beekay414 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Quote #9 Taylor Hall (A) - #13 Nico Hischier - #21 Kyle Palmieri #90 Marcus Johansson - #37 Pavel Zacha - #17 Patrick Maroon #20 Blake Coleman - #19 Travis Zajac (A) - #23 Stefan Noesen #44 Miles Wood - #11 Brian Boyle - #18 Drew Stafford #6 Andy Greene (C) - #45 Sami Vatanen #2 John Moore - #28 Damon Severson #8 Will Butcher - #12 Ben Lovejoy #35 Cory Schneider #1 Keith Kinkaid That's what it's looking like for tonight. Kinda pissed to see Lovejoy out there and not Mueller. I don't care about RHD vs LHD, Lovejoy blows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks that his first year with us was so derailed. Hopefully (for his sake and the team's) the concussions aren't recurring. I'd like to see him in there, Bratt maybe as well. Take out Gibbons and Noesen. Throw Nico on the PK (he's not been awful at it when he's been out there from what I have seen) along with Grabner, then Zajac and Coleman on the other. We have to assume that we need to score 4-5 goals in order to win lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, really pissed that Lovejoy keeps getting trotted out there but Mueller and Santini are in the press box. So damn dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Lovejoy has to have something on Hynes & Shero, man. This is straight blackmail. Has to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh god, and he went the exact opposite of what I wanted and put in Stafford, who has absolutely no reason to be in the lineup against a team as fast and skilled as Tampa. I don't know, maybe Hynes is hoping he will sit on Stamkos and prevent him from moving or something. That makes no sense. And damn, Lovejoy simply should not be in there. What in the world. I think Mueller has been fairly solid overall - I wouldn't consider him the first, second or third biggest problem on the defensive end (I'd still say those are Moore, Lovejoy and Severson, though the latter makes up for this a little with puck movement and slightly superior offensive prowess). Hell, at this point, I'd roll with Santini over either Moore or Lovejoy. He had some struggles earlier in the season, but nothign that was unexpected given the youth, and it's not like Moore and Lovejoy aren't out there making mistakes a lot...

Forge Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Stafford gets a great one timer chance on the power play and completely whiffs lol. Why is he in the lineup? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 17, 2018 Author Share Posted April 17, 2018 Man, how do you blow that opportunity? Noesen needs to make a better pass and Coleman needs...well... better puck skills. We should be winning this damn game already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things considered, much more even period between the two teams, more in line with what I expected in games 1 and 2. And that's with the Lightning doing a pretty solid job on Hall so far...and then Hall breaks free and hits the crossbar. Damn. But if we don't start coveringn that trailing slot pass between Palat and Johnson, I'm going to be furious. They had another opportunity at that.

Forge Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Man, I really wish Zajac was a better offensive player. He gets some opportunities, but doesn't have the wheels or the finish to really break out with them. He's the kind of player you need, but man, I want him to be so much more.
