I would love to hear your thoughts on Sustr?
Decent at times, shaky at times. Might be a solid third pairing guy some day.

Was Eric Brewer in one of those commercials? I'm pretty sure he was.
Witkowski looked really solid again to me. Quick, simple decisions. Pretty much what you want out of a guy in his role.
We've won two "nice" games in a row now, but it's nothing we should view as significant in the bigger picture... They each had their back up playing and Bishop was locked in. That's not going to happen all the time, and we didn't blow either team completely off the ice.
I just hope Yzerman doesn't view this last two games as a sign that all is well.
Not sure what you are asking for? Some of our core guys played a full 60 mins, and that is why we won this game.
With the level of parity in the NHL, I think the proverbial "60 minute game" is as close to dead as can be. You just don't see it very often these days, especially in the regular season. Even the best teams in the league get put on their heels for long stretches, regardless of opponent.

Not true at all. We did blow both teams out of the water. Dominated possession against both of them and frankly if not for our PP woes the score differential would have been even more in our favor. That was two very well played games all around for this team.
That's not to say I don't think they should add a piece or two, cause they should, but they destroyed both Detroit and Columbus, don't get it twisted.
Agreed. For about 75% of the Detroit game it was all Bolts. The Columbus game was a little more even but we still carried play. Could have easily ended 5-1 just like the Detroit game if Stamkos hits his shot and Cally scores on that breakaway.
The Columbus game was actually just as dominant. The eye test makes it seem a little less because TB had a lot of PPs and their power plays became big chances for Columbus. TB was a +15% in 5v5 possession which is huge.
