Post-Game Talk: Tampa gonna Tampa, 5-2 loss to the 2019 Cup Champs?

Matheson and Pysyk are the definition of soft defense.

 

[RainingRats]

big save on hoffman, if he could have got that higher that would have been a goal

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Matheson and Pysyk are the definition of soft defense.

And Yandle and Ekblad are tough dmen?

 

[Ghoste]

Sasha needs to stop trying to stick-handle through two or three guys. He's like 0-for-50 this season.

[cowboy82nd]

Wow!!! We got lucky on Point's shot.

 

[barkovcanfinnish]

And Yandle and Ekblad are tough dmen?

Compared to those two, yeah. That's not saying much though.

I don't understand Reimer's technique. It's like he's out there (badly) improvising

His technique is to flop and hope for the best.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Dadonov is such a turnover machine.

 

[Ghoste]

Weak call on Tampa.

I like that call "Yandle NEARLY has a chance". The announcers are getting excited about an almost shot on goal. LOL

 

[RainingRats]

If Reimer didn't suck, we'd be 0-0 after 1.

4 months till James is gone

Praying brother, praying!!!!!!!

Nearly a chance that could've almost led to a goal.

Very exciting.

Five shots per period sets the premise to be excited about even clearing the puck from your own zone.

Tampax actually has chemistry between their players whereas the Cats are just relying mostly on fast transition in order to get a decent scoring chance.

 

[Ghoste]

Tampa's forward group look like 12 Barkovs out there. Haha

That's a team to be proud of. #Kudos

Randy, why would the Panthers be in awe of the Lighting? Shit, we are in awe of anybody that can skate.

 

[Asheville]

Call up Monty, waive/demote Reimer.

Is this not an option?

If Reimer didn't suck, we'd be 0-0 after 1.

That’s not quite true and you should know it. Yes, Reimer let in a softie, but we were lucky on a bunch of others.

Tampa is just in a class above. That’s just the truth; but it can be fixed.

 

[cowboy82nd]

I don't know about Reimer's contract. Is it a one way deal only? Not sure.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

but it can be fixed.

I agree, despite the bad goal...we’re probably lucky it’s only a 1 goal deficit. Team needs to regroup big time and come out ready to compete because that wasn’t even close to good enough.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Yeah Reimer sucks but our guys didn't bring it either.

They look really slow and tired. Even Frankie had only one good rush.

Maybe they’ll realize it’s time to skate. Like Tampa does. What do you do against someone who pushes hard? You push back harder. There’s no secret recipe, effort has a lot to do with it.
