ECQF Game 2 Post-GDT: at Tampa Bay 5, Red Wings 2

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.

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

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

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.

Abby is playing playoff hockey... the way it was and should be played

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.

We're officially the team that loses and goons it up at the end.

Remember when it was the opposite when we were a contender.

I don't feel too bad about it considering all the interference and sneaky scummy things TBA had been doing all night.

Wait.. that's what they said about us.. :tomato:

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.

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.
