Oh come on, why can't we ever hit an open net? They need to practic that and practice hard.

 

[Glide5]

how can we never hit an open net?

 

[The Macho King]

Jack Johnson acting like a clown. I guess you could say he's morally bankrupt.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Love you Paquette

 

[Brie]

I'm so glad that Bishop moved out of the way when things were getting rough, it would have been bad if he was hit or if someone had landed on him.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Victory!

 

[Stormbreaker]

10 straight!

Sweet

We win.

Overall an ok game, could have been better but could have also been worse.

The PP is still a huge issue but I can't figure out what else to think of it at this point.

 

[Maelmoor]

Another two points in the bank! Despite TKO and Stamkos goal draught!

 

[Glide5]

Wow, Paquette sounds nothing like I thought he would. Anyone else listening on the radion to his interview?

 

[The Gongshow]

God our PP ****** me off....

Poor Ben can't get those shutouts eh, always has one against him.

 

[zeykshade]

Another 2 points brought to you by Ben "Pay Windah" Bishop. Held the team in the game until they felt like playing the game in the 3rd Period.

 

[DFC]

10 straight!

10th straight win on the night our 10th guy scored his 10th goal.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Jack Johnson acting like a clown. I guess you could say he's morally bankrupt.

Ouch.

 

[Sky04]

Bishop sucks, guy can't even win you a game

 

[The Macho King]

Ouch.

I wanted that comment to get more groans.

 

[Glide5]

Well, Bishops having some solid games at home, but him and the whole team need bring this same intensity to the road... or its going to be a long month.

 

[HoseEmDown]

We don't have 10 players with 10 goals. Stamkos, Johnson, Kucherov, Palat, Callahan, Filpulla, Paquette, Killorn and Boyle, who's 10? Connolly will be 10 on his next one.

We'll keep him long enough to do it.

Hope not. We'll get absolutely wasted. Lightning didn't deserve the result they got tonight imo. They were outworked for almost the entire game except for maybe 3 shifts in the 3rd period which decided it. Bolts need to be better.

TKO is hampered by TJ being hurt and still playing. They're not going to produce at the same pace offensively as they were prior to him being injured. They're still reliable defensively though. It looked like they put Palat at Center in some of the 3rd period there and let TJ not skate as deep in the zone as he typically does.

Paquette is a gem for us in the Bottom 6. He's never going to be a top 6 guy or even a tweener like Killorn can be sometimes. But if he can continue to be even threatening offensively and play his sound 200' game and PK for us, he's found money.

 

[Brie]

We only have 9 players that have scored 10+ goals so far:



But it's still damn impressive and we're the only team in the NHL who have that many so it's still great.

Witkowski looked really solid again to me. Quick, simple decisions. Pretty much what you want out of a guy in his role.

I would love to hear your thoughts on Sustr?
