GDT: 2/28/18 - 7:00PM EDT - Buffalo vs Tampa Bay

But we've to wait until next week to see him playing.

Cooper DTD deetadee strikes again.

Our lines look like garbage without Kucherov. Wow.

 

[RDTBay4]

I'm really scared Kucherov has a dreaded wrist injury.

 

[Fabiobest]

This roster is enough to defeat the Sabres.
No doubts about it.
Probably Kucherov will be off also in the road game at Dallas. 5-6 days off will be the right precaution, imho.

 

[Brie]

At least neither sounds like they are too far away from playing which is good.

Conacher has had 1 really good game up here and then spends most of his time falling down or losing puck battles on the boards. Really not sure what Cooper sees in him to justify getting ice time. Would have liked Peca to get his ice time. Now with Bournival up, maybe he could steal some time from Conacher!

Just need to put a high effort game together and we should come out with a win.

Why is at 7 today, if not on NBCSN?

If I had to guess, Domingue is playing tonight since we are playing a hot Ben Bishop tomorrow night in Dallas. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

But who knows. Vasilevskiy has different stick tape for Hockey is for Everyone night, gay pride deal. Rainbow tape.

Thought I read Vasy first off the ice today

Vasy was the first goalie off the ice:

Yes, as usual we've to put the 100% on the ice.
But tonight, we'll have enough quality in the roster to win the game (if we'll play well) also without Kucherov.
The important thing is not to risk him

Looking at the standings...man it would be nice to see NYI in the first round if we were able to hold first place.

Only scary team that could hit 8th is Columbus. Having a “down” year with the worst PP in the league at like 9%

 

[Fabiobest]

Let's see what happens.

 

[wahsnairb]

Instagram story confirms JT in. Honestly sounded like Mac in, too. Though what he said could also just mean whenever his first game ends up being.

“... pretty pumped to join the team down here in Tampa. Excited to get out there for my first game. Look forward to seeing you guys there.”

I think they take it easy with him. Supposively has been banged up all year. We need to let him rest and get healed up. We still have a lot of hockey to play if we go far.

How many days a week do you have dreams about a "hot Ben Bishop?"

How many days a week do you have dreams about a "hot Ben Bishop?"

He just had a 37 save shutout or something last night. He played really well.
