Yep Vasi was also great!
Do we start Dom tomorrow?

Yeah, I think we should. Gotta get him back on the horse.

Ottawa's probably gonna come out hard, after getting embarrassed today. We'll likely have to weather another storm.

Story of the game for me was the Stamkos 2nd goal. He passed out of that situation in the Nashville game and it cost us, tonight however he had two scores from wristers. I bet Price was as surprised to see that as we were which is why it went past him

If Stamkos is relying on his one timer, he'll get his 20 goals. If he shoots from the slot area like he did tonight, he'll have 40. That's how he scored his 60, finding soft areas and shooting. He hasn't had consecutive productive games this season, hopefully this changes tomorrow.

I liked his first goal too. Not so much the shot he scored on, but the one directly before. Normally, he's been passing that, but that time, he just fired, and it bounced around in front of the net until Kuch pulled it out of the chaos and found Stammer again. But the shot created the chaos that eventually led to the goal.

Nice to see that Stamkos realized it was hockey season. Well you called it DFC. Helluva game by him.

Ottawa will be interesting. Hopefully we don't stink it up

Hope Stammer can get some consistency in his game. If he always needs a terrible game to come out flying the next one it’s gonna be a long season. Nonetheless, go Stammer, great game!

 

[LightningStrikes]

Sick snipe by Millersy too!

On the bright side though, we're in a better position than ever to have Stamkos be a complementary player rather than a guy we depend on. Kucherov is another matter, and last night was not good for him, despite the pair of assists.

 

[T REX]

Need to Stammer play better for an extended length. Nice game boys.

I don't see it happening. But man, if he would just shoot the ****ing puck whenever he has an opportunity to shoot, good things will happen for the team. His first goal showed that.

This is why I don't like those little flutter shots we always try from the point (the Matt Carle special, but pretty much everybody uses it; Pretty sure it's a Cooper directive). Yes, they're easier to tip, but we don't really have anybody who does that regularly, but, the downside is, rebounds and bounces are predictable, and therefore easy to defend, because the puck is moving slowly. You crank a shot like Stamkos's, on the other hand, and you don't know where the puck's going to end up, even if it's stopped or blocked or whatever, and there's as much a chance of it winding up on a TB stick as the opposition.

I think sometimes this team--Stamkos and everybody else--shoots the puck only when they HAVE a great scoring chance rather than in hopes of CREATING a great scoring chance. Stammer's first goal was created by a shot that hit Miller in the back, and set Montreal scrambling to defend.

Couldn’t watch the game last night. How did drouin look?

Noticed his speed, he had a few nice passes too. Took a dumb penalty near the end of the game. I feel like he holds onto the puck a little too much

 

[DFC]

Still pretty dangerous, I thought. Faster than last year, but not close to the speed he showed with us. He plays a safer, more simplified game now, but when he turns it on, he still makes things happen.

 

[FinnLightning26]

If Stamkos would play against Price in every game, he would be a 100 goal scorer.

 

[Boltswin]

Is that what's happening? It is just plain awful, whatever it is. If that's what their best cover band sounds like in Montreal, you just need to go with the real thing. That "band" should not be employed, anywhere, ever.

It sounded like the Barenaked Ladies singer doing covers to me

 

[haulinbass]

Is Vasilevski going back to back and 3 games in 4 nights? Anything official yet?

Domingue will get the start

@Sky04 SUCK IT HATERS
