Don't see us beating this machine.

We usually play them well.


But its all on Reims being his usual self or the good version.

It’s frightening how many blown leads this team gives up. That’s on coaching and how bad this defense is. That alone is the reason why this team will not make playoffs.

They come down to earth today. 5-2 Tampa

 

[Mogo]

All the shit Ekblad gets but the guy is only -2 on a team that almost everyone in top 6 are at least -20

Blame the organization for his stunted growth. You see how great he played with veteran D around him. Now he’s basically our Veteran D. It’s a bad job by Tallon.

Ekblad 362 NHL GP
6 playoff games played

Barkov 384 NHL GP
6 playoff games played

Huberdeau 438 NHL GP
6 playoff games played

Trocheck 336 NHL GP
2 playoff games played

Matheson 216 NHL GP
5 playoff games played


Our young players are still very young which is the only positive thing here. The bad part is they are very accustomed to losing. Losing is all they know in the NHL. Culture or losing = Florida Panthers

This game? A tale of two cities.

All the **** Ekblad gets but the guy is only -2 on a team that almost everyone in top 6 are at least -20

Also, he had some concussion issues; still doing great

BUF lost 3-1 to WPG in regulation, BUF looks to be falling apart
CAR lost 3-2 to NJD in regulation, kept CAR from jumping PIT for WC2
DET lost 5-2 to CHI in regulation, that's CHI's 7th straight win
NYR play TOR later tonight, one would assume TOR stomps them
PHI plays PIT tomorrow, guess we want PHI to win in regulation there

Need these 2 points and things will get interesting.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Need these 2 points and things will get interesting.

If they can't get those two points then Barkov should at least instigate a fight with Kucherov.

To be fair I think most people just criticize him for his skating, which is justified imo.

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

If they can't get those two points then Barkov should at least instigate a fight with Kucherov.

On NHL 19 when they get home later tonight?
I'd love to know what does get Barkov slightly upset.
We all have our breaking points

lol reimer

 

[RainingRats]

such a weak goal. that should never go in

 

[23YearsandCounting]

Reimer sucks

 

[MintyFresh88]

Adda boy Reimer. What a joke.

 

[LastOfADyingBeard]

What a beautiful goal.... and he hasnt scored a goal in 10 games.... one shot on us though and drought ended!!!

 

[23YearsandCounting]

This game? A tale of two cities.

A tale of one organization that wins
and another that has a culture of losing

 

[peterbiz09]

Yikes this is gonna get ugly

 

[LastOfADyingBeard]

Lets try this again.... Are we going to get a shot on goal this period?

 

[LastOfADyingBeard]

I like how no one was even stopping miller from swinging his stick at reimers legs for a possible rebound. If we did that at the other end we would be "legally" crosschecked out of the paint

So many Tampa fans here. They have an organization they can be proud of.
