#Notes

* For fucks sake stop imploding defensively

  1. Vasy let in a softie he shouldn’t have and got screwed over by a high stick but this isn’t on him. The blue line is AWFUL. It’s the same fuck ups every single night, going after pucks our guys have no chance for, unable or unwilling to help the goalies, getting blown by the other teams players, and shot selection has fallen off hard. FIX IT COOP AND JBB.

    Otherwise I hope the boys are up for some duck hunting Tuesday

    Cooper keeping Paul chained to Maroon/Vlad for no reason is fucking killing me. Please, for the love of all, let him play with Stamkos again. I don’t care if it means Cirelli has to play with Maroon sometimes, I just can’t continue to watch Paul’s efforts wasted because Maroon is too slow to keep up with him.

    I know they say you should never go to bed mad. But seeing as this game ended after 1am, I’m going to bed mad. Not at the guys, but I’m mad as fuck at the refs.

    Absolute #1 bullshit.

  4. Gregx007

    Im just going to start assuming we are intentionally losing games since we are going to make the playoffs at this point

  5. Procedure_Dunsel

    One goal against took 3 guys fucking up to accomplish, One goal Vasy just should have had, and another one that was just bad coverage. Game was quite winnable, but we paid for damn near every mistake tonight. Not thrilled with the officiating, but we made enough blunders to lose it without them.

  6. big-daddio

    I was watching the game no sound at a public place. Can somebody explain the explanation on why that goal with a high stick was allowed??? Clearly above the crossbar.

    Also on the pk when Cirelli crashed into the net, wasn’t he tripped twice and hooked on the same play and no call. Or am I missing something.

  7. JustineLeah

    Due to technical difficulties we had to watch the Vegas broadcast. Their announcers were *very* complimentary of our team, our record, Coop, really the entire franchise. They were incredulous that Coop had never won the Jack Adams.

  8. ApatheticJellyfish

    Pain. That first period was egregious.

  9. It was a great game, honestly. It was definitely very winnable, this Vegas team is very good right now and we just simply got punished for every little mistake we made which doesn’t always happen.
