#Notes
* Can we please stop it with the stupid coverage mistakes? 5/6 goals against so far these playoffs are because of our mistakes, and the 6th is an empty netter

Typical Bolts playoff loss. Score two goals in about a 5 minute span and do nothing for the other 55
Better team won, again.
This team has absolutely no chance in this series with Kucherov and the top line showing up.
We haven’t been the better team, period
Dating back to the Shattenkirk goal vs Dallas, our playoff OT record is now 1-11. We get so close and the games just slip away from us. Brutal.
That’s what happens when you miss 2 wide open and can’t score with a 4 minute pp[](https://twitter.com/FvckToddG/status/1782963346561523840)
Kucherov needs to figure it the fuck out. He is turning the puck over every time he touches it
Dumba and Tony chances in the second are going to haunt me. The team left Vasy out to dry in the third and OT, especially in OT when they couldn’t get possession at all OR clear the puck. They showed they can keep it close, now it’s time to show up for all 3 periods at home
Not going to win an overtime by standing around and watching in your own end
The ending score was close, sure, but Florida has looked like the better team for 7 periods.
man its rough being a Bolts and Magic fan this postseason
Knew we’d be down 2-0 as soon as it went to OT. Legitimately, I don’t even remember last time we won a playoff OT.
This is so painful man… you win some cups, then they just bleed you dry with salary cap issues, then you just watch slow playoff deaths like this…. Man I really hope Coop lights some kinda fire under the boys back home
I think it may be time for Tampa to release the goon squad. Glennie Watson and jeannot fourth line third line leave chaffe and mikey and paul let them run amuck
Kuch a liability on the ice for the entire game
honestly since the OT game 1 vs the Avs we just haven’t found a way to win close games in the playoffs. I don’t know what the fuck kucherov is doing right now. we might be cooked
We can get the goals it’s just we can’t keep the momentum. Take back the momentum, take back the series
As good as *that* save was, it felt like Dumba was too complacent shooting the puck there
That Dumba miss is haunting. We had our chances to win this one but they made the plays. Not scoring on a 4 minute PP will get you beat.
JBB needs to turn this whole D core over except for Hedman and maybe Lilleberg this offseason. They just aren’t good enough. Can’t move the puck, can’t break it out of the zone, not particularly physical and too much standing around. Lot of fat to cut
matt dumba, be prepared to speak mormon
4 minute power play…….for the supposed #1 pp team
and of course the best chance of the game lands on dumba’s stick and he fucks it up
like FUCKING COME ON IT COULDN’T HAVE BEEN LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE THERE?
Um, hot take, but the home team gets last change and is favored to win. We lost by 1 goal each game and everyone’s talking about rebuilding?
I will not be purchasing Saturday tickets now lol
I kept my expectations very low for the post season but it still hurts man, still hurts
Auston Watson needs to be in next game. We have literally no muscle on this team.
I believe my exact words on this forum going into the series series was, “if we can play well defensive, and limit their chances, I like our odds”.
Doesn’t look like we’re doing any of it 🤣
23 SOG tonight, 19 on Sunday. It’s embarrassing.
Gonna be a real fuckin early exit if we don’t figure shit the fuck out, immediately.
I don’t expect us to win the series, but I hope we don’t get cooked in 4 games, don’t wanna get swept at home
Why am I not surprised a panther was on top of Vasy on the gwg
Sure we can be reasonable about this loss, but I’m blaming people posting the god damn curses. THEY NEVER WORK. WE ARE 0-2 WITH THEM FFS. STOP POSTING THEM.
I’m not surprised we’re losing these games against the Panthers, I’m surprised the scores are as tight as they‘ve been. I never had high expectations having sat through the lacklustre regular season.. this team is tired and barely hanging in there tbh and we’ve known this for months
Why is everyone hating on Dumba? He put the puck squarely on net and Bob made an unreal save. Not Dumba’s fault. Was he supposed to predict that Bob would dive back across the crease and put his arm right where it was, so Dumba should have picked a different spot to place the puck? 99/100 times that shot goes in. Bob just robbed him.
I miss McDonough
