The Bolts have played so shittily all game (/series) I'll probably faint from shock if they win, but I don't think they will.

nayrt They also keep forgetting how to play defense in the last minutes. Might be why they may end up losing the series.

I think they've kind of forgotten how to play defense in general, lol. I know the big excuse of Bolts fans (I am one, just not one that 100% believes this particular theory) is that Bishop helps out the defense much more than Vasilevskiy does in terms of puck handling and clearing the zone and that's throwing them off, but regardless something has been seriously off this series and at this point I'm kind of hoping that if they lose Yzerman will work some magic to get a defense that doesn't rely entirely on the goalie to bail them out. That's my little ray of hope.

Between Carle who is just plain out bad and Stralman who looks like his injury made him forgot how to play. It's an interesting mess.

If they relied on goaltender playing the puck then they should start teaching Vasilevskiy that in the off season. Because they are not adapting to the two different goaltenders style as far as I can tell.

Would Tampa play Bishop in game 7 if he can play?

I HATE MATT CARLE. Stralman is usually better but him playing weak really exposes how much of the defense is just him and Hedman (who also seems off) so when none of it's clicking the holes (Matt Carle) are much more apparent. At this point, assuming we get eliminated, I'll be mad if Yzerman DOESN'T do something to shore up the defense. Plz Stevie Y, Plz.

I think their current strategy with Vasilevskiy is to let him develop into his own and not try to make him copy Bishop too much, because he doesn't do it well. Which makes sense, but apparently nobody bothered to tell the defense that!!

And as for Bishop, idk. I kind of think no because he played hurt in the SCF last year and we all know how that went (like this!). He would really have to be at 100%. Vasilevskiy isn't the issue here, and I think Cooper knows that.
