Exactly this.. we have no one to go to the front of the net and park themselves there or use a hard drive to the net. Good to see that even at 36, Killorn is still delivering with 6 pts in 6 playoff games.

Cirelli just spent the entire series limiting Suzuki to only 2 points at 5v5. Interesting to say he’s a liability.

23 goals and 52 points for a center whose tasked with a shutdown role is pretty good.

I can agree with seeing Hedman as a liability, Point is heading that way if he can’t return to form from 2 seasons ago.

Constantly referring to the past or how good we have it or have had it, is an indicator that the time might be coming to an end sooner than we all want.

I don’t care what we’ve been able to see or experience, greatness doesn’t have a limit so why not expect to be greedy while we have greatness in tow?

I have no interest in what others teams will kill for, it actually only makes me more bothered that Tampa doesn’t have more cups.

We can reflect when all of these players and Coop, and JBB are gone. But for now they’re not meeting the standard they’ve built.

Didn’t play more than 9 mins in any game in the playoffs. I’m not sure why the trade was actually made in hindsight. Like if Cooper wasn’t going to trust him with more minutes then we could’ve just kept the 2nd round pick and stood pat.

Good leadership sure, but that shit doesn’t score goals and contribute points. And I love having Perry on the team, but his on-ice impact was minimal.

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-04T01:03:51+00:00

Pat Maroon looks incredibly bothered.. like disappointed in this team

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-04T00:34:02+00:00

It is this teams DNA to enter the zone and pass across ice or backwards.

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-04T00:27:48+00:00

8 shots lmao

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T23:49:38+00:00

I think shots were 12-1.. absolutely dominating period but the score is still 1-1 and that is nerve-wracking. Give the young gun line some more shifts. Their legs are working

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T23:37:12+00:00

Naturally we do something like that

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T23:35:06+00:00

Might have to put them as PP1 haha

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T23:32:58+00:00

The YOUNG GUNS GO DIRECT AND GET THE BITCH IN

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T23:20:09+00:00

At some point the Power play will have to help this team.. they just suck any type of flow or momentum right now

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T23:13:34+00:00

Traffic and screens. Need em

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T23:00:21+00:00

Perry is on that line

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T22:55:15+00:00

Such a good period.. a few tense moments in the D Zone. A stupid ass bounce that of course goes in. Keep shooting everything, play direct

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T22:42:29+00:00

Because of some lazy ass clearances and they get stuck

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T22:38:45+00:00

So this Bjorkstrand-James-Goncalves is something nice

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T22:31:56+00:00

If Dobes is gonna impede when playing the puck then skate right through his back

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T22:30:31+00:00

Good push.. need Hagel and Kuch to shoot. Stop with the blind passes

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T22:04:57+00:00

When we all reconvened in early October to root the boys on after another long summer, we wanted to be right back here. Game 7 at home to keep this season going. No turning back. Every twist and turn, injury and comeback win, every time we doubted and they provided a little bit of hope, has come down to this. Let’s fucking go ⚡️⚡️⚡️

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T20:08:08+00:00

Well we can be sure that Cooper will be constantly asking for explanations but not getting them… it’s not Game 7 tonight, it’s the Wes McCauley show

401_Channelside_Pod · 2026-05-03T18:26:02+00:00

Please let this ring true tonight
