Vasi came up big for not a really good goaltender according to some.

Stacked team, anyone could've bailed the Lightning out today.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

We're pretty good, yeah.

You could say that lol

 

[Sky04]

You're welcome.

 

[Stammertime91]

WE DA BEST!!!

Great game by Callahan and Slater. I thought their press box form was top notch.

I thought the defense played very well tonight. Every one of them had solid games.

 

[The Macho King]

You're welcome.

I de-jinxed your jinx dog.

KK played tonight....?

 

[T REX]

Insane game by Vasy. Insane. Some lazy passing but won by three.

Thank you Vasy.

"Anyone would look good in Tampa."

 

[The Macho King]

KK played tonight....?

Yeah - Sustr was scratched.

And damn - Coop threw Sergachev out there this game. 21 minutes and against Tarasenko...

 

[Sky04]

Yeah - Sustr was scratched.

And damn - Coop threw Sergachev out there this game. 21 minutes and against Tarasenko...

He didn't look out of place but the two defensive rocks tonight were Stralman and Dotchin who anchored both their pairings tonight. Hedman making some lazy plays.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Final Dmen TOI
Strålman 24:49
Hedman 23:53
Sergachev 21:30
Dotchin 18:32
Girardi 14.36
Koekkoek 10:36

 

[Stammertime91]

Oh wow. I feel dumb. Didn't even realize KK played...

I feel bad.

 

[Sky04]

No. Twas a joke.

Doesn't make sense considering KK played and Callahan didn't...?

 

[Stammertime91]

See edit. Stop. Making. Me. Feel. Worse.

He didn't look out of place - don't think he had a super strong defensive game but he was good.

Agree on Dotchin and Stralman.

 

[JFleegs]

Vasy just made a huge statement for the Vezina tonight, guy has been unreal this year

 

[Blanick]

Good game guys, good luck the rest of the way. Vasi is unreal.

Other notes:

Brown looks amazing after being rested, Coop has to take note of this he needs to be rotated in/out.
Yanni is ridiculous on the PK
Girardi played an underrated game, his size is a presence to opposing forwards, he puts pucks on net and blocks a shit ton

Girardi definitely had an underrated game, he played great

[TheDaysOf 04]

Whoa, BIG win. 5 in a row too. Go Bolts!

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Vasy was unreal tonight!!

D did a great job of shutting down Tarasenko & company tonight!

Agree totally about Girardi, had a great game against a killer offense!

Sergy was good in his longer TOI, but Strålman was an absolute ROCK tonight! Team high TOI and a +2.

Scary Stråls stat: his +2 tonight brings him to a +/- of +23. He's now tied for 1st in the NHL with...

Schenn and Schwartz.
