pls

 

[YpsiWings]

Get the tying goal, go to OT. Played too good of a game to end like this

 

[Cursed Lemon]

If you think we've been brutal, you don't comprehend the game of hockey.

Or maybe I know how to analyze a play without looking at shot totals.

 

[edmundbenz]

Looks like AA is back in the AHL..

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Did AA go back to the hotel?

Probably. I think Larkin drove him there.
