Somewhere Engblom is ******** his pants and throwing a fit. "YOU DON'T TAKE A SHOT AT THE NET FROM YOUR OWN ZONE! YOU FOCUS ON CLEARING IT!"

Almost 3 minutes of an empty net but we couldn't put it in, oh well, we won and that's all that matters.

Great win. And it's kinda nice to hear this team getting some respect. Heard the announcers saying we had the best third line in hockey. Thats pretty big praise.

Good game from the boys in blue. Is it just me or did Stamkos look invisible tonight. I kept asking myself if he had been on the ice lately, didn't see much of him.

Big two points. MTL lost tonight as well so it was a good night :nod:

What a a game. We had a playoff quality night. Good to get the Wings off our back too. Those 2 losses we had to them at the start of the year were utterly pathetic

Well the first PP (maybe first two?) his unit was out there for over a minute and we couldn't get anything going. Next couple of PPs we started the second unit and got two PP goals.

Coincidence, I'm sure.

18-91-90 was pretty well shutdown tonight. 17-9-86 was the best line by a mile.

That's not a bad thing. We at least have two scoring lines now. When one gets shut down, the other is capable of picking up the slack. By year's end, Johnson might be the 1C again. He's been looking more and more dangerous.

That's awesome, and great game to have it happen in as well.

Break might've done him some good. For the past couple of weeks his speed looked better every game, he just didn't have his shot back yet. Now his wrist shot has that zip again. He's close.

The big thing he did last year (that he hadn't done the year before) was handle the puck in traffic. I think that's what took him from a good player to a borderline elite player. We're seeing flashes of that again now too.

In other news, Kucherov is now 5 points up on Stamkos.

Is anyone here really all that shocked?
