én már csak röhögtem megint a PP-PK arányon (3-9). gyakorlatilag bíró kedvenceiként többet töltünk emberhátrányban egy meccsen, mint más csapatok egy hét alatt.
Én már megfogadtam,h soha a büdös életbe saját csapatra tippelni nem fogok.Eddig csak ráfizettem.Egyrészt nem is tudnám azt mondani,h nem mi nyerünk hanem az ellen.Másrészt meg ha vesztünk és bejönne a tipp a pénz nem vigasztalna.Így aztán csakis más csapatokra adom a tippet.
Azért annyira megbíztam bennetek, hogy rátok adtam a tippemet a szorzó is 1.45 volt.Ti vagytok a favoritok és remélem ezt a párducok nem cáfolják meg . Most az 1x Go Bolts.
amúgy szerintem is. napok óta azt érzem, hogy az első hazain nagyot játszunk. bár ettől még a védelmünk ugyanolyan ratyi marad. viszont talán visszakapunk néhány PPt most már mi is. ma kiderül.
mindenesetre a jó játéktől még Makó-Jeruzsálemnyire vagyunk
GUY BOUCHER:
"We gave everything we had, and that's what we told the players. We are going to give everything we have, and any team can beat us, plain and simple. But our guys battled, we came back twice and we all know that we are not really a shootout team and it showed again.''
MARC-ANDRE BERGERON:
"We're going to have to find a way. Right now we're on the hard way. It seems like we're a little bit floating from the performance from last year. There's no more easy games, and teams are waiting for us."
STEVEN STAMKOS:
"I think everyone has a lot better in them. So hopefully this little one-day rest before we head on home ice (will help), and hopefully we can feel some fire under all of us and get things going. Because at the end of the day, we'll take the point, but we're not satisfied. It's not up to our standards."
jaja. egy dolog, hogy szar a védelmünk, de már elől is elég impotensek vagyunk. a tegnapi meccsben legalább az értékelhető volt, hogy ismét elkezdtünk kaparni
mondjuk megkaptuk cserébe az idei első PK gólt, de az emberhátrányos mérlegünk így is parádés. PP-t meg továbbra is félnek nekünk adni. gyakorlatilag az átlag 3 is alig jön ki, cserébe az 5 PKval. ráadásul a PPink java csak tört előny, nem teljes 2 perc.
Amúgy legalább pontot szereztünk, viszont Purcellel mivan? Megsérült vagy ennyire szar és nem játszhat? (Azt tudom hogy az Isles ellen Gí hozta le a harmadik harmadra)
All-Star
------------ "Egy marék porban az iszonyatot megmutatom neked."
The Lightning struggled with the Panthers last season, losing four of six meetings (two in shootouts, one in overtime). … Tampa Bay has killed off 21 consecutive penalties to begin the season. … Panthers LW Sean Bergenheim, a postseason star for the Lightning last season, plays against his former team for the first time since signing with Florida as a free agent in the offseason. … Coach Guy Boucher wouldn't say Friday whether Dwayne Roloson or Mathieu Garon would start in goal.
Lightning coach Guy Boucher held a meeting Friday morning rather than practice because the issues facing his team have little to do with X's and O's and strategy.
Rather, Boucher believes it's the players' state of mind. He doesn't see the same relentlessness and desperation that drove them to the Eastern Conference final last season. It's not the "sophomore jinx," it's what he calls "sophomore psychology," believing in last year's results instead of the process it took to get there.
As a result, Tampa Bay (1-2-1) is under .500 heading into tonight's game against the Panthers, which wraps up a season-long five-game road trip.
"Sophomore psychology is thinking you're good, that's why you don't perform," Boucher said. "The problem is, we think we are what we were last year at the end of the year — we're not. We're not at all, we're not the same team. It's a different year, different situation. And we've got to grind it out every game. And even if we play at our best, and play desperate hockey and give everything we've got, we might lose. Why? Because the other team is desperate and wants to make the playoffs and needs to prove something."
Last year's Lightning had a lot to prove, with a new coaching staff, new owner, new general manager, and an organization that hadn't been to the playoffs in years. They thrived in the underdog role. Now, Tampa Bay is the target.
"Now, it's different," Boucher said. "We've accomplished something pretty good, you don't have the same frame of mind, and that's the problem."
That's why the Lightning will likely roll out a different lineup tonight, with forwards Blair Jones and Tom Pyatt expected to be in. Teddy Purcell, who was benched in Thursday's third period for not having the same battle level, could be out.
"You never like to sit on the bench in the third period," Purcell said. "But I have nobody else to blame but myself."
Tampa Bay also needs to stop hurting itself with turnovers, which has plagued it this season. Boucher said the Islanders had 17 scoring chances in Thursday's 5-1 loss, and nine came directly off Lightning giveaways, "trying to manufacture stuff when there's nothing."
"I know for a fact that the players don't realize how much work it took last year, how many games we won by a goal in overtime and shootout, and it took everything we had to win those games," Boucher said. "We never won because of our skill or overpowering the other team — ever. And every time we played that way, we just played the game, we lost."
To get his team to play with more desperation, Boucher tried to "make them realize the big picture" Friday.
"The big picture is we're not going to make the playoffs," Boucher said. "We're far away, but it's that desperation that's the only reason why you make the playoffs, is because you play consistently more desperate than the other team."
Goalie Dwayne Roloson said early-season adversity can be good, and bring the team together. Boucher calls it a building block of success.
"If you panic and can't see the sun behind the clouds, that's where you drift off and you become worse," Boucher said. "This is a great opportunity for us to live adversity and know why we're good, and that's what we need to do, and do it consistently. We aren't doing anything different than last year, we're just starting with a different frame of mind, but it all starts with the frame of mind. That's everything."
"Sorry, but none of the blame for this game goes to Roli. The defense was downright brutal, Hedman especially who was the direct cause of two goals against. I think that might have been Victor's worst game of his career. Both of those goals Roli makes a good save but then Hedman essentially puts it in himself (even literally on one of them) immediately afterwards.
Atleast Garon looked pretty strong, even though he got far more help than Roli did. Maybe Garon gets the start Saturday and Roli takes the home opener.
Have we had ONE full PP yet this year? I swear to god every PP we've had this year has either come after an expiring 4 on 4 situation or we get a PP but then take a penalty ourselves to even it up. I'm dead serious, have we?"
Na! Végre rá tudtam kapcsolódni az eseményekre, ha csak rövid időre is, és egy kicsit vegyesek az érzéseim. A védelem sajnos elég gyatrának tűnik. Olyan gólokat kapunk, amik előtt fogalmunk sincs, hogy hol a korong. Ha nem a Boltsnak drukkolnék, röhögnék rajtuk. A Caps ellen négyszer is vezettünk, a végén mégis elbuktuk a meccset. A Carolina ellen remekül hoztuk a kötelezőt, ugyanez nem mondható el az Islanders ellen. A bostoni lóbaszók ellen pedig nem is lehetett mást várni. Szóval itt az elején már minden volt. Kicsit az az érzésem, hogy benn ragadtunk az előkészületi időszakban.
"We haven't changed anything in our defensive zone coverage since Christmas, and after Christmas [last season] we were great at it. So it's just redoing everything again, getting it down to the details again. . . . In our zone it's not just about sorting it out because we have clips where everybody is in the right position but we are just tentative and they are able to get their shots."
BRUNO GERVAIS:
"I'm sure it will be a little weird after spending my entire career there and in six years I made a lot of friends on and off the ice. It will be weird in the morning when we get there, but I know once the puck drops it's a hockey game and we will need those two points. …No matter what, you don't have any friends on the ice. It's a small league and you always play against a lot of friends every night, and it's the same thing, you need those two points. It will only be special when I dress up in the visiting locker room."
ADAM HALL:
"It definitely is a process, and it starts here in the locker room to get the system down, getting all on the same page and knowing what we have to do on the ice, and the second part is execution. We have a few new guys, so it's getting to know each other, getting to communicate on the ice and getting to that point were it's second nature, where you don't hesitate and you just jump . . . it does take a little bit of time and our job is to make that time as short as possible."
Lightning G Dwayne Roloson, who turned 42 on Wednesday, is expected to start against his former team. He is 4-3-1 with a 2.49 goals-against average in eight starts against the Islanders. … New York could ride the hot hand of Al Montoya, who has allowed just three goals on 50 shots in the first two games (.940 save percentage). … The Lightning went 1-1-2 against the Islanders last season. … Lightning RW Mattias Ritola is expected to be in the lineup for the second straight game.
notes: C Dominic Moore did not practice due to illness. … D Mattias Ohlund had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in Tampa, performed by team medical director Dr. Ira Guttentag.
