Good win. TyJo moves back into a tie for 3rd, for the moment. Palat inching up on ppg status. Stammer looked pretty good. If Stamkos is going to play like Stamkos, I'm not opposed to Flip - Stamkos - Callahan remaining a thing. If Stamkos is going to play like garbage again, I'd rather see K/PFC.

Not a great game, but it's still nice to get the win. Some guys really stepped up to make some big plays. It's a starting place to better play hopefully.

It looks more like we've just given up. Maybe Yzerman couldn't find a taker?
What sucks is we're still scratching guys so Connolly can show up once every four games. What sucks even more is I think we all still believe Connolly has potential, he's just unlikely to reach it here, which is killing his trade value.
Maybe there's a reclamation project we can acquire and give to Roest and Zettler and see what they can do with him.
One way or another, I don't think Connolly's still here on March 3.
It's hard to show anything with less then 6 minutes. I haven't watched as many games this year but he's playing the 4th line role well, being good defensively and getting in on the forecheck.
He can still score, rather take my chances on him turning it around then playing Brown who only brings energy or Paquette. He needs to play with Filpulla who's the only playmaking center we have, put Callahan back with Stamkos.
I want them to trade him now just for his sake, it's a joke what they did to him and Panik for plugs like Morrow/Brown/Paquette.

He looks pretty good for darn sure could be time to find a taker for carle if we can grab yandle somehow
So were blaming this on ice time now? Hilarious how many excuses are made for him. He's been on both powerplays played with skilled players and dosent score. The only time he looks like a nhl caliber player is when he's on the 4th line. 0 assists in 30+games on the highest scoring team in the league is horrendous. Maybe he's just not that good?

Tampa is still 1st in the East but you've got a lot a games play and 5 teams can take the 1st place from you. Cooper is doing a lot of lines shuffling IMO and changing often players playing positions, particulary the rookies like Paquette-Drouin-Connely, is not very good IMO. Put the best players on the ice and keep a certain stability. But you know i'm not a coach so ... it's juste my observations
I want to see callahan back with Stamkos his play has not missed a beat and he can only help Stamkos as this point. I feel him mixed with guys like paquette or killorn kind of make Cally's efforts go out the window more with paquette than killorn, him and killorn have meshed well. When Flip and Cally where with Stamkos they looked good. Wish they scored, could of made a stronger point.
It's funny guys behind me at the beginning of the game are asking eachother who the hell is on the Stamkos line.
Honestly, is it a crazy thing to put your top 6 scorers in the top 6? I'm not sold on this shutdown line, and think it is more important to have 2 very strong scoring lines, and we had that in the 3rd period.
