We have to figure that it or stay out of the box (Eller). I know we technically killed off the last penalty but they scored before Eller could get involved in the play. I still consider that a pp.
Burakovsky was bad in that game. He hasn't been good since he returned from injury. We areca better team without him. I don't understand how he is in the lineup. DC must be right. This has to be a management decision. If we can all see how much of a liability he is then Trotz certainly sees it. I'm sure if its was entirely Trotzs decision, Bura would be scratched.

Hopefully Bura sits in favor of Chiasson for game 5. I've been an advocate of playing Bura but he didn't nothing last night to show he belongs in the lineup right now. Eller's play has been perplexing too. So strong in games 1 and 2 but now he can't stay out of his own way. Not sure what to do with him. Drop him to the third line? Not too impressed with backstrom either but at least he had the mental toughness to try to play.

No.
Vasi saved a shitload of shots right to his chest. He did make some nice saves, but so did Holtby. And Vasi was a hot mess in games 1 and 2.
The goaltending has not been the difference in this series, our God-awful PK has been.

Or Tampa's god-wonderful PP has been. A lot of skill out there. Our PP has been the issue in the past 2 games.

To-ma-to, tom-a-to.
Our bad PK versus their awesome PP.
By your logic has our PP been bad, or has their PK been great.
Two sides of the same coin.

An opponents PP is never “good”, we just failed to stop them
