Obviously only game three but a little concerned with their lack of intensity and physical play. Hoping the get their stride in the 2nd. They’ve been a good 2nd period team in POs. Need to win this period. LGI!!

Yep they need to come out ready to go. Way to much hesitation in their game.

Shots were close as were chances, tampa got a gift off leddys skate right to Cirelli. I think tampa moves the puck so quickly they can't line them up for a hit and they are dumping it to change so the forecheck isn't as effective as normal. They aren't playing that bad just need to get some sustained pressure

Part of the point I made earlier. Isles are very slow in their puck movement. Pass, think, pass, think
It's too easy for defenses to get set and causes more passing.
Tampa is the opposite. The isles need more urgency in their puck movement. More blood thirst.

I might call a timeout if I'm Trotz and lay into my team. Not a great start to the second

Nelson, Bailey, Beau, Ebs have done well the last few years in the playoffs during the first few series. They need to keep that production during this series. Cannot get complacent.

To much thinking not enough doing. By the time they do anything Tampa is on top of them. Way to much hesitation in their game against this team imo.

Tampa is loaded with high end skill that we don't possess and thats a big part of it. Isles need to forecheck and cycle down low also when we get a chance they collapse down low and block a ton

“Gifts and luck” all residual of hard work. Boltz been the better team IMO. Clogging neutral zone like we did in game 1.

We need game 6 Barry against Boston to show up right about now.

Was that an icing?

They either (frank)ed that icing up or Palmieri was offsides. If offsides it's where pass originated from

The Killer b's need to wake up. Pageau is slowed by injury and 13-7-47 aren't going to cycle against Tampa

What a great shot by Leo just a little wide.

Cycle down low is what works

It’s 1 - 0 might need that later in the game me thinks.

Tampa was in their face last game and all 3 are soft

Now I know why we’re losing. Jimmy (frank)ing Fallon is there (frank) that douche.

Bring back Johnny.

Pageau, so close

Pelech missing the net like Pulock.

Nice shift by CCM and then JGP line there. Great stick by Hedman.
Tampa is stacking the front of the net. We need to get those shots through.

Watch Bailey. He's throwing the body and has turned it up a notch.

Yea like to see Dobson put that low into his pads and look for a rebound instead of a cross ice pass
