Yeah you're role as the big bodied forward is to do just that. Refs continue to let Tampa board and you don't respond someone's going to the hospital. Good for Ritchie shitty by the stripes.If Ritchie doesn’t do anything there he’s get roasted for not responding.
This is absolutely true. I haven’t listened to a second of Eddie O and am much better for it.I’m telling ya turn the sound off. Makes the game so much better.
When you’re in a pivotal game, losing, and playing against a PP that’s scoring for fun? Absolutely not. Especially engaging a piece of shit like Paquette- zero chance he drops them. It was a dumb play by Ritchie given the circumstances.Nah. That’s a good go by him.
Your teammate gets boarded in a series the other team has been taking liberties every game, you try to engage.
At some point you need to stand up for your teammates who are getting taken out.When you’re in a pivotal game, losing, and playing against a PP that’s scoring for fun? Absolutely not.

Yep. No issue with Ritchie doing his job.At some point you need to stand up for your teammates who are getting taken out.
It’s apparent the league wants Tampa to win this year for the storyline.This broadcast is absolute garbage. What the fuck game are they watching?
Even the studio people. It’s insane.This broadcast is absolute garbage. What the fuck game are they watching?
Clearly. They want Tampa / Vegas. Tampa is loaded with talent and doesn’t need the help.It’s apparent the league wants Tampa to win this year for the storyline.
They’ve been doing that. I’m 100% for this mentality...I’ve gotten my ass handed to me before for sticking up for bad hits. But given the circumstances I outlined, it was a bad play there. Tampa goes up 2-0 on a PPG there and that might as well be the series imo.At some point you need to stand up for your teammates who are getting taken out.
Sure, but in the moment I’d rather see that response from Ritchie than letting that hit stand. It shows me they’re engaged and fighting for each other.They’ve been doing that.

I don't know. I'm typically anti-responding, but Tampa's been running them all series. At some point enough is enough.They’ve been doing that.

Tampa has been doing whatever they want to do with no intervention from the refs, it is infuriating.I don't know. I'm typically anti-responding, but Tampa's been running them all series. At some point enough is enough.
What story line? Am I forgetting something?It’s apparent the league wants Tampa to win this year for the storyline.
Funny, I’m typically pro-response.I don't know. I'm typically anti-responding, but Tampa's been running them all series. At some point enough is enough.
I’d guess “greatest team ever” finding retribution after upset last year?What story line? Am I forgetting something?
Getting swept last year to cup this year.What story line? Am I forgetting something?
IMO, too much individual effort that’s easily getting stopped versus working the puck around to the open guy.Better possession at 5x5 (65%), but they only managed 1 scoring chance and allowed 6. Getting absolutely no offense. I think the only scoring chance was the Carlo one timer from the near half boards.
I would think NBC would care more about getting major markets in the finals.Getting swept last year to cup this year.
99 times out of 100 after hit and response like that both end up in the box. Ritchie has to respond there.When you’re in a pivotal game, losing, and playing against a PP that’s scoring for fun?

You know, great point- I hadn’t considered that Ritchie wouldn’t realize they blew that call. It seemed an obvious boarding99 times out of 100 after hit and response like that both end up in the box. Ritchie has to respond there.
