I didn't realize that Stralman and Girardi were tied in points, I figured the amount of time and the long shifts Stralman plays he would be miles ahead??

Well...Girardi had a spike in offense just recently I believe....not really sustainable for him.... Stralman, meanwhile, is a defense first D-man, but has the underrated ability to go on offense.
At the end of the year, Stralman will end up with the better point totals by quite a bit.
I LOVE Stral's +/- though.
If nothing else, as a D-man, you DON'T want a score to happen while you are on the ice...and you want to facilitate the forwards scoring while you are on.
I think Stralman takes big time pride in that.[/QUOTE. Yes, I agree that Stralman will outpoint Girardi but consider the ice time and long shifts he plays he should. I hope he plays a little tougher in our zone and not floats around because of the length of shift,
lol wut.Gourde with his worst shift in a Lightning sweater.
He had two turnovers that shift - one leading to a goal. He did have a good backcheck on the shift as well.lol wut.
He made two good defensive plays, one to poke the puck out when Vlad tried to toe drag at the line, and the other to disrupt a scoring chance with a strong back check. The puck came back into the zone originally on a deflected pass from him, but it happens. He put that puck right onto Point's stick too.
I actually kind of like what Callahan was doing there. There was room if he could have hit it. He was boxed out pretty good so try something.
Again, it was off a skate and went cross ice. Not something a coach would get on you for. The second will be Point's turnover.He had two turnovers that shift - one leading to a goal. He did have a good backcheck on the shift as well.
