Post-Game Talk: Lightning 3 @ Canucks 2 OT | BoJesus tried to save us but OT wins again.

[Chairman Maouth]

Last time we played Tampa it was perhaps the most lopsided in regards to penalties (favouring the Lightning) in Canucks history, and we still got a satisfying win and stuck it to the refs. Lightning play in Edmonton the previous night.

And anyone who wants to do GDT's go for it. We welcome any contributions.

Anyone know a 4-8 year old that can do up a GDT in crayon and just use that night in and night out? don't even tell them how to spell the names properly, just let them go ham on it, I support this.

That's actually a great idea...

Things I'd like to see but with Willie you'll likely never see.....Vrbata moved on to the Sedin line in the absence of Hansen; McCann between Higgins and Burrows, instead of with a plug and a fire hydrant on the fourth line; Virtanen on the Horvat-Baertschi line; Cracknell back in the middle with Prust and Dorsett; Vey joining Pedan in the pressbox....and please, can we just see one pp shift with Baertschi and McCann?

That gif is to perfect.

You know what to do..

or Vey joining Weber in the pressbox, Pedan playing. Higgins can stay in the pressbox too, bring someone else up.

Totally agree, but that would be like taking the safety blanket away from Limus.

Chris Higgins has 1 assist in his last 21 games. Let that sink in before you want McCann playing with him instead of plugs and fire hydrants. For all the heat he gets, even Virtanen still has more points (in a handful less games) than him.

Well, people complained about the gif one because of lag on phones, this would just be a placeholder until someone felt like doing one up proper.

 

[lawrence]

oh man I hope Stamkos has a breakout game or something.

Vey didn't look bad last game. I'm ok with him staying in. But Pedan definitely needs to dress over Sucktowski or Weber.

Agreed about pedan. Ben Huttons mobility has made bartkowski redundant. Guy is just a train wreck defensively. Reminds me of shane obrien

Shane o'brien scored on his own net during a pulled goalie power play call for the extra attacker......... You can't buy that kind of intangibles

You can, and his name is Dennis Wideman. Just costs a measily 5.25 million.

How is it I remember SOB and not this

And I bet I'm not even remembering SOB correctly maybe he just dives after it

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

So... how many goals will Marky be allowed before he is benched for a month or two now that Miller is back? My bet is that unless he allows only one goal or posts a shutout, Miller will be in for the next one and then go straight back into starter "rotation" regardless of performance.

I want:
Sedins Vrbata
Bae Bo Virts

Edler Tanev
Hutton Weber
Biega Pedan

I shall receive:
Sedins Higgins
Dorsett Bo Prust
Dorsett Vey Burrows
Dorsett Cracknell Bae

Weber and Bartkowski triple-shifted.

I don't know if Hansen is healthy - he took quite a beating last game, but I wouldn't to break up the Horvat - Baertschi combo and I'd like to see Jake get into a game sooner rather than later. I also thought Vey played his best game in a long time vs the Canes. For me, if Higgins rotates back in, with Grenier and Kenins assigned back to Utica it would probably be Prust on the pine. WD probably won't sit Prust even with the Bolts not being an overly physical team, but assuming Hansen is out:

Sedin Sedin Vrbata
Baertschi Horvat Burrows
Higgins McCann Virtanen
Cracknell Vey Dorsett

 

[m9]

I would be fine with Vey on RW with Baertschi and Horvat. Had a nice play on the PP, maybe it carries over.

Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Baertschi-Horvat-Vey
Burrows-McCann-Virtanen
Prust-Cracknell-Dorsett

 

[brokenhole]

I wonder if the NHL will put the same reffs in this game that they had back in Tampa.

 

[Samzilla]

Of course they will. They failed in their mission to provide TBay a win last time so they'll need another shot at completing the job.

I'm not really a Vey hater but I don't know what you saw from him to warrant that comment. He cost a short-handed goal against and his assist wasn't really a big factor on the goal.

 

[Amused To Death]

Sometimes I wonder if those refs doing a horrible job are just rigging the game for some Las Vegas overlord.
