GDT: 2/8/18 - 7:30PM EDT - Vancouver vs Tampa Bay

[Stormbreaker]

Girardi is on the ice for warm-ups, he's a game-time decision.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Some interesting line combos

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

This is what I like!

Edited to add: yes, even Sustr who's been better than Dotchin recently.

 

[Lightning1995]

Haven’t Johnson and Stammer been tried together without much success?

 

[DaBolts]

WOW! What a lineup shuffle. Gourde with Stammer and Johnson? That's going to be a goaltender's nightmare...(I hope).

 

[DaBolts]

Incoming trade! Koekkoek Dotchin and Paquette for McDonagh

Nah. Toss in a 2nd this year and 3rd next year and get Karlsson.

Unless there is a seventh D out there, I would presume that means he has to play. Dude is a warrior, if he suits up I doubt anyone is talking him out of it.

 

[DaBolts]

Not in a while. They want to put some speed on the wings and take the load of Kuch. That will do it. What a fast 1st line. I like the 4th line also, that is going to be a nasty one.

 

[TampaJay]

Maybe this new line combo will get Stamkos back to his strength... being a sniper

You are correct Danny G is in tonight.

[Shoresy Snipes]

Kuch and Killer on the same line, interesting. At least Pointer might be the straw that stirs the drink...

 

[Brie]

Those are some interesting lines, hopefully we can get all lines rolling.

 

[Lightning1995]

I would expect the so called 4th line to get at least as many minutes as the third.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Forward lines juggled, defense pairs rearranged...gonna be one heck of a night!

 

[Brie]

Oh, thnakfully they didn't have anyone around our net there.

 

[Brie]

Our passes and the way our team reads each other haven't been great but I guess that's what to expected when you have new lines, hopefully it will get better as the game goes on.

 

[The Gongshow]

I know its early but...my god these line combo's look awful.... who came up with these a monkey?

 

[Brie]

Ugh, had the feeling that would happened since it tendto when the other team is the one in control.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

PK time. :::heavy sigh:::

 

[Brie]

Nice block by Girardi.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Nice kill!!

 

[Brie]

Good kill and a good couple of shift that followed where we didn't let up. Keep playing like that.

 

[Stormbreaker]

The line shuffling has already begun

 

[Steazy Doo]

Sustr is hitting some beaut passes through the middle.
