Harbingers

Tampa’s been playing dirty all night. We’ve been polite. Paa deck someone.

How was that not a penalty?

Svech. Foegele. It’s Vas you’re going to miss 100% of the shots you don’t make. Just pull the trigger. Quit trying to get fancy.

Get nasty Paquette. #AvengePaquettesnose.

I feel like they’ve had that Svech graphic all season.

Mr.... Svech ni koff!

Ok. Power play. Do you’d fugging thing.

Did anyone just see their player hold Martinook stick for most of the face off and after?

We need a fight.

Ok boys. This is your test. Get out there and get physical or you ain’t winning this one.

Ya we didn’t wake up.

If we don’t wake up this period than yes.

Willis is either ripped off his ass or drunk as Fug and it’s only period one.

Paa needs to come out and level pointe or someone to start period 2.

Twice now. They are skating at 120% we are skating at 60%. Lucky Mrazek bailed us out there.

We are skating at like 60% too. Solid designed play but we got to get quicker and more physical real quick.

Slavin with a rare mistake though in the end. I have never seen him get caught that far up the ice.

God dammit defense.

His confidence still isn’t 100%

Svech should have shot that.

Ya Foegele I think it was had a double ping.

Ya were at about a 4 we need to turn the physicality up to about a 7.

They do have a couple injuries out. I imagine they will play Vas both these games though. So I expect some serious play from our forwards and an extra physical game from the blue line. Looks like Bean is having a time-out game but don’t know how I feel about it. I think he should get the chance to prove himself better tonight.

Ned was on point. He did get one or two post assists. But he played solid throughout. The soft goal that everyone is blaming bean for is really a 50/50 on Ned in my opinion. Bean fugged it up originally and didn’t make the proper pass. He was gassed coming off a penalty kill(I think or a power play) one of the two. But Ned was out of position to make the save and left a wide open glove side on net. After the goal it took Ned a dramatic fall on a puck that snuck through to get his zen back a minute or so later and was solid there after. Paa and Slavin did save his ass a few times but it’s good to see our defense doing their job in back to back games. Ned was challenged both up close and from the blue line a lot last night and stood firm on both. Bean has almost turned into a liability since Paa joined the roster but I think it’s cause he’s trying to emulate Paa when he should just be focusing on his style and letting the big Fin play rough.

Nice breakdown though. Thanks dude.
