Goods win but holy **** Stamkos is starting to become a concern

7 points in 5 games...coming off a 17 game season last year.... give him time. I think he looks fine considering how much hockey he's missed. Do wish he'd hit the net a little more, but c'mon Stammers not a concern.

Didn't expect three wins this week. That third period against the Caps really turned the corner for this team. Hope this continues next week against two sneaky good opponents in Red Wings and Devils.

Yeah I'm definitely less concerned about him than Johnson. He's doing plenty of good things.

Was nice to get a 2-1 win to go along with those 5-4, 4-3 wins. We need to win every type of game not just the shootouts.

At least he hit the net a few times this game (straight into the goalie, but on net)

 

[Boltswin]

Man you really dont like vasi.

I still don’t have confidence in Vasy. I don’t dislike him. Maybe others feel the same way.

Not bad. We don't ask a lot of him right now.

I've had some trouble catching games, but I am surprised how not bothered I am by his presence so far.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Nice winning streak we're on against 3 quality opponents.

Actually, not bad. Some solid defensive work. Great on the PK. A bit faster than I expected. Give him limited minutes, keep him the hell away from Hedman, and he's okay. Pleasant surprise.

So wanted this win. Great work Bolts!!!!

Stamkos has had soo many oppertunities this year, he's had so many looks and chances created for him, should easily be in double digiits in points right now if he had any finish.

The only other person in the league that gets as many looks as Stamkos gets from his supporting cast is Ovechkin, the team spoonfeeds him on the PP and Kuch/Names have been doing incredible things at ES.

Imagine how much damage Palat-Point-Kucherov could do, they ripped it up at the end of last season and all 3 look improved this year to me.

 

[DFC]

Kucherov is otherwordly. We had high expectations, and he's blowing them away.

Solid. Very few mistakes, makes a lot of smart plays that you hope guys like Dotchin, KK, and Sergachev learn from.

 

[Hoek]

I like Girardi so far. It seems like we're using him properly since I haven't really been able to point a finger at him for anything.

Steady Eddie, just gets the puck out and does his job. Ive seen Dan play back in junior with Ryan Callahan for the Guelph Storm. Still baffles me how he didn't get drafted. His last year the London Knights traded for Dan & our Goalie Adam Dennis to help them in their run for the Memorial Cup.(Canada's Junior Championship) The team coming from the East was Sydney Crosby's. Dan and Mark Methot (Dallas Stars)were Londons shut down pair. With one of the Best Teams Ever in Canadian Junior Hockey, London beat Sydney's Rimouski Team. As a Guelph season ticket owner, I think it's great seeing our young stars from junior progress though the NHL and how well they have done.

 

[Sky04]

Couple bad pinches the first 2 games and maybe 1 bad positional play but after those 2 games he's been quiet which is a good thing based on all the negatives we heard. Kunitz has had some good forechecking but the guys a defensive liability - he should only start in the o-zone.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Glad Dan is doing well. His play during the playoffs was great to see. Him playing 12-16 minutes a night is perfect. AV just doesnt know how to adjust
