Post-Game Talk: Lightning 5, Oilers 2

[BoldNewLettuce]

Lol. Go back and rewatch the second goal.

is their arena named after that movie about the whimsical french girl?

 

[Cloned]

Lots of head on swivel... and not in a good way unfortunately

I noticed Yawney changed up the d-pairings in the third period because he had had enough of that specific pairing, lol.

At least Yawney is smart enough to know when certain players aren't playing well.

 

[GMofOilers]

Florida game a for sure must win.

Thought Koskinen would of been better tonight.

 

[Soundwave]

Either way we cant lose haha

Yup, it's good for us. If he gets suspended it'll get press across the league and some guys will be like "shit, Lucic is crazy, he could have killed that guy", do it NHL, suspend him. We only stand to gain.

 

[backhandsauce]

Nice to see Kass engaged.

What were the pairings? I wasn't paying much attention.

 

[Frank the Tank]

I expected to go 2-2 on this road trip. Looking at the rosters I think losing to Washington and TB, back-to-back is not ideal, but acceptable; losing to Florida is not acceptable.

Klef - Larsson stayed the same, but I think Gravel was with Russell and Nurse was with Benning.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Florida game is a must win imo.

Have to stay in the thick of it for the “American thanksgiving factor”

That'll be Florida's first game in a week. They will be nice and rested.

never underestimate what his league has in store for you

Love that play by Lucic

I think we lose to Florida in OT and get run over by Colorado.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

So can we get Quennville on the phone?

A quick little losing streak might be a nice blessing in disguise. Bring on Q.

Totally agree. If we lose next game im worried. I think the way this one ended could benefit us long term.

 

[Jumptheshark]

on the bright spot both our goalies are UFA in the off season so can change them both if you like

 

[ChaoticOrange]

He ripped the officials pretty good.

Oh really? Good. Strome just got a couple points in my book.

Chia signs Bobrovsky for 8M?

 

[Ragdoll]

I was busy tonight and missed a majority of the game. I saw on instagram a video of Lucic mauling a lightning player, can someone fill me on what happened?

 

[Soundwave]

If by 8 mill, you mean 8 mill in the last two years of his contract and 11.5 (gotta get that extra 0.5 in there) per the first three years ... sure.

 

[Moregoalspls]

Just hate the guys wide open in the slot, guys putting no effort to tie up a guy they are right near in front of our goalie, and other brain farts like that. We've seen much better from this team just a week ago.

Agreed, its super frustrating sometimes.

 

[Cloned]

Not really sold on Q either. Reading the Hawks board, he sounds like a carbon copy of McLellan tbh.

That Tampa player hit two Yamamoto and Russell from behind on two plays that weren't called.

Lucic sent a message.

Some people cried because it was too violent for them.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Now we have a bigger problem because it looks like we just aren't very good at any position.

I missed the complete one game transformation of your position.

Now I'm not going to get on Koskinen like people have been flaming Talbot constantly but this is classic counting eggs before they are hatched. Koski lets in 5 tonight including 2 he could've had. Lightning hit 2-3 goal posts. Koski also with 2 near disastrous puck handing incidents, and a bizarre icing shot that hits the post and creates a rebound. The whole way I'm thinking what is he doing there.

This was a rough outing and Koskinen clearly rattled by incoming by the 3rd period.

But that's the thing with being a goalie in the NHL. How do you deal with facing scorers and chances that you don't have much in a hope in hell of stopping.

I love Vasilevsky reaction btw. Looking at his team mates after the Drai goal. As in c'mon guys, no way I can stop that, somebody has to spot that.

 

[Burnoutboi]

Oh really? Good. Strome just got a couple points in my book.

And one on the stats sheet!

I thought the Oilers came out flat, again. It took half of the first period for the team to realize this wasn’t practice.

And good on Lucic. I thought he showed incredible restraint not pulverizing that guy on the ice. Plus, he wasn’t even in crazy eyes mode like when he’s flew off the handle in the past.

It’s sucks to lose two in a row, but anytime this team is over .500 I think they’re doing all right.

 

[KarmaPolice]

At least Klefbom played 26 minutes and still wound up with a +1.
Go Klefbom!

That 4th line is killing us early in games. They got hemmed in their zone and Tampa had like 2 or 3 scoring chances on one shift right off the hop.

yep

observation made

you hit an oiler--there will be retribution
