Opening Round: Tampa vs Columbus

[Zee]

Looks like Tampa loses game 3 and will trail 3-0 in the series.  CBJ score an empty net to make it 3-1 with 60 secs left.  Without kucherov and Hedman they were outplayed.  What a story.

Tampa is garbage, they should have fired that coach and traded a bunch of their floaters away

Haha. They have got out worked and Bob has been better then Vas. That simple. Looks good on them.

Excuses for a team tying all time wins record.

CBJ up by 1. TBay has not responded well at all from last game. Probably hard to do without your best forward or Dman. Stamkos hasn't done much this series yet. If he were on the Leafs he'd already be traded.

Stamkos was almost traded by Stevie Y when he was in charge. Stevie Y isn't a fan of his and neither am I. So glad the Leafs never signed him.

Yet they resigned him. Go figure.

Stevie Y was pressured into signing him. He didn't want to.

Excuses? Fact is they've been outworked.

Source? Because it doesn't make sense to me. What don't you like about him exactly?

And hey, same sentence could've been regarding Kucherov who's also done nothing. Don't tell me you wouldn't want him on your team either.

Should've added /s to the end of that. Continuing the joke from Zee.

Every year my bro-n-law and nephew are Stevie Y's guests for a Tampa/Leafs game and he told them that himself. They were absolutely shocked that he was so candid about him and others.
As for not liking him. Just was never a big fan of his. Maybe it's because he scores a lot against us lol? I don't know. I do like Kucherov and Point.

When Hedman was concussed at the end of the season I said that could be a big blow for them. You can't underestimate losing your stud defenceman in the Cap era. This League is that close now. Look at Veges last year. Hard work, speed and goaltending can get you far.

Maybe Hedman was still kind of feeling the effects? I know they have protocol and all that but he hasn't looked the same in the playoffs.

No doubt, a concussion can make a superstar seem ordinary for 6 months.

Has to be because he doesn't look even remotely like himself.

A Columbus win tonight and the door opens up pretty wide for the winner of the Leafs/Bruins series. I suppose the Blue Jackets will still be a formidable opponent. Even if they sweep tonight, if I'm the Leafs or Bruins, Id still prefer to meet them over the bolts.

 

[Kin]

I know I say some version of this every year but I just can't imagine who could look at this and not think it devalues the entire competition.

 

[Zee]

It's 2-0 Columbus and Tampa doesn't have a shot on goal yet.

 

[Guilt Trip]

3-1 now...

 

[lc9]

NHL is some kind of dumb with these offsides calls. CBJ gets robbed from going up 3-1.  Wasn?t conclusive, they reversed it anyway.  They have to get rid of that. 

 

[Zee]

Good challenge on that offside. If Tampa wins this game that was huge.
