Are we blaming all of this on Coyle not back checking on the third goal? What else did he do?Thanks Coyle
His line had several chances to get a clean clear and instead iced it multiple times, leading to the penalty.Are we blaming all of this on Coyle not back checking on the third goal? What else did he do?
The other bad play by Coyle on that play was going so low on offensive rush. Carlo was ahead of him and in the middle of the ice - no need for Coyle to be the 4th man below the dots there. Dumb play combined with lazy effort to make up for it after led to the goal.Good news is that as awesome as Tampa is, the Bruins blew that through their own errors.
And for all the shit Coyle is getting on the Hedman goal, someone check wtf Wags was doing on that play...puck watching as 91 skates right by him. That was a shit play top to bottom, several guys blew that.
Also Carlo absolutely can’t miss high there. That’s literally the only thing he can’t do and he did it.The other bad play by Coyle on that play was going so low on offensive rush.

Eh I’m not gonna blame him. He wasn’t in “close my eyes and shoot it” mode there, same as in the 2nd period when it worked.Also Carlo absolutely can’t miss high there. That’s literally the only thing he can’t do and he did it.
Word.Having 5d, 2 of which are AHL defensemen, caught up to them in the 3rd. Combine that with shit effort from some forwards, a horrendous call on McAvoy, and a very talented team in Tampa and I’m not surprised. Or discouraged.
Full strength the B’s can play with them. Will hopefully be a great series.
That Kucherov goal was a goddamn snipe too. My word what a goal.
Normally I love defenseman jumping up but not with a 2 goal lead against that team. Their just too good if it goes the other way.Eh I’m not gonna blame him. He wasn’t in “close my eyes and shoot it” mode there, same as in the 2nd period when it worked.
Honestly he was jumping up too much tonight. Happened on the PK in the 3rd tonight too and almost cost them. I like the aggressiveness, but not against Tampa in the 3rd when there’s only 5 D.
If they had Miller tonight instead of Kampfer they win. That’s the only positive I’m taking from this one.Lightning fans are great overall. Actually giving and taking shit all game, unlike the mausoleum that was Sunrise.
Kampfer on the ice in the last 5 killed them. Onwards

Amalie Arena is the anti-Trop. Great fans in an equally great venue.Lightning fans are great overall. Actually giving and taking shit all game, unlike the mausoleum that was Sunrise.

That was like one of those goals that a B league guy subbing in for a low C level men’s league scores before his buddy on the team tells him to tone it down a little. Just ridiculous.Like seriously. Coming down on a 2 on 1 on your off wing and going far side/blocker side off the joint at full power is just a cocky “fuck you I have over 120 points this year” goal.
Yeah, I don’t know what that’s all about.Cassidy throwing Tuukka under the bus a bit here?
"He got beat by good shots, but at some point you need a save. You hope the last one."
It's possible that the Bruins didn't make any more mistakes than usual. But TB cashes them in. Stamkos and Kucherov (27 minutes!) are lethal.Good news is that as awesome as Tampa is, the Bruins blew that through their own errors.

The two skaters that ... didn't skate ... really made that goal inevitable. I know Stamkos technically missed but Tuukka had him squared up perfectly. Had either Bruin back checkers (I didn't catch who they were) made any attempt to defend, there would not have been a goal. You just can't make mistakes like that against one of the NHL's best teams in years.Yeah, I don’t know what that’s all about.
2 Stamkos snipes, Kucherov snipe, Hedman tap in after Rask made a breakaway save on Stamkos and 2 skaters dogged it on the back check. The GWG was not a softy either and they played the last part of the 3rd under siege in their own end. Really weird spot for Butch to call out Rask.
Because at some point against a great team you need a save that nobody’s supposed to make to win. Their guy made one on Pastrnak, our guy didn’t up the other end, and then the game was tied.Yeah, I don’t know what that’s all about.

I remember Tuukka making a glove side to his left (shooter's right) that I thought was pretty remarkable...lots of traffic, and that thing was going straight inBecause at some point against a great team you need a save that nobody’s supposed to make to win.

That was a nice stop...doesn't matter he never saw it, he was in the right spot. I thought of that too, but we're asking him to make one more. Fair or not.I remember Tuukka making a glove side to his left (shooter's right) that I thought was pretty remarkable...lots of traffic, and that thing was going straight in
