[DFC]

At home against a team we tend to beat up on, with not one but two players off to historic starts, and with the team playing so hot that even we on the HF board are feeling pretty good...

This looks like such an easy win that we're obviously going to get crushed.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Prepare for a letdown

With that said the Lightning have never started 6-0 at home.

 

[JoVel]

They've been pretty much automatic 2 points for us since the start of 2013-14 and have been getting worse year by year. That being said, if the team has the same mindset that I do, we're probably going to lose.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Let's go !!!

Will be there tonight!

Win or lose, please, oh please, may Abdelkader be on the receiving end of a beautiful, CLEAN, HARD yet legal hip check/open ice hit, preferably from Strålman.

 

[These Are The Days]

Just win baby!

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Rumour has it Vasilevskiy has started doing a new secret pregame ritual (since around the Columbus game). While no one can say for sure exactly what it is, the consensus from the locker room is that it is something similar to this.

 

[Werewolf]

When we last faced them they were 4 - 1 and now they are 4 - 5 - 1 with 5 straight losses. We crushed their spirits and we are in their head. Waiting on Blashill to get fired so we can hire him as our AHL coach.

 

[The Macho King]

Sustr's stat line is amazing. 4GP, 0p, 0g, 0a, -3, 6PIMs.

 

[The Macho King]

Also - no way we win this one. I have a feeling Frk is going to Frking kill us.

 

[MattM92]

Typical Lightning let down game. We have to lose one eventually.

 

[BergyMeister]

Bolts 4-2

 

[Leonardo87]

This team ain't losing anytime soon. They are locked in even if they have a bad period they will find a way to win.

I don't think that's the reason; it's because of Vegas. After beating them, the Red Wings are 0-4-1. I think we should just let the Golden Knights beat us when we face them eventually.

Wings win 3-2.

This is one of those games you can't really predict before hand how things will go, it all will really come down to which Tampa team that shows up but hopefully it will be the better Tampa team.

 

[HoseEmDown]

Sustr's stat line is amazing. 4GP, 0p, 0g, 0a, -3, 6PIMs.

Prior to being on the ice for two empty net goals and getting and assist on one of them this was Dotchin stat line, 8gp, 0p, 0g, 0a, 0, 5pim. That's with getting to play with Hedman almost every shift and more offensive zone starts then defensive.

Sustr hasn't done anything special this year but he hasn't been garbage either, 2 of his penalties where weak calls as well. I would play Koekkoek over him because of his potential and offensive ability but with Hedman and Sergachev doing that on the left he isn't getting the chance unfortunately.

It's to the point now where you Feel they will most likely win. Good teams still find a way to win even if they don't play a good game. This is a very good team right now.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Didn't we lose Stamkos last year in a Red Wings game?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Didn't we lose Stamkos last year in a Red Wings game?

Yup in it was like in the 2nd game, Just like this.

 

[Sky04]

Easy win will be thoroughly disappointed if we don't outscore them by at least 3

 

[Brie]

Same lineup as last game with Brown and Sustr in and Vasy in net.



Paquette won't be back for a while still.

 

[Stormbreaker]

He'll mend up only to be out after a game or 2.

 

[Werewolf]

Keep feasting
