    Default Tampa’s awful defense

    So the question about Tampa Bay isn’t if they are really that good, it’s if their defense and goalkeeping could really be this bad. Vasilevskiy as a first or second round fantasy draft choice seems ridiculous at this point. And the defense of Hedman, McDonagh, Sergachev, Shattenkirk, Cernak..... I think we ALL expected more.

    5 goals against against Minnesota, and at home??

    Going forward, is this the new “normal!”

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Keller, Doughty, Verhaeghe, ErikssonEk
    E.Lindholm, Barzal, J.Gaudreau, Huberdeau, S. Wright

    I'm pretty confident they'll be far better than this in the second half. Their final results will still come in well below preseason expectations. I'd classify most of their underachievers as buy low targets.

    It really seems as though the Blue Jackets sweeping them has broken Tampa.

    Or maybe they are intentionally being bad so they can play with their backs against the wall February on to get in to playoff mode early. Good for those who put money on Tampa for the cup if they ever get to like 20:1 odds haha

    Well, I still wouldn’t want to face a TBL team that got into the playoffs as a wild card.....

    They're not doing this intentionally. They're having a rough start similar to other contenders who started the year slow in years past. It's not a unique situation.

    I kinda expected this.. maybe not this much, but a team so dominant last year.... not really a surprise they're struggling so far.
