Improvement from last game. Started slow but picked up the pace. Looking better. Maybe losing 3 straight will give them the adrenaline shot they’ll need come round 1.
Can we end the Nick Ritchie experiment now? That guy just flat out sucks. He's got size, but his anticipation is garbage and since he takes 4 years to get his big dumb ass moving, he really needs to read plays better because he's not getting to where he needs with his lack of foot speed.
So completely outplay these dirty motherf***ers from the 2nd period onward and giv eup a cheapy with a minute left and now we're the 4 seed in a season where we f***ing ran the entire legaue
How stupid. Pass it to a TB player and get the stoppage in play plus the faceoff in TB zone.
Dummys.
My prediction was right. We lost.
Extra treat....the Caps are next
He was easily one of their best players todayCan we end the Nick Ritchie experiment now? That guy just flat out sucks.

Kuralywho let the tampa player get right by him for the rebound?
Hate to say it but they needed a guy like Coleman. Coleman and Ritchie would've been a beast to deal with but Ritchie alone with little push back from other big guys like Carlo isn't anywhere near enough. I just hope nobody gets their head kicked in vs. Washington.I think they are. They have very little time to turn things around, and once again, I don't believe they have the physicality to compete with teams like TB, who have clearly addressed their "softness" issue.
I missed a lot of this game because of technical issues, but really, outside of Ritche -- was he a physical presence? -- did they bring any physicality at all today? Someone posted that Lauzon was good in this department.
Assay?
