TBL: TEAM OF THE CENTURY
Also, if we don't bring in a center at all and roll with who we have next year, can they all spend the summer working on faceoffs with Bergeron? Shit is so predictable.

I find it a bit weird that he’s going public with internal knowledge. Then again everybody can see it in actual games so it’s not that this information is secret. The Lightning are a pretty tight lipped organization so it’s more surprising than disturbing that a former employee breaks this “rule”.Flames fan in peace.
How do you guys feel about Lalonde's comments on sportsnet about the Lightning doing a study revealing Vasi struggling with shots from the point? Does it annoy the fans? Or does should it not really matter in the grand scheme of things?
I’d be shocked if there’s a team in the league that didn’t already know this. That said Lalonde would have been better served simply providing the analysis of Vasy’s strengths and weaknesses and not spilling internal details of his time with the Lightning. It’s one thing to say “this is a weakness that Vasy has and this is how the team has adjusted to compensate” and quite another to essentially say “we knew Vasy sucked at this so this is what we did to cover for him.” Yes, everybody knows Lalonde used to work for the Lightning and could guess that his analysis was based on inside knowledge, but it would have been classier on his part not to openly say it.Flames fan in peace.

Doesn't matter, and honestly any team worth a f*** already knows this and has the statistics. The fact that so many people think they've found the konami code with this is funny.Flames fan in peace.

I dont know man. I cant think of another guy going into hockey media and giving out a specific player's weakness. If nothing else, it's disrespectful to the player to make it public knowledge.
In the grander scheme, we simply dont have the personnel to deal with this this year. The Cooper Shell won us two cups and got us to a third final, so I will never say it doesnt work, but this year we are trying to pull it off with rookies and journeymen. And it's kind of insane to think we have to shelter Vasy in that way anyway.
