Love to see those guys out there! Brings a smile to my face! And Gronk too lol!
IMO If Kuch can play you put him where it worked: Next to Point.
What's gonna be the top 6 lineup? Given how long Kucherov has been removed from the lineup I don't know if Cooper is gonna just put him back with Point of the bat like that. My gut's telling me this
Palat-Point-ABB (maybe)
XXX-Stamkos-Kucherov
I really don't want that extra guy to be Killorn. Leave him with Cirelli while Goodrow-Gourde-Coleman keeps rolling as it is.
I wish Cooper would be a dawg and put Colton up there but there's a reason why it's called dreaming
Ideally I would like to see that happen because don't give me wrong. I love Stamkos and Kucherov together but the two f*** around together way too much -like to the point where Cooper split them up years ago and has yet to consistently reunite them outside of playing with Point and on the PP ever since. I think the idea is on a short leash at best because if Kucherov struggles for 2 games then yeah I think you'd have to pull the trigger. But if ABB, Palat and Point all love playing together and continue to mesh -do you really risk breaking it up right away?
At the very least we're gonna see Kucherov and Point be instant magic on the PP again.
Fl and Carolina both seem like teams on a mission this year. They will be tough to beat. I wonder if our intensity matches theirs since we won it last year. Sometimes that hunger isn't there after winning it and I think we will need that intensity and motivation to beat these teams. Hopefully that switch goes on when the playoffs are live!
We've seen what a mission to win the regular season can get you.
Cirelli has not had a goal since March 20 over two months let that sink in a minute. Then consider in the same time frame he has 3 asst's. A slump is 8 or 9 games this has been a disaster. Maybe Coop should throw him down to the 4th line for the rest of the regular season. I have never been a big Cirelli supporter but damn he has been atrocious this year. He is on a 39 point 82 game pace. That is just unacceptable on a high octane offensive team. Killer is on a 47 point pace beside him so why can Cirelli not at least be even with him even though they have had a rotating wing on the other side this year. I would not be suprised if Cirelli is exposed or traded in the offseason. And why not he is now less attractive to the team than Killer. Sure hes young but he has never been a huge scorer 44 points his high. He should be centering a 3rd line paid 2 to 3 mil a year instead of almost 5 and next contract still a RFA he will be upside down. Think about this in 22-23 he will be paid 7.2 mil.My big question is will Stammer and Cirelli work? Because it wasn’t working pre stammer injury. Maybe go with this top 6
Stammer Point Kuch
Palat Cirelli Killer
I really do prefer to flip Stammer and Palat and that may be what we see. BUT that Cirelli line would creat another Killer shut down line in addition to Guordes line.

Palat - Point - Kuch
Killorn - Cirelli - Stamkos
Coleman - Gourde - Goodrow
Maroon - Colton - Joseph/Stephens
I don't like the 2nd line so im not opposed to Stamkos on the 1st line, considering how great out 3rd line is.
ABB and Foote don't play unless they go 11-7 or there's an injury.
this guys been such a passenger/waste I forgot all about him.Johnson is 100% playing.

no way, ABB has been horrible the past few games, he’s too small and not ready for the playoffs
ABSOLUTELY ZERO CHANCE
Johnson - Point - Kucherov
Palat - Stamkos - Killorn
Goodrow - Gourde - Coleman
Maroon - Cirelli - Joseph/Colton
Johnson had 29 goals playing next to Point and Kucherov before. You can double shift Palat or Stamkos for him late game. Palat and Killorn will protect Stamkos from having to do too much as he's probably not 100%. Keep the 3rd line and the 4th line is either a more checking line with Joseph or a little bit more offensive with Colton. Cirelli can focus on being a shutdown C and PK specialist to get back to his best.
