friend is saying is not walking right now

 

[Hockey4Life91]

Nothing matters for 9 games. Let’s give Foote a game or two just to acclimate him to the NHL pace. Why not?

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

I did jinx us didn't I? Lol

 

[ccman68]

Would love to see Foote get some games. Not that he is even close to ready but it would benefit him to see how different the game is in the NHL.

 

[Lightning1995]

And now you wonder about not acquiring another depth defenseman.

He can't be worse than Rutta, that's for sure. Should have kept Koekkoek and that's saying something. Bolts are screwed if they have to dress Rutta for playoff games. He's brutal...

 

[God King Fudge]

Getting Stralman back healthy is the most important thing.

Girardi is definitely important so we don't have to dress Rutta, but as long as we have Stralman, we're in a good spot assuming G isn't done for a long period of time and could come back in the first round sometime.

I'd like to see Hedman-Sergachev stay together once he comes back, though.

Hedman-Serge
McDonagh-Cernak
Coburn-Stralman

Hedman-Serge
McDonagh-Cernak
Coburn-Stralman

I like the Hedman - Sergachev pairing as well, but that is probably because Hedman and Sergachev are my favorite players on the team right next to Stamkos and Vasilevskiy. I think Cooper will put Sergachev back on the bottom pairing when Stralman comes back. Cooper said that he likes Sergachev with Hedman though right? I feel like I heard Rick Peckham mention that last game.

Not really.....

He was complimentary of them, but he's not gonna come out and say they're trash together, either.

I think Coburn-Stralman is probably one of the most solid 5-6 pairings you're going to find and Hedman is good and fast enough to cover for Sergachev defensively if needed.

Having Sergachev with Hedman and Stralman with Coburn really spreads out the wealth on the back end.

That is very true

[LightningStrikes]

 

[DFC]

I would advocate bringing up some other D, but if Rutta is our #8, he probably needs the games to get him ready for the playoffs just in case we need him then too. As bad as he looks now, he'd probably look worse with fewer games in the system.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

 

[The Gongshow]

As long as we get Strålman back we'll be fine

Hedman - Stralman
McD - Cernak
Coburb - Serg

Is a solid D lineup

 

[AlmostThere242]

Anyone know how Girardi got hurt? I missed it...

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Not sure, but i don’t think it’s a typical blocked shot injury. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him out longer than the remaining 5 games with his foot “injury.”

 

[Stormbreaker]

Hopefully Stralman is good to go on Saturday need him to knock off the rust.

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Good. Hope he's in on Saturday to get back up to speed.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Good. Hope he's in on Saturday to get back up to speed.

If TB gets a healthy Stralman and Palat and back to their games good luck to everybody in the playoffs.

 

[The Gongshow]

We have a nice 4 days off for Strals to get ready and healthy for Saturday, hoping Palat and Girardi are good for a game to two before playoffs but playoffs at the very least.
