11/26 Lightning vs. Rangers

[Sotnos]

If what Orr did doesn't deserve an instigator, what does?

Anyway, MUCH improved effort, they look tons better out there & are actually generating some pressure for once. Hope it pays off.

Not sure how orr didn't get an instigator, arty was pretty much jump from behind. And how arty got a penalty i don't know, his gloves didn't even come off!

[Sotnos]

The first minute of that period was definitely the team we know & love that can't get the puck out of their own end, though they were better after that.

I think PK is standing on the bench during this Arty interview.

[Hoek]

w00t! Marty ties it with under a minute left! Now let's get the 2nd point in one of these extra sessions already, sheesh.

Gah another frickin' shootout. Boo.

And it turns out EXACTLY the same as EVERY shootout before. Try something DIFFERENT ALREADY! My god..

[Sotnos]

I had no hope of them even tying it, so I guess I can't complain about their suckiness in the shootout (again). They look hopeless in those.

[Evan]

They need to put kolzig in for the shootouts.

And the Smith Cheese continues!!!

[Sotnos]

Post-game interviews with Smith & Stamkos, geez you'd think their dog died with how bummed they look & with Rick using the golf voice.

Then who would you put in after Kolzig tears both groins off the bone,going in cold, really not enough time between OT & shootout.

Yeah, it's like he needs to play what will work for him in these shootouts. He doesn't seem agressive at all or willing to challenge the shooter when they're coming down as if he's too worried to overcommit. I thought the goalie was suppose to have the edge in shoot outs?! Smitty plays so damn good throught these games and gets burned in these shootouts.

But hell, I have a better idea, the forwards could score some more damn goals so it wouldn't go into OT and SO!

Anyone else wondering why Vrbata was on the shoot out first? And not VL4 or MSL, and hell Malone looked damn good on his penalty shot the other game, why not give him a try?
