    Ah, so it’s going to be one of those games. I don’t know if I have the strength to hate watch today

  2. Lmao, this team has to figure this shit out soon

  3. AdamAptor

    The trend lately has been our opponents get goals on every single dumb shot they take and we can’t buy a goal to save our lives

  4. BrolexRolex

    So who’s gonna tell the boys the game started at 2

  5. Moooobleie

    I love Vasy, my fav player and imho should have won both Conn Smythes. But daaamn he is having a rough comeback. Not looking good at all.

  6. Basil_Normal

    What in the actual fuck was Dehaan doing there. Pass the damn puck

  7. Intelligent_Limit462

    I still think Cooper constantly changing lines is not optimal. Put Hagel on top line move Stamkos to 2nd. Defensive pairings we’re screwed on. No pairing has looked good.

  8. mattj1621

    Can we please have the Jeannot Eysimmont Motte line back please

  9. AdamAptor

    Assist for Kuch. At this point I’m hoping Kuch gets an Art Ross. That’s my Cup this year.

  10. Beauty_Weeman

    The fact Kucherov is at 25 helpers already and the team has had this rough of a start is honestly insane.

  11. BigBuddha15

    It would be peak Vasy to become a god after giving up 3 to start the game

  12. Deadbolt2023

    Man, where would this team be without Kuch this season?

  13. Beauty_Weeman

    Not sure what people expect vasy to do when the defense just leave the entire blue line wide open

  14. InkedInspector

    I think this 2nd quarter of the season will determine the path forward for JBB. Are they a tweak or two away from being contenders again or do we need a retool. I do not see a rebuild on the horizon, the fact remains there is a young and healthy core still on team control long term, but we have to nail this transition from the older members of the core. As much as we all wanted to see Stammer and Hedman ride off in Bolts jerseys still contending, it may not be the reality.

  15. brgroves

    VaSy WiLl FiX EVeRyThInG. Vasy is still top tier, but the people saying that before he came back clearly didn’t understand how absolute dog shit this defense is….

  16. Then_Ship1329

    I love how this slump comes IMMEDIATELY after the Carolina 8-2 game just for maximum pain.

  17. Basil_Normal

    This team is wasting an all time great season from Kucherov

  18. Bigstakes7287

    Maybe Dallas is still bitter about losing the final?

  19. MmmmCrispyBacon

    Holy shit, we are bad. I’ll love this team til I die but I’m struggling to find any joy in watching them lately…

  20. brgroves

    Vasy should have had a couple, but this is just one of those games where NOTHING has gone right

  21. jefftakeover

    Just turned the game as they scored 6th. I feel like Abe Simpson walking in and out of the burlesque house when Bart was working.

  22. bobjohnsonO78

    Something needs to change behind the bench. This team has too much potential and talent to be playing like this (except the bottom pairing D). Kuch doesn’t deserve this.

  23. brgroves

    Another 3 on 2 because Stammer was lazy on the backcheck….

  24. Moooobleie

    Barring a miracle this shit is over as fuck, but I’d like to see at least 2 more goals out of us just to prove there is still a pulse

  25. I blame it on the Magic, because it’s obvious the Magic and Lightning can’t be good at the same time.

  26. bullskull

    Wow, we look like hot garbage out there.
    Last few losses, we played well. This is something else.

  27. BigBuddha15

    The fact they haven’t pulled Vasy tells me they anticipated some growing pains coming off of back surgery, which makes sense. They need to play him as much as possible

  28. No-Willingness-5403

    Soo need Hagel bumped up & Stamkos back on the second line? 😅

  29. rhodesleadnowhere

    I checked my phone. You have got to be kidding me. Excuse my language, but what the fuck

  30. motivatedtuna

    Atleast these NHL casters arent shitting on Vasy

  32. Bolts_Big_Cat

    Vasy having to be pulled is a fucking embarrassment on the coaching or the team leadership. I don’t know which one it is but is has to be addressed.

  33. LaurelGourdo

    Can’t wait to read the dumbass posts from bandwagoners “is JJ better than Vasy?’ lol

    Make my words boys

  34. Basil_Normal

    Pulling Vasy tells me Cooper is fed up with the play. Personally I love it from him. He gives the team a ton of rope when it comes to stretches of bad play, but enough is enough. I’d start stapling other guys to the bench too. Ice time needs to be earned

  35. PaulRyansWifesSon

    Kuch diving to make a play on defense with less than 10 minutes in the game where we’re down by 5. That’s leadership.

  36. Pleasant-Day-7099

    Unreal. I guess this is payback for the Carolina game.

    We have 2 days to get our shit together and give it right back to them Monday.

  37. GrayJinjo

    Let’s go boys! Don’t let ‘em score double digits! You can do it
