Couldn't watch the game but seems like Killorn-Filppula-Stamkos was in form with them all being -3. Oh well, 4 points were a lot better than I expected. At least I can watch games again as they don't start after 5am.
From that alone, if Coop has that top line together again he should have that extension revoked. Vasy may have let a softy in but the line had brutal turnovers so it was fitting for them. As per the PP, Cooper does not have a clue at this point. There is so much talent on this team not to have like a 20 to 25% PP.
As much as I like Flip, the overkill of his mins, especially the PP, needs to stop, at least Coop saw how bad Killorn was and cut his mins, he only played 12 mins last night. Johnson did not look good, he is not 100 percent. Stamkos...........LOL. I mean they got some lucky breaks, LA going off sides on that brutal turnover, oh and the empty netter hitting the post. I mean it was set up for a -5 night for that top line and Stamkos. They had luck on their side that they did not have an even
worse night.
Flip and Killorn should not be on the top line, Kucherov and Johnson don't have the chemistry anymore, so you need to put Kucherov and Stamkos together. It's the only time they actually looked dangerous, but had more faith in Drouin and Kucherov on that line to get it done.
I thought Stamkos played one of his best games of the season on Sat, blocking shots, protecting the lead and showing he gives a crap, only got an assist but I am more impressed with the sacrifice to help this team win, that is playing with heart. Then last night goes back to invisible mode.
