[Sky04]

That's a leaky goal to give up

 

[JTBF81]

Vasy again the 2nd best goalie on the ice

 

[dechire]

Just got home so I haven't seen the injury yet but wishing Sergachev the best.

Aaand immediately a goal against lol

 

[aylib]

I guess they haven’t been watching Vasy on the broadcast talking about no freebies on Vasy

 

[Lightning1995]

Vassy is just another goalie now

 

[The Gongshow]

Did we just get another penalty?

 

[T REX]

There's still plenty they can trade. JBB just has to find the right partner and deal. They will have the cap space if Serg is out for the rest ofvthe season, and if they want any chance this year, he needs to make some moves soon.

I'm gonna have to ask what assets...please be specific.

At best

 

[Todd1a]

Getting stone walled by past his prime, old man Quick

Yep this game is done

 

[The Gongshow]

W.e score 8 on us again. f*** it

 

[Todd1a]

Vassy is just another goalie now

It’s crazy he’s not even a top 10 goalie anymore

 

[Ducati Boy]

The injury has completely gutted the jump we had.

 

[JFleegs]

What a bullshit call

 

[Rschmitz]

Not sure how these guys can even play. Your friend just had a career threatening injury and is in agony.

 

[The Gongshow]

Zibanajid is on my fantasy team. Hoping he gets a hatty tonight

 

[RDTBay4]

Vasilevskiy is the biggest fraud in the NHL. Get this loser out of my face.

 

[T REX]

Needed to get to intermission 1-0 to have a chance.

SMDH.

Sucks. Really sucks.

 

[JTBF81]

I'm gonna have to ask what assets...please be specific.

Depending on the player being targeted, he can still move the '24 3rd, '25 2nd, '26 1st, Howard, Huhtanen, Gauthier, Duke, Goncalves, Thompson and there are others. Players such as Lyubushkin, Duclair, Barabanov, Seeler and others like that won't break the bank and will provide needed depth. There's also guys luke Novak, Fabbro, maybe Sprong or Reilly Smith that will cost a bit more, and then of course the bigger fish like Tanev and Walker that might require a 1st/higher end prospects. There is plenty to use and plenty of players to target, some with term and others that are ufa but probabalg able to be re-signed. There is no reason to sit and do nothing unless the wheels fall off completely over the next 10-12 games.

 

[Todd1a]

Please save us Kucherov

 

[RDTBay4]

Way to play for your friend Vasi.

 

[Stammertime91]

I mean there's a lot going on here.

1. I would've been fine forfeiting this game because I knew a long break and MSG was a loss. It would've saved Serg.
2. As a franchise, JBB is in a bind.
3. This is probably going to be a difficult final stretch no matter what, regardless of who we get or just decide to ice.


Because of the contract and place on the team, Sergachev's injury is the type that can change a franchise in an unforeseen way. Same as Stamkos' injury. How long he's out, his recovery, how he comes back, all factors into that contract. Someone may emerge or be traded for, etc. Losing a core player is huge no matter who it ended up being. This f***ing blows monumentally. Of course without being said is the effect on the players as well. What a return to hockey this shitshow turned into.

 

[dechire]

I must be hallucinating because it sounded like they just said that Sergachev is the Bolts' best defenseman

 

[Todd1a]

Ya there crazy hedman is still the best defenseman by far . Sergachev is a solid 3 or 4 2nd pair guy

J. Quick is gonna shut us out

 

[Rschmitz]

I can't with this board tonight, hope I can actually enjoy a hockey game here with you all tomorrow.

 

[RDTBay4]

Sometimes it rains without Lightning.
