Just not making good plays at either blueline. Poor passes or getting stripped and Tampa is just super dangerous in transition. Easy to see why they beat CBJ 8-2 earlier this year.

Tampa would be a serious contender if they had kept Kunitz.

Kunitz was a fine player for them. Imagine if the Hawks had a guy on pace for 13 goals on their fourth line....

Edit: Kruger is. Foot in mouth

Comeback time, Boom.

Schmaltz is driving and shooting more. We really got him and Saad moving tonight. Too bad the score doesn't look like it.

It wasn't the good kind of boom.

Lightning striking the same place 5 times. I better go buy some lottery tickets.

No but at least Kunitz is willing to stand in front of the goalie, just need to get more clean shots on goal

If changes happen, it needs to start with Bowman. I am growing more impatient with Q as well, but not sure any coach could win with this group...players like Manning, Davidson, Kunitz, and a couple others should either be out of hockey or in the minors.

I disagree. I think it should start with Quenneville and tomorrow is the perfect time. This team is lucky to be where they are so far and regardless of who takes over, somebody needs to. It's a weak soft team built from the top down but the "relentless" approach Q promised just isn't happening. Last night's effort and now tonights should create movement due to total embarrassment.
There's really no reason to keep Q behind the bench any longer. Move him upstairs and show him the respect he's earned in 11 years.

Stan Bowman to follow soon. His moves have been horrific.

And quit the passing, shoot and work for the puck.

Schmaltz and Anisimov are BUMS. Team hasn't won a F'N thing since these two stiffs have been around.

5-2, Kampf. Wicked karem, even better rifle.

Both are soft with no killer instinct or edge

Good for him to get a goal.

We got a game, albeit a bit late

Even the guy that doesn't shoot the puck gets a goal, on the pp no less. What a time to mount a comeback ...

Piss, 6-3. Just when I was getting excited.

I agree, they both lack the impose their will gene, which is so important in hockey

Keith shot blocked....shocking!
