Yay wins!!

Outside of a bad stretch at the start of the 3rd we played really well and I wouldn't mind seeing these lines a few more games.

Easy one. I don't even care when they let off the gas, so long as the lead is big enough. They seem to know they can turn it back on any time they want.

Well that was mostly fun. :D

Can we pleeeeeease keep these defense pairs?? Hedman/Strålman were (with one exception, lol) smooth as silk together. Sergachev/Girardi actually looked really good! Perhaps the third pair could simply be Coburn playing with either Dotchin or Sustr depending on who is the 7th Dman from week to week. :P

I like Koekkoek, but I think he needs to be traded to a team that will give him some serious ice time so he can progress.

I'd like to keep Koekkoek as depth, unless we add some D. Trade him at the draft if there's still a leftside logjam.

Don't be surprised to see Sustr getting in more. He's been playing very well. Gotta give credit where it's due.

The 4th team in Atlantic is just barely over .500 so we might as well win the next 5 games and then not play until playoffs.

The new lines worked pretty well:

Gourde-Stamkos-Johnson
Killorn-Point-Kucherov
Erne-Namestnikov-Conacher
Kunitz-Peca-Callahan

We played alright. I think if we played a team better than Vancouver it would not have been 4-0 after 2.

Love the idea of that Gourde - Stamkos - Johnson line. Gourde is the puck hound, Johnson the set up man and Stamkos the shooter. That fourth goal was a perfect example of what they can do. I hope they give them a few games to see if they can take off.
