GDT: 3/28/23 - 7:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Carolina

[StammerHammer]

Engblom being careless with his words.

 

[These Are The Days]

Best win of the season?

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Jeannot just tossing players around

 

[Byrddog]

Really encouraging game even if the Canes are missing there scoring guys.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Best win of the season?

Can't believe I had fun watching my team play

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Carolina DJ playing Morgan Wallen, I dig it.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Stastny was going to do something and then he saw it was Jeannot

 

[T REX]

Can't believe I had fun watching my team play

this right here

 

[DistantThunderRep]

See, saying Vasy doesn't suck doesn't effect the shut out.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Best win of the season?

The win against Boston in January was terrific as well.

 

[Stormbreaker]

That was fun let's do it again sometime.

 

[RDTBay4]

Good game.

Carolina really shook after that Russian went down.

 

[JTBF81]

Great win, but can they sustain this level of play for more than a game and actually look like playoff form is another question.

 

[Byrddog]

Vasi doin Vasi things

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[Bartleby]

Best win of the season?

It was a nice performance but I don't think it means a whole lot one way or another. In other words, I don't think they're all going back into the locker room thinking they've got it all figured out again. Nor should we. Just a good, solid regular season win against a quality opponent on the road. No more. No less.

One caveat might be that all of our scoring was 5x5 but even that is tempered by the fact that it is still only our big guns doing it.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Vasy still takes this personally

 

[Lightning1995]

Maybe they can flip a switch

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[Bartleby]

Yes, Carolina is still a very good team. But they are a diminished team with the loss of two of the their top three scorers. It seems pretty likely that they are going to face the Islanders in Rd 1 and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Isles took that series. They've got Sorokin who is all world and the Canes all of sudden can't score. Not too mention they have no big bodies up front.

 

[Outl4w]

Playoff mode engage. Do we have permission to score and play defense ? Copy that you are clear to play engaged hockey.

 

[Hoek]

Decent win. Didn't do a bunch of stupid shit and didn't give up any goals, who figured?

 

[Zwui21]

Didn't watch the game so can't comment on that, but great sign to have such win against another top team in the East.

What's worrisome though looking at the scoresheet is the lack of secondary scoring.

How did Fleury play?

 

[Stammertime91]

Nick Paul with 1 goal in 30 games.
Anthony Cirelli with 2 goals in 16 games.

I actually miss Val Filppula right now.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Solid win but still a little concern going forward: unless the big three score all the goals we can’t win. We’re a one line team.
