Bolts lose to Caps comments

Created by: BOLTLOVER1
Team: 2019-20 Tampa Bay Lightning
Initial Creation Date: Nov. 29, 2019
Published: Nov. 29, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Not a terrible game despite blowing 3 to 1 Iead in 3rd period. Comments:

1. Vaz questionable again .. beaten solid on short side twice with no screens and through pads .. no tip or odd man rush goals .. had chance on all 4 goals.
2. Point Kuch Palat were great .. Killorn Cirelli were OK .. Stamkos looked like it was his first game in a week.
3. Missed Cernek in 3rd
4. D was OK although thought Hedmen struggled some.
5. 4th line came down to earth. ZERO shots in 15 min ice time each. My concern is how will this line do against "real teams" like Caps and Blues ..

And finally why on earth are Tyler johnson and Joseph playing? .. ice time down to 14 min and 10 min with only 11 forwards but even that is too much. If we lose to Carolina tomorrow night a move HAS to happen cause this team is just plain not good enough to beat solid teams.

Next one is Nashville Predators, when was the last time we lost 4 in a row?Help

Cooper's strat: Try to be more defensive oriented. Result:
4 goals/ game allowed AHL level defense in every meaningful game...
Currently 26th in NHL in GAA stat. Vasi or McEl can't do anything, when we give up 1 million scoring chances and 35 shots/game.

Coburn: slow
Shattenkirk:can't defend
Hedman:injured/bad form last few games
Cernak: suspended/worse year than last year
Rutta:no comment
Serg: good, lots of improvements, but still lots of mistakes... not even close to good enough in the playoffs
McDonagh = good
Schenn: horrible passing skill = weak 3rd pairing D,sometimes he just gives to opponent a free puck for a 100% scoring chance...

Forwards:Still attacking 24/7- except cirelli and point maybe coming back sometimes...
Stamkos:out of form
Johnson:Forgot how to score
Joseph: the new "erne" = ghost

Penalty Kill:
We need to only concentrate on Ovechkin - easy goal allowed when we forgot about him
We need to only concentrate on Svechnikov - easy goal allowed,after multiple shot by him
back to sub 80%... great...

unneccesary penalties:
6 man on the ice penalties
leading 3-1 Kucherov holding for no reason
Serg hitting players from behind for easy penalty when puck is not there...


Yeah i know we can beat red wings, ducks, sabres, kings. But is that enough for anything in the playoffs?

We are now officially a top16 team... so many better teams in the league(at least 15), it's no joke now. Huge pressure on Cooper now. Let's see what happens in next few games.
It's just not good to watch how we defend = not even trying,except for a couple of periods here and there. You need to play full 60 minutes or else you lose to the good teams...
Good teams just shut us down to 3 or fewer goals... it's the same old story... we can score 7 vs rangers,sabres but we can't score 4 vs good teams like Islanders,Capitals in meaningful games, like playoffs... So we just lose most of the times... it's frustrating...
