GDT: 2/10/24 - 7:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Columbus

[Rschmitz]

Fleury with over 22 minutes in his first game back. Took a lot of defensive zone minutes for Hedman, and Lilleberg getting more more reasonable amount of ice time for a rookie

 

[Bartleby]

Looks like MacKinnon hurt. Tripped over the back of the net, pretty bad face plant into the ice with no time to get his hands up to protect himself. Another superstar with a broken jaw?

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Was at the game, Hedman and Lilleberg played too much, Lilleberg looks gassed more and more now. Hagel-Cirelli-Paul were awesome, need them to keep it going.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Nice win to stop the bleeding also nice of the Leafs to lose.

 

[T REX]

All is good.

Is it?

 

[Bartleby]

Nice win to stop the bleeding also nice of the Leafs to lose.

Would also be nice to see Morgan Reilly get a couple of games for the cross check to the head at the end. But, of course, he won't.

 

[T REX]

Boston,Colorado and Florida will burry this team the way we are playing

The season will be decided over these next 3 games

I hope Vinik stops JBB from mortgaging any more futures.

Probably will get 2-5 anywhere in there is honestly my guess. I don't think the league will let that go.

I mean our blue line is in shambles this year so I would hope JBB just has the good sense to not do anything stupid when this team clearly isn't going to go as deep as some might hope for.

Hope you're right.

Better be a suspension

 

[Master P]

The amount of leaf fans and media defending that shit is disgusting.

Colorado in free fall and may have just lost Mac, Boston playing ok but not at level of early season. FL the only wagon at the moment. If we lose all three handily then things might be decided and if I were JBB I'd be a seller and might even have a long talk with Stammer despite what I said a month ago, but if we come away with even two points we're still gonna be right in the middle of it. Of course, even if we make it, it may well be, as in the immortal words of Darryl Sutter, "a waste of eight days".

JBB had $8.5 million to play with.

Party on.

Good win overall. A little leaky in the 3rd, but good win to get back on track. The season will not be decided in the next 3 games either, and JBB should definitely be looking to add, as thus season is far from a wash.

We need a middle 6 forward and a top 4 d-man.

 

[Bartleby]

Yes, he does, but he would still have to give up assets in order to use it and I don't know how anyone else feels about, but IMO, no more futures. This team has not demonstrated that it is worth that kind of investment anymore.

 

[ccman68]

if there is a hagel like player out there i see no reason not to just go for it and trade howard but we should not be going for a rental that’s for sure

Again..with what assets? Come on...Howard has actual potential. JBB has f ed up enough with Jeannot and Sheary to not allow him to make any more major trades. Sorry not sorry

Howard is the only decent asset we have. SMDH.

 

[JTBF81]

We need a middle 6 forward and a top 4 d-man.

Agreed, and there are plenty of solid dmen potentially available. Even if not top 4, there are some decent option: Lyubushkin, Seeler, Walker, Fabbro, Carrier, I'm sure I'm missing some. Tampa doesn't have to go after either Tanev or Hanifin to add quality. There are plenty of middle 6 F options as well, so hopefully JBB will get it done.

 

[JTBF81]

For the right piece or pieces, there's no doubt JBB would probabaly consider trading any of Howard, Gauthier, Duke, Goncalves, Alnefelt, Thompson. Schmidt etc, in addition to the '24 3rd, '25 2nd and 3rd, plus all picks in '26. Some roster players could also be parts of trades if needed. Despite what some may think, Tampa has more trade assets than just Howard.

Fleury looked steady. Top 6 steady. Props.

Yes, by all means. Maybe he can even find us another Tanner Jeannot!

 

[JTBF81]

Or Brandon Hagel, Coleman, Goodrow etc. He made one bad trade, but I'll take his.and his team's ability to find the right adds, and they should.

 

[Todd1a]

Really important 2 points after losing the back to back in NY. We've got 2 days to prepare for Boston who just got shutout by Washington. No points for Toronto either so Bolts get to leap frog them for a day

We can’t go 0-3 the next 3 games it’s will bury us back down again we have to go 2-1 at the very least

The 2026 1st rounder will be gone lol JBB will send that out
