The color Tarasenko and Okposo got in literally weeks of being in SoFLA is remarkable

Ice reflects sunlight… duh

Bob looks like he just got back from stalingrad

Playing behind of Ekblad does that to any goalie.

 

[BabyBennettov]

Really curious on what Vladdy wants on his next deal. Dare to dream he takes a cap hit discount for term/cup chances?

3.0-3.5mil AAV?

Ship off Erod to Utah or something

That's the number I have... 3.5M for 3 years and see you in training camp komrad !

It depends on what happens with Bennett. I think we keep him to be the 3C once Barky leaves.

I also expect that we trade Knight + Devine to Colorado

Wait, wait, wait. Where is Barkov going and when?

Just some random thoughts from the 5 brain cells I have left.

1. Got to weather the storm in period 1. Would be nice to start game 3 similar to game 1 & 2 and just have that persistent forecheck/backcheck and keep Tampa in their own zone to take away any home advantage. I'm sure they are going to come out firing on all cylinders and try to get Kuch going.
2. Get bodies in front of Vasily. Chucky on the 2nd, Reinhart on the 1st. 3rd line can be Stenlund. Someone to try to get that rebound before Vasily can recover.
3. No dumb penalties, especially in the offensive zone. Swaggy had that brain dead one on Vasily that tied up the game.
4. Would be nice to get some goal production from either Ekblad or Montour. Forsling can net some, but some production from the blue line is crucial missing Bennett up front.
5. Lomberg clearly is ded. Massive cover up.
6. Defensively the team has been great all around.
7. Wonder if Gadjo will dress up for any game?

#5 True story, It has been said that Craven Morehead did it

He's really good, I hope we can keep him.

OH MAN FOURTH LINE DOMINATING TONIGHT

He drives plays and he is not a perimeter player, if he has the puck, he is going to the net, also he got skills.

 

[Two4Fighting]

But, he has not been the in your FACE type of player that he usually is during the regular season "an A'hole", which it is a good thing, we don't want to give Tampa stupid PP chances, just because Tkachuk said to them: "Hey, your Mom was good last night".

 

[Two4Fighting]

I told you guys back in October, this guy can play! Great interview, too. Sharp kid. Happy for him.

The kid has lots of skills, and plays hard, him and Stedlun are keepers, trade Lomberg for a first and a 7th. Keep Gadjo.

 

[Two4Fighting]

So. What changed for the 4th line? Say it with me, I know you can.

Begins with O and ends with poso. Give up?

Octuposo?

 

[Two4Fighting]

Katie gonna get some pp from Verhaeghe when he scores the OT winner

Is Verhaeghe Going to score off the ice?

 

[Two4Fighting]

What an steal. We were better for most of the game imo, Tampa looked slow and not interested at all, especially how Stamkos slowly glided away from that last onetimer chance.

Lets sweep em next game.

Tampa is been humbled by the Panthers, they can no create, no rushes, being hit pretty hard and the 4th is taking them to task, their defeated demeanor is very palpable on the ice, especially Kucherov and Stamkos.
