In person all I can say is... oof.

This is where you'd love somebody to stand up and feed Paquette his teeth. Who cares about the penalty or game....send a message.

First period stats:

CF% - Tampa 61.76% to 38.24
12-6 advantage in scoring chances
5-1 advantage in high danger chances

(frank)ing terrible.

Paquette: 2 minutes for assault and battery.

Horny: 2 minutes for being near a dive.

Tampa's seen what Philly and the Caps got away with, why wouldn't they try the same? They have nothing to lose, and a 2 goal lead to spare, in the event our power play ever wakes up.

Assault is a little inflammatory for my liking. We did get away with a high stick...but no excuse for allowing a slew foot and an even up call because u dont like players chirping.

Ok, not quite assault but the point was there's getting your money's worth (Paquette) and there's getting hosed for nothing (Hornqvist).

Well they fixed it...calling that

Tampa has great goaltending. Imagine the pens with that kinda tending.

Much better period so far. Dominated 4-on-4 and the PP looks good for a change. Let's see about 5v5 now.

Schultz and Letang getting time together now ....JJ and Rudy as well ..

And they switched it back... I would rather

Schultz - Letang
Petts - Marino
JJ - Rudy

Another poor pinch. This is sh*t they weren't doing earlier in the year. Sully needs to turn over some tables and throw some sh*t around at the end of the period.

I saw that, too, but I think it was just for the 4v4.

Shultz letang were on pp which is wise...letang as the only defender is always sketchy.

Sloppy. This team has been really sloppy the past 3 games. Breakdowns and poor decisions everywhere.

It's just not a good idea to pair up your two lowest-IQ defensemen. There are other options.

Well this game is legitimately disappointing.

100 percent expected...we have been playing terribly whilst pulling wins out of our ass...that just wasnt gonna happen with Tampa.

It was definitely for 4 on 4 but I could of swore they were given one 5 on 5 look as well ...maybe not

This is what I would go with next game at least to start...

Riikola/Letang
Petts/Marino
JJ/Schultz

Geno is out to lunch this game.

Poor Matt Murray.

Geno Crosby rust Shultz and letang at 5 on 5...umm we ain't winning if we need to do that...the left overs are not gonna hold tampa back.

Sully needs to shake up the lines. Sid's line is putrid tonight.....all perimeter. This is where I'd give Tavev a look on the 1st line. Use some speed and tenacity to open up space.

I think sid has had geno for most of this night...between 4 on 4...pps and these loaded up 5 on 5s
