People will blame this series on Lindback, but the truth is Tampa has been outclassed in every area except hitting, their D has been completely trash and they simply can't handle Montreals forward depth.

While you're not wrong, that's just the way they've played all year in front of Lindback. They don't play that way in front of Bishop. They clearly do not have confidence in Lindback, and it's obvious why. It's a domino effect on the whole team.

Even if Lindback isn't the sole reason why the Lightning have lost every game so far, he's also the reason why they haven't won a game yet either. Sometimes you just need a goaltender to steal a game, and build confidence off of that. Lindback is completely incapable of doing that.

That was about 100x weaker than Datsyuk's.

He certainly had less in front of him.

Also, Dougie is still awkward as fuck and Datsyuk looks like a god with the puck.

 

[Solo]

Datsyuk might well be the most talented person on the ice in the Wings-Bruins series.
Unfortunately, the next 6-8 most talented people all play for Boston.

Might be? He IS by a long shot. Dude is one of the Top 5 players in the entire league. But you're 100% correct about everything else.

 

[yuraya]

Wings look terrible

 

[Razorskin]

Quincey getting a shot is so remarkable it's on the scoresheet.

That's because Wings only have 1 shot...

 

[CrazedArabMan]

This is creeping very close to "screw it, and do something else territory". Team has 1 shot to 8, losing on a shot Howard should have had, absolutely no control of the puck, no energy, no anything. It's just one giant PP in Detroit's end since they can't get it out, that's not a fun game to watch as a Wings fan, they better turn it around quick, and by quick I mean right now.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yeah...it's not productive to daintily leave the puck in front of the net.

 

[Red_Man]

Worlds Greatest Fan CrazedArabMan has returned!

The bigger problem is that the 3-4 least talented people all play for Detroit.

We look really outmatched. Though I'm not surprised our defense is struggling, I'm more surprised every forward except Datsyuk has gone MIA. Might be a good idea for Babcock to actually change the lines back to what was working...

This is where not having a Lidstrom like D man really hurts us. Also missing Z isn't great either.

Red Wings are the definition of drizzling shits right now. You are at home show some heart

I'm pretty sure Monokuma would be a Leafs fan.

...that game hasn't started? They can't have that late of a start.

Nope, hasn't started. Should be starting in the next few minutes. MSG is in their last pre-puck drop commercial break.

 

[Wingfan19]

...that game hasn't started? They can't have that late of a start.

They changed the start time to 8:00, last night.

Or having an interested Frazen. That guy has been invisible for 25 games now.

But missing a true no. 1 D man has been there issue since nick retired. Kronwall is good but he isn't a number one. Missing Big E on his pairing is really starting to show too.

 

[Acid08]

I'm pretty sure Monokuma would be a Leafs fan.

Hahahahahaha or a Canucks fan. So much despair.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

lol

 

[Var]

Let's go, Flyers!

 

[UberTag]

I'm pretty sure Monokuma would be a Leafs fan.

Monokuma likes to bring despair to opposing teams when it really hurts.
He can't be a Leafs fan because they seldom play in games that actually matter.

Plus, he's a bear.

 

[BY2K]

Not cool there, Stamkos.

EDIT: Wow, Stamkos is angry.

 

[Sanjuro]

Caron!

Caron did something useful!?!?

He lives!

 

[ActStriker]

Caron did something useful!?!?

 

[lamaroo]

Stamkos pulling a vintage Lucic there.

 

[Wingfan19]

And that's game. Wings are just not even trying right now.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

TSN.ca already shows Lindback with a win/loss record of 0-3-1.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Never seen Stamkos that pissed before.

 

[Kifimbo]

Only two minutes ? Guess you can punch someone after the whistle.

 

[Red_Man]

The fuck is that bitch shit from Stamkos? He's better then that.

 

[pringles]

Well fuck. This game could be ugly. Wings need to change something for next game. Not sure what though. But both Lashoff and Kindl should not be playing in Game 4.

 

[jello44]

Carcillo confirmed in tonight, replacing Fast on the Richards line.

Carcillo confirmed to score GWG.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Can they please do the Markov-Subban shot again when on the PP, it would work.

edit: wtf

 

[Razorskin]

noooo

 

[BY2K]

WHAT THE FUCK!?

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

 

[lamaroo]

Fucking Emelin you dumbass

 

[ZeroGravity]

FUCK YES PALAT

FINALLY A GOD DAMN BREAK

 

[shadowkat]

That's a goal?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

WTF

Momentum swing.

 

[F0rneus]

What the fuck, seriously?

 

[Kifimbo]

And here's the turning point.

 

[Singularity42]

Well fuck. This game could be ugly. Wings need to change something for next game. Not sure what though. But both Lashoff and Kindl should not be playing in Game 4.

They shouldn't be playing at all. Lashoff at best is a 7th D. And Kindl just needs to be ran out of town. He can take Kyle Fucking Quincy with him.

 

[MetatronM]

Zucc had a golden chance for a goal and couldn't believe it to the point that he couldn't even get the shot off.

 

[lamaroo]

Three guys stand around while Palat pushes that in.

 

[Ricker]

Unfortunatly that's a goal...

 

[Razorskin]

Three guys stand around while Palat pushes that in.

That's not true


Gorges helped push it in too.
