GDT: 12/5/15 - 10:30PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ San Jose

[Kramerica Industries]

unfortunately, so did the rest of the Atlantic.

Like I said when I checked the scores earlier tonight - do any of them lose anymore? Jeezus. Detroit, Ottawa, Florida all on win streaks, and even Boston losing 2/3 in Western Canada came in OT and shootout losses, so they still accrued points all the same.

Is a high stick to a goalie that causes an injury not a penalty? I think it was incidental contact but they call high sticks for it all the time even if the guy barely makes contact with the head. What tha?

 

[These Are The Days]

Praying so hard for Bishop right now

Yeah it doesn't have to be intentional for it to be a penalty. Obviously he didn't mean to, but it was still careless to hold it out in front of his face like that.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Good news

 

[Hoek]

Chalk another one up in the drama queen column I guess.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Well at least we can all go to sleep without that worry.

 

[PaulGG]

Good news

Whew, dodged one

 

[These Are The Days]

Well thank God he's okay. I'm sure we'll have Vasy in net tomorrow night so may as well give Bishop a few days to let the swelling go down in his eye.

...BEATABLEl

 

[The Gongshow]

Florida has won 5 straight... Ottawa, Detroit and Boston haven't been losing at all lately.

 

[dechire]

RIP Bishop's face

 

[Sky04]

Brent Burns is a ****ing beast on the point.

Missed this one. Seems like Drouin got 13 minutes while Filppula at 23 minutes played more than Hedman at 22 so seems like Coop's decision train is still going full speed ahead. Oh well, at least we got the win so that's good.

We took 8 penalties, so that kept a lot of guys who normally don't kill penalties off the ice.

 

[The Gongshow]

At least Coop is finally using Hedman the way he should be used with 20+ minutes a night. The less Carle the better

 

[Iceman]

Burns played 10 more minutes than Hedman. 10!

My heart sank when I read "Bishop injured" on NHL.com. Fortunately it only seems like a minor thing that he exaggerated again. Without him we're officially doomed. Vasy is good and all but we don't have even half of our 13 wins without Bish.

I would play a guy who could do this the entire 2 mins on a PP every chance I got. Burns has more points than any Lightning forward as well.

Hedman is a defensive and transition beast but I hope he can find a way to develop his offensive game in the zone.

It was because we were on the PK so much. Stammer was on the PK which was an unusal sight and he did good!

 

[PaulGG]

Best thing about the win is Bish will be ok it seems.
Second best thing is we didn't lose our composure in the 3rd in the face of the Sharks surging ,taking out our goalie and the refs calling everything on Bolts and nothing on the Sharks.
There should be a complaint to the league on the non call on the Bishop high stick because it was so dangerous.

Hedman shows glimpses of his offensive skill every now and then, and joins a rush or two. Wish he was a better QB on the PP. There are times where you see him completely take over a game too which is nice. Burns did play forward a few years ago, he's very talented, that beard alone makes him amazing.

You're not saying Bishop faked it right? He was bleeding from his eye after all lol...

 

[Hoek]

Nah, just that he had us so worried. Thank god he's okay!

Luckily I'd paused the 3rd to eat dinner so I'd already heard he was okay before I watched it in the game. Even knowing it wasn't serious I was still freaking out when I saw it. Hopefully he'll be okay to play this week. I don't know if there's any swelling that might affect his vision.
