Guest FlHabsFan Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Dangerous team if they were to get a real goalie. Denis couldnt stop a beachball if it was loaded with magnets and he put iron on his uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FlHabsFan Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Tampa is desperate about their goalie situation. They just called up 21 year old Ramo from the AHL. So now they have Denis making 3.5 a season and sucking, Holmqvist making 1 mil a season and sucking, and a guy from the AHL with a 3.13gaa and .906 sv%. Meanwhile, the big 3 have to play 30 min a game to keep them in it. And still they lost 6-2 last night and of course the 9-6 loss from Calgary last thursday and a 3-2 loss against the Caps on saturday. 18 goals against in 3 games.

Guest FlHabsFan Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Ramo played a great game last night. Stopped 29 of 30 shots. Gave up some bad rebounds, but still looked solid for his first NHL game. And at 21 himself, could be a future gem like Price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1970 Habs Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 This team is an enigma. Hot at home, cold on the road. Fortunately they are in the weakest Division in the NHL this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Innis_Mor Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Tampa has four of the top forwards in the league, but after that the team is not very deep, and Tortorella is not a man of patience. He's backed himself into a corner now, playing Lecavalier/St. Louis/Prospal + Richards a ton (see last night's game TOI stats below). The top line was on the ice for all 3 of the Habs even-strength goals in the 3rd period. Notwithstanding scoring 2 even strength goals themselves, plus a power-play one, the Tampa line finished the game at -1 for +/- on the night. Their game ice time: 4 C LECAVALIER, VINCENT 1 1 2 -1 25:08 26 R ST. LOUIS, MARTIN 1 1 2 -1 25:23 20 C PROSPAL, VACLAV 1 2 3 -1 1 2 25:13 Add Richards with similar ice time, and you get 4 very good players playing well until they got pooped, and ran out of gas. Top Canadiens forward for ice time?: 27 R KOVALEV, ALEX 1 1 +1 2 4 19:20 I don't know what the answer is for the Tampa team. They do well at home, in part, because they can line match and get the top line freed up some. On the road, they're toast by the third period. Tortorella's days are likely numbered, if only to give the team a "fresh start". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theo_addict Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 It's a shame because they have 3 amazing players. All they would need is a good goalie. It's not normal that the guy with the most amount of points in the league is on a team that is on the verge of being in last place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not normal that the guy with the most amount of points in the league is on a team that is on the verge of being in last place. That wont fix the problem, one line teams will not work at all, and TB is proving that, a goalie will help, but secondary scoring is needed somewhere down the road for this team to return to glory, not to mention a solid defensive core.

Guest FlHabsFan Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah. They really dont have the supporting cast here, so they rely too heavily on those 4. Come playoff time, they are exhausted. And heck, they havent been to hot at home either as of late and are fighting with the kings for last place overall.

ColRouleBleu Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I watched part of the game vs Ottawa tonight and I really feel sorry for Vinnie and St-Louis. Ottawa didn't play well at all (the part I watched anyway) and have a couple of players who fell to the flu. TB was leading for most of the game and let a 3-1 lead fly by to lose 4-3 in OT.

Guest arpem_can Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 I know what the answer is...wait for 10 more games when they are virtually out of a play-off spot and trade Vinnie to Montreal for......you name them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 11CaptainKoivu11 Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 This team is an enigma. Hot at home, cold on the road. Fortunately they are in the weakest Division in the NHL this year. I think it makes a lot of sense. At home Tampa can get their big guns out against the match ups they want. On the road they can't, other teams can get their checking lines out to slow down the big guns. A team like Tampa is probably one of the worst things you can have in my opinion. One big line and no depth. If I was their GM I would suck it up before the deadline and trade for some depth and goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 11CaptainKoivu11 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I can't understand how, according to TSN's Jim McKenzie that teams are going after Brad Richards. Which, then would allow Tampa to sign St. Louis, Lecavalier, Boyle and then go after a big name goaltender. I can't understand how a team would go after Richards and that huge contract. I mean he is anything but a rental player. I dunno, after a few of the things McKenzie has been saying lately, I don't know if he is just saying stuff to generate interest and get people to watch sportscentre, or if what he is saying is really going to happen. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 11CaptainKoivu11 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I can't understand for the life of me, how the Brad Richards trade talk is heating up. TSN is claiming about 6 teams are heavily after this guy. Like I said earlier, this guy is anything but a rental with that huge contract, and what is it, 3 years left? I guess the only hope is that if someone gets this guy, is that he returns to his form when he signed his current deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
