Post-Game Talk: Lightning 6 @ Panthers 1 - 13/2 * 7 PM EST - v1.2

[5 Hole]

If you’re Bob- how do you take the paycheck and feel good about it? His head must be a hot mess.

 

[violaswallet]

This was a bad game to say the least and a disappointing game. I didn’t expect us to necessarily win but weak performance.

Bob’s confidence is shot which sucks after the last game: at times it looks like he didn’t even move to stop the puck.

what do we do? I think we need to see if giving him a. Few weeks off via a LTIR stint could work? Check out his vision or what?

Maybe this team will make the playoffs. If so, that's a testament to good coaching and the play of guys like Barkov. Personally, I hope to see it.

But I don't think you or anyone else will argue that Bobrovsky's contract is anything but an albatross around this team's neck.

I'm long past the point of pretending about a lot of things, those related to hockey and otherwise.

Hockey can change quickly. Bob can still redeem himself (although even if he does, that contract still sucks, but that was DT gambling to save his job and legacy). So it’s still wait and see for me, I’m trying to enjoy their start. Maybe their world will come crashing down - I don’t know, although Hornquist should help give guys context and motivation.

The other things .... not so much. No pretend from me on other things.

I doubt he feels bad for taking pocket change from Viola

Vokoun?

At least Bob hasn't ruined anything yet like Vokoun did. I'm never going to forgive him. Anytime when his name is mentioned, it brings back horrific memories.

Refresh my memory because I legitimately don’t remember/know what you’re referring to?

 

[cowboy82nd]

Where's Tonya Harding and her friends when you need them?

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Where are you?

Haven't seen Kellr this season. Hopefully he's ok.

cheers

I changed my username after last season. That was supposed to be the year, "we are the team to beat" (Ekblad) etc. turned into a classic Panthers shitshow. That broke the camel's back.

I've watched most of the games this year, just don't post that much anymore. I would just bitch and moan all the time anyway so better for you guys lol.

 

[Mogo]

It's kinda unbelivable how easily Bob gets scored 5-hole when he's down on his knees once the puck enters our zone

That's what we do!

Said it in the other thread, I could see this taxing him a lot. Certainly if this goes on for another year.

He's taking up massive amount of cap space and not living up to his contract whatsoever. He knows this. The guy is almost single-handedly crippling the operation here.

Huby did the exact same move on Vasy but failed. That fake tells so much from Joseph knew exactly what he was going to do.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

This place is something special lol

 

[Pigge]

A bummer that Vasilevsky shut the door in the first two periods, or the game could have gone in a different direction. But it was more disappointing that there was no adjustment to the PP to counter their aggressive box or the way Tampa played the NZ drop. Not even once did we swap Huberdeau and Ekblad to get the different look.

It was also frustrating to see the team give up multiple breakaways by the last defender being far too aggressive in the NZ (Weegar on the 5th goal, Gudas on the 6th). Wennberg's gamble on the second goal may be in the same category. Bad idea to risk giving a team like that momentum.

Just pick any game they lose and you'll see Bob's name poppin' up in the GDT.

 

[CursedCats]

This Bob's 7th game with a save percentage in the .700s or less since joining the Panthers.

For salary comparisons sake, Carey Price has exactly 0 over the same time span (in 10 more GP)

It’s because we have the worst defense in the history of hockey.

Has nothing to do with Bob...

Nothing is a strong word. He had a part in it, while not 100%, he did have a % of fault.

So those great saves Vadi made was all his defense, he had nothing to do with it.

I was being sarcastic.

Direct deposit.

You never touch it and money just magically appears in your account.

Well, isn't it always Bob's fault?



I joke, but he could play A LOT better.

[Pragmatic Panther]

We had a bad game guys. It happens. We absolutely disrespected the former cup champs last game, and they gave it back to us. This place is more volatile than the CBOE VIX.

For real. Got slapped by the cup champs. WE SUCK. Literally embarrassed them all over the ice last game.

 

[Bag Of Beans]

Just like baseball, it's the rubber match on Monday. 3 game series

 

[Dread Clawz]

Could be a good thing, they sound motivated to bounce back Monday. They got away from their sound defensive performance from Thursday. Maybe they've finally learned.
