9/25 SCF Game 4 vs Tampa (7PM CT) - ONE HEADLIGHT(NING)

[5minmajor]

Stars have forgotten how to handle a forecheck

[The Frugal Gourmet]

coming into this series they seemed to have such a great transition out of the zone too. all gone. maybe tampa is just that good.

[ToddM]

Tampa just seems to know exactly where our passes are going and where are forwards are trying to get to (usually the perimeter). We're that goddamned predictable. Our only goals come from times we bust through the middle. Tampa legit never seems really ready for that.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

That goal by Klingberg was very similar to two goals we scored earlier in the series. Vas can't seem to track the puck well when it bounces back a few feet and there's guys flashing in front of his vision. I wish it were easier to generate those kinds of chances though.

It’s a key reason why they finished the period with three shots. Tampa is dominating the neutral zone. The Stars struggle to connect a pass across their own blue line.

[Knives Out]

I wasn’t expecting us to shut them out anyways LOL.

[ToddM]

Hah, the top-ranked U.S. skater in this year's draft wants to model himself after Heiskanen.

God, that must make him feel old AF.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

What's up with Heis btw? doesn't seem like himself in quite some time.

[Troy McClure]

I think he’s playing hurt. His legs aren’t what they were.

[Knives Out]

Thanks, Big Rig x 2.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

they are just dominating us.

[wonko80]

Thanks, Big Rig x 2.

Well it's not like he did that on purpose.

[Troy McClure]

You kidding me. This is over.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

just unstoppable

[wonko80]

And they have all the puck luck too. Not looking good here.

[ScubaSteve]

Maybe stop taking penalties.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

And they have all the puck luck too. Not looking good here.

it freakishly flipped through the air right to their guy in front who batted it down into the corner.

holy *fargin'* *poo poo*.

[wonko80]

I'd like to see Hintz have some sort of impact.

Also, I'd like for Gurianov to not be bad.

[Math]

What did we say about penalties and discipline? I don't remember...

[The Frugal Gourmet]

eh that was the typical tampa call where they grab our stick and bring themselves down.!

[Troy McClure]

I'd like to see Hintz have some sort of impact.

Please be more specific next time

Yep, my bad there.
God we can barely get it out of the zone and if we do it is just by throwing it out. This is ugly hockey by the Stars.

[Math]

So between the legs leads to a penalty and under the skate is ok.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

to be fair, the core problem is their pp is a terrifying machine and ours won't generate anything. so it's probably not just a matter of getting calls.

[Troy McClure]

Also hard to get PPs when you never have the puck in the offensive zone.

[wonko80]

I did notice the broadcast (Olcyzk I think) called out Miro for a bad pass and overall just whelming play.

[Troy McClure]

That’s the dumbest goal in playoffs history.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

did seguin just do something kinda awesome?
