HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Optimistic that we will win a single game with our lineup. Oh I thought you figured we would win more and series. Yeah I do think we win one game. Probably game 4. 1 CaliforniaWingsFan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Lime 234 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 We need to start game 3 like we finished game 2. That would make me happy. Let's hate Tampa like 90s Wings hated Colorado. 3 Hockeymom1960, Wingnut1989 and Number19 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Blashill is a product of Holland's failures. This organization is going nowhere until they take a long look at themselves and reassess their philosophy. Unfortunately, if they have not already after six years of mediocrity, I am not overly optimistic they even recongnize the need to adapt. 4 Wingnut1989, MrazekFanBoy, Rick and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manny>Ozzie(by a long shot) 55 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 So Abby and Tampa's Callahan got 10 minute misconducts at the end. That means both are immediately suspended next game? They were far from the only ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrazekFanBoy 223 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 You got two snails playing with a pit bull, you got your golden retriever on the third line and two chihuahuas playing with a bull dog on the second Then you got your Rottweiler on the 4th with a weener dog and a baby pit 2 Wingnut1989 and datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lomekian 201 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Hate to take any positives at all. Larkins first PO goal. Richards and green showing they were worth picking up in FA. Sheehan proving once again he has rather more awareness as a net front guy than Abby. Abby trying to kill anyone in blue.... And that's all. Not going to repeat all the gdt comments, but mrasek needs to play at the joe and smith needs to be back in the lineup. I would not expect it to make any difference. Our roster has been added to since last year, there's is depleted and the gap between the teams has widened. This team just doesn't play well very often anymore and has no bona fide goalscorers Edited April 16, 2016 by lomekian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nyquistfan14 489 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 The utter havoc wrought by their top line has to stop once we have last change. If it doesn't, it will either be because our coach mismanages the change, or because the skill gap between the teams is larger than anyone thought. Either way, we get swept if their top line keeps dominating this way. Their team is wrecked by injuries right now - we have to exploit that lack of depth or we're done. Need to create a shutdown line Abby-glenny- helm to shut down Johnson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Y19 2,488 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Well, we backed our way into the playoffs, but we're going full steam ahead leaving them. We may accomplish the feat in the minimum number of games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylee 727 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 I hate jumping ship when a team is down 0-2. It's a perfectly surmountable challenge for some teams. But this one has no skill, no killer instinct and I'm pretty sure hasn't gone 4-1 at any point this season. Yes, it's surmountable for good teams, something we are not. 1 Rick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yak19 303 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) Let's be serious Tampa is the bottom of the barrel along with us and the wild in the playoffs. Might as well lose and get some young guys playoff experience cause the real cup contenders would sweep both teams at the same time.

barabbas16 499 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 I really felt like they should've had game 1. Never felt like they were really in game 2. Maybe the hotter heads prevailing at the end will light a fire. While I don't hang the losses solely on Howard like others, I do agree that Mrazek should start game 3. Smith should be in as well. Andersson should sit for Jurco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kliq 3,755 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Out of curiosity, who was our second line tonight? CBC had it listed as the Richards line, but online I'm seeing the Sheahan line. Also, when I see Richards only played 13min, I question if that was our second line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
