It's simple, Lightning have one of the best top5 (maybe top6 with Paul) forwards in NHL and one of the worst bottom 6 in NHL. Top6 can't score, and somehow the team who has the best offense in the league (around 4 goals per game) can't score.
For Lightning top6 forward before trade deadline is MUST HAVE. Otherwise Kucherov will get double shifts again as we've seen before.
Defense is great except for Lilleberg-Perbix line. If they can find (and afford) to get bottom pair d-man, that would be awesome.
I think Shannon if You wanted to show the real problem of this team, you had to talk about depth scoring. Because top guys are not a problem. The problem is the gap between top6 and bottom6.
Hiccup
Why does Tampa have so many games in hand vs the rest of the league ? Found it a bit odd.
Considering three of those goals in California two of them were by defenseman so yeah I'm a bit concerned but they should get their mojo back
Meh, not worried a bit. They've got games on hand against BOS and PIT, and don't want the President's Trophy. They'll be fine when the playoffs come around, and nobody will want to play them in the 1st round!
I predicted at the beginning of the season that Tampa would barely miss out on the the playoffs – as in it would come down to the last couple games of the season. While we are still quite a ways off from that point, should it come to pass, we can look back on this stretch of games as the tipping point. I desperately want to be wrong, though.
It's been a while since the wild card races have been this close with so many teams. Any of the 8 teams could realistically make it
as a tampa fan i gotta say it’s been frustrating watching the bottom six contribute almost absolutely nothing offensively, if the bolts want to be true contenders they must find a way to get more out of those guys whether it be through trade or lineup changes.
also lilleberg-perbix is an AHL pairing. i expect tampa to have a huge deadline
Oh man, that jersey is AWFUL. What's the story with it?
I see the last four games as hilarious head scratchers. I say that because, the lightning out shoot all these teams somehow these medicore goalies somehow went beast mode the entire game especially Kamper.
Seems like it’s a combo: they overlooked Montréal ahead of the road-trip to the West Coast, got snakebit, then ran into some hot goalies and defenses. But they might have had time-delayed issues from the hurricanes coming to the fore now as well.
Wait and see how things are after the Blackhawks two games and one Wings game between the 24th and 28th before saying they are falling.
I wouldn't be too concerned for Tampa. A 4 game losing streak isn't good, but it's just 4 games. Plus, two of those losses are to pretty hot teams in Montreal and LA. They've got several games in hand over everyone around them in the standings. They'll be fine as long as this streak doesn't get silly.
As a Tampa fan I'm not really that concerned they really haven't been playing bad And I have faith in the coaching and leadership of this team. I have faith Cooper will shake things up and get the boys playing better. I would be amazed if they didn't make the playoffs.
You should do a video on how the Wild has a historic road record going.
They need a tough guy and another experience average D man
Every team seems like they are playing a 1-3-1 zero-deep-forechecker system against the Lightning in the neutral zone when they break out cleanly. A big problem with the Lightning's breakouts is that they are predictable and always reverse and go behind the net at the first whiff of pressure (not a good strategy with Nick Perbix back there), and teams are onto it, as a result they are too slow getting out of their zone (not an issue when they were dominant a couple years ago), the other team just has to have one forechecker pressuring in order to load up in the neutral zone defensively. Almost all of the goals the Lightning are giving up are off turnovers, either on the sloppy backwards breakouts or trying to force the play through the wall of defenders in the neutral zone.
Thanks for the video! Good info, details, and insights!
"One of the victims of the habs" best THG quote ever
The Eastern conference is vicious this year. It is possible a team will make the playoffs with less than 90 points. No team can afford a losing streak,
I can't believe I am saying this but I will be cheering for Boston.
Youre not saying theyre in any kinda trouble YEAH BUT IT CERTAINLY FEELS LIKE IT😂
You left off the islanders from the standings list which I’m sure was done intentional
The sound volume is so low
The Bolts and Bruins are WEAK SAUCE this year. Boston might miss playoffs. Leafs in FIRM control of the Atlantic and the East in general. Tampa and Boston are no longer a threat
Marner is the best 2-way forward in the game …well above Cerelli
Don’t worry- they play Carolina today, and Carolina won last game which means they’ll take the night off tonight.
If you want a good team to play when struggling so you can bounce back in resounding fashion, Carolina is it.
TBL 8 – CAR 0 tonight, calling it
W last night
Its weird that to me that other Tampa fans think our bottom 6 is that bad. I don't think there's a team in the league that has a bottom 6 that has a PPG player that's played all season, but for some reason all Tampa fans think that's what they should be doing. We will never be able to replace the productivness of the bottom 6 from our 2 cup wins. Those lines were unbelievably good, and the depth that season was unrealistic.
The kings and Sharks games were weird where they played pretty damn well but those two teams also played incredibly well to the point where the gamesw were 50-50
