We have speed guys but we’re more of a grind-it-out team at the moment. We lack high-level offensive skill, guys that can create and drive play. We don’t have a MacKinnon, Kucherov, McDavid or Matthews. Our “top” offensive guys are Benn (NHL power forwards break down earlier it seems) and Seguin, who is clearly hurt but has never been the go-to guy on a Cup-caliber team. Pavelski has finally put it together for us in the playoffs but he’s never been a guy that drives play. Our best players are defensemen (Miro, Klinger and Lindell — normally) and a top-flight goalie in Bishop, which is a little crazy considering how poor we were defensively when Ruff was here.

 

or a Brayden Point...

I swear they have two Brayden Points. That dude is just everywhere. Every play, every shift, he seems to be there.

I don't even know what to say. Just so fucking disappointing. Yeah it sucks for us but I can't imagine how the players must feel. 

Just... wow. 

Did you see Benn’s face? That wasn’t disappointment, that was the look of pissed off. They might come out and win tonight out of anger. 

[C-Man 27041]

Exactly. The really scary thing is that they’re this explosive WITHOUT Stamkos.

[Mileslong 4712]

Glad to see this douchebag is catching hell. This is his first NHL championship game. Seems every fan from overt team says this guys sucks and is a real asshole. That coming from a guy who officiated with him. Nice faux hawk dipshit

Hintz out tonight.  Fantastic.  So fitting we lost another player to a hit where 2 penalties should have been called and refs swallowed their whistle.

It was a great run. Nothing to be ashamed of. 

Wonder if we keep Bowness around or if there's a search going on behind the scenes?

[shadow_operative2.0 15824]

Stamkos, Faksa, Comeau, Bishop all out along with Roope. 

[wood 11121]

Seems like we've really missed Faksa, imho.

[vtaenz 601]

Seems like we've really missed Faksa, imho.

This is how Colorado feels.

[shadow_operative2.0 15824]

So, anyone down for some hockey after that chill football game? 

[Pato del Muerto 52338]

So after that football game, now I have to get my nerves ready for this?  Even though it feels they are severely outmanned tonight, I can’t not invest.

Fucking ridiculous

[LonghornJudas 1090]

Must be nice to have control and shots on a power play.

[LonghornJudas 1090]

Hell yeah! There's one.

[shadow_operative2.0 15824]

Fuck yeah, Corey!! 

[cactusflinthead 27594]

That's why we got him

[dcar00 14030]

well done.  now please kill the cheap penalty that is coming up.

[Mileslong 4712]

Le boooom

The job is his if he wants it. They've pretty much come out and said it.

That was a play made by a guy who once scored 50 goals in a season. That was slick!

[Mileslong 4712]

Has to be another penalty on dallas within the next three minutes

[C-Man 27041]

I was convinced we were going to let one in in the last minute of the period again. Khudobin just got the smallest piece of that Kucherov shot.

[Firemans4Horn 17827]

 

hard to switch from the Horns game to this one so quickly. Love having the lead in the first intermission.

I am now self-medicating with some cold beer possibly made from the tears of Texas Tech alum Michael Peticolas.

[C-Man 27041]

Man, how did Vaselinesky stop that Perry shot?

[Hagbard Celine 10751]

just tuning in.  how many bullshit calls in the 1st?

[shadow_operative2.0 15824]

And fuck. 

[LonghornJudas 1090]

Damnit, Doby! Not even a poke.

[crum 524]

sigh

[LonghornJudas 1090]

Also, they've had some amazingly lucky bounces with the puck.

got to get them at the net to get lucky. We’ve passed on too many chances to throw one on net this series. 

[Hagbard Celine 10751]

first 75 seconds of that powerplay were abhorrent

[Pato del Muerto 52338]

I just don’t understand how Tampa can commit the numbers they do to the puck on defense and they never seem to get beat. 
always seem to be 3 forechecking but Dallas can never catch them 3-2.  Early in this pp they had 2 on klinger at the point, meaning 4-2 elsewhere and not only do they not pay for that, they generate their own odd man rush short handed. 

[ztejas 43262]

It was a fun ride. This just isn't our series. Pucks not finding the net, too loose in our zone, refs calling ticky tack games. 

But, still, a few things bounce differently and it's 2-2 and we're playing to be up going into Monday. Such is sports sometimes.

Handful of sweater very visible, uncalled. 

[Firemans4Horn 17827]

We got loose defensively in the last minute. 1 period+ to win or go home. And WE’RE NOT GOING HOME. 

[Firemans4Horn 17827]

Dammit. Our best chances end up with Cogliano. Make a play big guy. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15824]

Mother fucker. 

[LonghornJudas 1090]

Throw shots at the net, something might happen. And it does for TB.

[Firemans4Horn 17827]

[crum 524]

good season man

[Hagbard Celine 10751]

unsighted.

[Firemans4Horn 17827]

Sergechev should have tried to make an unnecessary pass instead of putting it on net. Worked well for the stars this series. 

[Pato del Muerto 52338]

Puck luck has disappeared this series. We got a good amount vs col and vgk 

[Firemans4Horn 17827]

Dig deep boys. 10 minutes to possibly define the rest of your lives.
