Its full animal timeBigger question...
Do I keep my beard neat and trimmed or do I go full animal until ahem, we hope, you know, and go full Grizzly Adams?
(Or do we need a new thread to debate this because well, you know)
Nikita Kucherov has best line of All-Star GameKucherov was asked what he has learned from coming so close to the Stanley Cup almost every year he has been with the Lightning.
“Make sure we score goals in games six and seven,” he deadpanned to laughter. “Play more defensively, help Vasy more back there and make sure we score goals.”
Steven Stamkos chimed in from next to Kucherov at the podium: “Great answer.”
So this is interesting. I mean, we knew it, but definitely can say Coburn is gone this offseason.
I think Coop may prefer having everyone playing their natural sides in the postseason, which would mean that Coburn may be the one left out.
This really is an interesting development. If Serge is staying on the left side long term that means Girardi over Coburn in the short term, which I don’t love.I am okay with that. Cobie has done an admirable job in having a good bounce back year after being in pairing hell (AKA with Sustr) the last few years. However, I am thrilled with the way Cernak has played and Sergachev's rounding into form minus a few bumps and bruises. Cobie is the odd man out and it's a nice problem to have.

Yes, but there's an organizational preference to play the same side as your handedness. If we have 3 RHD that can play, they'll play (especially because Girardi and Coburn are pretty much a wash quality-wise).Coburn can play the right side too though.
Personally I’d take Coburn over Girardi. But I get what you mean.Yes, but there's an organizational preference to play the same side as your handedness. If we have 3 RHD that can play, they'll play (especially because Girardi and Coburn are pretty much a wash quality-wise).

I'd prefer to have Coburn in over Erne, Callahan or Girardi for the playoffs. Hopefully they don't just sit him and go 11/7 instead.

Here's a legitimate question that I've been wondering for some time now:
Do hockey players ever sit down and get together and discuss forming a super team similar to that of the NBA?
Obviously the playoffs are vastly different between the sports, but I've started to wonder if they're going to give it a go right here in Tampa.
You have virtually every player taking discounts to sign and stay here (signing bonus for most of the contract and taxes do help with that) alongside a winning culture.
With Karlsson and Panarin being linked to Tampa as desired/possible destinations for both (former being heavily linked to wanting to be here), could the players and JBB actually make it happen?
I understand our cap situation but, with Coburn, Girardi, Callahan and JT Miller off next year, it may actually be possible (with a Point bridge/miracle) to make it happen.
We've seen in the past where Selanne and Kariya got together but this is on a whole different level.
Just something that I've been wondering for some time now...almost seems like the final form of the Yzerplan.
my source says that is untrue just buy in was tooo high is all....This information also means TB was NEVER a player for Muzin
