Cernak might be good to go tonight, Coburn coming out if he is.

Why Rutta and Schenn stay in over him, who knows.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Love the new combos up front!

This may be the start of something great with these new lines

 

[JoVel]

How was Volkov last game and where did he play?

Coburn has been pretty bad so far this year. We did give up 6 with Schenn and Rutta in the lineup but neither looked bad or were at fault for any of the goals. We would have 4 RD in that case so doesn't make sense to bench Coburn.

I hope we don't put Maroon back in. The 4th line was much better without him.

Coburn needs some rest with this 7 day break in between games coming up...

When Rutta was out there at the end of the game vs Jersey I was saying great Ruttas out there this game is going to OT. Seconds later they score. Granted it wasnt his fault, McDonagh got pushed out of the crease by Palmeiri and that was that. Still made me laugh when they scored. And cry a little too...

Hahahaha

Like if I needed more reasons to believe we were going to lose, Rutta's in

 

[Stammertime91]

Shattenkirk will score again tonight.


Book it.

Glad they seem to keep the PowerPoint line together!

I would like to see more of Schenn, see if he can keep up the solid performances from last spring, could be a useful bottom-pairing guy for us.

I've been out of the loop a bit but can anyone explain Shattenkirk's comments recently about how (paraphrasing):

"These guys have to get over last year. We're not going to be playing like that anymore."

Is this in reference to the apparent system change? If so, has this been publically acknowledged by the players/staff?

12-1 islanders

Na its a trotz team islanders win 3-0 we give up two power play goals

This post is the first time I've seen it/noticed it. But yeah, that sounds like a system thing. And maybe there's a bit of a push-back on the changes.

I'll see if I can find the video.

If any member of the team is reading this...ahem...TAKE YOUR HEADS OUR OF YOUR ASSES AND PLAY LIKE YOU KNOW YOU CAN. STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF, OH YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR COACH? TOO BAD, GROW UP AND PLAY. STOP POUTING.

Got that off my chest.


But yeah, thats pretty much all I think thats wrong with them right now. (yes I want Cooper gone regardless) but I really do think that they are acting like a bunch of prima donnas and pouting because teams aren't just rolling over and letting them win. If everyone on that team started giving 110% and busting their ass then there would be ZERO issues right now.


Go Bolts!

Ya I have absolutely no faith that they win this game they won’t give 100 percent effort and as soon as we get down 2-0 it’s over trotz will trap them

 

[Flat Ronnie]

I'll see if I can find the video.

Here it is about half way through. It's basically what I thought: they are acknowledging that there is a new mentality in the gameplan this year and they cant think they're better than everyone like last year.



If the link doesn't work it was posted recently on the team's Facebook page.

I think the only way we don’t lose this game is if the power in the Arena goes out and they can’t play the game !

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

Andy's been pretty good lately on Lightning broadcasts. Pointing out facets of the game that the game-in-game-out broadcasts overlook because everything is in the moment. It's been what I've wanted for years. Give fans the tools to be better viewers.

I think we all hear crazy things casual fans say in the stands. 'No one dumps-and-chases anymore' (in the most literal sense because they hear about the popularity of the possession game). Not understanding why a forward would pass the puck to a defenseman (when there're no options) on a breakout, etc. There are many season ticket holders who don't really understand what they're looking at.

A lot of fans seem to need to make that leap to appreciate the backup plan. That you can't always get the perfect order of events. Sometimes the Lightning will break their plays on their own just fine, but the other team is trying to mess them up too. It goes both ways.

Sun Sports/Lightning should clip these segments for social media.

Go BOLTS!!!!

Just got home so I'm ready to watch the game. Hope to see the team show up tonight.
