I uh, erm, go St. Louis....for tonight. Rest of the nights, please hang yourself from the Arch.
Seriously. Mote WAS Cait Sith. Well that and TU/Dreamers drama. And everyone hating Weeks.
Man tampa's defense is so lol.
The secret has always been the same - if you keep them off the lead/or run a dedicated chip n chase play, you're in. Any combination of factors that gets the puck deep in Tampa's zone, with your team near it/in possession = Money.
I think that's why they run such a tough neutral-trap system - they really, really don't want to have to play defence
1-3-1 all day er' day as long as you're winning lol
Yeah, otherwise it makes national headlines
I saw a YT vid on my leafs board once that was a really detailed explanation of the 1-3-1 and how the trap is sprung. It's a great strat because there's no clear-cut answer to beat it while keeping possession - You need to improvise to find holes based on what Tampa shows you.
The closest thing to an answer is a dedicated chip 'n chase play from the pressured wing to the opposite side - idea being your far winger hits the line with speed as you send it, thus beating the D/gaining the zone/ starting the cycle. Even then, there's still a defender available for Tampa that can contest the chase.
Just insidious.

Man this game isn't bad really, pretty damn physical, but I simply cannot watch a game in which STL is playing. It must have been what other fans felt like playing the Preds last year. Game going on mute while I go back to reading my 11,000 page Twilight collector's edition.
I wonder if Boucher has ever killed anyone who's asked him how he got that fucking scar
Seriously, he looks like the fucking villain from Casino Royale and it just, well, bothers me.
Habs are tanking... in tanking. 2-1 MTL
Alexei Emelin has passed Gomez for goals.
inc 6 yr / $57m contract
Sick tip from Cole, 3-1 MTL.
I predict a Habs melt down in the third.
5-4 Lightning final.
Habs vs Edmonton would be an entertaining series.
"You win."
"No, you!"
followed by Mama Cass~esque choking from both sides.
/sigh. I hate how my 2 fave teams are 28th and 29th in the league.
Jesus Christ Detroit just score a goal already, gawd! St Louis is not allowed to win tonight.
Tampa scores to get within 1. Put in by a Hab player.
