Z is no longer a world class player...Glenny and Sheahan were more dangerous than he was. He should retire.

Stamkos the leagues second best goal scorer put up 0 goals in a 7 games series against a team with a weak defense. He's definitely not a world class player and should retire too by your logic. >.> Retire at the age of 25 too! Wooo!

teams will fear this team next season when our D is stacked after trading Jimmy, Weiss, Smith and wishfully Q and E.

Phanuef - Kronwall

Martin - Dekeyser

Zidz - Kindl

Jensen

(Marchy, Ouellet, Sproul one more year in GR)

LOL. I forgot Weiss was even on this team. I wonder if he even watched this game?

Here's the thing about Nyquist and Tatar. Yes, we need to be patient. But we have to be realistic as well and not rely on them. As of right now, we know neither one is a playoff performer. Therefore, when building this team, Holland needs to make sure we have two goal scorers (ideally) who we can rely on to replace them. Dat depth, tho.

Defense was actually a bright spot tonight. I have no issues with any of the players tonight. But over the whole season? Ericsson needs to be a #4 again. Kindl and probably Smith need to go. They are simply too inconsistent. But I'm tired of the offense disappearing by taking one-and-done-shots. I'm tired of...well...everything.

They're not a bad team. They're not a good enough team either.

More than ever after this season though, I think it's a colossal shame that we squandered so many of the prime years of Dats and especially Z. I'm afraid that side of things isn't going to get any better.

I hope Paquete or Callahan are breaking his damn wrist before that idiot does it to Johnson or Stamkos.

At least Tampa has the chance to go deep and change the rangers.

Subban is going to have a questionable hit in that series probably on Johnson and he won't be suspended. Calling it now lol

Damn ... we're screwed. Fire Holland.

Z isn't going anywhere but his role needs to be redefined, he's turning into a top 6/9 guy who can kill penalties, play on the pp and win some faceoffs. Reminds me so much of Yzerman in his last few years. Still can help but need to be realistic about it.

Stamkos has been criticized in the playoffs before. Difference is, he's young and has upside. Of course he shouldn't retire. Zetterberg probably shouldn't retire either, but there's really no upside there. He's hit his peak and needs a Nyquist or Tatar to take over like he and Datsyuk did when the previous generation stars got old.

That I will agree with lol... The team was in Florida, close to his old stomping ground, wonder if he watched from some seedy humid strip joint.

Ideally as soon as possible.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tyler Johnson isn't heard from again this post-season. We only failed to keep him locked down a few times (after they purposely injured our Shadow on him). Bigger, stronger teams with more than one answer for him could easily shut him down. Or he could continue to blow up, but I don't see even 6 more goals the rest of the way through for him.

Honestly we need to re-evaluate a lot of players' roles. Helm, for instance, is not a top 6 player.

On another note, am I the only one really leery about Blashill? If Babcock is part of the problem, I'm not sure bringing in a clone is the right move. If we need an overhaul from strategy on up to players, bringing in a coach with an identical strategy isn't the way to start.

First things first this off-season. Re-sign Dan Cleary. The rest will fall into place from there.

Hey, if he was in tonight he would've banked one in from the side wall to tie the game, and jam the puck through Bishops pads to win it in OT (*sigh* I miss the good ole days of 6-7 years ago haha)
