    Going in tied is a godsend, that was a disgraceful period.

  2. Lugy_The_Meh

    Somebody fucking hit someone! jesus all ive seen are weakass pokechecks

  3. Roguemutantbrain

    These kinds of games are where we need vets like Okposo

  4. Here I was going to try to pump everyone up that we were down a goal and we were obviously outplayed in the first period but I don’t have to post that now because we’re tied and the sun is shining.

  5. canyoudiggsit321

    Nice one by Okposo salvaging this period!

  6. stuiephoto

    Too many “first NHL win” beers after the game last night.

  7. astroblade

    13 min without a shot, OOF. Glad the next one was a goal

  8. moonshinesabres

    Don’t stress. Matty Ellis will tell Rayzor between periods how we win this one.

  9. Was that not holding by the flyers on okposo? Thankfully scored but I didn’t see a hand in the air?

  10. Roguemutantbrain

    I think if we can get one up on them, the pace will change. They’re like the Isles in the way they like to choke things out and frustrate you. If they’re chasing, it’s a different game.

  11. Around the League

    Islanders 0, Tampa Bay 1

    Florida 2, Columbus 0

    Toronto 0, Ottawa 0.

  12. Lanlis12

    Donny don’t be scared to blast these guys in the intermission, kick a garbage can or something. That was fucking abysmal. Lucky we’re not down 3.

  13. Sabres8127

    They looked gassed that whole period. We never look good against teams that play like Philly or the Islanders. Glad it ended tied after the first, they need to find their game in the second.

  14. Pdb strain for the second period is Blue dream. Like it would be great and an awesome dream if all the teams wearing blue tonight won

  15. We care Isles are down or they are out of reach ?

  16. harambeforever3

    We need Matty Ellis’ words of wisdom 🫡

  17. I have to admit that Jersey Mike’s subs are actually pretty darn good and they have a dedicated gluten-free place where they make all subs for people like me with celiacs disease.

    They’re bacon lettuce tuna and tomato is amazing, and their number 16 chicken Philly cheesesteak is just making me hungry right now

  18. Boooooo Florida has found net again and it’s three nothing

  19. That Sling commercial dude really gave it his all singing it.

  20. The woman with the huge tracks of land from AT&T is aging very gracefully.

  21. Green_hippo17

    Petition to get krebs on the top line in place of mittelstadt

  22. Did Michael Jordan really like Adidas? I called doubt on that one.
