[Todd1a]

Awesome Lightning just awesome ️️️️️️️️️

 

[ElectricDreamMachine]

That Brownov-Flip-Cally line was awesome. They completely outplayed the Toews line.

 

[The Gongshow]

Would you look at that, everyone has a nice "LOST 1" beside their records while TB has a nice looking record going

Tampa also back to being the best team at home in the division

 

[wxkid23]

Capitals are the only team that scares me.

Scare me too but you gotta beat the best to be the best. Bring #8

Toews was playing tonight?

 

[JFleegs]

Woww wooooo what a ****ing game!!! I had to listen to the first and missed the second, but caught the whole last 3rd period. That was a helluva game by the boys! Now thats the Lightning we know and love. The rest of the league better watch out, the lightning have awoken!

 

[wxkid23]

Toews was playing tonight?

He played. Rarely saw him lol

 

[berlin]

I feel like the season has finally begun.

That makes Saturday in Sunrise even bigger

 

[FDfranklin]

What was that stat about Kucherov? 7th player to get 20 goals 20 assists this season? Should someone bump the Kucherov thread?

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

u all notice that when i was able to come back from my injury this streak started

ohhhhh we wont make the playoffs i said two 8 and 2 runs and we would be leading the league

7 and 0 works too i guess haha

No disrespect Rob but during the Edmonton GDT people were saying we should form our own team because at least then some heart would be shown.

At 11:05 EST I said

I am Canadian and have had trade speculation for a while now...Thats good enough for me to be Captain right?

At 11:09 EST The first of three Tampa goals was scored.

The team has been on a roll ever since.

Coincidence?

I don't think so. I Have been Captaining the Hell out of this team.

 

[wxkid23]

Chicago needs to beat them tomorrow

 

[Hoek]

Statement win. Crawford made it way closer than it should've been.

Here's hoping the Hawks are pissed and take it out on the Panturds tomorrow. Then we can pass them on Saturday.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Statement game indeed. The whole team played lights out from top to bottom. Not one player had a bad game.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Pretty good night all around

 

[xteesy]

Cally looked great and dare i say Sustr has made major strides.

Sustr had my jaw on the floor half the night.

Seriously I'll be the first to admit it and eat crow, he's a damn good defenseman now...

Whatever happened to his confidence in the last 5 months changed everything for that guy. He'll easily be a top 4 D man if he keeps playing like the last 20 games.

He's gotta be considered one of the coaching staffs biggest success stories thus far. Let's just hope he keeps it consistent.

No doubt about that.

Scary part is Johnson and Palat haven't even found their A game yet.

 

[dechire]

Yay winning

He's looked great the past few games, still needs to put on some muscle and get a decent slapper. He makes some smart pinch plays, he's starting to know when to do it and when to back off, which before he didn't he would just pinch all the time and it led to some bad plays. Very impressed.

No doubt about that.

Scary part is Johnson and Palat haven't even found their A game yet.

I think Palat has looked pretty good. Isn't the team like 7-1-0 since he's been back or something...

He's getting some goals and points since he's been back, its TyJo that needs to get going.

I think overall he's been good, but we all know he has another level. Johnson, on the other hand, has at least one other level. I'd like to see him prove that he can be that franchise center over a long period of time like we thought he is.

 

[Brie]

Toews was playing tonight?

The only time I saw him was when the camera kept following him around before faceoffs but as soon as the puck dropped it was as if he dropped off as well.

 

[Brie]

If CHI hadn't scored that early goal and if Crawford hadn't stood on his head it wouldn't have been clos at all:

 

[Leonardo87]

No doubt about that.

I think Palat has found his game or is almost there, but Johnson is still struggling. He looked ok tonight, nothing special, and had too many turnovers. Then if you look at Cally who is the other one struggling offensively , he is making it up big time on the defensive side like on the PK. But is making a huge effort to create offense, but has had all the bad luck thrown at him this season, between disallowed goals, hitting posts, or facing a hot goalie, it's just not right.

But if all 3 of these guys can really take off offensively, think we will be even better than last season.

 

[The Macho King]

Sustr ... where did this kid come from.

I believe the #Yzerplan.
